search engine optimization

Attracting more free visitor traffic is the goal of any blogger or website owner. Search engine optimization can help with this because it is the process of fine-tuning a web site to attract higher rankings in search engine results.

SEO tactics include modification of key words and phrases visible on the site to visitors, editing of meta tags, improvement in the site’s layout and graphic presentation, and pursuit of links from other relevant web sites. All of these SEO factors combine to make it easier for search engine bots to crawl a web site and more accurately index its content. Improved indexing by search engines leads to improved accuracy in the site’s categorization in search results and therefore attracts even more targeted visitor traffic.

While SEO is part of the larger specialty of SEM (search engine marketing) it is usually designed to increase visitor traffic by improving the site’s free (“organic”) ranking in search engine results, not through the application of paid search (pay per click keyword advertising) techniques.

If you are interested in cost-effective ways to grow your web site or blog’s visitor traffic, learning more about SEO is a good investment of your time.
