What is a Search Engine?

database that correspond to keywords or characters specified by the
user, used especially for finding particular sites on the World Wide
Web.

Examples Of Popular Search Engines

How Do Search Engines Work?
• Spider “crawls” the web to find new documents (web pages, other
documents) typically by following hyperlinks from websites already in their
database.
• Search engines indexes the content (text, code) in these documents by
adding it to their databases and then periodically updates this content.
• Search engines search their own databases when a user enters in a search
to find related documents (not searching web pages in real-time).
• Search engines rank the resulting documents using an algorithm
(mathematical formula) by assigning various weights and ranking factors.

Search Engines Statistics
1. Google – 41.6%
2. Yahoo – 31.5%
3. MSN – 27.4%
4. AOL – 13.6%
5. Ask – 7.0%

Why Is Search Engine Marketing Important?
• 85% of all traffic on the internet is referred to by
search engines
• 90% of all users don’t look past the first 30 results
(most only view top 10)
• Search engine traffic is low and websites aren’t
indexed because they are generally poorly optimized
• Cost-effective advertising
• Clear and measurable ROI
• Operates under this assumption:
Note:- More (relevant) traffic + Good Conversions Rate = More
Sales/Leads

On-Page & Off-Page Ranking Factors
• Effective On-page SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be
incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to
describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other
elements that have been optimized for the purpose of search engine exposure.
• Off-page optimization are strategies for search engine optimization that are done off the pages of a website
to maximize its performance in the search engines for target keywords related to the page content.
Examples of off-page optimization include linking, and placing keywords within link anchor text. Methods of
obtaining links can also be considered off-page optimization. These include:
• Press releases
• Article distribution
• Social networking via sites like MySpace, Digg, Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, Slashdot etc
• Link campaigns, such as asking complementary businesses to provide links
• Directory listings
• Link exchanges
• Three-way linking
• One-way linking
• Blogging
• Forum posting
• Multi way linking
• Internet Marketing

What is Organic & Non-Organic Search?
• Organic search results are listings on search engine
results pages that appear because of their relevance to
the search terms, as opposed to their being
advertisements. In contrast, non-organic search results
may include pay per click advertising.
• Non-Organic/Paid Search/Pay Per Click (PPC) is an
Internet advertising model used on websites, in which
advertisers pay their host only when their ad is clicked.
With search engines, advertisers typically bid on
keyword phrases relevant to their target market.
Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click
rather than use a bidding system.

Where are the Organic/Non-Organic Results?

Industry Research – Who gets the clicks?
The vast majority of clicks -- roughly 60 percent, go to organic listings.
Organic Clicks vs. Paid Clicks
Search Engine % Organic Listing

% Organic Listing
Click Through
Google 35% 65%
Yahoo 51% 49%
MSN 29% 71%
AOL 40% 60%
Average 39% 61%

Industry Research: Organic SEO is the most
popular form of SEM
• Organic SEO is the most popular form of SEM, with almost
three-quarters of advertisers using this method, with paid
placement a very close second at 74%
Organic SEO 96%
Paid Placement 94%
Paid Inclusion 20%

Reasons To Conduct SEO

White Hat Versus Black Hat
• A SEO tactic, technique or method is considered white had if it conforms to
the search engines’ guidelines and involves no deception. White hat advice
is generally summed up as creating content for users not for search
engines, and then making that content easily accessible to the spiders,
rather than attempting to game the algorithm. White hat SEO is in many
ways similar to web development that promotes accessibility, although the
two are not identical.
• Black Hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved
of by the search engines, or involve deception. One Black Hat technique
uses text that is hidden, either as text colored similar to the background on
whether the page is being requested by a human visitor or a search engine,
a technique known as cloaking. Search engines may penalize sites they
discover using black hat methods, either by reducing their rankings or
eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can
be applied either automatically by the search engine’ algorithms, or by a
manual site review.

What is a SEO Algorithm?
• Top Secret! Only select employees of a search engines
company know for certain

SEOs (search engine optimization professionals) a
“pretty good” idea of the major factors and approximate
weight assignments.
