What exactly is search engine optimization? What are website backlinks? Anyone who has created a website for his or her business needs to be concerned with both of these. Once a website is launched for a business, the owner must find a way to drive traffic to the new site. Simply put, SEO is a process by which a webmaster (basically the person maintaining the website) tries to improve the volume and quality of traffic to the site through the search engines, by way of “organic” search results or unpaid methods.
On-Page vs. Off-Page Search Engine Optimization
Back in the day, “on-page SEO” was good enough for drawing traffic to a new website. Creating a website and submitting it to the major search engines was all it took. With today’s rapid advances in Internet marketing technology this is no longer sufficient. Webmasters must also be concerned with “off-page SEO” in order to drive targeted customers to their websites. Without getting too technical, on-page SEO mainly consists of the following necessary steps which will allow search engine spiders to find and index a website’s pages:
- Keyword Phrases in Description of Website
- Strongly Related to Keywords/Keyword Phrases (especially the landing page of the website)
- "Sprinkled” Throughout the Site’s Pages
In comparison, off-page SEO is now just as important, if not more important, than on-page search engine optimization. Off-page SEO is what all the major search engines, especially Google, will be looking at when rating a website. At the heart of a webmaster’s off-page SEO strategy, should be the acquisition of “backlinks.”
