So what isSearch Engine Optimization (SEO)

and why do you need it?

How Does This Relates To Google?

Page 12: Social Media Beyond LinkedIn

www.ravoth.com

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) The process of improving the volume & quality of traffic to a web site incl. online conversation from search engines via "natural" (organic or algorithmic)search

results.

The active practice of optimizing a website by

improving internal and external aspects in order to increase traffic the site receives

from search engines.

SEO refers to techniques that help your website rank higher in the organic/natural search results including online

conversations.

This helps more people who are looking for your career profile to find you.

How Do Search Engines Work?① Search engine bots/spiders are

continuously crawling the web, making note of new pages and content. They are not overly sophisticated, which is why html sites with properly built links/navigation often outrank more dynamic sites that use Flash and JavaScript links.

② Specialized search spiders later return to web pages to gather new information and it is eventually added to the search engine’s index. Again, these bots are basic…they can read text and links, but not much else.

③ When you conduct a search, the results are displayed almost magically, but a lot is happening behind the scenes. Results are pulled from the current Index, based on a complex algorithm which ranks the results.
