optimization
(SEO) is the process of
improving the amount and quality of
traffic to a web site from search
engines such as Yahoo, Google ,MSN
etc via "natural" ("organic" or
"algorithmic") search results for
targeted keywords.
Most commonly, the

"ranks", the more searchers will
visit that site.

As a marketing
strategy for increasing a site's
relevance, SEO considers what people
search for, by phrases, words etc
and how search algorithms work.
SEO efforts involve a
site's coding, presentation, and
structure, as well as fixing
problems that could prevent search
engine indexing programs from fully
spidering a site. Most importantly,
adding unique content to a site,
ensuring that content is easily
indexed by search engine robots, and
making the site more appealing to
users.
