Search engine optimization is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's 'natural', 'un-paid,' or 'organic' search results. In general, the earlier and more frequently a site appears in the search engine results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users.
As an internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.
