What is SEO and how to get top rankings in search engines?

By: Fione Tan | Posted: 03rd January 2007

I guess for some of you, the first question is "what is SEO"? When I asked this question in our seminars across Asia, less than 10% knew the answer. "SEO" stands for search engine optimization, or search engine optimisation. This is how to optimize your website to get higher rankings in search engines in the natural, or organic search results, without paying for advertising charges.

The most common question put to us, when I showed them our numerous top rankings in search engines, is how did we do that?

To cut a long story short, you have to do onsite and offline SEO.

Onsite SEO is what you do to your website to make it search engine friendly. This includes

1. Your website structure.

2. The meta tags of your site

3. The contents of your site

4. The inter-linkage of the internal pages of your site

5. The keywords links in your site ..and More

I will talk about more about this and what is offsite SEO in another posting.

If you have any questions on SEO, you are welcome to let me know by leaving your comments. I will try to answer your questions.
