Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Information

The Modern Day Search Engine


The first task most netizens do when they log on to the internet is to visit their favorite search engine to find information on various topics.

Search Engine Updates vs. SEO


Webmasters always anxiously wait for a search engine update. Those who rank well want to see their sites get even better. Those who didn't do well expect a major boost. Those whose sites get de-indexed anticipate a major comeback. Those who just started new sites bet on their sites will make into the first page of search engine result pages (SERPs) for their targeting keywords. Of course, not everyone will be happy about the results of search engine updates. After all, search engine traffic is a zero-sum game - someone loses and someone gains.
