By Mr. Altaf Gohar

This new era trend drives the attention of website owners as well as webmasters that how to get much visitors from search engines. In fact the targeted visitors for a website can be found only if one can optimize the website according to the search engine criteria. Every day thousands of the thousand new websites published on the internet, while every website is supposed to do its business just by finding targeted visitors around the globe. Lots of the techniques and methods exist there to get visitors. There is simple and costly way to get visitors by advertising on the search engine, social media websites and some affiliate portals as well. Search engine optimization (SEO), is an only a way to get free of cost and continuously visitors from the search engines. Which is the most reliable ways to improve traffic is to achieve a high ranking on search engine return pages (SERPs). While this is only possible if some one knows that “how search engine optimization (SEO) works?”

Search Engines:-

There are lots of search engine but most prominent and effectively deriving targeted traffic to any website are Google, Yahoo and Bing. All these search engines have their won criteria to measure the website and then place it accordingly at their SERPs.

Imagine that you've created the definitive Web site on a subject -- we'll use NGOs as an example. Your site is so new that it's not even listed on any SERPs yet, so your first step is to submit your site to search engines like Google and Yahoo. The Web pages on your skydiving site include useful information, exciting photographs and helpful links guiding visitors to other resources. Even with the best information about skydiving on the Web, your site may not crack the top page of results on major search engines. When people search for the term "NGOs," they could end up going to inferior Web sites because yours isn't in the top results.

While most search engine companies try to keep their processes a secret, their criteria for high spots on SERPs isn't a complete mystery. Search engines are successful only if they provide a user links to the best Web sites related to the user's search terms. If your site is the best skydiving resource on the Web, it benefits search engines to list the site high up on their SERPs. You just have to find a way to show search engines that your site belongs at the top of the heap. That's where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in -- it's a collection of techniques a webmaster can use to improve his or her site's SERP position.

In this article, we'll look at two SEO philosophies: the white hat approach and the black hat approach. We'll also learn about some of the problems webmasters can encounter when trying to satisfy both the visitors to the site and search engines.

There are some more integral parts of SEO, which must be understood well to get aware about the seo work as;

Importance of the Keywords:-

Keywords are terms or (more often) phrases you would expect someone to search for to find your website. With SEO you pick your keywords and create pages focused on them. You can only focus each page on a specific keyword phrase or few specific keywords. One of the best tricks to SEO is to gain traffic using many pages focused on specific terms vice focusing on broad single word terms. Specific terms are usually easier to rank well for and often have a higher conversion rate (since a longer query is often associated with greater searcher intent).

Use the SEO friendly Domain Name:-

Acquiring links is important to rank well for competitive terms. When possible you want the links pointing at you to use your keywords in them. Other sites (especially directories) are more inclined to link to you with your keywords in the link text if they are also in your official site name or domain name. It is usually a good idea to use your keywords in your domain name when possible.

SEO Feedback Time Frame:-

When you search a search engine you are not searching the web. You are searching their cache of the web. It takes search engines some finite amount of time to find and properly index new links and pages.

If you are new to SEO (or are just beginning to do SEO on your website) it may take up to six months or more to gain a top ranking for a competitive phrase. If you work hard enough you can usually rank well for less competitive phrases in as little as a couple months.

Getting Top Rankings can take a Long Time:-

Some of your biggest competitors have likely been around for a long time and have many links built up over time. You can view their links by:

• Searching Yahoo! for linkdomain:www.CompetingWebsite.com ;


• Searching Google for link:www.CompetingWebsite.com ;


• Yahoo! usually shows more links to your site than Google does, and each search engine will likely show some links the other is not showing;


• Search engines know of and evaluate many more links than they show using a backlink check. Even though all links do not display, checking backlink can help you estimate the popularity of a site.

Link Building:-

• Register your site in major directories such as the Yahoo! Directory and DMOZ. I also register my client’s websites in many of the smaller directories and niche specific directories. Search engines often do not count links that go through redirects, so before spending money on a listing you will want to check if the directories provide static links. Business.com and the Yahoo! Directory are two directories which provide static links and show tracking URLs in the status bar when you hover over the links. Most other directories that show tracking URLs do not provide links that are evaluated by search engines.


• Write press releases and articles and syndicate them on other sites. Link back to your site (using your keywords when possible) in the article signature block.


• Ask friends, product manufacturers, product distributors, and other business partners to link to your site.


• Sponsor sites and get them to link to you.


• Buy advertising from related websites.

SEO Cost estimate?

This factor depends upon the keyword competition. If the desired key word is in high competition then the estimate cost will be measured accordingly while the usual way is raveled there. Quality SEO is time-consuming and usually requires an investment of at least 4 figures if you are paying someone else to do your SEO for you. You may be able to find a cheaper SEO service if you are in a niche field and have your keywords in the domain name. I would suggest setting aside at least a thousand or few thousand dollars for SEO if you are hiring an SEO.

Some SEO steps are time-consuming and expensive. Long-term link building requires significant expense in both time and money. The cost of effective SEO can sometimes be as low as $500 to $1,000 and it can cost $10,000 a moth depending on how niche or competitive your field is.

The price of SEO is typically market driven. Niche fields do not cost much, but if you are in a business that can make thousands of dollars per day then you should expect to be paying thousands of dollars per month.

It may be worth it to hire someone in-house to do SEO. If you do your own SEO services make sure you account for the time you spend when figuring out how much it is costing you.

How to Local SEO?

These days this trend is growing rapidly to optimize websites locally or for some specific area. This is because search engines are localizing their services. In past Google, Yahoo and Bing returns every search query with their world wide collection of data which some times not needed for a seeker. Now, especially Google, hunting all the queries towards to the local servers and send results only from native database. This notion develops local seo trend and webmasters as well as website owners must consider this while doing seo work.
