What is SEO, SEO Techniques and Types

I know many people of SEO field who do not know what is SEO, what are the techniques and types of SEO. So, I decide to write a post on this topic. I hope this article will melt off all the questions and confusions from their mind.

SEO is the abbreviation of Search engine optimization. It is a continuous process of website promotion which requires a systematic way and systematic strategy. It refers to the collection of techniques and methods that allow a website to get more visitors from search engines- Google, Yahoo, Bing. It is a process by which visitors are generated on a website through free, natural, article and organic listings in search engines. Therefore a website which is highly rated appears on the top of the search engine. SEO is not the process of purchasing number 1 link through Google Adwords.

 Search engine analyzes two things while prioritizing the website-

1.      Content:  Content of the website should be unique and relevant to the website. The search engine bot analyze these things when it crawl and index the website. It also checks the title, description and tags of the website. Title, tags, description should be relevant to the site.

2.    Backlinks: Incoming links to the website is known as backlinks. When the search engine bot crawls the website for indexing, it also checks the backlinks. Inbound links should be greater than outgoing links. But all the links should be quality backlinks. Focus on quality backlinks not on quantity of backlinks.
