What are earch
engines? are essentially a document retrieval program.
They use computer programs that follow links on the
internet and catalog web pages. The programs analyze the
pages to try and figure out what the pages are about.
Once they establish the page content, that page is
indexed under a keyword, or set of keywords that relates
to that page.
When someone enters a
search term into the search engines, the software
displays the most relevant WebPages, based on the
keywords they’re filed under. You could think of the
internet as a giant filing cabinet and each website is a
file folder. The search engines simply sift through the
files and pull out the ones that match what you’re
looking for.
It usually starts
with the top 10 results. So the challenge is trying to
convince the search engines that your webpage is more
important than everyone else in you niche. If you do
that, it means a lot of traffic for your website.
So its not a mystical
instrument. It’s just a document retrieval system. Yeah.
Actually it’s like a match making service.
