How does search Engine Optimization impact our business positively?
Search Engine Optimization can drastically transform the profitability quotient of your business by increasing the visibility
of your website and directing targeted traffic to it. Whether you are a pure online marketer and rely completely on selling
products or services through web portals or an entrepreneur using the internet as an ancillary tool, SEO is essential for
sustained long-term gains. A top-10 ranking as compared to a Top-30 ranking has a considerable difference in the number of
visitors to a site. With a Top-10 rank you can expect 300-400 clicks per day for a popular product or category. However, the
clicks may reduce to 10-15 only if your website ranking drops from top-10 into the top-30s. The difference is drastic. Proper

There are three major search engines. Google, Yahoo & MSN. Google is the leading search engine with over 18 million search
hours per month. Google is a “crawler” based search engine. Crawler based search enginges have robots that are called
spiders. Spiders are automatically sent out by search engines to follow hyperlinks from one document to the next over the
web. When a spider finds a new site, it sends information back to the main site to be indexed. Spiders also search previously
spidered sites because information is ever changing and it will update catalogued sites.
