Before creating a web site you should have decided how you intend to get visitors or ‘traffic’ to your web pages. Whether your website is commercial or not then sooner or later you are going to want to attract visitors. You want the majority of visitors to come from search engines. The best type of visitor traffic comes from search engines as it’s free and it’s targeted.

Search engines stay in business by understanding what the user are searching for and delivering relevant results. The precision of the results presented to the searchers are a key factor in maintaining search engine user loyalty. The more users come back the stronger the search engine brand and the more money they make. The search engine objectives are very similar to the ones you should set for your web pages.Acquire users and keep them coming back.

So what should you do?. There are two methods that you can use. You can write useful and relevant content or you can use the advertising methods offered by search engines and other properties.

Search engines have a simple philosophy that nothing exists on the web without a keyword or a key phrase . Keywords tell the search engines what the user is looking for. The search engine performs a look up on its enormous indexes to fetch a list of web pages that contain instances of the keyword and returns them in a predefined order of relevance. The two factors that decide what results a search engine returns are authority and relevancy.

Authority is a function of the back links to a web page and relevance is largely down to on page factors such as the number of times a keyword appears on the web page. The order of the list of results displayed by a search engine are conducive with the authority and volume of the back links to each page.

Back links are the sledge hammers of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

Back links have two major functions – routing traffic to your web pages and helping the search engines determine the ranking of your web pages in the results returned by a user search. Browsers who discover and click on back links containing keywords associated with their interests will be directed to your web pages. ‘Anchor text’ is the name given to the text label on a back link and is used by the search engines in assessing the value of a back link. Back links fall into a range of values that are derived from origin and anchor text.

Web pages with back links from authoritative pages acquire authority in the eyes of the search engines.The higher the authority of the web page ‘sending’ the back link the more authority is likely to received by your web pages.

Before putting any effort whatsoever into creating any web pages you should have considered how you intend to get people to visit and ‘consume’ your content. Be it selling a product or service or conveying an opinion or information you want to get attention and this means getting traffic. You want the majority of visitors to come from search engines. The best type of visitor traffic comes from search engines as it’s free and it’s targeted.

Search engine revenues rely upon the accuracy and relevance of the results they deliver to their users. Searchers will return over and over again to a search engine that delivers the most relevant results. More users returning, means more popularity and more sales. Your task is to work to achieve similar goals for your web pages.Persuade users to come back to your web pages over and over again.

So what should you do?. There are two key ways you can do this. You can write useful and relevant content or you can use the advertising methods offered by search engines and other properties.

Without a keyword or a key phrase search engines will simply ignore content. The user typing a keyword or phrase into the search engine starts the search process. The keyword entered by the user causes the search engine to search its indexes for the most accurate and relevant web pages. Search engines decide what web pages are returned by using two prime factors – authority and relevance.

Relevance is a function of the keywords in the text of the webpage and authority is determined by the number and type of back links . Search engines calculate the position of a web page in a returned list of results by measuring the authority and number of backlinks to each page.

Back links are critical to the quality of the search engines perception of your web pages.

Back links not only determine your position in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) but are a major source of visitor traffic. Users finding web pages with back links to your web page will click on your back links and visit your site if the keyword text in your back link is relevant to what they are searching for. The technical term for text associated with a back link is “anchor text” and this play a role in the value attributed to every back link discovered by the search engines. Whilst all back links are of value some are more valuable than others.

Web pages with back links from authoritative pages acquire authority in the eyes of the search engines.The higher the authority of the linking pages, the higher is the authority passed to your pages.
