Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization or SEO as it is commonly known, is the act of editing a website page's content and SEO elements (seo elements refer to the different areas of a web page that play a key role in how well a web page ranks on a search engine) to increase the density of target keywords on the page so that the search engines recognize the page as you intend.  Generally speaking, the more focused a page of content is, the better it will rank for keyword searches included in the page's content and SEO elements.  However, it is important to note that many people make mistakes, usually when they are new to optimizing a page for the search engines, with no real understanding of the search engines and how they operate.
