The Importance of Search Engines

It is the successful ranking in the search engines that will ultimately bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. When a topic is typed for search, nearly instantly, the search engine will sift through the millions of pages it has indexed about and present search results that match your topic. The searched matches are also ranked, so that the most relevant ones come first.

Remember that a prospective customer will probably only look at the first page or the first 2-3 listings in the search results page. So it is important where your website appears in the search engine ranking.

Further, internet searchers all use one of the top half dozen search engines and these search engines bring more visitors to websites than anything else. So finally it all depends on which search engines the customers use and how that search engine ranks your site.

It is also the Keywords that you have used in developing your website that play an important role - more important than any expensive online or offline advertising you may undertake to promote your website.

It is confirmed by surveys that a when customers want to find a website for information or to buy a product or service, they find their site in one of the following ways:

• The first option is they find their site through a search engine.
• Secondly they find their site by clicking on a link from another website or page that relates to the topic in which they are interested.
• Occasionally, they find a site by hearing about it from a friend or reading in an article.

Therefore it is obvious the the most popular way to find a site, by using a search engine like Google, represents more than 90% of online users. In other words, only about 10% of the people looking for a website will use methods other than search engines.

All search engines employ a ranking algorithm and one of the main rules in a ranking algorithm is to check the location and frequency of keywords on a web page. Don’t forget that algorithms also assess link popularity (number of web pages linking to your site).

Remember that your web pages must be designed to ensure that they can be easily indexed by the search engines and that there are sufficient pages with enough important keywords and phrases (see Keyword Density) to indicate the theme of the website and it's level of importance. The "secret' here is that your site has to have sufficient content to be seen as an authorative site for the subject or product that you wish to provide.

If you are in any doubt about the design of your web pages in your website optimisation endeavours, you should contact a reputable web design business for expert advice.
