An introduction :

For any company to build its brand and make its presence felt in the corporate world, its visibility is extremely crucial. This is primarily the reason why companies begin to create their online extension by making result-oriented websites. The whole purpose is to reach out to the target audience that can help you generate sales or leads and thereby contribute to achieving the desired outcome.

Once you make your website, how do you make sure that it is enjoying the necessary traffic? After all, if there is not enough traffic to your site, there would not be enough conversions, and the resultant ROI will also not be a desirable one. Nowadays, in order to witness high traffic on their site, almost everyone chooses to make their site visible on the popular search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN and many others… And the process of making the site get a high ranking is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

What is SEO ?

SEO is defined as the process of optimizing a website in order to help it achieve a high ranking or page result on various search engines. This optimization involves the consideration of a number of parameters like the basic site design, Meta tags, One-way links, keyword rich content and other tools. With the help of the various SEO tools like these, the site undergoing optimization is propelled to a higher position on the search engines’ result page. Everything from the site design to the content and links placed in it plays a vital role in the overall optimization of the site. Thus, SEO is nothing but the art of building a website and its content keeping the search engine perspective in mind.

The results obtained through SEO are referred to as organic or free results, because, unlike Pay per Click Advertising, one does not need to pay the search engine when a user clicks on the website link.

When you have a site designed and developed in an appropriate way, SEO can have a drastic improvement in ROI, and this is why almost all companies today opt for SEO activities for their websites.

Most popular search engines for SEO :

SEO is one of the most popular forms of marketing over the Internet, and is thus carried out extensively across all big search engines by companies that wish to make their online presence felt among their target audience. The most popular search engines for SEO are Google, Yahoo! and MSN, followed by others like AltaVista, AOL, Ask, Lycos, 7Search, Miva etc.

Given below are the preference statistics of searchers on various search engines: [we need to quote the source of this data]

  • 72% of Google users prefer organic (free) results over paid results.
  • 60% of searchers on Yahoo! opt for SEO results.
  • 71% of MSN users prefer paid results.
  • 50% of users of AOL choose the option of organic results while the remaining 50% choose paid search results.

Thus, companies need to optimize their site in order to get a high ranking on search engines based on their requirements and other parameters that the search engines consider while crawling the web…

All search engines have spiders that crawl the web to find new information. Based on the algorithms, the search engines rank the site. Although the procedure carried out by the search engines is the same, the factors based on which they rank the websites varies.

Given below is a vivid description of the search engines optimization activities on the three most popular search engines, namely Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

Google

Google is the biggest and most popular search engine across the globe. It has affiliations with humungous networks, directories and other search engines. With a global reach of 72%, it is inevitable that the competition among various companies to acquire a high ranking on the Google search result page is tremendous.

The features that are unique to Google when it comes to organic search result rankings are as follows:

  • Page Rank : Google is known for providing a Page Rank (PR). This is a feature that is specific only to Google, as no other search engine provides a page rank to the sites. Higher the page rank, better would be the position of the site on the Google result page.

  • Age : It would not be wrong to say that Google is partial towards older sites. New sites get indexed slower on Google than on Yahoo! or MSN. It can thus be said that older the domain name, the better it helps in ranking.

  • Incoming links: Like the age factor, Google also gives a lot of importance to the incoming links. More the number of one-way links, better are the chances of a high ranking on Google.

Google crawlers also keep in mind the site structure and the keyword density in the content of the website. However, the weightage laid by Google to the various parameters is different from that laid by the other search engines.

Yahoo!

Yahoo! is the second largest of the three major search engines. I t includes a huge network of websites. The algorithm used by Yahoo! is based on Inktomi. Yahoo! reaches 70% of users in the US. Therefore, many companies wish that their site be listed at a high position on Yahoo!.

All search engines have their set of parameters based on which they rank websites. The parameters that Yahoo! considers are:
Keyword density (repetition of keywords): While it is essential to make sure that the keyword / keyphrase appears a considerable number of times, care needs to be taken to see that the number is not so high that the site gets discarded as spam.

  • Structure of the site - Yahoo! takes site structure more seriously than any other search engine.

  • Backlinks - Depending on the quality and position of the backlink, the site gets a better and higher ranking.

  • Age factor - An older site undergoes heavy crawling. However, Yahoo! supports new sites too, and indexes the sites regularly, so that the ranking of relatively new sites also sees improvement.

In addition, it is necessary to mention here that Yahoo! ranks Meta tags and content quality very highly.

MSN

It is relatively easier to attain results on MSN as compared to Google or Yahoo! Especially if your site is in the initial stages of link building or is a completely new site, it is likely that your site will not be indexed highly on Yahoo! and may remain in the sandbox of Google. In MSN, you can expect a decent ranking for your site.

According to a ComScore media report, MSN users are 48% more likely to purchase a product or service online than any other user on the Internet.

The parameters that MSN considers while ranking the site are as follows :

  • MSN focuses more on on-page SEO
  • It gives importance to keyword rich content
  • MSN values the presence of keywords in the site URLs
  • Sites that carry links of high ranking sites and links with good anchor text stand a high chance of a good ranking on MSN
  • MSN considers the use of titles, heading tags and any other special formats adopted by the site
  • The number of pages in your site and the overall relevance it has to the keywords and the main topic is also considered by MSN

These are the factors considered by MSN while crawling the website. Since the algorithms are set mathematical rules, the desired result can be obtained hassle free if the right approach is resorted to, for a high ranking not only on MSN but also the other search engines.
