Why Is Search Engine Optimisation Important?

Search engines, like Google and Bing, provide users with the most relevant list of websites pertaining to their specific line of enquiry. Search Engine results Pages, or SERP’s, are intelligently ordered, awarding priority to popular online resources that are clearly defined as being applicable.

Popular websites all tend to have a number of things in common:

Searchability - well constructed websites that can be read easily by search engines

Relevance - containing information that meets the search criteria

Content Rich – offers users a good amount of well written copy that provides answers to their queries

Regularly Updated – offers new and informative content that will keep users coming back

Backlinks - popular websites tend to have a lot of other resources linking to them

Search engines are deploying increasingly sophisticated methods for reading a website to ascertain relevance and popularity. Every advance in technology brings with it a new way of interpreting the information provided. We are presently witnessing a shift in emphasis from website metadata to the quality and frequency of delivery of user content and the number and value of backlinks.

Google is responsible for approximately 68% of all web searches. They have achieved this stronghold in online search by providing users with the most useful results available. In order to stay ahead of the game, Google will apply as many as 500 algorithmic changes to their search processes a year. Google’s ability to search and evaluate web content and attribute relevancy is the primary reason for their successes to date.

The vast majority of users click on organically generated listings, preferring to ignore the sponsored links. This is why SEO campaigns are currently considered to be the most important factor in online marketing activities.
