Search engine optimization
What is SEO?
SEO is the act of modifying a website to increase its ranking in organic (vs paid), crawler-based listings of search engines
How do organic search listings work?
• A spider or crawler which is a component of a SE gathers listings by automatically "crawling" the web
• The spider follows links to web pages, makes copies of the pages and stores them in the SE’s index
• Based on this data, the SE then indexes the pages and ranks the websites
“Spiders used to read only text, but now images!”
