What is SEO?

[lathesira]

SEO (search engine optimization) is the science of adjusting, developing and tuning the content and code of a website and promoting that website on other sites throughout the web in ways that increase the chances of one or more of the pages of the website appearing in the search engine results pages (SERPS) in response to a user typing words known as keywords into the search box of their search engine (e.g. Google, Bing or Yahoo).

The expressions keyword, key phrase, search term and search query all refer to the particular words that might be entered by a user (surfer) into their search engine. A relatively small change in the keyword entered can sometimes lead to a completely different set of websites appearing.
