How to Increase Your Position In Google And Search Engines
Getting listed in the likes of Google and other popular search engines is one of the key factors and most effective ways of getting free, targeted traffic to your website.
Although it is very hard to determine exactly what the search engines are looking for in a website to get it listed high in Google. I’ve listed below the main common things that search engines are looking for in a good website.
These will greatly help you in optimizing your web pages for higher ranking in Google and other such search engines. This is also called SEO or search engine optimization.
How Search Engines like Google Determine Your Rank in their results
Before you jump in and add your site to the search engines, you should understand what exactly they are looking for when they decide on how to rank your site in their search results. Now a good thing to note is that just because you're listed it doesn't mean you'll get traffic. You also have to make sure that your website is search engine ready.
The general rule is that most engines including Google use a "formula" to determine “keyword” relevance. The official technical term is called an "algorithm", and all the major search engines have their very own unique algorithm that they use to rank pages.
Generally, the “magic formula” will consist of your page title, overall body content and the number and quality of links pointing back to your site, how long people stay on your site, etc.
It's very important to note that every search engine is different. Some may look at inbound links (number of different people linking to you), others may place more emphasis on your body content.
You also need to know about Meta tags. These are hidden descriptors that appear at the beginning of your HTML code, inside your <head> tag. They may be invisible to your visitor's eyes, but search engine spiders or bots can read them. They usually consist of a title, description, and keyword tags.
