 The
Story of a Search Engine…
A Search Engine is a program that searches for documents based on a specific keyword requested. When a search engine finds a new website it indexes the pages by crawling each of the pages that are linked to each other, its make a copy of it and stores it in its system. Unlike a web directory which are maintained by humans, search engines work with an algorithm or sequence of instructions to return the most relevant result to the user.
Search engines look at website as if they were books. If someone is searching for the keyword “weight loss”, the search engine will look into which website is relevant to that word, how many times that word is used on the site, how many other websites link to it (authority), anchor text linking, and of course the web address itself will have an impact on it.
How to use Title & Meta Tags correctly
The Title & Meta Tags is information that is included inside
the <head> area of your web pages. The Meta Tags are not
seen by human, but are use to give information or instructions
to search engines spiders. I will be discussing the following:
Title, Description and Keywords Meta-Tags.
On this example, let’s say the web site talks about weight
loss, gives tips and advice on how to do this and still enjoy
foods. Your web page content, will have the keyword “weight
loss” position at least 5 times throughout the page, with
plenty of content related to weight loss. Your Title and Meta-Tags
would look like this:
<head>
<title>How to achieve weight loss in 5 easy steps | xyz.com</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”Learn
these 5 easy steps to permanent weight loss without having to
stop eating the foods you love. Lose weight today!”
<meta name=”keywords” content=”lose weight,
weight loss, fat loss”
</head>
For the search engines results on this page will look like this:

Engine List.
