SEO means search engine optimization. But actually, for what?
Here are the market shares of the major search engines:
First Google> 85%
Second Yahoo ~ 3%
Third MSN ~ 2.5%
4th T-Online ~ 2%
5th AOL ~ 1.5%
(4 +5 place their data sourced from Google, whose market share thus amounts to about 90%!)
You see, basically it is currently only on a search engine, namely Google! You can find more tips on Google search engine.
Forget search engines record software that allows you to submit your website to 10,000 search engines. 99.9% of them are virtually meaningless, a search engine listing is therefore a waste of time.
In fact, the search engine submission of your site is not really necessary. If your site is linked at least once somewhere, they will sooner or later show up all by itself in the search engine index, without any search engine submission. Because a search engine bot automatically follows all links that it finds. A Search Engine Submission hurts nothing, but is basically a waste of time. Much more important is the entry in directories.
Be careful how many result Hits Report the major search engines for relevant keywords. The more there are, the harder it is to achieve a good ranking (in the top 5 or 10 hits). Here is a very rough estimate:
to 50,000 hits: relatively easy, even without special optimization
50,000 to 500,000 hits: more difficult, but with the appropriate know-how, no problem
500.000 - 5 million hits: hard work, long-term quite possible
more than 5 million hits: hard to predict, with know-how, patience, lots of patience and a little luck in individual cases
Of course, other factors also play a role:
How relevant is your website for this issue?
How often it is linked from other websites?
Are also optimized competitor sites?
What are topic relevance and link popularity of the competition?
