Search Engine Optimization is not only a buzzword; it has become one of the most critical aspects of having a web presence. Going live with a beautiful, well-crafted website is just the start. It is like opening a brand-new business in an obscure part of town. If you manage to stay open while the word spreads of your fantastic venture, then you eventually would be successful.

Types of SEO
There are two kinds of search engine optimization. The first one, which is the one that Google basis much of their business on is called Ad Words. The second one would be organic SEO.
Ad Word consists of allocating a monthly budget to your Google Ad Words account that will place a link to your site at the very top of Google search results. It is essential to consider the keywords that your potential clients might use to search for your type of business. Several parameters can be configured to help optimize your campaign. For a local business, you can target zip codes near your location.
The way Google Adwords works is that you set up a monthly budget for the system, which comes out of your credit card every month. The cost per click by site visitors can vary depending on industry and season, but it will help ensure you are at the top of the search results. Once you have exhausted your budget, you can either add more money to the budget or wait until the next month for the budget to start over.
Organic SEO is a bit different. The content of your site dictates it. Google search algorithm is at the heart of organic search results. It indexes the content of your website. Analyzing not only the content itself but the time it was written and how relevant it is to the search. Therefore it is always important to keep fresh new quality content on your site. Organic SEO takes more time to get results because it is driven by how many people visit your website. It is recommended to supplement any organic SEO incentive with other collateral marketing materials. Ad Words is a good place to jump-start a campaign.
