What is SEO (Search Engine Optimization)?
Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving the organic ranking of a website with leading search engines. The two main factors considered by search engines when ranking websites are the placement of keywords in unique content on the site and the number of links to a website. Other important factors include link quality, internal site linking structure and the site's age.

Link Building
Link building is the process of gaining high-quality inbound links pointing to your website. This is an important practice because search engines use link popularity -- the measure of the quality and quantity of links pointing to a site -- as a crucial external factor in ranking. However, not all links are equal. For example, to indentify quality links and determine an individual page's value, Google uses an algorithm called PageRank. Along with analyzing the number of links to a website, PageRank also considers the quality of the page that links to a website.

Some effective link building strategies include article writing and submissions, blog writing, social bookmarking, social media profile creations, and link baiting.
