Riassunto

You have a cool Web site, and a really great product, service, or cause you want people to know about. But visitors aren’t beating down your cyber-door. What happened? The answer, most likely, is that you haven’t made your site irresistible to search engines.

Search engines have a great deal of control over the volume of traffic a Web site gets, because they put your site in front of people searching for your product or service. If you know the secrets of wooing the search engines, you can

• Gain greater visibility for your site
• Advance your position in the rankings
• Avoid techniques that cause search engines to bump your site to the end of the list
• Make pay-per-click advertising pay off

In addition to the familiar ones like Google and Yahoo!, there are dozens of other search engines out there. Search Engine Optimization For Dummies, 2 Edition shows you how to create a site that will pop to the top like a cork whenever people search for related products or services. It will help you

• Become familiar with search engines and search directories and find out which keywords work
• Build your site with techniques that search engines like and avoid the ones they don’t
• Register your site with the top search systems and get it listed in directories
• Find out why links are important and see how to get other sites to link to yours
• Work with Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search, and explore the best and most economical ways to use pay-per-click advertising
