Still users using search engines as compared to social media sites are more in number. So, this makes SEO an integral part of your business. Now, how these latest techniques actually work? Let’s understand here:

Working of Search Engines

Search engines are the pillars on which the world of internet stands. Some people are aware about their working methods while some are not. Before some years, SEO was just considered a child’s play and it was very simple thing.

SEO was known as a process of identifying new keywords and then creating links based on those words. This was the perception of a common man and due to this spam links increased. As a result the quality of search results started reducing.

Process of How Google Works
Now as time passed, Google started updating its search algorithms and removed all the unethical practices that usually people follow to get noticed. Websites that use shady methods were severely penalized by search engines. Here, we have mentioned some important links that previously people used to increase search engine rankings but now they are not adopted.

  • Developing links via link farms
  • Developing links via content farms
  • Including maximum keywords in articles and web pages
  • Developing more number of links within less span of time.
  • Focusing mainly on article marketing and avoiding other techniques.
