What are Search Engines and What are they searching for?
The Technology and ideology that drives search engine development is very simple.
- Provide the most accurate and up to date information possible based on the search criteria entered by the user
As a web site designer you can not know what a user of a search engine will enter in their search box and as such it is difficult to have information that will be found. Many search engine spiders (the robots that search the web to build the search engines database of search sites) place less emphasis on the META keywords and description than they used to. Some do not even display the site META description in its hits heading, instead taking a few words before and after the search match words.
The best way to get a high placement in a search engine is to write good site content, covering the subject in depth, and provide links out of your site to other relevant sites that cover the same subject.
