Organic Search

Article Overview: What natural or "organic" search results are and why they are so important in search engine optimization.

Organic Search

In the world of search engine optimization there are two types of results on a search page; natural search results and advertisements. Most of the time users have ad blinders on and do not even notice what the ads say. Also it’s expensive, so it is not the best bang for your buck. These kinds of ads are known as PPC or Pay-Per-Click. Each search term costs a different amount anywhere from 5 cents to a dollar or more per click. Now imagine there are hundreds or thousands of clicks; it starts to add up.



Natural or “organic” search results are highly favored by users. 80-90% of the clicks come from the first three search results. So if you can rank inn one of those top spots you’re going to bring a huge amount of traffic. The search engines want the best search results for their users. They decide on which websites are going to appear for any given search term based on several factors primarily authority and popularity. If you can make your website popular and give it authority it’s going to rank well for your search term. That’s what Utah search engine optimization is all about.



In order to achieve successful organic rankings you need to do several things. In order to give your website authority you need to get links from other authoritative sites that are related to your field. Another way to gain authority is to create respected, educational and most of all free content. By creating high quality original content you will set yourself apart from the imitators, spammers and the low grade website which will in turn boost your rankings.



You also need to build your popularity. You can build your popularity in several different ways. One way is through your content. All users want to know when they visit your website “what’s in it for me?”. If you give away useful, quality content it will give users a reason to visit your site. Another way is to use social websites such as Myspace or Facebook. Through this method you will gain attention your website would not normally receive. It also gives search engines the impression that people are genuinely interested in your website. The best way to market your business on the internet is to use Utah search engine optimization to achieve good organic search results.
