...Search Engine Industry History of search engine The need for search services grew with the expanding reach and magnitude of the World Wide Web. One of the earliest search services, Yahoo!, was a directory of sites selected and organized into categories by human editors. The Web soon grew too large for directory-based search. AltaVista invented technology that automated search, relying on software “spiders” that created a searchable index of page contents and on algorithms that ranked page relevance based on the frequency of keyword references. Yahoo! added AltaVista’s algorithmic search engine, but in 1998 replaced AltaVista with Inktomi, which used parallel-processing networks to offer faster processing and a larger index. As website developers exploited search algorithms by repeating keywords on their pages, searches increasingly returned irrelevant listings—”spam”—that frustrated users. In 1998, Sergey Brin and Larry Page tackled this problem as graduate students at Stanford. Their PageRank algorithm reliably delivered more relevant searches by favoring pages that were referenced—”linked to”—by other pages. These links were called “votes,” because they signaled that another page’s webmaster had decided that the focal page deserved attention. The focal page’s importance was determined by counting the number of votes it received, weighting votes more heavily when they were cast by pages that Google had previously deemed to be important. This approach required PageRank to...

...Management & EBusiness Search engine optimization 4/21/2012 Apr.21 SEO Search engine optimization (SEO) Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines' "natural," or un‐paid ("organic" or "algorithmic"), search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry‐specific vertical search engines. As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of back links, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic. The acronym "SEOs" can refer to "search engine optimizers," a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in‐house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand‐alone service or as a part of a ...

Because of the millions of files and documents available on the World Wide Web, programs have been developed to help users in their search for documents on the internet (Rohan, 2014).

After conducting a search, the engine displays websites that contain documents marching the keywords typed by the user with the most relevant at the top.

This technique assists search engines to identify and rank higher particular websites than numerous others in response to a search query.

...Searching for a search engine Why is achieving a significant level of brand familiarity especially important for Google’s competitors? Google dominates the global search market –controlling more than 80% of it – therefore is important for its competitors to focus on their costumers and their needs. Since Google is worldwide known and people are ‘googling’ all the time, it is important for competitors such as Bing, Baidu and Yandex to offer specialized services and to raise awareness of its current clients to increase their brand familiarity and, as a consequence, loyalty. As more people know and, more importantly, have a good experience with these kind of search engines, the more they are likely to grow and become more appealing to people. Even though it is very difficult to compete with Google due to its intense presence, the companies that own this type of search engines need to realize that they have a market niche to explorer which can also be an advantage in the sense that they can place them better to compete with Google and people that are interested in very specific information can become their customers. What are the search sites doing to increase consumers’ motivation, ability, and opportunity to process external information? Before increasing consumer’s motivation, ability and opportunity, the search sites need to increase the customers’ awareness towards its products and they can achieve it by, for example, introducing advertisement in websites...

...Search engine optimization, also known as SEO, is about making one’s business instantly viewable when searched online in an engine such as Google. The more that a website is shopped on or clicked on by consumers, the higher up it is in the search results. This can also be based on relevance, of course, so using keywords and phrases is important for site owners when first establishing their website. SEO is basically a way of providing organic results in search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing, to allow consumers to the seemingly best result (“What is SEO/Search Engine Optimization?”). Social media has become a huge part of society in recent years, even though one of the first social media sites was created in 1997, called Six Degrees (“The History of Social Media”). Since then, it has evolved, but it still remains as a way for users to share, view, and connect via online. Top social media sites at the moment include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. All are similar platforms, allowing users to create content, whether that be a picture, video, their thoughts or opinions, or simply a response to someone else’s content. Facebook is status (post about thoughts), picture, and message based, Twitter is status based with a lot of sharing of ideas, Instagram is photo based, and YouTube is video based (“The History of Social Media).
