It is the process of increasing its visibility in the search engines and hence attract more visitors that are qualified to your website. Google is the number one search engine. For this reason most SEO focus their attentions on Google and rightfully so. While Google is constantly changing its search algorithms, a core pillar of Google’s search engine has also been PageRank, a measure of pages link popularity. Link popularity refers to the number and value of links that point to a particular page. Generally speaking the links pointing to a particular page the more "popular" it is. The value of links matter to. Links from more popular sites are scored higher. The Google search engine also powers the search results for a number of other websites such as AOL. AT&T WorldNet, ASK JEEVES, EARTHLINK and others. The search results on these will be similar if not identical as it is on Google.
