Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing

Search engine optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks," the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

Search Engines uses automated software to review sites and evaluate your web site.
A web site cannot be ranked or evaluated based on visual elements: graphics, animation or flash.

Where as the right Links, both from other sites linked to you and you linked to other sites will increase your ranking, but the wrong links can hurt you.
