How Do Search Engines Work?
 Spider crawls the web to find new documents (web pages, other documents)
typically by following hyperlinks from websites already in their database
 Search engines indexes the content (text, code) in these documents by adding it to
their databases and then periodically updates this content
 Search engines search their own databases when a user enters in a search to find
related documents (not searching web pages in real-time)
 Search engines rank the resulting documents using an algorithm (mathematical
formula) by assigning various weights and ranking factors

 Search Engine Marketing, or SEM, is a type of
internet marketing that aims at increasing a
websites prominence in search engine result pages
in order to gain increased traffic for the site. The
gain in traffic is supposed to translate into
additional sales.
 Search engine marketing falls into two broad
categories.
 SEO or search engine optimization
 Paid search advertising
 In both search engine optimization (SEO) and search
engine marketing (SEM), keyword analysis and
selection play a crucial role. In SEM, however, once the
right key phrases are identified, webmasters generally
avail of paid advertising in the form of PPC.
 PPC, or Pay Per Click, are text-only ads based on the
key phrases the webmaster wishes to appear in his ads.
He writes the copy and determines how much he is
willing to pay in order for his ad to appear.
