3. Spiders visit and read/crawl your site for words ( keywords ) These words are saved ( cached ) so when someone visits their site ( uses a search engine ), the matchmaking to provide the most relevant result based on the search begins. The more information you have that is relevant to what someone is searching for, the more likely you will be to show up atop the engines. Is that all there is? No. But it’s a start.

Editor's Notes
Now that you know the words you want to be found for, which ones are you actually getting traffic – GOOD TRAFFIC from? What data is valuable? How much is enough traffic? Dive into Google Analytics to dig out the meaningful data it provides and what to do with it;
This is where you land when you enter Analytics. You can’t break it so start clicking around. Select your date range – compare to the previous month or the date range of your choice. Look at the progress your site is making based on the metrics provided. KPI
Visitors Where are people coming from? Are they new or have they been there before? Are they on a laptop or a cell phone?
When looking at your keywords, you are likely going to see your brand at the top of the list. If not, then you either havent branded yourself enough within your own site, or you havent branded yourself online at all. Either way, while that is valuable data, you can filter to see which non-branded keywords are driving traffic to your site, and what the quality of the visits are.

It’s more than just the words being used to find you, it’s about the vehicle they are taking to get there. Are there opportunities for you to increase your visbility on a particular site, search engine or referral source that shows a lower volume, but high quality of visitors?
Segway – Top referring sites give you an idea of where you have an inbound link or places that you are receiving traffic now. Why look for new, when you can work to make these better sources of quality traffic. How you might ask….
