SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has become the driving force behind successful web-based companies. The process, which involves techniques designed to increase the visibility of a website, has proven successful when implemented properly. Of critical importance to the process is Content Management Web Design.

The impact of Content Management and Web Design is dramatic. Consider the algorithms used by major search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. An integral part of these formulas is keyword recognition. In practical terms, search engine bots, the agents that visit and review websites, search for keyword throughout the content contained on a website. Keywords can be thought of as the words and phrases that web surfers input into search engines in order to find a website that is compatible with their interest or immediate needs. The best CMS for a small business are WordPress and Joomla. Ecommerce systems can also serve as CMS. Therefore, it’s essential to make sure that the CMS is well-designed, up-to-date (Web 2.0 design) and optimized.
Search engines have evolved and can now effectively determine if keywords are used in a natural way or simply ‘stuffed’ into a particular website. This concept, known as word stuffing, is considered unethical by the major search engines and website that utilize this tactic, or other unethical means, are typically banned. It follows then that appropriate content is more than a list of search terms. Content Management Web Design allows online entrepreneurs to create effective content, functionality and graphics which is attractive to the human eye.
To summarize:
1. Search engines regularly review websites to update their index ranking
