It is obvious for a web surfer to use a search engine to search for different things of interest. The subject of search could be anything from general information, a particular product, brand or service. A search engine, through its unique algorithm, scans the web and exhibits the search results on its page. It’s human instinct to give preference to those things, which are more conspicuous.

Based on this natural and scientifically proven fact, it can be anticipated that a person looking for a product or service on internet, would click upon the search results listed first and if he doesn’t get a logical or relevant information with those results, he would further move down the list. Now, there are several ways through which a product or a service can be promoted higher in the search result page, generated by a search engine. These are Search Engine Optimization (SEO), paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion. PPP or Pay Per Click is popular name for paid placement, contextual advertising includes promotion of products by putting advertising on websites or other media like cell phones, black berries etc., paid inclusion is a short cut to get a website listed on the search engine by paying fee to the search engines, and SEO corresponds to using different means to promote a website higher in the ranking of search engine. SEO Optimization Services are now rendered by many market promotion companies, in addition to the other regular services such as link building, blog marketing, sales leads, customer databases and PR services.
