SEO SERPs
SEO SERPs is an anagram used by people involved with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
SERPs stands for Search engine results pages.
These are the pages displayed by a search engine after you have typed in a term to search for and clicked search, as a Google result page is shown below.
search engine result page
When people are talking about a results page they are normally refering to Google, as it is the most used search engine.
SERPs are important to those involved in SEO because it tells us who ranks highest for what terms, what adverts are running (displayed on the right) and allows us to view competitors or opporunities within a search term.
how many pages for key phrase
In the image above we can see a SERP. In the top right of this image is how many resulting pages there are for the search term entered. This is a good way for someone looking to start a site to see how much competition they will be up against. They can then other details about the sites listed on the front page for factors such as PageRank, number of back links etc.
Getting to the front page of the SERP’s is every Search Engine Optimizers goal, and getting to number one their dream. This is why the SERP’s are so important to SEOs, forgive my use of anagrams here but they save a lot of time!
For checking where a website ranks for a given key phrase within the search engine results it is often best to use a tool, such as this one for google. (Please note this will not display any positions sometimes, AKA it brakes for a while)
Any thoughts on this please comment. Thanks.
