What is SEO?
SEO means Search Engine Optimization, it is an art and science to make your site according to the standards which are acceptable for search engine like Google. Search engines like Google have their own algorithms and standards and those websites who follow those standards become successful and stay on first page of search results.

Real world SEO example
Lets suppose your website is about selling used mobile phones in London, so do you think your site must appear when someone search about used mobile phones? Your answer must be Yes, but actually No! It will not appear even in first six or seven pages because there will be many sites in the world about selling used mobile phones. So what should we do now? We should follow these steps which are mention below:

Keyword selection
A site which is about selling used mobile phones in London should mention in its title tag that "Buy/Sell used Mobile phones in London" this is how search engine spider could know that what your website is about and it will show your site when some one is looking for any London based website about used cell phones.

Title and other Meta tags
Title tags are important and they should exactly be what your site is about, then description also plays important role and it should be almost 160 words and fully descriptive but concise. Then Meta keywords should also be according to the theme of your website.
Search Engine and Directory SubmissionYou should submit your website to search engines and directories and most importantly you should try to get incoming links from websites which have same theme like yours.

In the end I must say that SEO is not a one day game, it takes time and it also depends upon your luck.
