Improve Your Search Engine Rankings Equals Free Traffic

Before anything, let's just clear up what's meant by a search engine ranking? When an individual uses a search service like Google, Yahoo, MSN or many of the numerous smaller search services, they type in a question, or a request for information - this is called a 'search query'. When they enter that 'query' they are then presented by a whole list of results that search service has decided in their mysterious way are relevant search results to the query you want information on. This list of search results is often termed Organic Search Results. These are different to the Sponsored Search Results that often appear down the right hand margin of the search results page, and sometimes can appear at the top of the page shaded in a slightly different background colour.

Apple’s Safari browser has 6-7% market share, and currently uses Google as the search engine for both the standard and iPhone/iPod versions (unlike other browsers, you don’t have a choice)... Also, Apple can’t be super pleased with Google’s competition to the iPhone with Android... But one important fact that isn’t checking out - if Apple were building a search engine, they’d be hiring search experts and engineers. We’ve talked to a ton of them at all the big companies, and while some of them heard the same rumors, none have lost search employees to Apple, or heard of any specific hirings.
