Abstract

With the growth of the Internet in the recent years, search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo are becoming more and more crucial and reliable. The role of search engines is to index billions of web pages and display only the most relevant results for a given search query. When creating the website, many webmasters forget to take into consideration an essential factor, which is making the world aware of their website. Most of the times the main focus is set on making the website as user-friendly as possible, stable, fast, and secure. However, all of these techniques can be useless if the website does not have any visitor or people just cannot find it. To solve this problem, and to enhance the structure of the website to become more search-engine-friendly, a web application is developed to analyze any given webpage and to provide information on how to enhance and improve its structure to make it more search-engine-friendly and to improve its ranking on search engines. This process is also known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

... As a consequence, search engines assist users in locating the most relevant web pages worth visiting by showing the resulting pages in a ranked order determined by various page rank algorithms [8,10]. The traditional search engine technology may be generally categorized into two types [11]: human-powered directorybased engines and crawler-based engines. The humanspowered directory, such as the Open Directory, relies on humans to maintain its lists. ...
... Whenever a query is executed, it is first classified, and then the suitable directory is searched for the relevant web page. They are created when a website's owner sends the site for the reviewing along with a brief description of the website [11]. Generally, a search is limited to matches within the submitted descriptors. ...

Due to the daily expansion of the web, the amount of information has increased significantly. Thus, the need for retrieving relevant information has also increased. In order to explore the internet, users depend on various search engines. Search engines face a significant challenge in returning the most relevant results for a user's query. The search engine's performance is determined by the algorithm used to rank web pages, which prioritizes the pages with the most relevancy to appear at the top of the result page. In this paper, various web page ranking algorithms such as Page Rank, Time Rank, EigenRumor, Distance Rank, SimRank, etc. are analyzed and compared based on some parameters, including the mining technique to which the algorithm belongs (for instance, Web Content Mining, Web Structure Mining, and Web Usage Mining), the methodology used for ranking web pages, time complexity (amount of time to run an algorithm), input parameters (parameters utilized in the ranking process such as InLink, OutLink, Tag name, Keyword, etc.), and the result relevancy to the user query.
... The goal is to give recommendations on how to improve websites and documents through SEO techniques. For instance, [3] and [17] developed tools that recommend SEO measures based on analysis of a given website. ...
... As the studies use different sets of indicators, it is hardly possible to compare the results. Correlations between indicators and search engine rankings are found [3,8,11,14,17,51,57,65], but it remains unclear which factors actually explain the rankings. Some promising factors, predominantly ones that form the basics of the professional SEO literature, are found. ...
... It is due to the quantity and, especially, the quality of results. Search engines were projected for general use, i.e., they have "to index billions of web pages and display only the most relevant results for a given search query" [7]. Many web applications do not use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques to improve their ranking on search engines. ...

Educational Robotics has emerged as a multidisciplinary field integrating Information and Communication Technologies, Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence areas in education. Furthermore, Educational Robotics offers an innovative approach to teaching and learning by incorporating the construction and programming of robots. However, the small number of platforms for sharing Educational Robotics Learning Objects with a large amount of well-described metadata poses a challenge for efficient search and retrieval of relevant educational content. This study presents an architecture for data processing and ingestion in the RepositORE system, a Learning Objects Repository for Educational Robotics that stores educational content and associated metadata based on the Dublin Core standard. Based on microservices architecture, the proposed system aims to facilitate the location and reuse of learning objects by adapting the RepositORE system to work as a client service. The theoretical framework explores the concepts of learning objects, repositories, and the significance of Educational Robotics in education, and reviews related works. The proposed architecture and system can potentially enhance the accessibility and discoverability of Educational Robotics Learning Objects, fostering effective teaching and learning experiences.

Due to extensive use of the Internet, the WEB holds an immeasurable amount of data, and Search Engines (SE) are essential tools for finding, sorting, and ranking the value of that data on the web. The potential of SEs is very significant because a major portion of web traffic is driven by SEs, such as Google, Bing, Baidu, Yahoo, etc., and their results routes end-users to specific websites. Due to the vital role of SEs, search results are becoming decisive for the website owners to compete with their rivals. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a key process for getting better online visibility on search results from search engines. The objective of this study is to technically justify the importance of search engines and SEO. More specifically, the main emphasis is to quantify the importance of bounce rate and load time of retaining users on the website.

A search engine is a complex software in that a finder visits numerous websites and their pages to find essential data. It is the primary source to find content on the World Wide Web. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) methods have been invented to make user searching smoother. Although search engines are intelligent, sometimes they also provide irrelevant data. As a result, researchers have found a solution to this problem by implementing SEO techniques. SEO techniques make websites more visible and produce organic search results. Thus, this study proposed the implementation of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for SEO problems on online shopping websites and educational websites. These algorithms are evaluated based on retrieval time and precise data entry by using precision and recall. Moreover, PageSpeed Insights is used to check the speed index of the websites. The research outcome found that PSO outperformed ANN for both shopping and educational websites. PSO has a minimal retrieval time, which is 0.04 seconds for an online shopping website and 0.10 seconds for an educational website. As for precision and recall, online shopping websites have been proven to have the highest precision score of 0.67 and 0.63 recall score. The simulation analysis results show thatfuture researchers should concentrate more on determining the significance of each SEO approach and the best blend for various sectors.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa website SCLEAN berada pada halaman pertama di mesin pencari Google sehingga pengunjung naik sebesar 90,2%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang didapatkan, disimpulkan bahwa pada saat pengoptimalan meta tag memerlukan waktu untuk dapat di-indexing oleh Google selama satu minggu tetapi pada pergantian meta tag selanjutnya memerlukan waktu dua sampai tiga hari, sedangkan untuk meta description memerlukan waktu selama tiga hari untuk di-index oleh Google dan memerlukan Google Search Console untuk menguji coba. Sehingga yang paling berdampak pada website SCLEAN adalah pada saat pengoptimalan meta tag dan meta description karena pada saat Google telah selesai indexing maka saat itu juga pencarian website awalnya berada pada halaman ketiga naik terus-menerus sampai mencapai halaman pertama.
... Given the enormous amount of money invested in search engine optimization and its huge potential to influence knowledge acquisition through search engines, it is surprising that little research has been conducted on the effects of SEO. The literature primarily focuses on practical strategies for optimizing websites (e.g., Enge et al., 2015;Moran & Hunt, 2015;Thurow, 2007) and attempts to identify ranking factors used by commercial search engines and exploit this knowledge to boost rankings (Barbar & Ismail, 2019;Drivas et al., 2020;Evans, 2007;Giomelakis & Veglis, 2016;Hoyos et al., 2019;Su et al., 2014;Umenhofer, 2019;Ziakis et al., 2019). Also, some research has investigated the role of SEO professionals (Schultheiß & Lewandowski, 2020;Ziewitz, 2019;Zuze & Weideman, 2013) and SEO in professional contexts such as news production (Giomelakis et al., 2019). ...

This research focuses on what users know about search engine optimization (SEO) and how well they can identify results that have potentially been influenced by SEO. We conducted an online survey with a sample representative of the German online population (N = 2,012). We found that 43% of users assume a better ranking can be achieved without paying money to Google. This is in stark contrast to the possibility of influence through paid advertisements, which 79% of internet users are aware of. However, only 29.2% know how ads differ from organic results. The term "search engine optimization" is known to 8.9% of users but 14.5% can correctly name at least one SEO tactic. Success in labelling results that can be influenced through SEO varies by search engine result page (SERP) complexity and devices: participants achieved higher success rates on SERPs with simple structures than on the more complex SERPs. SEO results were identified better on the small screen than on the large screen. 59.2% assumed that SEO has a (very) strong impact on rankings. SEO is more often perceived as positive (75.2%) than negative (68.4%). The insights from this study have implications for search engine providers, regulators, and information literacy.

Chapter
This chapter discusses how an organization can get its website, blog, or other social media pages higher on the (natural or organic) results page of search engines. This topic is highly relevant as Internet users are more likely to visit search results that are at the top of a results page. In order to decide which web pages appear higher on a results page, search engines typically evaluate which web pages are more relevant after applying an indexation mechanism. Such an indexation mechanism will rank web pages by means of so-called spiders. In response, web page owners can try to obtain higher ranks in search engines by applying search engine optimization (SEO) for internal improvements (e.g., on-page or on-site) and external improvements (e.g., link related). Alternatively, the importance of user experience optimization is increasing. This chapter offers the reader some tips and tricks to apply SEO and to evaluate which websites, blogs, or social media pages are more SEO friendly than others are.KeywordsSearch engine marketing (SEM)e-MarketingInternet marketingSearch engine optimization (SEO)Search engine results page (SERP)Organic search resultsSpiderPenaltyWhite hatBlack hatOn-pageOff-pageOn-siteLink buildingNofollowPogo sticking

Social media can be perceived as being a predominantly visual platform (as we will explore in ► Chaps. 15 and 16), due to the high levels of engagement that images and video can generate across channels (Brubaker & Wilson, 2018; Marshall, 2018). Yet, underestimating the power and necessity of well-written copy can be an error made to the detriment of a social media strategy. Generally, audiences consume text online in snack-sized portions reading an average of 28 words per website visit (Weinreich, Obendorf, Herder, & Mayer, 2008). Therefore, the written word can play a considerable role in cutting through the wide range of content a target audience scrolls past on a daily basis in social media’s attention economy (Quesenberry, 2018).

Search engines enable merchants to associate on-line ads with relevant keywords (for instance, through [Adwords].) Both merchants and search engines benefit economically from the merchants having as many appropriate keywords as possible. The space of keywords is large - it is useful to algorithmically generate keywords for merchants. Information about keywords is scarce, but it is known which merchants are bidding on which keywords. This paper describes WordRank, a method for using the bid landscape to infer a metric for keyword/merchant relevance, loosely based on the PageRank[Brin 98] algorithm.
