There are uncountable websites on the Internet ranking for specific keywords. These websites rank for those keywords through SEO or search engine optimization. Manually searching SERPfor every keyword is a very time consuming and an ineffective method. How do search engine optimizers around the world keep track of these websites with respect to the relevant keywords?
What is SERP?
SERP stands for search engine ranking position. It simply means the position of your website in Google for relevant terms (keywords). Before understanding what SERP is, first you must know how to do a Google search. It is the most primitive thing you do on the Internet other than checking your daily dose of e-mail. Usually when we need to find information over the Internet we do a Google search. You can do this by visiting the search engine website (Google.com) and entering the keyword or phrase to the field then hitting enter key. Then you will be taken in to a results page. The default Google result page consists of 10 results per page up to 100 pages with results. All the results may relate to the key term/phrase you are searching for. Websites with high page and link authority will show up in the 1st page within first 10 results while others may show up in following pages. Google decides the importance of a page and categorize them in an order that will benefit the Googler. Google is someone who uses the Google search to find information on World Wide Web. Google makes sure that spam content will not be ranked with their algorithm updates that shows up time to time. Keeping up with this competition is the biggest challenge faced by search engine optimizers.
