History of SEO
Search engine optimisation originated in the late 90's when companies were starting to realise the commercial potential of the Internet. Often SEO was undertaken by webmasters as part of their everyday roles. However, as the discipline has become more specialised and competitive, SEO has become a job for an expert.

SEO is a relatively new discipline that has evolved from a simple process of changing headings and keywords in order to increase a site’s visibility on the web into a specialist service that encompasses a growing list of factors. The growth in complexity has been driven by changes to search engines which are designed to filter out the ever-expanding amount of irrelevant pages on the Internet (quite often automatically generated).

There are many questionable companies who claim to provide a cheap SEO solution with suggestions of special relationships or very rapid results. To dissuade people from using such unethical companies or techniques the search engines specifically state that user experience, links and relevant information are the major factors they use when ranking sites - and that there are no shortcuts.

The use of outdated or unethical techniques may help in the very short-term but are very likely to result in either a complete ban from listings or a penalty being placed on the website for an indefinite period by the search engines.

The preferred choice of many companies is to outsource SEO work to ethical specialists who drive large amounts of visitors to sites and avoid site penalties. When you consider that it can take years to fully understand SEO, and constant study is required, it's not surprising that you’ll want to work with an SEO specialist like Rating Room.
