        Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via organic or algorithmic search results. As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for.<br>
        <br>
        Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.<br>
        <br>
        A professional organisation would typically deploy the following tools for implementing SEO:
        <ul>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Rank Check Tool</strong>: Checks the ranking of your website/webpage across popular search engines</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Web CEO</strong>:  Gets the list of key words and key phrases that will bring most targeted visitors to your site and measures the effectiveness of the website</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Google Webmaster</strong>:  The tool answers all crawling and indexing questions that enhance and increase traffic to the site, and connect you with your visitors</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Google Analytics</strong>: Helps to gain rich insights into website traffic with Advanced Segmentation, Custom Reporting, Motion Charts, and more</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Link Popularity</strong>:  Checks the link popularity status of the web site on search engines and compares it to other web sites on the Internet</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Text Analyzer</strong>:  Provides information on the readability and complexity of a text, as well as statistics on word frequency and character count</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>W3C HTML Validation</strong>: This validator checks the markup validity of Web documents in HTML, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>W3C CSS Validation</strong>:  Helps Web designers and Web developers check Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>W3C RSS Validation</strong>:  Checks syntax of Atom or RSS feeds</p>
          </li>
          <li>

          </li>

            <p><strong>XML Sitemap Generator</strong>: Creates an XML sitemap that can be submitted to Google, Yahoo and other search engines to help them crawl your website better</p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p><strong>Xenu’s Link Sleuth</strong>: Checks Web sites for broken links. Link verification is done on "normal" links, images, frames, plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts and java applets</p>
          </li>
