Presently, the data available on the Internet is growing exponentially in three different dimensions i.e. size, processing power,& software intelligence. The WWW has evolved from being a collection of static content (web 1.0) to an intelligent web (Web 3.0). To reach a large audience on the internet, it is now essential for every business to have a website. However, to reach more viewers, a website must be visible on top of the Search Engine Result Page (SERP) because SERP top-ranking ultimately gives benefits in terms of more web traffic and helps to generate more revenues. This paper introduces the important concepts of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and provides numerous guidelines for website developers to enhance the visibility of their websites in the eyes of search engines. We concluded our paper by proposing key factors and introducing a SERP equation to predict business website ranking.\u003Cbr>Keywords: SEO, External Links, SERP, Search Engines. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. Introduction\u003Cbr>The Internet has provided a wide range of benefits to people in a variety of ways, such as maintaining social connections and supporting community networks that otherwise would not be possible. People are also able to retrieve the required information more than ever before. Moreover, people can also use the internet for education, work, communication, and entertainment purposes. Whereas, World Wide Web (WWW), or simply WEB, is a leading information retrieval service of the giant network i.e. Internet. The Web has | allowed users to access a vast array of documents. The end-users can jump from one document to another document by simply clicking on the URL. Currently, the Web holds the largest repository of documents ever built. In the year 2012, Google revealed that it had indexed more than 30 trillion web pages [1] . Moreover, the same source reported 130 trillion individual web pages indexed by Google in the year 2016. The extensive use of the Web for a variety of applications attracts individuals and companies to be part of this gigantic repository.
