Search Engine Optimization, as the name implies, is the practice of optimizing a site or webpage for the search engines. More specifically, this refers to making a web page rank well when users search for a given keyword set. For example, if I ran a website selling jewelry, it would be pretty nice if Google searchers found my website listed first whenever they searched for "earrings," "diamond necklaces," etc.

SEO is a very competitive business, and unlike many other industries it cannot be taught in a scholastic atmosphere. SEO is learned "in the trenches" so to speak--participating in forums, reading articles and news, and building and promoting your own sites are the best ways to acquire SEO skills. Because of this inherent characteristic, SEO tends to appeal to many entrepreneurial businesspeople.
