Why is that useless competitor outranking you?

The 10,000 foot explanation is that the world of search engine optimization (SEO) is mightily complex, because the job of the search engines is so complex. They deal with a web that has more than 1 trillion pages, crawl and perform a semantic analysis on a large portion of those, build a complete map of all the links between sites and web pages, put that in a database system spread across the entire planet, and respond to user search queries in less than 0.2 seconds. Google also professes to use more than 200 search ranking factors.

In addition, Google is battling against the spammers of the world. The spammers are constantly trying to figure out ways around Google's algorithm to obtain rankings that they don't deserve. In defense, Google and Bing both don't provide details of their ranking algorithms. The less that spammers know, and the harder it is to figure out by testing, the better.

In April 2010, an astonishing 15 billion online searches were done in the U.S. alone, with Google (and Google sites like YouTube) accounting for over 60 percent of them. Those searches were done by people just like you and me, who are simply trying to find answers to satisfy their needs.

Other than Facebook and e-mail, searching is one of our primary daily activities online. The search interfaces and results pages we're constantly interacting with are shaping our every day experiences and website expectations. Being the demanding online creatures we are, we expect this experience to continue being richer and more relevant.

Japan is a highly developed "wired" country, has a similar e-commerce infrastructure, uses both Google and Yahoo, and is the global leader in blogs and 3G mobile usage. Yet the failure rate among multinational search marketers trying to succeed in Japan is by far the highest in the world.

To really understand why it's so difficult, we first need to understand the missed opportunities that aren't so apparent. I found 10, but quickly ran out of room for this column, so we'll cover the first five today, then the remainder in my next column.

Web designers and usability experts dole solely in the interaction between a site and its visitors. These professionals take to heart the look and feel of site templates, content messages, and visual cues to ensure that the consumers of the site content will remain on pages longer and follow the intended purpose or funnel of the site. But what about how web searchers interact with your site, before they even hit the landing page?

For those in the search engine optimization (SEO) world, it's difficult not to fall into the obsession toward keyword placement and rankings and to lose focus on the user experience. Several SEOs and online marketers have covered in-depth the ideology of writing for the engines as well as for users.

Over the past five years, I've had to explain the state of an SEO campaign at hundreds of meetings. During that time, both the data that was made available to me to analyze, and the repercussions of what that data means, has changed dramatically. In addition, I've learned a lot about the challenges of explaining to non-SEO folks why we do what we do, and how the data that we see and what it says drives ongoing SEO strategy.

"The best friend that an SEO can have is Excel" is a comment I've heard several times. While it's true that Excel is an important tool for data manipulation, trending, planning, etc., increasingly presentation tools like PowerPoint are proving their worth.

Why presentation tools? Because they're hands down the best tools for educating the masses.

In the span of one week, I've delivered five different PowerPoint training sessions to five different groups, ranging from editors on one of our sites to all of AOL Media. PowerPoint provides a visual mechanism to explain the concepts, demonstrate the feature sets of tools, and show results.

In our first article in this series, which focused on SEO from the perspective of the search engine crawling experience, we explored the primary aspect of the crawl, index, rank methodology. We then went on to discuss the second aspect of this fundamental SEO concept, the indexation process. This article will focus on the third aspect of the crawl, index, rank methodology: rankings.

But first, a short refresher on the assumptions put forth in the first and second articles:

Search engines crawl, index, and rank web pages. SEOs should base their tactics on these primary activities. The conclusions for SEOs working at any level boils down to these essential facts:
