Search Engines are the oldest Artificial Intelligent online services

Sometimes we simply need to shift our focus to see obvious but very important things. It happens to me yesterday after watching another SEO guru. I suddenly and clearly realized where I have met AI before during my life long experience of web content writing… Surely, it’s a search engine… It sounds so simple but it moves some keys inside my brain….

Well, as for me, SEO is a part of digital marketing – I do profound market research through search requests shaping so called semantic core or better to say market demand in the sector of interest. I believe that only clear understanding what potential customers want helps to tailor website content to be unique in satisfying users’ needs. I’m pretty sure we are in one boat with search engines developers on this.

The second part of my job as a Search Engine Optimization specialist is to communicate with search engines to give our target audience something unique, what exactly they need. Here is where search engine’s black box begins… What does a search engine rely on while evaluating website contents? We both seem to want the same – to provide the most relevant answer to a search request. Here is where machine learning comes out, either…

When we have something unique on a website, a machine just gives a corresponding page at the top after searching through its data base. I have checked it many times. It works well – Uh, I would be surprised if it didn’t. When our content is not unique, some other factors start playing... but again, the things unique for a given website give advantages. That’s one of reasons why so-called “long-tail” request strategy is a basic one for SEO – the longer search request, the more possibility to provide unique content.

I keep my SEO experiments and promise to share results here, in my blog. Thanks for reading! Stay in touch!
