What are Serp's | Galway Seo

The word Serp's is an acronym for Search Engine Result Pages; the small "s" is for the plural.

  • The Search Engines can usually return anything from a few pages to many millions of pages, for a search phrase, term or word.
  • It depends of course, how common such a word is; the more common, then the greater the number of occurences in their respective data bases.How they sort them is another matter.
  • Serp's provide a final opportunity to sell, if they use the content of your targetted Meta Description Tag.

Searching Google for what might seem a fairly obscure phrase; bohermore wellington (just 'cos that's where I got mine:)- About 3,620,000 results.

We go again, but with bohermore yellow wellington - only 752 matches.

Once more with bohermore hand stitched punctured wellies - not too bad, 7 results.

The Search Engines determine themselves, how many results are on a page (usually 10, with Google); the total number being the number of listings which they see as fit for return, or the limit of their crawling and filtering efforts.

Can A Domain appear more than once for a particular search phrase? Usually.

Are these like standard directory listings where you can search? Yes, but they employ extra filters, algorythms, pagerank and other calculations, before any return; making the S.E's more complex in nature.
