Idag finns omkring 625 miljoner webbsidor på internet. Rapporten betonar vikten av att synas bland dessa samt hur man gör för att bli sedd, detta samlingsnamn kallas sökmotoroptimering. I den här studien behandlar vi ämnet sökmotoroptimering med inriktning mot Google, vad det är och hur det används i praktiken. Vårt syfte är att fördjupa oss i detta ämne och bilda oss en uppfattning om vad det handlar om. I resultatet har vi utifrån Googles riktlinjer listat flera begrepp som hjälper dig att optimera din webbsida. Vi har även i resultatet intervjuat flera verksamheter eftersom vi vill veta hur sökmotoroptimering används hos dem. I analysen har vi sedan jämfört Googles riktlinjer med teori och resultat för att ta reda på vad som utmärker sig mest. Vi har kommit fram till att en lättillgänglig sida med bra innehåll är det som utmärker sökmotoroptimering och det som gör att webbsidan blir synligare i träfflistan. Vi kom även fram till att det är tre specifika delar som Google tar upp som utmärker optimering hos verksamheter. Dessa delar är: ”optimera för besökaren”,” förutse sökbeteende” och ”webbplatsanseende”.

Nyckelord används på ett flertal sätt för att nå högre rankning i sökmotorresultaten på webben och många författare inom ämnet beskriver hur viktigt det är att använda rätt nyckelord när man sökop-timerar sin webbplats.I litteraturen om sökmotoroptimering beskrivs och kategoriseras nyckelord på ett flertal sätt. Teori-delen i denna uppsats är tänkt att vara en samlingsplats för information om nyckelord. Detta för att skapa en samlad helhetsbild av nyckelordsprocessen och beskriva de olika kategorierna av nyckelord så att detta finns dokumenterat på ett och samma ställe.I den andra delen av uppsatsen beskrivs en empirisk studie som gjorts för att få reda på om andra manuella metoder än den traditionella brainstormingen kan användas för att ta fram passande nyck-elord till en webbsida. De testade metoderna är slumpordsassociation, negativ idégenerering och 6-3-5. Även brainstorming testades för att jämföras med de andra tre metoderna. Våra resultat visar att negativ idégenerering verkar mindre lämplig för nyckelordsframtagning och att slumpordsassocia-tion och 6-3-5 är likvärdiga brainstorming och kan användas som framtagningsmetoder. / Keywords are used in different ways to achieve higher rankings in search engine results on the web and many authors in the field describe how important it is to use the right keywords when search optimizing a website.In the literature on search engine optimization, keywords are described and categorised in a number of ways. The literature study in this paper serves as a collection of information about keywords for web pages to gather the different categories and describe the keyword process so that this is docu-mented in one place.The second part of this paper describes an empirical study made to find out if other manual methods than the traditional brainstorming can be used to provide suitable keywords to a web page. The stu-died methods are random word association, negative idea generation and 6-3-5. Brainstorming was also tested so that it could be compared with the other three methods. Our results show that nega-tive idea generation seems less suitable for keyword generation and random word association and 6-3-5 are equivalent to brainstorming and can be used as generating methods.
