After Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines robots (bots) scan your new eVetsite, they catalog your site along with millions of other websites by means of mind boggling algorithms using a variety of internet concepts. Keep in mind search results will vary from one search engine to another, so there are no hard and fast rules that apply in all situations.  Search engines are constantly changing their procedures to stay ahead of people who are constantly trying to fool them to “get to the top” of the list.

At this time (Fall 2010), the major factor in search engine ranking (where you appear in the list of thousands of other web sites) is still “link popularity”. Link popularity refers to the number of other SIMILAR websites that have your URL address (www.mypractice.com) linked back to you on their website. The folks at Google and other search engines think this is a good indication that you're somebody important and have a very desirable web site that should be given list priority.

Keep in mind that search engine ranking changes day by day based on many factors including where you are located and the search history (previous searches) of the computer you using at the time.
