The most remarkable point is that Google proffers both organic and inorganic way to get visible. The one that we know as the organic or the natural process is called search engine optimization while the other one that’s inorganic is Adwords & PPC advertising, which was launched by the Google on the 23rd of October, 2000.

Keyword plays a very important role. Suppose you decided to go out for a holiday say Delhi and you are looking for a hotel to stay. Now depending on your budget and requirement you will type the so-called keywords in the search bar on Google such as best hotels in Delhi, cheap hotels in Delhi, expensive hotels in Delhi, hotels in Delhi near railway station or airport etc and Google will show you results.
