SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a way to make your website more ‘visible’ in the market by making it appear higher up in the keyword search result page.

Basically, search engines check for 3 types of metatags (or keyword): your website's title, keywords, and the description of the website. Your site's ranking in a search result depends on the words you select as metatags. Be sure to choose words potential customers may use in searching your product or website.

With Ochanoko you can select 3 metatags by going to the [Metatags (Whole Site)] and the [Metatags (Each Page)] page. By entering effective words related to your product, it will make the chances higher for customers to find your online shop.

Usually, a customer finds your website by typing in keywords related to your product in a search engine. PPC is a way to put your ad on search result pages. You can bid for the word(s) that make your ad appear.

Yahoo! Advertising and Adwords are companies that provide this service. Bidding price can vary greatly depending on what keyword you chose. Some start at just a few cents. And since you pay only when your ads are clicked, you can set limits and budget your advertisement cost.
