What is SERP?

What is a Search Engine Results Page (SERP)?

A SERP is a page displaying the results of something that has been searched by a search engine. The top search sites include Google, Yahoo Search and the Bing from MSN.

When we want to look or search something on internet and do not know which website to look for, we usually take the help of different search sites. On typing certain key words of the thing that we need to look for on the internet, on the search engine's search bar, we find that the results are displayed in a page, if there are many results; they are displayed in more than one page.

These pages are called SERPS, your objective is to get on page one of these result pages so people looking for what you have to offer will find you!

The patterns of an SERP are not the same for all the search engines. They differ with the engines that are used. In addition, the results may differ according to the engines. Few of them have certain connections with few websites and accordingly as per the type of search, these sites are displayed on the top, while the others, which do not have connections, are displayed later.

In addition, few of them show advertisements of the sponsors' right side, while few show them on the top. Thus, every search engine has their own design of their Search Engine Results Page.

In fact, these SERPs are becoming home pages for most of the online users today.
 
A search engine results page (SERP) is the page displayed by a search engine in response to a query by a searcher. The main component of the SERP is the listing of results that are returned by the search engine in response to a keyword query.
