This paper summarized the popular methods for acquiring customer requirement (CR) information, where the internet-based method is especially efficient when an enterprise's web possesses the function of real-time communication, guiding investigation and online experience. However, current classification and analysis of CR mainly depends on a subjective judgment, awareness and assessment of the enterprise's staff, which exists with human errors. From the point of view of CR information, the authors classified it into certain information and uncertain information; there are two types of uncertain information----the random and the fuzzy. Based on this classification, CR information can be analyzed by means of probability theory and fuzzy logic. Therefore, the enterprise will acquire CR information more effectively and analyze it more accurately.

Search engine optimization techniques, often shortened to “SEO,” should lead to first positions in organic search results. Some optimization techniques do not change over time, yet still form the basis for SEO. However, as the Internet and web design evolves dynamically, new optimization techniques flourish and flop. Thus, we looked at the most important factors that can help to improve positioning in search results. It is important to emphasize that none of the techniques can guarantee high ranking because search engines have sophisticated algorithms, which measure the quality of webpages and derive their position in search results from it. Next, we introduced and examined the object of the optimization, which is a particular website. This web site was created for the sole purpose of implementing and testing all the main SEO techniques. The main objective of this article was to determine whether search engine optimization increases ranking of website in search results and subsequently leads to higher traffic. This research question is supported by testing and verification of results. The last part of our article concludes the research results and proposes further recommendations.
