Carrying out SEO the right way

SEO companies who repeatedly go against the search engine rules will ultimately lose clients because search engines might automatically block off their clients without any reason other than that this certain SEO company has a reputation of using black hat techniques to manipulate higher rankings for their clients. Search engine optimization can be easily manipulated just by submitting content which are rich in keywords and key phrases but have less relevance. Spamdexing is also one way of immersing the Internet with irrelevant information designed to raise rankings.

After being fairly acquainted with the creation of successful web pages, we come to the point of examining of which search engine we must target, how they work and how to list your pages with them. The reason being that great number of people use these search engines.

You can easily change your search engines in Safari by using the Glims plugin. This is a great software which adds a number of features to Safari. Follow the following steps to make Bing as the default search engine for your Safari browser:

Traditional businesses that are dependent upon the local economy can now we ranked on the search engines without a website! The search engine Local Business Listing is how you can use the Internet to generate sales. This is a service that is a part of Google Local Business Listing via Google Maps, Yahoo Local Listing and Bing Local Listing.

This list is not comprehensive and there are many more SEO strategies you can employ but it should provide you with solid foundations going forward. Once you have completed these simple steps your customers should at least be able to find you in the search engines although depending on how competitive the marketplace is you may still be outranked by your competitors. If this is the case, give it time, rankings take time to settle and you may find as time passes your site's rankings start to climb. If, however, commercial pressures mean that you have to compete for the number one spot straight-away you'll almost certainly have to spend some money. The key areas you should consider investing your money are obviously in your website itself, it's design and usability but also in online advertising. Using online advertising to drive traffic to your site can be costly if you have no experience and increasingly falls within the remit of an SEO Consultant.

These methods are frowned upon by search engines and your site may be banned for a period of time if you or your SEO company indulge in underhand techniques. Other black hat ways that some search engine optimization firms use to raise a site?s ranking is to insert a hidden text in the site itself which human browsers can not see or detect but robotic spiders or crawlers can easily find and include in their indexing. Search engine optimization does not actually have a lot of fixed rules and regulations regarding what to do and what not do when optimizing a site.

  2. The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages. Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable. You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical SEO metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them. A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots. Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material. Placement of SEO Metatags: A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name. The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services. And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory. Good luck!

  3. Is there a benefit to registering our website with the leading search engines and directories? I'm even sure what it means to 'register'. Is this difficult to do?

  4. There's no such thing as "registering a website with leading search engines." If other people link to your content, the search engines will find it. If nobody links to your website, the search engines will not find it.

  5. Do you have to keep the computer turned on all the time so the search engines can get in to crawl your website? If so, would sleep mode work? I just don't see how they get in if the computer is off. Thanks.

  6. If you are hosting your own site in your server (Windows Server for example) then you have to always keep it on for people to access it. But if you are renting a webhost or a web space then there is no need for you to turn on you computer since you are to upload your site to the host site. And they are the one's taking care of your site. Search engine has a mechanism called a spider which crawls through sites and cached it. It is not simply putting your site on the web and the spider could crawl through it a cached it through their database. There are several factors involved in it. SEO or search engine optimization would give you a better understanding on how this search engines work.
