•The Case For Search Engine Positioning

Google, however, sometimes will reference a site without actually visiting the page. (Google knows that because several sites link to a page, that...

•Getting Accepted In Yahoo! Directory
Although you do not "optimize" a Web site for a directory submission, per se, there are steps you should take in preparing your submission to Yahoo!. Typically, most people who submit to Yahoo! simply pick a category or two, write a site title and description, and then submit.

•How To Get Listed In The Yahoo! Directory

•Big Foot Means Big Sales?
There is a basic assumption of SEO that a larger footprint in the major search engines and top ten rankings on a more diverse keyword list will lead to increased qualified traffic and more sales. Less relevant and broader keyword phrases may be queried with greater frequency but the quality of the click-through declines. A good ranking in the major search engines does not necessarily equal traffic and traffic does not directly equal sales.
The whole point of search engine positioning is to...

•Dynamic Content: Fix It Now Or Suffer Later
A hugh graphic on the index page is attractive to those coming to your site, right? Hold on a minute, what about those who don't have fast connections to the Web? That beautiful graphic may also make you invisible to a search engine.
Sites that use Macromedia Flash are often beautiful, animated works, but when it comes to the search engine game, these graphic elements do not enhance the site's visibility. The spiders are blind to the content in that beautiful Flash image. This problem is...
•Buying Your Way To The Top
Sooner later someone had to think, "Hey, what if we charge everyone who wants to be in our search engine and then make them pay every time someone clicks on their listing in the search results? Why are we just serving search results for free, anyway? We can make money with these search results!"
The business model of pay-per-placement search engines are built on the premise that people will pay for high rankings. This model also assumes that people will pay only for rankings on those keywords...
•Okay, Is Cloaking Ever Legit?
The practice of "cloaking" involves writing a server-side script that detects the IP address of the incoming search engine and serves it a Web page that is different from the one displayed to the general public. The indexed Web page is hidden behind a stealth script, and when the user clicks on the listing in the search engine, he or she is automatically redirected to a client's site.
People or companies that employ cloaking scripts will often rail against the evils of page-jackers and...
•Searching For Buried Treasure
Everyone hates the thought of statistics. However, if you don't track the status at your Web site, you will never truly understand who is visiting your Web site and, more importantly, why. Identifying and retracing the "steps" of visitors in Web sites are the meat and potatoes of search engine positioning.
Before you start having flashbacks of high-school algebra class, you should know that tracking and analyzing Web site stats isn't rocket science. As a matter of fact, tracking and analyzing...
•The Harsh Reality - It's Top 30 Or Nothing
If, as a Internet marketer, you expect to survive and be found, you need to learn how to: 1) place your pages in the high-traffic core, and 2) achieve a high ranking in the major search engines. Otherwise, your sites will be like little islands in the sea: remote, inaccessible, and forgotten.
This means you are solely relying on people typing in your URL in the command lines of their browsers, and this only works if your site is well-known. The days of serendipitous surfers and "accidental...
•These Aren't Your Father's Search Engines
It used to be that every search engine had a submission page (an "Add URL" interface) and all a Webmaster needed to do was to visit each search engine, find the link to the submission page, enter their Web site's URL, and be done with the process. The search engines, however, responding to the many people who abused their submission interface, found it necessary to set undisclosed submission limits, watch the identities of the submitters, block many submitters, and even ban Web sites that...
•Get a Grip - Make Them Click
There are many places in your HTML you can include keywords, but the Titles and descriptions are arguably the most important elements of your Web site. These places are not the most important in terms of their ability to improve rankings in the search engines, or in terms of the search engines algorithm, but are most important in terms of their ability to compel someone to visit your Web site. That is, after all, the ultimate goal of search engine positioning, isn't it? Not a lot of point...
•Playing the Name Game
There are so many issues to consider when selecting a domain name. Most companies are not aware of all of these, and they choose poorly. If you don't have a well-known brand name or the resources to build a brand name that people might search for, why register a domain name that gives you no advantage whatsoever in the search engines, where people search for your product or service?
You can never own too many domain names. That's a rather bold statement, but think about the implications. If...

•Your Title Tag: The New Keyword META Tag
Do you start with one of your targeted keywords when constructing your Web site's title, or is it the third or fourth word of the site's title?

•Lovely To Look At But Rarely Seen
Intentionally launching a Web site that can't be found by any of the major search engines could hardly be the goal of any Web site owner. That would be akin to opening a mail-order business and not sending out a catalog, or opening a store and not publishing your phone number or address. On the Internet, the major search engines are the equivalent of the Yellow Pages, and the listings on search engines are just as valuable for garnering new business. No matter how pretty and interactive your...
•Developing A Killer Search Engine Positioning Strategy
After you have spent hours of your time creating a home page, it is certainly disheartening when no one visits your site, or the traffic is so minimal that it might as well be nonexistent. At this point you probably give up and decide to either build another website around a different target market or just lose all hope and quit. Well, news flash, as you have probably figured out by now, this is not the way to go about doing things.
You can register with search engines till your fingers...
•That Page Just Won't Fly
There can be any number of reasons why you would build an informational page, but most often it is due to some problematic site design issue that prevents the "actual pages" of a Web site from being indexed or attaining a high ranking in a major search engine. You can't always trash a Web page and start over. Sometimes you have to go with what you've got, and produce "fixes."
Here are a few design failures that may call for an informational page solution:
