Which page on your web site is the most important page? The product page? The
contact page? Or the order page? Whatever it is, the sitemap page is among the
most important pages on your web site. <br />
A sitemap page is a navigation help for your visitors. It contains links to
all important pages of your web site and it gives web site visitors an overview
of your web site structure.<br />
Check out these examples for well designed sitemaps:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ireland.com/about/map/" target="_blank">http://www.Ireland.com/about/map/</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/sitemap.html" target="_blank">http://www.Google.com/sitemap.html</a>
</li>
</ul>
If you don't have a sitemap page on your web site yet, you should create one.
It's enough to create just a formatted list of links to the pages on your site
to gain these benefits:<br />
<ol>
<li>If you submit your web site to the search engines, submit your sitemap page
instead of the home page. Sitemaps provide links to all important pages of your
web site. This allows search engines to find all your pages and to index them
easily.<br /><br />If a search engine requires the submission of your main page,
make sure that your main page links to your sitemap page.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Sitemaps allow you to use your most important key phrases in the description
text of the links that point to your important pages. Many search engines rank
those web pages higher that have links pointing to them containing the search
term in the link text.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Many people can't find what they're looking for on a web site. If you
provide a prominent link to your sitemap on every page of your web site, you can
help your visitors to find what they're looking for. </li>
</ol>
A good structure for a sitemap is first a paragraph describing your company,
your products and your philosophy, then a formatted list of your links, along
with short descriptions for every link.<br />
In summary, a sitemap helps visitors and search engines to find the most
important pages of your web site. Don't miss the chance of improving your search
engine rankings with such a simple tool.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-52134639665879596862012-03-23T04:29:00.004-07:002012-03-23T04:29:58.347-07:00Top 10 tips for high link popularity<div align="left">
Link popularity has become an important factor in the ranking algorithms of
most search engines. If many quality web sites link to your site, you'll have a
good position in the search engines.<br />
In addition to IBP's Link Popularity Improver, there are a number of ways to
improve the link popularity of your web site. Here are the top 10 tips for high
link popularity:<br />
<div class="normal">
<div class="normal">
<b>10. Cross-link your sites</b></div>
<ul><div class="normal">
An easy way to improve your link popularity is to add a link
from your own popular web site to a less popular site of your own.</div>
<div class="normal">
However, it's very important that one site is not only a
duplicate of the other and that both sites are related to each other. For
example, <a href="http://www.checkyourlinkpopularity.com/" target="_blank">CheckYourLinkPopularity.com</a> links to <a href="http://www.axandra.com/" target="_blank">Axandra.com</a> and vice versa. Both
sites are different but they offer related content.</div>
</ul>
</div>
<b>9. Give testimonials</b><br />
<ul>Everyone has some favorite software tools and utilities. Contact the
publishers or developers and explain why you like their software programs. Some
of them will request a permission to display your testimonial on their web site,
along with a link to your site.<br />
You can also contact web sites that don't offer software programs but
interesting articles. Just make sure that you really stand behind what you say
as it can backfire to you if you recommend bad products.</ul>
<b>8. Awards for you and other sites</b><br />
<ul>You can submit your web site to sites who offer awards. If they reward you
their award, then they'll probably link to your site. Just search Google for
"awards directory your-keyword" (replace "your-keyword" with a keyword that is
important to your business).<br />
You can also offer an award for other web sites. Submit your awards page to
the above-mentioned awards directories to make it popular. The web sites who
receive your award will link back to your site.</ul>
<b>7. Participate in newsgroups and discussion forums</b><br />
<ul>When you post to newsgroups and discussion forums, add a signature file with
a link to your web site.<br />
An easy way to post messages in newsgroups is to create a Google account and
to post via their web interface:<br /><a href="http://groups.google.com/" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com</a><br />
To find good discussion forums, just search Google for "forums directory
your-keyword". For example, if you want to participate in a marketing forum,
search Google for "forums directory marketing".</ul>
<b>6. Provide a link directory</b><br />
<ul>Offer a link directory on your web site which links to quality web sites with
a similar topic. Your visitors will appreciate such a resource and you'll
provide incentive for other sites to link to your site.<br />
You can add a "link to us" page to your web site on which you promise to add
other complementary sites to your link directory if they link back to you
first.<br />
ARELIS, the professional reciprocal links management software, can help you
to create and maintain a link directory (among many other useful things). It
also checks if other web sites remove their link to you.<br />
More information about the <a href="http://www.axandra.com/arelis/index.htm">reciprocal links management
program</a> can be found here: <a href="http://www.axandra.com/arelis/index.htm">http://www.Axandra.com/arelis/index.htm</a></ul>
<b>5. List your web site in the Yahoo directory</b><br />
<ul>If you have a business web site, you might want to pay US$299 yearly to Yahoo
to have your web site listed in the Yahoo directory. The Yahoo directory is
independent from Yahoo's main search engine:<br /><a href="http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/busexpress.html" target="_blank">http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/busexpress.html</a><br />
If you have a non-business site, you can submit to Yahoo without paying:
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/</ul>
<div class="normal">
<div class="normal">
<b>4. List your web site in the Open Directory Project (ODP)
directory</b></div>
<ul><div class="normal">
If your web site is listed in the popular directory ODP, then
your web site will have a good base for the link popularity.</div>
<div class="normal">
Rumor has it that Google starts crawling web sites with the web
sites listed in the ODP directory. Best of all, you can <a href="http://dmoz.org/add.html" target="_blank">add your web site to ODP</a>
without paying a fee.</div>
</ul>
</div>
<b>3. List your web site in regional and industry-specific
directories.</b><br />
<ul>A link in regional and indusstry specific directories is good for your web
site because your link will appear on a related page. Links from related pages
are much better than links from unrelated pages.</ul>
<b>2. Write articles for your audience</b><br />
<ul>Write articles about the topics that your web site visitors are interested
in. After a while, other web sites will link back to your articles.<br />
You can also send your articles to syndicate web sites. They'll offer your
articles to other web sites. Just make sure that your article contains a link to
your web site so that other sites who publish your article will automatically
link to you.</ul>
<b>1. Get reciprocal links from complementary sites</b><br />
<ul>Search the major search engines for your keywords. They will return many web
sites that don't compete with your site, or which offer complementary
things.<br />
Visit their site and then write them an email message to request a link to
your site. If you link back to them first, they'll be more likely to link to
you.</ul>
Consider using the <a href="http://www.axandra.com/go.to/duckprince" target="_blank">reciprocal links management software</a> ARELIS which saves you much time. It also lists which web sites
link to your competitors so that you can request a reciprocal link to your site,
too.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-46815677951086261292012-03-23T04:28:00.003-07:002012-03-23T04:28:43.749-07:00The robots.txt fileAlthough the robots.txt file is a very important file if you want to have a
good ranking on search engines, many web sites don't offer this file.<br />
If your web site doesn't have a robots.txt file yet, read on to learn how to
create one. If you already have a robots.txt file, read our tips to make sure
that it doesn't contain errors.<br /><br />
<b>What is robots.txt?</b><br />
When a search engine crawler comes to your site, it will look for a special
file on your site. That file is called robots.txt and it tells the search engine
spider, which web pages of your site should be indexed and which web pages
should be ignored.<br />
The robots.txt file is a simple text file (no HTML), that must be placed in
your root directory, for example:<br />
<ul><i>http://www.example.com/robots.txt<br /></i></ul>
<b>How do I create a robots.txt file?</b><br />
As mentioned above, the robots.txt file is a simple text file. Open a simple
text editor to create it. The content of a robots.txt file consists of so-called
"records".<br />
A record contains the information for a special search engine. Each record
consists of two fields: the user agent line and one or more Disallow lines.
Here's an example:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<tt>User-agent: googlebot</tt><tt><br /></tt><tt>Disallow:
/cgi-bin/</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
This robots.txt file would allow the "googlebot", which is the search engine
spider of Google, to retrieve every page from your site except for files from
the "cgi-bin" directory. All files in the "cgi-bin" directory will be<br />ignored
by googlebot.<br />
The Disallow command works like a wildcard. If you enter<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<tt>User-agent: googlebot<br />Disallow:
/support</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
both "/support-desk/index.html" and "/support/index.html" as well as all
other files in the "support" directory would not be indexed by search
engines.<br />
If you leave the Disallow line blank, you're telling the search engine that
all files may be indexed. In any case, you must enter a Disallow line for every
User-agent record.<br />
If you want to give all search engine spiders the same rights, use the
following robots.txt content:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><i>User-agent: *<br />Disallow: /cgi-bin/</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><b>Where can I find user agent names?</b><br />
You can find user agent names in your log files by checking for requests to
robots.txt. Most often, all search engine spiders should be given the same
rights. in that case, use "User-agent: *" as mentioned above.<br />
<br /><b>Things you should avoid</b><br />
If you don't format your robots.txt file properly, some or all files of your
web site might not get indexed by search engines. To avoid this, do the
following:<br />
<ol>
<li>Don't use comments in the robots.txt file<br /><br />Although comments are
allowed in a robots.txt file, they might confuse some search engine
spiders.<br /><br />"<i>Disallow: support # Don't index the support directory</i>"
might be misinterepreted as "<i>Disallow: support#Don't index the support
directory</i>".<br /><br /><br />
</li>
<li>Don't use white space at the beginning of a line. For example, don't
write<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt><span style="color: #eeeeee;">placeholder</span></tt><tt> User-agent:
*</tt><tt><br /></tt><tt><span style="color: #eeeeee;">place</span></tt><tt> Disallow:
/support</tt><tt><br /></tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />but<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow:
/support</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<i><br /></i>
</li>
<li>Don't change the order of the commands. If your robots.txt file should work,
don't mix it up. Don't write<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>Disallow: /support<br />User-agent:
*</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />but<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow:
/support</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
</li>
<li>Don't use more than one directory in a Disallow line. Do not use the
following<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow: /support /cgi-bin/
/images/</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />Search engine spiders cannot
understand that format. The correct syntax for this is<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow: /support<br />Disallow: /cgi-bin/<br />Disallow:
/images/</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<i><br /></i>
</li>
<li>Be sure to use the right case. The file names on your server are case
sensitve. If the name of your directory is "<i>Support</i>", don't write
"<i>support</i>" in the robots.txt file.<br /><br /><br />
</li>
<li>Don't list all files. If you want a search engine spider to ignore all files
in a special directory, you don't have to list all files. For example:<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow: /support/orders.html<br />Disallow:
/support/technical.html<br />Disallow: /support/helpdesk.html<br />Disallow:
/support/index.html</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />You can replace this
with<br /><br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow:
/support</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>There is no "Allow" command.<br /><br />Don't use an "Allow" command in your
robots.txt file. Only mention files and directories that you don't want to be
indexed. All other files will be indexed automatically if they are linked on
your site.<br /></li>
</ol>
<b>Tips and tricks:</b><br />
1. How to allow all search engine spiders to index all files<br />
<ul>Use the following content for your robots.txt file if you want to allow all
search engine spiders to index all files of your web site:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<tt>User-agent:
*</tt><tt><br /></tt><tt>Disallow:</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</ul>
2. How to disallow all spiders to index any file<br />
<ul>If you don't want search engines to index any file of your web site, use the
following:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<tt>User-agent: *<br />Disallow: /</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</ul>
3. Where to find more complex examples.<br />
<ul>If you want to see more complex examples, of robots.txt files, view the
robots.txt files of big web sites:</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><a href="http://www.cnn.com/robots.txt" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/robots.txt</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt" target="_blank">http://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt</a>

</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ebay.com/robots.txt" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.com/robots.txt</a> </li>
</ul>
</ul>
Your web site should have a proper robots.txt file if you want to have good
rankings on search engines. Only if search engines know what to do with your
pages, they can give you a good ranking.Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-28414786880843548672012-03-23T04:27:00.004-07:002012-03-23T04:27:50.190-07:00The right search engine optimization strategyIBP is a professional web site promotion solution that helps you to achieve
high search engine rankings for your web pages. High search engine rankings
result in more visitors, more customers and more sales. <br />
The right strategy is crucial to the success of your search engine
optimization activities.<br />
Search engine users are some of the most qualified and motivated visitors to
your web site you will ever have. After all, they have taken the initiative to
hunt for online resources on a certain topic. And then they clicked your link to
learn more. <br />
<a href="http://www.axandra.com/go.to/duckprince" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.axandra.com/affiliates/google/250x250.gif" /></a>However, getting listed in a search engine doesn't do you much good if you're
number 415 of 1,259,000 search results. Surprisingly, it doesn't even help you
much if you're result number 11. Most search engines display 10 results on the
first page, and relatively few searchers click through to look at the second
page.<br />
With IBP, your web site will get the best possible search engine rankings and
you'll get as many visitors as possible. High rankings contribute greatly to the
success of your Internet business.<br />
<b>The key to high search engine rankings is to do the right things in the
right order:</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Find the right keywords for your web site.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Optimize your web pages for these keywords so that they can get high search
engine rankings.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Submit your web pages to all important search engines and directories so
that web surfers can find you.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Get links from other web sites and make sure that these links contain your
keywords.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Track the results. </li>
</ol>
IBP's professional tools help you with all these aspects. With IBP, you can
optimize and submit your web pages as quickly and easily as possible.<br />

<div align="left">
<a href="http://www.axandra.com/go.to/duckprince" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.axandra.com/affiliates/google/250x250.gif" /></a>Many webmasters overlook a very important aspect of web site promotion: the
validity of the HTML code.<br />
<b>What is valid HTML code?</b><br />
<ul>Most web pages are written in HTML. As for every language, HTML has its own
grammar, vocabulary and syntax, and every document written in HTML is supposed
to follow these rules.<br />
Like any language, HTML is constantly changing. As HTML has become a relative
complex language, it's very easy to make mistakes. HTML code that is not
following the official rules is called invalid HTML code.</ul>
<b>Why is valid HTML code important?</b><br />
<ul>Search engines have to parse the HTML code of your web site to find the
relevant content. If your HTML code contains errors, search engines might not be
able to find everything on the page.<br />
Search engine crawler programs obey the HTML standard. They only can index
your web site if it is compliant to the HTML standard. If there's a mistake in
your web page code, they might stop crawling your web site and they might lose
what they've collected so far because of the error.<br />
Although most major search engines can deal with minor errors in HTML code, a
single missing bracket in your HTML code can be the reason if your web page
cannot be found in search engines.<br />
If you don't close some tags properly, or if some important tags are missing,
search engines might ignore the complete content of that page.</ul>
<b>How can you check the validity of your HTML code?</b><br />
<ul>Select the "HTML validator" in IBP's main window. IBP will connect you to an
offical HTML validator that will check the code of your web pages.</ul>
Although not all HTML errors will cause problems for your search engine
rankings, some of them can keep web spiders from indexing your web pages.<br />
Valid HTML code makes it easier for search engine spiders to index your site
so you should make sure that at least the biggest mistakes in your HTML code are
corrected.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-58807667186584609232012-03-23T04:24:00.001-07:002012-03-23T04:24:09.951-07:00Search engine spiders and your websiteAre you sure that search engines understand your web site? Search engines see
your web pages with different eyes than web surfers.<br />
<div align="left">
A web page that looks great to the human eye can be totally meaningless to
search engines. For example, search engines cannot read the text on the images
of your web site, and many don't understand web languages such as JavaScript or
CSS.<br />
If you have a great looking web site that is meaningless to search engines,
you won't be able to achieve high search engine rankings with that web site - no
matter how good and interesting your web site content is.<br />
In general, search engines cannot see content that is presented in the
following file formats:<br />
<ul>
<li>images (GIF, JPEG, PNG, etc.)
</li>
<li>Flash movies, flash banners, etc.
</li>
<li>JavaScript and other script languages
</li>
<li>other multimedia file formats </li>
</ul>
Some search engines can index some of these file formats but in general, it's
very difficult to obtain high search engine rankings if your main web site
content is presented only in these formats.<br />
Search engines need text to index your web site. They cannot know what's
written on your GIF or JPEG images or in your Flash movies. If you use a lot of
images on your web site, you should also create some web pages that contain a
lot of text.<br />
If you want to find out how search engines see your web site, you have to use
a search engine spider simulator tool. A search engine spider simulator tool
emulates the software programs search engines use to index your web site. They
show you what elements of your web site are visible to search engines.<br />
IBP's search engine spider simulator helps you to find out how search engines
see your web site. IBP's spider simulator even allows you to emulate special
search engines spider names so that you can find out if your competitors send
different pages to search engine spiders.<br />
Just enter the URL of your web site and IBP will tell you what text and which
links search engines can find on your site.<br />
That allows you to quickly find out whether your web site lacks information
that search engines need to properly index your web site.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-38400206234056162472012-03-23T04:22:00.000-07:002012-03-23T04:23:32.503-07:00Link popularity and search engine rankingsIf you have optimized your web page for high search engine rankings and it
still doesn't get better listings, it is very likely that your web site has low
link popularity.<br />
Link popularity is a very important factor for all major search engines. If
your web site doesn't have good link popularity, it is very difficult to get
good search engine rankings.<br />
Note that link popularity alone is not enough. The content of your web site
is also important so that search engines know what your web site is about.<br />
A combination of optimized pages and high link popularity will bring your web
site to the top of the search engine results.<br />
<br />
<b>What exactly is link popularity?</b><br />
Link popularity refers to the total number of links that a search engine has
found for your web page. The more web sites link to your web page, the higher
the link popularity of your page. High link popularity contributes to a high
search engine ranking.<br />
The idea behind the link popularity concept is simple. The more other web
sites link to your web site, the more important your site must be. Other sites
wouldn't link to your site if there wasn't something interesting on your site or
if your web site didn't contain any special content.<br />
It's nearly impossible to manipulate link popularity. Previous ranking
algorithms that took META keywords or similar factors into account have been
quickly abused to mislead the search engines. On the other side, it's very
difficult to manipulate the number of links that point to a site.<br />
That's why link popularity is now one of the most important factors for
search engines when they rank a web page.<br />
However, you cannot get high link popularity by submitting your web site to
thousands of FFA (free for all) link pages. Not all links are considered equal
by the search engines. It does matter who links to you and how they link to
you.<br />
<br />
<b>Not all links are considered equal</b><br />
The more web sites link to your web site, the higher your link popularity.
However, not all links are equal. Some links count more than others. Links from
important web sites have a greater effect on your link popularity and your
search engine rankings.<br />
A link from www.Yahoo.com to your web site has more weight than a link from a
small private web page. A link from a web site with high link popularity is
better than a link from an unknown web site.<br />
It's also important that the web site that's linking to you has a similar
topic as your web site. Imagine that you sell shoes on your web site. A link
from another web site that is all about shoes will count much more than a link
from a web site that links to all kind of web sites.<br />
Finally, it's important how the link to your site looks like. For example,
one of your important keywords might be "brown leather shoes".<br />
The link<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt><a href="http://www.domain.com">Brown leather
shoes</a></tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
leads to much better search engine rankings for the keyword "brown leather
shoes" than the following link<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt><a href="http://www.domain.com">Smith and
Partners</a></tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
By the way, many people think that they can increase their link popularity by
submitting their web site address to FFA (free for all) link pages and link
farms (Web sites that link to all kind of web sites). This doesn't work.<br />
More and more search engines recognize FFA pages and link farms and choose to
ignore these pages. Usually, submissions to FFA pages are a waste of time that
only results in many spam email messages.<br />
In addition, you should avoid services that promise you 2000 links to your
site within a week or so. If they link to you at all, these 2000 links are of
poor quality or they don't have a similar topic as your web site.<br />
Use common sense. Offers that sound too good to be true probably aren't
true.<br />
Summary:<br />
<ul>
<li>try to get links from important web sites
</li>
<li>try to get link texts that contain your important keywords
</li>
<li>don't use FFA or link farm pages
</li>
<li>don't use services that promise lots of links within days
</li>
<li>focus on quality links, not on quantity </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>How to find good potential link partners</b><br />
As explained above, it's important <i>who</i> links to your site. web sites
that have a similar topic as your site are more important than web sites with
different topics.<br />
In addition, if you can convince web sites with a similar topic to link to
your site, you'll also get targeted traffic from these sites.<br />
People who visit your topic partner sites are usually interested in what you
have to offer. They are more likely to come to your site and to buy something.
It's the quality of the traffic that counts, not the quantity.<br />
<div class="normal">
But how do you find good potential links partners? There are
several ways:
<br />
<ol>
<li class="normal">User IBP's Link Popularity Improver to find web sites that
could trade links with you.<br /><br />

</ol>
</div>
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
Building a good link popularity requires some work but the results will pay
for it. Link popularity is already one of the most important factor for search
engines to rank web sites.<br />
The sooner you start with your linking campaign, the better the results for
your business.<br />

A "404
not found" page is the page that comes up when someone tries to access a web
page that doesn't exist.<br />
<div align="left">
<div align="left">
This usually happens when someone types a wrong URL or follows a link to a
page that does not exist. A typical 404 error page looks like this:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>HTTP 404 Not Found</tt><tt>The requested URL was not found on this
server.</tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The exact wording of this error may vary, but it is normally unintuitive and
unfriendly. It is unlikely that the person explores your site further.<br />
People who come to a "404 not found" web page are usually lost visitors.
These visitors don't see your web site information and they cannot buy your
products.<br />
<br /><b>A custom 404 error page keeps visitors on your web site</b><br />
Most web hosts allow you to create a custom "404 not found" page. If you
haven't done it yet, you should create a custom 404 error page now.<br />
A custom 404 error page is an easy way to keep visitors on your web site. It
also allows you to redirect your visitors to the pages of your choice.<br />
For example, you could use the following HTML code for your own 404 error
page:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt><html></tt>
<div align="left">
<ul><tt><head></tt><br />
<tt><TITLE>Sorry</TITLE></tt><br />
<tt><meta http-equiv=refresh
content="2;URL=http://www.YourWebsiteName.com"></tt><br />
<tt></head></tt><br />
<tt><body></tt><br />
<tt>Sorry, this page doesn't exist. You'll be redirected to our index
page.</tt><br />
<tt></body></tt></ul>
<tt></html></tt></div>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
This HTML code simply redirects people to the index page of your web site so
that they can find what they're looking for (replace "www.YourWebSiteName.com
with the URL of your own web site).<br />
You could also create a custom 404 page that tells your visitors that the
page is not available anymore. It also makes sense to give your visitors some
choices.<br /><b>A custom 404 error page is important to the success of your web
site</b><br />
People often mistype URLs and some web sites have links to non-existent
pages. This can happen when redesigning a web site or just through typographical
errors.<br />
With a custom 404 error page, you make it easier for end users to find where
they want to go on your web site.<br />
Most web space providers allow custom 404 error pages. Ask your web space
provider how you can create a 404 error page for your web site. If your web host
doesn't allow this, you might find a new good host <a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/%7Eaffiliat/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=trungtvmmo" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<span class="headline"><b>How to rank well with Flash sites</b></span></h1>
<div align="left">
Flash movies are a popular way to make web sites more compelling. They are
useful if you want to impress your web site visitors or if you offer web design
services. <br />
Unfortunately, if you use Flash movies, or if you even design your complete
web site based on the Flash technology, your odds of getting listed in the
search engines are greatly reduced.<br />
Search engines can only "see" pure text. They are not able to recognize text
on an image or text that appears as a graphic in a Flash movie.<br />
Google <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html" target="_blank">advises</a> on its webmaster guidelines page: "If fancy features
such as [...] Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser,
then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.".<br />
So how can you achieve high search engine rankings in spite of Flash
contents?<br />
First of all, you should re-consider using Flash on your web site. Keep in
mind that many visitors still use slow dial-up connections to access web pages.
They don't like to wait 1-2 minutes only to see your company logo fancy
animated. Your Flash movies must carry invaluable information to the visitors,
otherwise they will be disappointed.<br />
Entry pages that only show your company logo are becoming more and more
annoying to users. Using web pages like company brochures only show that your
company didn't get the whole Internet idea.<br />
Keep in mind that not everyone has installed the Flash player. Always add a
link to a web page that contains the same important information as found in the
Flash movie in plain text.<br />
For these reasons, not using Flash or building a duplicate site without Flash
are the easiest ways to make sure that your web site visitors and the search
engines can access your web site.<br />
If you really must use Flash on your web site, the following tips can help
you getting your Flash contents indexed by the search engines:<br />
<ul>
<li>Provide links to alternate pages that contain a lot of text and some
keywords that the search engines can index.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Place some text above and below your Flash movie that contain your keywords.
Along with your title and maybe your meta tags, this gives the search engines
some contents to index.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>If you embed the Flash movie in your HTML code, use your most important
keywords in the movie filename using the HTML tags <param name="movie"
value="movie-filename.swf"> and <param name="src"
value="movie-filename.swf>.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>You can use the <object standby="your message to show while loading">
attribute to include some text that is displayed while the Flash movie is being
loaded. In addition, you can use the <object title="your movie title">
attribute to include a keyword-rich movie title.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Use the <noembed> tag to provide text for web browsers which don't
support the Flash plugin. Use it to describe the contents of the Flash movie as
search engines can index that description.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>You may want make your Flash movie transparent and place it "over" your web
page using CSS layers. However, some search engines might consider this
spamming.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Some search engines offer pay for inclusion programs that guarantee the
inclusion of your web page regardless of the contents. Note that these search
engines still need text to index.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>You could provide an alternative, "pure text" web page solely to search
engine crawler programs. However, this technique is called "cloaking" and search
engines don't like it (<a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/faq.html#cloaking" target="_blank">click
here for details</a>).<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Link from other pages of your web site to your Flash page with a
keyword-rich link text.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Use the <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/download/search_engine/" target="_blank">Macromedia Flash Search Engine SDK</a> to convert a Flash file's
text and links into HTML for search engine indexing. </li>
</ul>
Macromedia, the developers of the Flash technology, have recognized the
difficulties in getting Flash contents indexed. For this reason, they have
developed an <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/accessibility/features/flash/" target="_blank">accessibility kit</a> that helps you to embed pure text and links
in the movie file.<br />
Macromedia hopes that search engines will learn over time to read the
embedded text.<br />

Even if you have obtained high search engine rankings for your web site under
your important keywords, and even if you have hundreds of visitors per day, web
surfers still might not purchase something on your web site.<br />
<div align="left">
Why do visitors sometimes don't convert into sales? We'll give you several
reasons that can prevent surfers from buying on your web site.<br />
<br />
<b>Reason 1: Your web pages don't load fast enough</b><br />
Web surfers hate to wait for slow loading web pages. If your web pages don't
load fast enough, many web surfers will go away without taking a look at
them.<br />
No matter how great your product is: if your web site is not fast enough, web
surfers won't see it. Fast loading web pages are crucial if you want to sell
something on the Internet.<br />
There are several things you can do to speed up your site. Of course, you
should make sure that your web host provides fast and reliable servers. In addition to hosting your web
site on a fast server, you can do the following to improve the loading time of
your web pages:<br />
<ol>
<li>Reduce the number of graphics<br /><br />A large number of graphics on your web
pages can considerably slow down your page. For each graphic on your web page,
the web browser has to make another connection to your server. If you cannot
reduce the number of graphics on your web page, then try to combine several
graphics to a single bigger one. Use the same graphics on your other web pages
so that web browsers can load the graphics from the browser cache.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Specify the dimensions of your graphics<br /><br />Always make sure to include
the height and width dimensions of your graphics in your HTML code. This means
that every IMG tag should have the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes specified. If web
browsers doesn't have to figure out the dimensions of your graphics, they can
already display placeholders and start displaying the text of your web page
before loading the graphics from the server.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Make the top of your page interesting<br /><br />If a web page takes a long time
to load, make sure that the top of the page contains something interesting
because visitors will see that part first.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Divide your tables<br /><br />Web pages that use a single large layout table
take a long time to render in web browsers. Break up huge tables into several
smaller ones.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Specify the dimensions of your tables<br /><br />If you specify the WIDTH and
HEIGHT attributes for your tables, then web browsers don't have to load the
complete table code to calculate the dimensions of the table.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Double check cell widths<br /><br />Take a moment to check the individual widths
of each table cell. If the total is more than the specified table width, then
web browsers will have problems displaying your table. </li>
</ol>
It's important to know the download times of your web pages. In general, your
home page should load in 20 seconds on a dial-up connection and the top of your
page should be displayed within 5-8 seconds.<br />
Fast loading web pages are the most basic factor of a successful web site. If
your web pages are displayed and rendered as quickly as possible, people will
have more time to read the actual content of your web pages and eventually
they'll buy something on your page.<br />
Now that people can see your web page content, it's important to keep them on
your site.<br />
<div align="left">
<br />
<b>Reason 2: Is your web site trustworthy?</b><br />
It's very important that your web site visitors have trust and confidence in
your company. Your customers must trust you. They won't buy from you if they
don't.<br />
On the World Wide Web, you cannot speak face to face with your customer so
you have to establish credibility in other ways.<br />
<ol>
<li>Make sure that your web pages have a professional design<br /><br />Your web
pages have to look perfect. If necessary, hire a professional web designer.
Don't use blinking text, funny animations or flashy banners on your page. Make
sure that all links on your web site are intact.<br /><br />Don't use automatically
created web pages. Some software programs allow you to automatically create
pages that are "optimized" for a special keyword. These doorway pages don't work
anymore on search engines (its simply spamming).<br /><br />In addition, human web
surfers are turned away by that kind of pages. While doorway pages might look
attractive to software programs, web surfers usually hate them. Automatically
created doorway pages usually look ugly to human web surfers. Often, they
consist of nothing more than a list of buzz-words. You won't get good results
with this method because human web surfers will quickly close such a web
page.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Tell your web site visitors who you are<br /><br />Make sure that customers know
that a real person is sitting behind this Web page. Include your full contact
information on your web site and make it easy to find.<br /><br />If your visitors
don't know from whom they will purchase and how to contact you, they won't buy
anything. Show your privacy policy.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Offer free trials and show your refund policy<br /><br />The most common things
to establish trustworthiness is to offer a free trial and a money back
guarantee. If your customers know what they'll get, they'll be more likely to
purchase.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Use testimonials. </li>
</ol>
<ul>Its far better if other people say nice things about you than you saying
nice things about yourself. Testimonials from satisfied customers will show how
your business can do a better job than your competitor when it comes to customer
satisfaction. </ul>
<br />
<b>Reason 3: Is your web site content convincing?</b><br />
<div align="left">
It's important that your web pages are interesting to your visitors. Every
visitor wants to get a prompt answer to the question "what's in it for me?". In
the first paragraph of your web page, you should tell your visitors the
following:<br />
<ul>
<li>what you do
</li>
<li>why people should stay on your site
</li>
<li>what's in for your visitors </li>
</ul>
If you don't answer these questions quickly enough, people will go away.<br />
People aren't necessarily interested in your product or in your company. You
must convince your web site visitors with good sales copy.<br />
Before starting to write sales copy, make sure that you know your product and
that you're passionate about it. You have to fully believe in your product. If
you don't, you shouldn't sell it. You cannot write convincing sales copy if you
don't stand behind your product. You must be sure that you're doing your
customers a favor by offering them your product.<br />
<ol>
<li>What's in for your customers?<br /><br />Your customers want benefits. What can
your product do for them? What can it do for them now? The benefits of your
product should be the first words on your site. Make them bold and make them
big. If your visitors don't know what's in it for them after the first few
seconds, they'll leave your site.<br /><br />People don't read everything on your
page. They scan it for interesting information. Grab their attention with
benefits.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Don't mix up features and benefits<br /><br />You must differentiate between
features and benefits. Features are the attributes of your product, benefits are
what your product promises. For example, if you sell a solar-powered clock, then
the feature is "uses new 38/12 solar cells". The benefit to the buyer is "you
save money because you don't have to buy batteries anymore".<br /><br />Don't bore
your potential customers with technical details. Tell them what your product
will do for them. How they will feel when they tried your product. Maybe your
product or service will make them more money, maybe it will save them time. Tell
them and don't be shy.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>Killer headlines will grab your visitors attention<br /><br />Nobody will read
your entire page. Make it easier for your customers by dividing your page into
paragraphs where each paragraph has a headline. Your headlines should make clear
what to expect in the next sentences and they should grab your visitors'
attention.<br /><br />Use words like "free, proven, benefit, first, discover,
complete, exclusive" and avoid words like "should, could" and "but". Make sure
that you use "you" more than "I" or "we". Remember: Your customers don't really
care about you and your business. They only want to know what's in for
them.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>End your sales copy by telling the reader what to do </li>
</ol>
<ul>At the end of your copy text, you must tell your visitors what to do next,
for example "Click here to order now for immediate delivery". </ul>
Use these tips to write as persuasively as you can, but remember not to
deceive your customers in any way. You'd risk poor word of mouth, legal action,
no repeat business and refund requests.When people have finally decided to purchase your product, you must make sure
that your order page doesn't drive them away.<br />
<div align="left">
<br />
<b>Reason 4: Is your order page easy to use?</b><br />
Statistics show that more than 60 percent of online shoppers abort the
ordering process. If your order page isn't easy to use, all other web site
promotion efforts will be in vain.<br />
Here are the most important points for a successful order page:<br />

customers. German customers don't know what to enter in the "State" field and
usually leave it empty. Some countries don't even have postal numbers. Your
order pages should work for these customers.</td></tr>

If your order pages are easy to use and secure, they won't hinder or deter
customers from completing their purchase.<br />
It's very important that your order pages are a secure place to shop for your
customers. Use as much encryption as you can and join the additional security
services that are offered by some credit card companies.</div>

Good web page
titles can remarkably increase the effectiveness of your web site.<br />
<div align="left">
The title of a web page is the text that is written between the <TITLE>
and </TITLE> tag in the HTML code of a web page. If you write the right
text between these tags, your web site can get more targeted visitors.<br />
<b>Why are web page titles so important for your web site success?</b><br />
<ol>
<li>The titles of your web pages are important for search engines<br /><br />To many
search engine spiders the title of a web page is more important than other web
page elements. If your web page title contains your most important keywords,
it's likely that the web page will have a good search engine ranking for these
keywords.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>The titles of your web pages are important for web surfers<br /><br />The title
of your web site is the first thing web surfers will see from your web site.
Many search engines display the title of a web page as the main link to a web
site in the search engine result pages.<br /><br />In addition, the web page title
is used when a web surfers bookmarks your web site. </li>
</ol>
While most search engines don't allow you to influence the description of
your web site, the title of your web site is often listed without any
changes.<br />
<b>What does this mean to you?</b><br />
It's important that your web pages have compelling titles that are compelling
to web surfers and that contain your most important keywords.<br />
For example, if you have a sports shoe shop in London, don't use this title
tag:<br />
<i>Welcome to Smith & Son</i>
People probably won't click on that link because they don't know who you are.
That web page title doesn't look very attractive to the average surfer. Better
use this title:<br />
<i>Buy sneakers and sports shoes at competitive prices in our
shop in London. Nike, Adidas, Reebok and all other major sports shoe brands.</i>
<b>Why is the second title better than the first one?</b><br />
The second title has many advantages over the first title.<br />
<ol>
<li>The second title contains keywords that are important for a sports shoe
business: <i>sports shoes, sports shoe, sneakers and several brand
names.</i><br /><br />The inclusion of these words in the title increase the change
of good search engine rankings for these keywords.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>The second title informs web surfers about the purpose of the web site and
it gives them a reason to click: <i>Buy sneakers and sports shoes at competitive
prices.</i><br /><br />
</li>
<li>The second title includes geographical information: <i>...in our shop in
London</i>. People who live in Chicago are probably not interested in a shop
that's based in London.<br /><br />The inclusion of "London" in the web page title
allows people to quickly find out if it's worth to visit the web site. In
addition, it's more likely that the web site will be found for a search term
such as "<i>shoe shop London</i>".<br /></li>
</ol>
Good web page titles can help you to increase your search engine rankings and
to get more people to click on your link. <br />

search engines, use IBP's Top 10 Optimizer.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-50781706951661974012012-03-23T03:50:00.003-07:002012-03-23T03:50:37.624-07:00How often should you submit your websiteYou've probably seen them on the web and you've probably received many spam
email messages from them: services that promise you to submit your web site to
thousands of search engines and that tell you that your web site will get high
search engine rankings if you just submit your web site often enough.<br />
<div align="left">
<b>The frequency of your search engine submission is not important</b><br />
When you submit your web site URL to a search engines, you basically ask the
search engine spiders to visit your web site and to evaluate it. If the search
engine spiders cannot find anything useful on your site, they won't list your
web site. It doesn't make sense to submit your web site again and again if it
isn't search engine ready.<br />
Search engines must be able to find out what your web site is all about. They
need to find text and links on your web pages and they also need to find the
keywords for which you want to have high rankings on your web pages.<br />
<b>Submitting alone doesn't guarantee visitors</b><br />
Submitting your web site to search engines is important, but it is not the
most important step in your search engine marketing campaign.<br />
It's much more important that your web pages are optimized for search
engines. Many web sites are designed in a way that prevents them from showing up
in search engines.<br />
If your web pages are not search engine ready, it's pointless to submit them.
If the search engines index your web site at all, it will be listed on position
17,352 or worse. With a listing on that position, you won't get any
visitors.<br />
<b>The key to successful search engine submission</b><br />
Before submitting your web pages to search engines, you must make sure that
they are optimized for your important keywords and for the special search engine
you target.<br />
If your web pages are prepared for a special search engine and for a special
keyword then it's much more likely that your web site will receive high
rankings.<br />
Make sure that your web pages contain enough text and that search engine
spiders can find the pages of your web site trough normal text links. Don't use
web site intros and don't use too many Flash elements on your web site. It is
extra work to optimize your web pages for search engines but it is well worth
the effort.<br />
<b>Professional search engine submission takes some time</b><br />
Don't fall for services that promise you to submit your web site to thousands
of search engines. It will only result in thousands of spam messages. Invest
some time in optimizing your web pages before you submit them and then submit
your site to important search engines. You'll get much better search engine
rankings<br />
IBP helps you to optimize your web pages for high rankings on Google, Yahoo
and other major search engines and it also helps you to submit your web site to
all important search engines. Use IBP's Top 10 Optimizer to optimize your pages
before you submit them.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-52428511432024004472012-03-23T03:49:00.002-07:002012-03-23T03:49:57.798-07:00Can SEO companies guarantee rankings?<div align="left">
Some <a href="http://duckprince.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO" target="_blank">SEO</a> (search engine optimization) companies guarantee that you get a
special search engine position if you let them do the work for you. Actually,
this is not possible. No company can guarantee search engine listings.<br />
If a company makes such promises, take a closer look at the guarantee. The
catch is often that the company selects the search terms. You'll be listed for
obscure search terms that nobody searches for. If you have a unique company name
or a unique product name, it's relatively easy to get high search engine
rankings for that term.<br />
Before paying a company to get high <a href="http://duckprince.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO" target="_blank">search engine rankings</a> for you, try it
yourself with IBP. You'll find out that you can get high search engine rankings

The only way to get high search engine rankings and staying there is good web

<div align="left">
<a href="http://www.axandra.com/go.to/duckprince" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.axandra.com/affiliates/google/250x250.gif" /></a>It's very difficult to get a good rankings on search engines if your web site
uses frames.<br />
The problem is that search engines do not index framed web sites well.
Actually, the search engines do such a poor job of indexing frames that we
recommend rebuilding your web site without them. For some search engines,
rebuilding your site without frames is the only way to get a good ranking.<br />
If you must use frames on your Web site for some reason, make sure you use
the NoFrames tag so that search engines can find some text to index. The
NoFrames tag is a tag specifically for search engines that cannot read the
actual pages in your frame set.<br />
Some search engines will be able to index the text you enter in the NoFrames
tag. The contents you enter there should be text that is related to your site.
It should contain your most important keyword phrases, but should remain
readable to your Web site visitors.<br />
You should place the NoFrames tag just before the </frameset> tag in
your frameset, for example:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt><frameset cols="25%,*" border="1"><br /><frame src="this.html"
name="this"><br /><br /><frameset rows="*,5*"><br /><frame src="that.html"
name="that"><br /><frame src="whatever.html"
name="whatever"><br /></frameset><br /><br /><noframes><br /><body><br /><h1>All
about fishing equipment</h1><br /><br />If you're looking for fishing
equipment, you'll find it<br />here. We offer rods, reels, lines, flies, waders,
vests<br />and apparel, tubes and boats and more.<br /><br /><p><a
href="this.html">More about fishing
equipment</a><br /></body><br /></noframes><br /><br /></frameset></tt></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
An easy way to do this is to create a new not framed web page for your site
that describes your products and services. Often the content can be taken
directly from one of your existing framed pages.<br />
Once you've created the new page, view the HTML source of the page and copy
everything from within the <body> and </body> tags. Then paste the
new content within the <body> and </body> tags found within the
NoFrames tags of your frameset.<br />
Note that the text between NoFrames tags in our example contains a link to
the main frame set page. That way, Web surfers with older browsers that don't
support frames will also be able to visit the page.<br />
Don't use a list of keywords within the NoFrames tags and don't try to
overuse this tag because the search engines might penalize your web site for
that.<br />
Even if you use the NoFrames tag, it's still difficult to get a good ranking
for a web site that uses frames.<br />
If at all possible, avoid frames on your site.</div>Stephen Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11478906812016688555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607062094181645574.post-2956829408557895892012-03-23T03:45:00.001-07:002012-03-23T03:45:46.676-07:00Filter words and stop words<br />
<div align="left">
<a href="http://www.axandra.com/go.to/duckprince" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.axandra.com/affiliates/google/250x250.gif" /></a>Google and other big search engines ignore common words such as 'the', 'of',
'where', as well as certain single digits and single letters. These words are
called "filter words". They are ignored because they tend to slow down a search
without improving the results.<br />
Of course, every search engine has its own list of filter words. We've found
out that the following words seem to be ignored by most search engines:<br />
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>a, about, an, and, are, as, at, be, by, from, how, i, in, is, it, of, on, or,
that, the, this, to, was, we, what, when, where, which,
with</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<b>What does this mean to your site?</b><br />
Search engines consider keywords in the title, in the body text and in link
texts of a web page as an important ranking criteria.<br />
Be careful when you choose your keywords for the title and the rest of your
web page. If your web page title contains a list of filter words you won't get
any results. You might also dilute the effectiveness of your other keywords if
you include too many filter words in the title.<br />
Many search engines recommend limiting the number of letters in the title and
in the meta tags. If your web page title or the meta tags contain too many
filter words, you might reach the character limit before your important keywords
begin.<br />
<br />
<b>Some words can get you banned on search engines</b><br />
While filter words might dilute the effectiveness of your other keywords,
some words might get your web page banned on search engines. These words are
called stop words.<br />
Adult words and phrases that contain sexual content are the most common stop
words. However, some search engines build custom stop word lists to penalize web
sites that use "keyword stuffing". Some sites use the same keyword over and over
on their pages to get a high rank for that keyword on search engines, even if it
is not related to their content.<br />
Of course, search engines try to find those sites and they penalize web pages
that use keyword stuffing. Unfortunately, some sites are penalized although
their webmasters didn't try to spam the search engines just because they use a
keyword too many times.<br />
That's why keyword analysis and the right keyword density is very important
for a successful web site. If the keyword density is too low, you won't get a
good ranking, if it's too high, your site might get accused of keyword
stuffing.<br />
<br />
<b>Summary</b><br />
<ol>
<li class="normal">Use your most important keywords at the beginning of the title,
meta tags, link texts and body text.<br /><br />
</li>
<li class="normal">Avoid using filter words to increase the effectiveness of your
keywords.<br /><br />
</li>
<li class="normal">Make sure that your web pages have the right keyword density
and don't contain stop words. </li>
</ol>

<tr><td><div align="left">
Some <a href="http://duckprince.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO" target="_blank">search engine optimization</a> companies and software developers use
unethical tricks and techniques to artificially boost the search engine rankings
of a web site. This dilutes the quality of search results and the accuracy of
search results becomes questionable.<br />
For this reason, the search engines are continuously trying to trace out the
spam techniques which webmasters might be using and penalize or ban them.<br />
They continue to reconstruct their algorithms to prevent spammers from
flooding the results page with irrelevant or low quality content.</div>
<i>If you use a web site promotion tool that uses these unethical tricks and
techniques, you'll put your web business at severe risk.</i><br />
<div align="left">
<b>Axandra tools use only ethical <a href="http://duckprince.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO" target="_blank">SEO</a> methods.</b><br />
Their products use only ethical search engine optimization methods. They use
only techniques that produce lasting results and that don't offend search
engines.<br />
Search engines consider the following search engine optimization techniques
as SPAM. For that reason, Axandra products DO NOT use or promote them:<br />
<ul>
<li>automatically generated doorway pages
</li>
<li>cloaking and false redirects
</li>
<li>keyword stuffing
</li>
<li>hidden text or hidden links
</li>
<li>pages loaded with irrelevant words
</li>
<li>duplicated content on multiple pages
</li>
<li>misspelling of well-known web sites
</li>
<li>unrelated and centralized link farms
</li>
<li>other methods that try to trick search engines </li>
</ul>
You might get short term results with these techniques but it's very likely
that your site will be banned from search engines if you use one of these
techniques. You'll put your web business at severe risk if you use one of these
methods.</div>

<b>Ethical search engine optimization is about everyone winning</b><br />
Ethical search engine optimization leads to a symbiotic relationship:<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Search engines:</i> They win as they are provided with pages that are
easy to understand and that contain the quality information that their visitors
search for.<br /><br />
</li>
<li><i>Searchers</i>: They win as they are getting what they ask for from the
search engines. They search for "green widgets" and get a page about green
widgets.<br /><br />
</li>
<li><i>Web site owners:</i> They win as they are getting quality visitors who
are interested in what their web site has to offer. </li>

The key to reducing injury estimates as effectively unplanned restore expenses is to determine prospective difficulties before they become key repairs and correct them. The tool of option for residence administration is an EAM/CMMS.
