A few tips to make site indexing




The most effective SEO technique is to index the pages of new website.

There are lot of important issues, one should take care.

We are providing a simple guide steps to help you in this regard.


1. Just design you website structure, create your content pages (don’t worry if they are not completed yet) and publish them swiftly.

Because, the process of indexing, new websites takes about two months.

So, this technique helps you saving time.


2. Since, you have already designed your web site structure and contents (may be incomplete or with minimal info) as I said earlier.

Now, create a sitemap for the site and submit this to Google Sitemap Service.

Yahoo has lately created a similar service to Google Sitemap and so also submits your website to it.

There are lots of online free site map generation services available.

Here are few of them, you may use.

✔ Create your Google Sitemap Online By: XML Sitemaps

✔ ROR Sitemap Generator By: ROR Web

✔ Site Map Builder By: sitemapbuilder


3. Third step is to submit your website to some Open Directory Project; DMOZ is good and is used as basis by many search engines like Google, MSN and Alexa.

This process again takes several months. So, the first step plays a good here too.


4. There are three major search engines namely Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Submit all your pages for inclusion in these three major search engines and keep submitting your site pages to other search engines on a regular basis.

Do it manually or you may use some search engine submission software or service which may help you by automatic submission.


5. There are lot of SEO Friendly Directories on the web.

Some are paid services and some allows free submissions of URL.

Submit your website to these SEO Friendly Directories.

All major search engines crawls these Directories frequently.

This will help you both a catalyst for the indexing of the web pages and also move a step forward in Page rank Building.


6. You may start Building links using Reciprocal Link exchange programs.

The text links should not only point to your website homepage but also to other pages down in the website page structure.


7. Posting on Google Groups advertising for your website is something very helpful in building good Page Rank.

The posts should include at least two links to your website.


8. Participate in topic discussion on other sites is also a great technique to make your existence strong and do include your site URL in the reference section.


Is SEO optimization a waste of money ?



Is Search Engine Optimization worth the SEO and the ROI debacle?

Why do companies fail to initiate or implement sound strategies?

The growing natural search engine optimization industry has enormous potential, but major obstacles include lingering labor shortages, credibility issues, tactical ignorance and limited ROI accountability, according to a new study.

SEO industries grow in perspective and helps companies make strategic choices in the face of troublesome tactics and measurement failings.

Studies show that Search Engine Optimization spending is on the rise, but it may mean that marketers are trying out search engine optimization – not necessarily succeeding at it.

Many companies attempt Search Engine Optimization, but clearly they fall short in the rankings game and the traffic that comes with strong visibility.

The industry is more than 10 years old, but some companies still haven’t launched their first SEO campaign.

Those who are engaged don’t keep up with the program or miss vital sections of their websites because Search Engine Optimization is viewed as a part-time effort.

It’s tough for ROI to emerge as a top priority if the practice of SEO is seen as a one time event or something the webmaster gets to when they have a chance.

Companies should look at how they measure up to to the competition for reasonable search terms on major search engines. 

At some point, they need to decide how much it matters if they’re not at the top.

Few secrets to get additional income from your site


So you have a nice looking website, which has good content and is well optimised, however you are looking to earn some additional income from the site. 

What are the next steps you can take to make this happen?

This article gives useful tips and advice, which I hope will answer this question for you.

I have a large number of websites and am eager to learn about the latest website promotion methods, and about ways to increase your websites page rank in google.

One way of earning money from your site is by joining one or more affiliate schemes.

Commissions vary, however if you have a high traffic site then you can do very well from these schemes.


Joining a program like google adsense is something which I prefer.

This is where google place targeted adverts on your website and basically you earn money when people click on one of the ads.

Depending on the website subject matter, these clicks can earn quite a high rate of commission. I had one click, on one of my hair loss websites which earned over ten dollars.

This is quite rare and on average you will probably earn about forty cents per click.

If you have a large number of content based, useful and interesting websites this can soon add up.


How much you earn will depend on how much time and work you put into each website.

In my opinion hard work pays off and even though you may hear about certain ways to cheat the search engines, such as by using hidden pages or by joining a link building scheme, this will in the long term do you more harm than good.

The search engines employ some of the top people and they are likely to find you out, ban your website from their engine and you also risk being kicked off the google adsense program altogether.


The hard work I wrote about earlier, is by promoting your website the natural way.

I believe the key is to build up the number of backward links your website has, that is basically the number of other websites that link to you.

These links should be built gradually and I would certainly not ever purchase a hundred backward links, from for example ebay.

Where possible you should try and obtain these links from sites from your own sector or industry.


The best way to increase this number of backward links is by writing articles. 

You are able to include a link to your website in the article and when other webmasters include your article on their website or blog, this then gives you a one-way link.

One-way links are the most powerful form of backward link in the eyes of the search engine.

I have been writing articles for quite a while now and it has proven to easily be, the most useful form of website promotion I have found so far.


In conclusion you are able to earn easy cash from your website/s.

The more work you put in, the more you are likely to earn. 

I always see things in the long term, if I work very hard for a number of years, I will eventually have a few websites with good page rank and that is when I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

In the mean time I will treat any income as a form of pocket money.




Online advertising options


Your online business will likely require more advertising than a contemporary business downtown, yet some new to the world of online business do not spend the time and money to advertise their business

Appropriately and are, in turn, loosing money.

Your online business is crammed into the world wide web along with thousands of others selling the same product or service as yourself.

Consider this scenario: In your hometown you want to open an art supply store. In that same town there are thousands of art supply stores.

In order for your business to be successful, it will have to stand out in some way from the others.

This is exactly what is happening when a business is opened online.

There is so much competition, that you must take drastic measures to ensure that you are getting noticed.

Advertising can be done in so many ways online.

These are some of the most successful ways that you can promote your online business.


Advertising in e-zines is a popular way to promote your online business.

Ezines are the magazines of the internet; they written on a particular subject and read by those interested in that subject.

Therefore, ezine readers are already potential customers and advertising your site in ezines that are related to your business is almost guaranteed to help drive traffic to your site and increase sales for your product.

You should be sure when advertising in ezines that you are not advertising along side


Competitors.

Ask the ezine producer if there is a policy concerning posting competing ads. It is also a good idea to subscribe to the ezine before making a decision about whether or not to advertise in it.

An ezine that runs fewer ads is a better choice than one that runs many ads.

You can look at the online Directory of Ezines to find publications that are relevant to your company.


Pay-per-click programs are an excellent way to advertise your business without taking a risk that you have advertised in the wrong place.

With pay-per-click, you can advertise you site and only pay for those who click the link and go to your site.

Another popular pay-per program is the pay-per-lead program that allows you to only pay for leads.

Usually this means that you pay for only those who download a trail, fill out a form or enter a sweepstakes; whatever you choose.

Lastly you can display pay-per-click banner ads in which your company would be allowed to place a banner on their site and you will be charged for every click that your banner receives.


Opt-In email is a great way to advertise your business, however it is expensive and it can be misused very easily. 

Using opt-in emails, you would submit your sales copy to the company that will in turn email it to those on their mailing list. 

You should be very careful since some of the companies that advertise their mailing lists as opt-in email service is sometimes really spam.

It is essential that you have a perfect and effective sales letter when using opt-in mailing lists.

Without and effective sales copy your money and time have been wasted.


Free link exchange service is the easiest way to promote your site


To manually exchange links with other Internet websites can be an extremely slow, tedious process that may take several months of hard work. 

The goal in free link exchange is not only to enhance your Internet website traffic, but to increase website link popularity.

Many programs that offer free link exchange have already attracted a multitude of members searching for link partners.

Spending an endless amount of time searching for link partners, checking back links on the Internet websites of your partners or even uploading link pages is not necessary.

The automated free link exchange services add new link exchange partners on a daily basis, update your own directory pages and assure that your link partner is linking to you regularly.

Whether you’re the savvy computer programmer or a novice without a clue on how to exchange links, with free link exchange, a team of experts are able to activate your link in the directory absolutely at no cost.

Not only is coding or Internet webmaster experience unnecessary, but your website can be active in less than 24 hours in the free link exchange directory.

Several reasons occur for choosing an automated free link exchange program:


- No email exchange is required to establish new link partners.

- More than a thousand link partners can be added instantly with signup.

- This is usually a 24 hour/ 7 day a week courtesy.

- It doesn’t have to be a strenuous task to stress over link exchange.

- Automated tools are operated on fast servers. 


- An additional burden doesn’t to be placed on your own server.

- There’s generally a 100% guarantee for two-way linking, otherwise your link partner’s website will be suspended.


It’s a vital fact in free link exchange that search engines rank Internet websites simply by pointing to a website with a specific keyword the higher the Internet website ranks for that search engine term.

Other factors do indeed influence this; however, it is chiefly link that will determine the ranking in free link exchange.

Links are very important to boost your page rank that will certainly enhance your Internet website traffic which will then increase your business and income.

Hence, the quality of your own links is quite significant with the links from relevant sites and pages.

The secret is in knowing that it’s usually about the quantity as well in free link exchange.

The myth of SEO


Search Engine Optimization. 

Big words.

Sounds Important.

What is it?

If you do a search in google for the web definition of search engine optimization, you get a lot of different results.

Some simply say that search engine optimization is the generic term for making sure your site is optimized to appear as one of the top ranking web sites on a search.

Others get more detailed with their definition and say search engine optimization is the term used to describe the marketing technique of preparing a web site to enhance its chances of being ranked in the top results of a search engine once a relevant search is undertaken.

A number of factors are important when optimizing a web site, including the content and structure of the web site’s copy and page layout, the HTML meta-tags and the submission process.

Is it important?

That also depends on which definition you believe and who you ask that question to.

If you ask someone who runs a business and charges for search engine optimization, they will tell you it is the most important thing you will ever do for your website.

At each SEO website, they will tell you they are the number 1 SEO company on the web, even though each of them has a completely different method of optimizing your website.

Let me summarize it for you .

Its too wide to understand it and not to understand it!

My Checklist:


1. Be conscious of the keywords you wish to target with each webpage you build. 

Write your text for the reader, then go back and add your keywords without destroying the flow of your text.


2. Make sure the website is easy to navigate and user-friendly. 

Don’t assume the customer knows the web site as well as you do. 

Make it simple. 

Make it easy to find the buy button!


3. Once the website is built, quit worrying about the newest search engine trick or optimization technique as some like to call it.


4. Search for blogs and forums with related topics and sign up for them and participate in discussions with your link in your signature line.


5. Write articles about related topics and submit them everywhere or buy a service .

 If you cannot write the articles, hire someone to do it for you.


6. Don’t do link trades with websites that have less traffic than you do. 

Buy links on websites that have more traffic than you and are on a topic related to your products or services.


This article in no way claims to have listed all the ways you can use to promote your website. 

What I have done here is tried to explain to you what is or is not important to creating and maintaining a successful.


Preparation for improvement in SEO


Content is the king, this is not to be forgotten ever. 

Any user coming to your website is there to get some information.

If that information is hard to get, user will leave your web site and go to Google to find out an alternate source.

Some researchers even claim that restricting front size by using CSS, where the design specifies a fixed font size value is another thing that irritates users who like to customize the front size as per their visibility preferences.

Always keeping target user segment in mind while deciding the font-size.

Using the key information-carrying terms in the anchor text itself to explain what users will find at the other end of the link.

This will also aid in search engine optimization.

It always tries to avoid opening pages in new windows.

A lot of PC owners have their pop-ups blocked, while the ones who don’t, feel lost when a new window open.

Web Design Services uses the media elements like flash , HTML 5 and other elements such as video, MP3 etc.

A flash can be used to emphasize key information or better still to demonstrate some functionality.

Search engines and web crawler


If you’re doing any type of business on the internet than search engines like Google and Yahoo! could play a large role in the success or failure of your business. 

Even though most internet user have experience using search engines, many don’t know how the engines work.

For website owners it is important to understand how, at least at a high level, search engines work so they can take advantage of the website traffic that only search engines can deliver.

Search Engines are special sites on the Web that are designed to help people find information stored on other sites.

There are differences in the ways various Search Engines work , but they all perform three basic tasks:

– They search the Internet or select pieces of the Internet based on important words,

– They keep an index of the words they find, and where they find them, and

– They allow users to look for words or combinations of words found in that index.


Early Search Engines held an index of a few hundred thousand pages and documents, and received maybe one or two thousand inquiries each day.

Today, a top Search Engine will index hundreds of millions of pages, and respond to tens of millions of queries per day.

Before a Search Engine can tell you where a file or document is, it must be found.

To find information on the hundreds of millions of Web pages that exist, a Search Engine employs special software robots, called spiders, to build lists of the words found on Web sites.

When a spider is building its lists, the process is called web crawling.

In order to build and maintain a useful list of words, a Search Engine’s spiders have to look at a lot of pages. How does any spider start its travels over the Web?

The usual starting points are lists of heavily used servers and very popular pages.

The spider will begin with a popular site, indexing the words on its pages and following every link found within the site.

In this way, the spidering system quickly begins to travel, spreading out across the most widely used portions of the Web.

To increase the likelyhood that the spiders find your website make sure you are listed on high ranked websites like Merchant Circle.

You can create a free business page and blog that will not only increase your chances of being found but also be another place for potential visitors to find about about your website.

Once the spiders have completed the task of finding information on Web pages, the Search Engine must store the information in a way that makes it useful.

There are two key components involved in making the gathered data accessible to users :

– The information stored with the data, and

– The method by which the information is indexed.


In the simplest case, a Search Engine could just store the word and the URL where it was found.

In reality, this would make for an engine of limited use, since there would be no way of telling whether the word was used in an important or a trivial way on the page, whether the word was used once or many times or whether the page contained links to other pages containing the word.

In other words, there would be no way of building the ranking list that tries to present the most useful pages at the top of the list of search results.

To make for more useful results, most Search Engines store more than just the word and URL.

A Search Engine might store the number of times that the word appears on a page.

The engine might assign a weight to each entry, with increasing values assigned to words as they appear near the top of the document, in sub-headings, in links, in the META tags or in the title of the page.

Each commercial Search Engine has a different formula for assigning weight to the words in its index.

This is one of the reasons that a search for the same word on different Search Engines will produce different lists, with the pages presented in different orders.

You can get a customized Page Critic Analysis Report from Webs 4 Small Business that tells you how your webpages should be set up to make sure give the search engines what they are looking for when they review your page.

An index has a single purpose: it allows information to be found as quickly as possible.

There are quite a few ways for an index to be built, but one of the most effective ways is to build a hash table. In hashing, a formula is applied to attach a numerical value to each word.

The formula is designed to evenly distribute the entries across a predetermined number of divisions.

This numerical distribution is different from the distribution of words across the alphabet, and that is the key to a hash table’s effectiveness.

When a person requests a search on a keyword or phrase, the Search Engine software searches the index for relevant information.

The software then provides a report back to the searcher with the most relevant web pages listed first.

Not sure what keywords you should use?

Picking the right, or wrong ones, can make or break your chances at online success.

Consider getting a customized 'key word report' from webs for amall business that tells you which keywords you should and should not consider for your site.

These keywords are specific to your website not a generic list of keywords.

So, why are search engines important to business website owners?

Simple.

You need traffic and Search Engines have lots of it.

And, their purpose is to drive traffic to sites that they think match their visitors’ needs.

The way to get a portion of that traffic, is to optimize your website .

That way when a someone searches for a keyword that is relevant to your website, the search engines includes a link to your website in the search results.

That puts traffic and potential visitors just a click away from you website.


Getting your site Indexed In Alexa



Although Alexa’s search results are driven by Google, this is a definite must in your search engine marketing plan.

The reason is that Alexa will provide statistics about your website that no other search engine or web directory will provide.

These statistics include:

- Your site ranking on the internet

- What sites are linking to yours

- Detailed traffic statistics

- Site thumbnails

- Site Speed


These are just a few examples.

You can also use Alexa to search for your keywords.

This will tell you who your competition is for the keywords you have selected.

You can more carefully study your competition, find out who is linking to your competition, and use what you learn to raise your rankings in the search engines, as well as find better keywords for your website.

Alexa also has its own crawler.

Eventhough you site may show up in the search results powered by Google, you still want to have Alexa crawl your site.

Alexa, like Google, may discover your site on its own.

However, it’s been my experience that Alexa only updates my site when I visit Alexa and make updates.

This includes the thumbnails.

The first step that you should take before submitting to Alexa is to type in the domain name of your site to see if you are listed.

If you are listed, study the thumbnail for your site and see if needs to be updated.

You should also check your site description, as well as contact information, and if it needs to be updated, update it.

Alexa will require that you verify your website in one of two ways.

The first is to enter your email address, and Alexa will send you a confirmation email.

The other way is that you can verified is to create an info.txt file and upload it to the root directory of your website.

You can then click the verification link and Alexa will verify your site.

If your site isn’t listed for some reason, you will need to submit.

Alexa gives detailed instructions, as well as information on creating a robots.txt file.

If you want to find out who your competition is, and get a competitive edge, then Alexa is an indispensible tool to help you.

Use the detailed information you’ll find on this site, and you can easily raise your rankings in the search engines and get more traffic.

Search engine optimization secrets finally revealed


Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which webmasters or online business owners utilize strategic copy on their websites.

Together with offsite linking strategies to increase their website’s status in the eyes of the search engines.

As the internet has grown, so equally fast has the competition for the best search engine positions.

This has created the search engine optimisation market, which helps webmasters , to improve the exposure of your web pages to targetted internet users.

And therefore a better understanding of the fundamental elements of Search Engine Optimization is vital for any online business’ success.

Ok. 

So what is search engine optimization?

Firstly, to begin with, understand that making use of effective seo techniques will improve the page rank of your website.

This is one of Google’s measures of the importance of a site on the internet, and whether or not it is considered an ‘authority’ site.

There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently.

This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fail to provide content that visitors find interesting.

The bottom line is that sites which provide content that is interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days.

So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it.

You’ll surely then be a step closer to achieving high page rank (and more importantly high positions on the search engines) through search engine optimization.

There are secrets on how to rank highly with the major search engines .

But effective search engine optimisation is now an immense task.

It is because the search engine algorithms are constantly changing and over 100 factors (at least) go into deciding where a web page should rank for a particular search term.

So the ‘secrets’ are also constantly in a state of flux.

Search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN, are in the business of providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was being searched for.

To do this they utilise sophisticated technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase.

Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn’t relate to the search term, or if the results are too old.

People expect up-to-date and fresh information that is readily useful to them.

And so the search engines are constantly on guard for ‘sneaky’ search engine optimisation techniques that don’t return their users with ‘useful’ results.

Updating your website everyday and adding great new material will help you to get noticed by the search engines.

The bottom line is that if you are going to sell any type of product or service online (or even if you just want more visitors for your personal website) .

It definitely pays to optimize your website for the search engines, in order to quickly provide a boost of traffic, sales and hopefully profits!

Face it. 

Over 90% of your business will likely come directly from search engine results.

And for that reason, it is absolutely vital to optimize your site and attract as much relevant traffic as possible.
