Use a generic Robots Tag on all pages that you want indexed.
This instructs the robots to crawl the page. The following is the
generic robots tag.
8. Quality Content:
Quality content will bring people back and as people always
want to tell others about a good thing it will get you forward
links from other sites. Your content should be written with your
keyword phrases in mind
9. Quantity Content:
The more the better. Just remember your content will need to
be both quantity and quality.
10. Try to Avoid Dynamic URLs:
Some search engines may have a problem indexing them.
Create static pages whenever possible. Avoid symbols in your
URLs like the "?" or avoid query strings “?”
11.
Frames:
Many search engines can't follow frame links. Make sure you
provide an alternative method for the search engines to enter
and index your site. For more information read search engine
frame.
12. Site Map:
A good menu system is really a site map. A well constructed
menu system that is on each page and contains a link to very
page on the website is all you need.
13. Site Themes:
All of the top 3 search engines look for site themes or a
common topic when they crawl a website. If your site is about
one specific topic you will rank better than if you have more
than one theme or topic on your site. By using similar keyword
phrases in each page the search engines will detect a theme
this will be to your advantage.
14. Robots.txt File:
While this file is not really required it should be included so that
the search engine bots don't get 404 errors when they look for
it. Just include the following 2 lines and drop it in the root.
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Search Engines are very clever but after all they are software and not human who will read the
content of their interest. If you make your site too complex then Search Engine would not be able
to parse the content of your site properly and finally indexing would not be proficient which will
result in a low rank.
The genuine page content should have a keyword density of about 10% approximate and should
weigh in at about 200 words - but there are as many opinions about this as there are SEO experts.
Some say keyword density should be 5% and some say it should be 20%. 10% works for me.
Guidelines which should be followed while designing a web page.
XML sitemap lists URLs (world wide web addresses) for your website in a xml code. See below
the example of an url in xml.
IMPORTANT NOTE PLEASE READ FIRST:
follow ( and ) as <> respectively IN BELOW XML CODE because my blogs is not
supporting this bracket tag . but u have to change them when u will use.
( means < and ) means > ok plz correct them...
XML site map is mainly for search engine crawler not for visitor. It allows webmasters to
inform search engines about URLs in your website for easy indexing. Submitting a XML sitemap
to search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN will not only help your website being
indexing rapidly and proficiently but also increase your website’s visibilities in search engines as
well.
Copyrigted Content:
carbon copy Content is a black hat seo technique. Search engines always looking for unique
content. When duplicated content detected by search engines crawler indexed only one web
page, other probably finish up in the dreaded supplemental index and search engines will treat as
spam. Duplicate content are not rank in SERP’s (Searching result pages).
Similarly doorway pages are also very bad technique. Doorway pages are linked to internal
pages of website that call for action from the visitor. To navigate the multiple doorway pages you
have to create hallway pages. Search engines looks doorway pages as duplicate pages and not
rank doorways pages in SERP’s.
2. Meta Tags
Hidden HTML content or invisible contents of site.
Meta Description
The Meta description used to explain the content of your page sincerely and concisely and be
( 174 character) 1 or 2 sentences, 3 at most.
3. Meta Keywords
Meta Keywords a short list of words that inform of the main center of the page. Meta keywords
have been so altered in the past that there are few if any search engines that take any heed of
them.
Doorway Pages:
A doorway page is basically a “fake” page that the user will never see. It is purely for search
engine spiders, and attempts to trick them into indexing the site higher. Read more about
doorway pages.
Link Farming.
The process of exchanging reciprocal links with Web sites in order to increase search engine
optimization. The idea behind link farming is to increase the number of sites that link to yours
because search engines such as Google rank sites according to, among other things, the quality
and quantity of sites that link to yours. In theory, the more sites that link to yours, the higher your
ranking in the search engine results will be because the more links indicate a higher level of
popularity among users of the Internet. However, search engines such as Google consider link
farming as a form of spam and have been implementing procedures to banish sites that
participate in link farming, so the term link farming has garnered negative connotations across
the Internet.
Black Hat SEO is the use of unfair techniques to promote a site on search engine listing. These
techniques may work but the results are likely to be temporary. These sites are often banned if
the search engines get wind of these unethical practices.
Keyword Stuffing: Overburdening a site with too many keywords at the most unwarranted
places is a common black hat technique. Eventually, search engines might ban sites that do this.
Invisible Text: Another method is putting lists of keywords in white text on a white background
in order feed different on-page content to search engines and different to users actually browsing
the site. It is easy for search engines to detect this.
Doorway or Gateway Pages: Some web developers use the doorway page – a fake page that the
user will never see and which would be only visible to search engine spiders. These doorway
pages are optimized heavily for search engines and normal users never see it as they are
automatically redirected to a different page (you can do that based on user-agent check). It can be
easily detected by search engines.
Seo Smo
This is obvious but needs to be mentioned, SEO is about SMO is about the "new" social media sources that have
search engines, primarily the big 3, Google, Yahoo, and crept up, including blogs, bookmarking websites, media
Microsoft (GYM). sharing websites etc
SEO you might be looking to sell something. With SMO you might be looking to build community
with SEO there is not as much participation With SMO you should actively participate in the same
activities that your audience does

Link building
Building Link Popularity is a great way to help your site gain competitive PageRank (PR).
A little care in developing links will go a long way in getting your site ranked high in Search
Engines.
PageRank of the linking page PageRank of the linking page, one of the most important factors,
determines how much valuable importance is passed on to your page.
The higher the PageRank of the page linking to you, the higher the value you get.
Each link to your Web site is considered a vote. If your neighbour states in public that you are
very trustworthy, or that you are his best friend (Google PageRank 2), this is of course a less
important vote than when the President of your country says the same (Google PageRank 9).
It is therefore as important to evaluate the total number of outgoing links on a links page, as it is,
to evaluate the PR of the linking page.
This is where many people often falter, as they usually insist on getting a link from a high PR
page, but if that page has 100 outgoing links, your page would only get 1/100th of that value.
Industry relevance
Search engines give higher importance to links pointing to your site from your own industry
segment as opposed to those from unrelated industries.
A link on a site about motor sports will do very little good for a restaurant site, however a link in
a food services directory will likely have high relevance.
Page relevance
Most sites offering links have several categories listed on their sites. Try to get a link from a
category that closely matches your own industry.
For instance, if you have a site related to hotels, then, on your partner site, a tickets site for
example, try to identify a resource directory pertaining to hotels, resorts, reservations, vacation
packages, travel, tourism, food and beverages, etc.
An algorithm called “Applied Semantics” determines the industry relevance of a page within a
site. The Applied Semantics algorithm studies various keywords on a Web page and tries to
determine the industry or business segment of each page. Applied Semantics estimates the
industry segments that are relevant to a particular page.
Anchor-Text
Anchor Text is the visible hyperlinked text on a Web page.
Since anchor text is very important, make sure that your most important keywords appear in the
anchor text from the link pointing to your site.
It tells search engines what the page is about. Used wisely, it boosts your rankings in search
engines, especially in Google.
If you use "click here" as the words people are going to click on, you're telling people the page is
about the subject "click here". If you use "Part 2" as the anchor text, your telling the search
engines the page is discussing "part 2".
You wouldn't want to rank highly for "click here" or "Part 2".
However, if your site is all about purple widgets, you don't want only "purple widgets" to be used
as the phrase in every link to your site. Over-optimizing like that would create an unnatural
pattern.
Examples of dynamic links include URLs containing symbols such as “?” or “&”.
These are some of the tricks unethical webmasters use. While such a site may claim to have
placed a link to your Web page, in effect they are not giving you any benefit.
Redirected links
A link that is first redirected to another page within your partner site before pointing to your site
is a redirected link.
You should watch out for such links, as search engines do not give weight to redirected links. It
is very unlikely that your site would draw any benefit from a redirected link.
Website Optimization
Once you have chosen your keyphrases, you need to optimize your pages for those keyphrases.
You do that by positioning your keyphrases in strategic locations within your page. What follows
is a checklist of tips and steps you can follow to optimize your page:
* Create a descriptive title for your page: Your web page title is very important because search
engines will display it as link text in the search results. The title must include your main
keyphrases.
* If you want to use your company name in your page title, unless you are a big company like
Microsoft or Coca Cola don't start your page title with the name of your company. Start with
your keyphrases.
* Keep your keyphrase together. Don't split the words.
* Make the title short (8 words or less).
Search engines rarely use the Keyword Meta Tags any more (Google ignores them). However,
place a list of your main and secondary keywords in the Keyword Meta Tag of your pages, just in
case search engines decide to use them again.
The Description Meta Tag is still important, since some search engines use them to go with the
results link. As its name implies, the Description Meta Tag must describe your site. Remember
to:
* Use your keyphrases (main and secondary) in your Description Meta Tag.
* Make your description concise and professional. Avoid using hype.
* Make it short (25 words or less).
* Keep your keyphrases together.
It is important to use your keyphrases on your page, since this will help the search engines
determine what your page is about, and its relevance to your chosen keywords:
* Use your keyphrases several times, and place them as close to the top of the page as possible.
* Place your keyphrases between Header Tags (H1, H2 or H3) in the first two paragraphs of your
page. o Place your keyphrases in bold type phase at least once.
* Repeat your keyphrases often to increase your keyphrase density. Repeating your keyphrases
between 5 to 10 times for every 100 words in your page is considered effective. You must also
take into account your visitors: they should be able to read your page fluently and effortlessly
and the text must not sound awkward. (Remember that ultimately it is your readers who will
decide if your page is worth the time they spend on it).
* If you use a left navigation bar, the search engine will read it before the body of your page.
Make sure you include your most important keywords there, too.
* You must make your page easy to navigate by the search engines. Search engines heavily favor
text over graphics, and HTML over other editing formats.
* Use text heavily. Avoid placing text in graphic format since the search engines won't be able to
read it.
* Avoid frames. Search engines have trouble following them, and they may index only the
framed content page and not the navigation frame.
* Avoid Flash and JavaScript: search engines don't follow either one very well. If you use Flash,
make an HTML version of your site available to your readers and the search engines. If you use a
JavaScript navigation menu, include an alternate text menu at the bottom of the page, so it can be
followed by the search engines.
* Create a Site Map: that includes all the pages in your site, and place a link to it from your
homepage. When the search engine follows your site map link, it will find and index all the
pages in your site!
* Make sure that all your internal pages link to your homepage.
* Don't try to describe all your products or services in one page. It will confuse the search engine
and dilute your page's relevance. Instead, create different very focused pages, each with its own
content and keyphrases, and optimize them too.

Reactions:
Selection of Specific Keywords
You must now select the right keywords for each of your individual pages (keywords, or search
terms, are what you expect search engine users will type in the search box to find a page like
yours).
The best keywords will be those that are popular search terms (terms that people actually search
for), and that clearly describe the purpose and the content of your pages. They will also have to
be keywords for which there is relatively low competition.
There is no sense in trying to optimize your pages for super-competitive keywords where you
don't stand a chance of ranking well (most one-word keyphrases fall into this category: for
example, it would be impossible to rank well for the keyword 'book'). It would be better to target
phrases like:
The more specific your keyphrase, the easier it will be for your site to rank well. You should
therefore target keyphrases with three or more words to significantly improve your chances.
Choosing the wrong keywords can throw off your entire search engine optimization strategy. It
will force you to re-work your pages for new keywords and wait for the search engines to re-
crawl your site. For this reason, a few hours trying to pick the right keywords is time well spent.
To start, take a look at your pages. Look at them carefully and write down the words and phrases
that best define your site. Try to build a list of two or three word phrases. Once you have
developed this list of potential keyphrases you are ready for the next step: to analyze the demand
and supply for those keyphrases, and choose the best ones (those with good demand and not
enough supply).
We will first check the demand for your selected keyphrases using a popular free tool:
Overture's Search Term Suggestion Tool:
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
This tool will show you how many people search for those terms in a month's period in Overture
, a popular pay per click search engine. This tool will show you only those searches conducted in
Overture, however, the relative popularity of search terms will be very similar in other search
engines as well (there are also other more sophisticated tools like Wordtracker , the tool of choice
of most search engine optimization experts).
In addition to telling you if your selected keyphrases are popular search terms, Overture's search
term tool will show you other keyphrases that you may not have thought about, which may be
even more relevant to your site.
For example, if your first keyphrase was "Italian Restaurant", the Search Term Suggestion Tool
will also display other popular related search terms, like:
You may also try other keyphrases, for example: "Italian Cuisine", and the Search Tool may
come up with more specific keyphrases, like:
What you have done is to validate and enlarge your pool of popular, in-demand, potential
keyphrases for your web page. The next step is to check the supply, or, in other words, how much
competition there is for your selected keywords in the actual search engines.
Now, get your list of keyphrases, go to Google ( http://www.google.com ) and type-in each of
your keyphrases in the search box. Enter your keyphrases within quotation marks (to filter-out
less relevant results), and see how many results each individual query produces, making a note of
those with a relatively small number of results (less competition). You will stick with the
keyphrase that:
If "Gourmet Italian Restaurant" is the keyphrase that best meets these three criteria, it will
become your primary keyphrase. To get even better results, you can choose a second keyphrase
to make your page more relevant to an even more specific niche. For example, if your restaurant
is in Miami, you can consider "Miami" a second keyphrase (also called a 'qualifier'). Once you
have chosen the keyphrases for your main page (homepage) do the same for the other pages on
your site.
Spider. This program downloads web pages just like a web browser. The difference is that a
browser displays the information presented on each page (text, graphics, etc.) while a spider does
not have any visual components and works directly with the underlying HTML code of the page.
You may already know that there is an option in standard web browsers to view source HTML
code.
Crawler. This program finds all links on each page. Its task is to determine where the spider
should go either by evaluating the links or according to a predefined list of addresses. The
crawler follows these links and tries to find documents not already known to the search engine.
Indexer. This component parses each page and analyzes the various elements, such as text,
headers, structural or stylistic features, special HTML tags, etc.
Database. This is the storage area for the data that the search engine downloads and analyzes.
Sometimes it is called the index of the search engine.
Results Engine. The results engine ranks pages. It determines which pages best match a user's
query and in what order the pages should be listed. This is done according to the ranking
algorithms of the search engine. It follows that page rank is a valuable and interesting property
and any seo specialist is most interested in it when trying to improve his site search results. In
this article, we will discuss the seo factors that influence page rank in some detail.
Web server. The search engine web server usually contains a HTML page with an input field
where the user can specify the search query he or she is interested in. The web server is also
responsible for displaying search results to the user in the form of an HTML page.
Are you intersted in finding the way to increase web site traffic?
Have you used any search engine optimization on your website?
Before you do any expensive web advertising or build an expensive
new site try using some simple search engine optimization
techniques on your website to increase your web site traffic. Search
engine optimization is the best way to increase web site traffic and
thier online customer for thier business and increase your rank on
the search engine results pages.
Then, you're going to need some link building services. To boost your rankings, you need links
to and from your site. Without link building you'll never be able to move higher and really
become competitive in your area. However, you want to be careful about the types of link
building services you choose. Remember that ethical SEO services always turn out better results
in the end.
Finally, you may want to include some Flash web design on your site. Flash web design will
increase the interactivity of your site and throw in some multimedia aspects that will grab
visitors' attention and make them want to return in the near future.
