All You Need for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

[Webnauts]

Do SEO Yourself (Tutorial)

SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization". It is the process of analyzing your potential design and problems for search engines indexing and positioning. In other words, making your web site and its content attractive, relevant and visible to search engines and web searchers.

There is nothing worse than having a beautiful web site with excellent written content, though you still lose traffic or you even keep potential visitors away, while your site cannot be found.

Before you begin optimizing your pages for Search Engines, consider that the following search engine optimization techniques are SPAM!

* automatically generated doorway pages
* cloaking and false redirects
* keyword stuffing
* hidden text or hidden links
* pages loaded with irrelevant words
* duplicated content on multiple pages
* misspelling of well-known web sites
* unrelated and centralized link farms
* other methods that try to trick search engines

If you use one of the above techniques, you might get short term results, but it's most likely that your site will be banned from search engines, and therefore you will put your business at severe risk.

You will have more success, if you will optimize your site for humans, and not machines.

Good luck with Search Engine Optimization.

Excellent posts man. The really nice thing is your emphasizing on the word SPAM and that's good that you have mentioned it several times for the new readers to pay attention to.

There are still so many people who believe by stuffing their pages with keywords and adding too many links (that all mean SPAM), they can get to the top of Google, I hope they reconsider by following your points.

[marketraise2007]

Search engine optimization is misunderstood and despised by those who have had consistently failed at using it, or have been repeatedly beaten by those who were successful with it. These failures often stem from not understanding the dynamics of the behind the scenes battles that go on for search positioning. It is also a shame to see bright new folks not understanding the field in which they work. It is one thing to be ambitious and competitive - it is quite another to be outright delusional about what you can accomplish. Success is often created by knowing where to start, and how to scale, and which battles will be lost before they are ever fought. A smart general (or SEO) never fights a battle unless they KNOW they can win. This post is intended to be a guide to understanding the fight that takes place for every single search result, and how to know which battles have acceptable odds based on the competition.

I do not think I need to think for a second about competing with an SEO with such title, comments and meta tags: :

Doesn't Google recommend max. 100 characters including spaces for the title title? How come that here are 369 characters?

Just my ... you know what.

[Webnauts]

Additionally I would like to mention, that I do not even need to think about compeeting with an SEO(?) who has 341 pages indexed in Google, and which 297 are in the supplemental results.

[Webnauts]

Oh! I thought headings tags are the second most important factor for on-page SEO. Or did I miss something?

[Xenia]

Can I ask how to get many index pages in google?

when I check my website in google I only found 1 index page.

Can anyone help me?
Thanx

[Webnauts]

Xenia, start a new thread, post the URL (link) of your site and PM me so I can have a look if you want.
