May 15th, 2007

Ensuring that you have good visibility for your website is essential. Search Engines are a way of life for just about everyone seeking information on a particular topic. That covers just about everyone in the world with online access.

When most people want to know something, find products, or find a service; they turn to a search engine and viola. The answer magically appears. If your product or service is visible enough and the result have a descriptive explanation then more then likely you will get their traffic. Without search engine visibility your site may never be seen. So to build brand recognition and increase traffic to your site you must increase visibility.

Once you have a good idea of the keywords that people use when searching for similar products and services as yours; then you have a good start. Search Engine Visibility can be increased dramatically by including keywords within the content of your website. This strategy is called optimization. Optimization can be used for all website purposes. Press releases, newsletters, and shopping sites alike will benefit from the use of the internet marketing technique of optimization. Real people who are searching should be kept in mind when creating content for your website. Do not concentrate solely on feeding keywords all over your site because visitors to the site will not be happy. If you create a website that is user friendly; more than likely you will please the search engines and your potential clients.

Organic SEO really works

May 15th, 2007

If you are really frustrated that your website is not getting the listings that you want, you need to be patient and give more stress on Organic SEO. Trust me organic SEO actually works. It may take sometime for the results to show, but when it does you get more visibility long term in the SE’s. Organic SEO is all about optimizing the keywords on your webpage with content and making your website rank higher when the keyword is searched. Contrary to pay-per click methods of getting a higher ranking, which is fast, Organic SEO may take atleast three to six months to show.

Apart from tweaking keywords you may also like to have a manual submission of your links to directories in your relevant categories which will also give a higher ranking to your search engine. You need to check out the statistics of your search engine logs so that you get a better understanding of how your Organic SEO is fairing. However if you take a two pronged approach to optimization, pay-per click and Organic SEO your results will be better. So, decide on your strategy, chalk out your plans and be set to see your website get a better ranking with the search engines robots.

Now, this is what most don’t want to hear, but the more time you spend on your site feeding it content, backlinks & bookmarks the better you will do in a faster time frame, but this requires a budget to reach your goals. There is no free way to do these things because it is either costing you in money or time.

Getting through Googles wall

May 15th, 2007

You have been working on your website for quite sometime now and trying to place it ahead of the other sites in your category. Someday you have success and the next day you don’t. The reason can be varied. First and foremost if you want to get through Google’s wall, you need to have a highly optimized website. Optimization in terms of the keywords that you use, the technology used (try avoiding technologies like Flash), and try to avoid iframes. Sometimes all these in combination can work really well to get you a higher ranking not only on Google but on other search engines as well.

Ensure that all the pages can be reached using a normal link from a homepage. If you have a Javascript menu on your home page, search engine robots may not be able to search the pages. You need to make sure that you link to the other pages of the site by using the standard links and not Javascript. Try to create a single menu system using cascading style sheets (CSS). You can probably break through Google’s wall by using these fundamentals of web design plus adding quality seo content to your site.

Blog Postings for SEO Ranks

May 15th, 2007

The Internet marketplace has become crowded with millions of websites competing with each other to get a better ranking with search engine robots like Google, Yahoo and MSN. With the scenario getting tougher by the day SEO strategists have discovered that blog postings can help your site get a better ranking with search engines.

Understanding these and more are what we offer here at Build Page Rank. What is important is if you are not using blog postings for seo ranks you are already falling behind.

Flash Site Out

May 15th, 2007

Websites need to look good to attract and retain traffic. To achieve this objective one of the most predominantly used technologies was Flash. Flash sites look jazzy and you can have creative animation in your site to make almost a commercial like effect. All was going well until people started feeling that the sites designed in Flash were taking too much time to download, some PC’s couldn’t view these and SEO was greatly effected by a site in flash where the search engines could not read it properly. As a result traffic started moving away from sites which were designed in Flash.

There are few more reasons why Flash sites have fallen out of the good books of designers. Flash is not considered to be a search engine friendly technology. Flash sites are sometimes complex and difficult to navigate. Hence they did not rank well with the search engine robots and humans. Flash is used to design moving objects. If you are not constantly updating your site with new movies and animations people may lose interest seeing the old animation over and over again. The point to note here is that people spend less than 30 seconds on a web page and people are tired of watching things move around, they just want to know they found the right site with the product or services they were looking for.

What is replacing flash is now the web 2.0 technology. Simple designs, clean look & great content!

Link Building

May 10th, 2007

It is the objective of every webmaster to procure the highest possible ranking on the various search engines. Things used to be much simpler. Link farms used to allow you to create thousands of links without much trouble. For better or worse, the search engines have grown wise to this and now reject sites that use this tactic. In order to better inform the consumer, search engines now look for links that share common information; information that actually complements your site. This is better for the user and search engines as a whole, and it is something webmasters must accommodate for.

There are a number of ways to approach this challenge. First, if you are looking to link with a particular site, be sure to get that sites permission. Try to coordinate your efforts with other webmasters so both parties will be able to post links. It is in the best interest of other sites to post their links, so you should not have much trouble in this regard. In addition to this, you can check what links your competitor is using. You may be able to link with one of them, and you will be better informed about your competitor’s strategy. This will be a much slower process than what your used to, but you should find some success if you persevere. Good luck!

RSS News Feed

May 10th, 2007

Nowadays content developers hardly get time to view websites and check on updates. RSS news feed is a client side software that retrieves structured information from websites, blogs, podcasts and gives an ordered result.

If we try to see the technical aspect of RSS News Feed, it is a web format which is used for sharing headlines and other web-content. It is a light-weight XML format that is used by leading portals for sharing news and other information among them. This technology is used by leading news sites such as BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes and many more.

The tags used for RSS news feed are very similar to HTML tags and includes TITLE, URL and DESCRIPTION. RSS has solved many of the problems that are faced by webmasters such as increasing traffic and collecting and sharing news items. The news feeds that are received by the news portals are segregated into different categories and constantly updated to keep track of the latest world happenings.

The feeds that are distributed by the news sources are free of charge and intended to be used by individuals for non-commercial use. RSS is a great technology that helps us to freely share news globally.

Social Bookmarking Service

May 10th, 2007

Social Bookmarking services help us to find useful Internet resources easily. The resources are categorized by tags or subjects, and sometimes they are just randomly organized. As a member of any of these websites or networks you can browse through the categories and search resources that are useful to you. The bookmarks are generally ranked by the number of times users have marked that particular link. Hence when users search for a specific resource, they can easily find the best resources available for that particular category.

The strategy of social bookmarking first started in 1996 with the launch of the website itList.com. Within the next couple of years, several other bookmarking sites cropped up. Unfortunately, most of those endeavors failed with the dot-com bubble burst of 2000. The reason why these sites could not succeed was because there was no viable business model for them to operate from. Currently, social bookmarking services have expanded their services to include rating, commenting, reviewer posting. In addition, they now allow you to create specific groups as well as join social networks. If you are an avid internet user, becoming a member of a social bookmarking site can help you get access to the specific information that you desire.
