The new Yahoo Web Rank� Toolbar
In case you haven�t noticed yet, Yahoo has been hard at work lately.
If you missed it, Yahoo now has its own toolbar. In a similar fashion
the Google toolbar works, Yahoo just introduced Web Rank�. Web Rank�
happens to be Yahoo�s new search engine algorithm, as well as the name
it gave its new toolbar.
Optimizing with relevancy in mind
In the world of search engines, keywords, key phrases and search terms are
the important words or phrases that people type into the search box of major
search engines, in a desire to rapidly find the products or services that
interest them and that are relevant to their needs curso ux research EBAC. This article will show
you the correct way to optimize a website with relevant keywords.
Identifying the right keywords & keyphrases
When you visit them, many commercial websites could probably look
successful and appear to be �winners�. Of course, only the site owner
or its webmaster knows that for sure. Optimize a site for the wrong
keywords or key phrases
and you will end up with a site that ranks well, but chances are it will
bring you some very unrelated traffic and you may even get enquiries for
products that your company does not even offer!
Understanding search engines and how they work
Most likely, you have probably used a search engine such as Google or
AltaVista, or a search directory such as Yahoo in order to help you find
specific information on the Internet that is of
interest to you. Did you ever stop and wonder how exactly do search engines
find that information? If you are like me, you are curious in finding out
more, hoping to learn additional techniques or ways that can be used in
order to have your site get better visibility and popularity on the
Internet.
Optimizing for success and a high ROI
Optimizing a website
for success and a high return on investment (ROI) can be easy, if only you
follow the right steps. There are no shortcuts, no easy way out, if you
truly want to succeed. As with any serious undertaking, the right way to
successfully optimize and position a site requires planning ahead and
executing the project step by step.
Is it really possible to be on the first page?
I often get emails and letters asking me if it�s really possible to get
a site placed on top of the search engine results pages (SERP�s), in other
words on the very first page of Google and most of the other major search
engines. The answer to that question is a definite yes- provided you follow
some basic elementary rules of SEO, and if you adhere to some good, sound
advice that time has proven us that it works.
How to generate good, targeted traffic to any website
One of the biggest challenges in search engine marketing today is getting
enough visitors to your website. Attracting good and targeted traffic
entails a lot more than what most people initially think. Plus, there
isn't one �standard� or perfect way to do it. Search engine optimization
(SEO) is an art as well as a science. However, in many ways, when all the
proper SEO techniques are used as a whole integrated process, they will in
fact bring you a nice stream of targeted visitors.
The importance of keyword density in SEO
Improving the keyword density on your web site is one of the
fastest and simplest ways to increase your site's visibility in the search
engine results pages. To better explain this reasoning, we will refer to a
"keyword" as a word that your
typical web surfer will input in the search box when searching for specific
information about a product or service.
Optimizing your web site for content
When a company or individual needs to
rank high in the major
search engines, a number of important steps are necessary in planning a good
content strategy. To be really efficient, a good corporate web site needs
to effectively communicate the content it offers its visitors. That content
should describe the topic, information sections and the purpose of the site.
Visitors will want to come to a company's web site more than once if the
content it offers exactly matches the topic or subject of their initial
search query.
Business Blogs to help your search rankings
For the past several months now, there has been a new development used more
and more by businesses and companies of all sizes:
Business Blogs.
First, for those of you who may be wondering what �blogs� actually are, they
are an abbreviation for �web logs�. First popularized by journalists, tech
geeks and by teenagers, �blogs� are now increasingly in use by the business
community and Fortune 500 companies.
Duplicate sites, mirrors and doorway pages
In the process of my day-to-day job optimizing and positioning corporate
web sites for my clients, I often get emails and correspondence similar to
the one you are about to read. The field of search engine optimization is
littered with so-called "SEO experts" and people that promise you high
search engine rankings with techniques that are forbidden by most search
engines. The following is a true story.
SEO done with careful thinking
It used to be that for some people, when the subject of search engine
optimization was discussed, there was a good chance that doorway pages,
gateway pages or some general information pages probably came to their
minds. Since about 1995 or 1996, these have been the main techniques used
by some web marketers. If you even happen to be a search engine optimization
(SEO) professional, you probably have some clients that still request these
types of pages for the optimization of their web sites.
The successful optimization of dynamic web sites
The successful search engine optimization (SEO) of a dynamic web site
requires complex search engine technology and methods that are substantially
different and much more sophisticated than the SEO techniques used for
ordinary, more conventional "static" web sites. In this section, we will
explain how Rank for $ales successfully optimizes these dynamic web sites.
Content relevancy explained
Content relevancy is the search engine�s measure of how well a particular
Web page accurately matches a searching question. Relevancy is important
to understand if you want your web site to thrive in this Internet-connected
economy.
How to use link popularity to your best advantage
If you want your web site to be placed highly in the SERP�s (Search Engine
Results Pages), you need to understand how link popularity works and how
to make the best use of it on your web site. In this article, we will
explain the ins and outs of link popularity and the results that can be
achieved if used correctly.
