Search engine optimization

2008-03-23T19:17:00.004Z

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As a marketing strategy for increasing a site's relevance, SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site's coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts may include adding unique content to a site, ensuring that content is easily indexed by search engine robots, and making the site more appealing to users. Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indexes.

The initialism "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers", a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, URLs, and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.

History
Webmasters and content providers began optimizing sites for search engines in the mid-1990s, as the first search engines were cataloging the early Web. Initially, all a webmaster needed to do was submit a page, or URL, to the various engines which would send a spider to "crawl" that page, extract links to other pages from it, and return information found on the page to be indexed. The process involves a search engine spider downloading a page and storing it on the search engine's own server, where a second program, known as an indexer, extracts various information about the page, such as the words it contains and where these are located, as well as any weight for specific words and all links the page contains, which are then placed into a scheduler for crawling at a later date.

Site owners started to recognize the value of having their sites highly ranked and visible in search engine results. According to industry analyst Danny Sullivan, the earliest known use of the phrase "search engine optimization" was a spam message posted on Usenet on July 26, 1997.

Early versions of search algorithms relied on webmaster-provided information such as the keyword meta tag, or index files in engines like ALIWEB. Meta-tags provided a guide to each page's content. But using meta data to index pages was found to be less than reliable because the webmaster's account of keywords in the meta tag were not truly relevant to the site's actual keywords. Inaccurate, incomplete, and inconsistent data in meta tags caused pages to rank for irrelevant searches. Web content providers also manipulated a number of attributes within the HTML source of a page in an attempt to rank well in search engines.

By relying so much on factors exclusively within a webmaster's control, early search engines suffered from abuse and ranking manipulation. To provide better results to their users, search engines had to adapt to ensure their results pages showed the most relevant search results, rather than unrelated pages stuffed with numerous keywords by unscrupulous webmasters. Since the success and popularity of a search engine is determined by its ability to produce the most relevant results to any given search allowing those results to be false would turn users to find other search sources. Search engines responded by developing more complex ranking algorithms, taking into account additional factors that were more difficult for webmasters to manipulate.

Graduate students at Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed "backrub", a search engine that relied on a mathematical algorithm to rate the prominence of web pages. The number calculated by the algorithm, PageRank, is a function of the quantity and strength of inbound links. PageRank estimates the likelihood that a given page will be reached by a web user who randomly surfs the web, and follows links from one page to another. In effect, this means that some links are stronger than others, as a higher PageRank page is more likely to be reached by the random surfer.

Page and Brin founded Google in 1998. Google attracted a loyal following among the growing number of Internet users, who liked its simple design. Off-page factors such as PageRank and hyperlink analysis were considered, as well as on-page factors, to enable Google to avoid the kind of manipulation seen in search engines that only considered on-page factors for their rankings. Although PageRank was more difficult to game, webmasters had already developed link building tools and schemes to influence the Inktomi search engine, and these methods proved similarly applicable to gaining PageRank. Many sites focused on exchanging, buying, and selling links, often on a massive scale. Some of these schemes, or link farms, involved the creation of thousands of sites for the sole purpose of link spamming.

To reduce the impact of link schemes, as of 2007, search engines consider a wide range of undisclosed factors for their ranking algorithms. Google says it ranks sites using more than 200 different signals. The three leading search engines, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft's Live Search, do not disclose the algorithms they use to rank pages. Notable SEOs, such as Rand Fishkin, Barry Schwartz, Aaron Wall and Jill Whalen, have studied different approaches to search engine optimization, and have published their opinions in online forums and blogs.SEO practitioners may also study patents held by various search engines to gain insight into the algorithms.

Webmasters and search engines
By 1997 search engines recognized that some webmasters were making efforts to rank well in their search engines, and even manipulating the page rankings in search results. Early search engines, such as Infoseek, adjusted their algorithms to prevent webmasters from manipulating rankings by stuffing pages with excessive or irrelevant keywords.

Due to the high marketing value of targeted search results, there is potential for an adversarial relationship between search engines and SEOs. In 2005, an annual conference, AIRWeb, Adversarial Information Retrieval on the Web, was created to discuss and minimize the damaging effects of aggressive web content providers.

SEO companies that employ overly aggressive techniques can get their client websites banned from the search results. In 2005, the Wall Street Journal profiled a company, Traffic Power, which allegedly used high-risk techniques and failed to disclose those risks to its clients. Wired magazine reported that the same company sued blogger Aaron Wall for writing about the ban. Google's Matt Cutts later confirmed that Google did in fact ban Traffic Power and some of its clients.

Some search engines have also reached out to the SEO industry, and are frequent sponsors and guests at SEO conferences and seminars. In fact, with the advent of paid inclusion, some search engines now have a vested interest in the health of the optimization community. Major search engines provide information and guidelines to help with site optimization. Google has a Sitemaps program to help webmasters learn if Google is having any problems indexing their website and also provides data on Google traffic to the website. Yahoo! Site Explorer provides a way for webmasters to submit URLs, determine how many pages are in the Yahoo! index and view link information.

Getting indexed
The leading search engines, Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft, use crawlers to find pages for their algorithmic search results. Pages that are linked from other search engine indexed pages do not need to be submitted because they are found automatically. Some search engines, notably Yahoo!, operate a paid submission service that guarantee crawling for either a set fee or cost per click. Such programs usually guarantee inclusion in the database, but do not guarantee specific ranking within the search results. Yahoo's paid inclusion program has drawn criticism from advertisers and competitors. Two major directories, the Yahoo Directory and the Open Directory Project both require manual submission and human editorial review. Google offers Google Webmaster Tools, for which an XML Sitemap feed can be created and submitted for free to ensure that all pages are found, especially pages that aren't discoverable by automatically following links.

Search engine crawlers may look at a number of different factors when crawling a site. Not every page is indexed by the search engines. Distance of pages from the root directory of a site may also be a factor in whether or not pages get crawled.

Preventing indexing
Main article: Robots Exclusion Standard
To avoid undesirable content in the search indexes, webmasters can instruct spiders not to crawl certain files or directories through the standard robots.txt file in the root directory of the domain. Additionally, a page can be explicitly excluded from a search engine's database by using a meta tag specific to robots. When a search engine visits a site, the robots.txt located in the root directory is the first file crawled. The robots.txt file is then parsed, and will instruct the robot as to which pages are not to be crawled. As a search engine crawler may keep a cached copy of this file, it may on occasion crawl pages a webmaster does not wish crawled. Pages typically prevented from being crawled include login specific pages such as shopping carts and user-specific content such as search results from internal searches. In March 2007, Google warned webmasters that they should prevent indexing of internal search results because those pages are considered search spam.

White hat versus black hat
SEO techniques are classified by some into two broad categories: techniques that search engines recommend as part of good design and those techniques that search engines do not approve of and attempt to minimize the effect of, referred to as spamdexing. Some industry commentators classify these methods, and the practitioners who employ them, as either white hat SEO, or black hat SEO. White hats tend to produce results that last a long time, whereas black hats anticipate that their sites may eventually be banned either temporarily or permanently once the search engines discover what they are doing.

An SEO technique is considered white hat if it conforms to the search engines' guidelines and involves no deception. As the search engine guidelines are not written as a series of rules or commandments, this is an important distinction to note. White hat SEO is not just about following guidelines, but is about ensuring that the content a search engine indexes and subsequently ranks is the same content a user will see.

White hat advice is generally summed up as creating content for users, not for search engines, and then making that content easily accessible to the spiders, rather than attempting to trick the algorithm from its intended purpose. White hat SEO is in many ways similar to web development that promotes accessibility, although the two are not identical.

Black hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved of by the search engines, or involve deception. One black hat technique uses text that is hidden, either as text colored similar to the background, in an invisible div, or positioned off screen. Another method gives a different page depending on whether the page is being requested by a human visitor or a search engine, a technique known as cloaking.

Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review.

One infamous example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices. Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's list.

As a marketing strategy
Eye tracking studies have shown that searchers scan a search results page from top to bottom and left to right (for left to right languages), looking for a relevant result. Placement at or near the top of the rankings therefore increases the number of searchers who will visit a site. However, more search engine referrals does not guarantee more sales. SEO is not necessarily an appropriate strategy for every website, and other Internet marketing strategies can be much more effective, depending on the site operator's goals. A successful Internet marketing campaign may drive organic traffic to web pages, but it also may involve the use of paid advertising on search engines and other pages, building high quality web pages to engage and persuade, addressing technical issues that may keep search engines from crawling and indexing those sites, setting up analytics programs to enable site owners to measure their successes, and improving a site's conversion rate.

SEO may generate a return on investment. However, search engines are not paid for organic search traffic, their algorithms change, and there are no guarantees of continued referrals. Due to this lack of guarantees and certainty, a business that relies heavily on search engine traffic can suffer major losses if the search engines stop sending visitors. It is considered wise business practice for website operators to liberate themselves from dependence on search engine traffic. A top ranked SEO blog Seomoz.org has reported, "Search marketers, in a twist of irony, receive a very small share of their traffic from search engines." Instead, their main sources of traffic are links from other websites.

International markets
A Baidu search results pageThe search engines' market shares vary from market to market, as does competition. In 2003, Danny Sullivan stated that Google represented about 75% of all searches. In markets outside the United States, Google's share is often larger, and Google remains the dominant search engine worldwide as of 2007. As of 2006, Google held about 40% of the market in the United States, but Google had an 85-90% market share in Germany. While there were hundreds of SEO firms in the US at that time, there were only about five in Germany.

In Russia the situation is reversed. Local search engine Yandex controls 50% of the paid advertising revenue, while Google has less than 9%. In China, Baidu continues to lead in market share, although Google has been gaining share as of 2007.

Successful search optimization for international markets may require professional translation of web pages, registration of a domain name with a top level domain in the target market, and web hosting that provides a local IP address. Otherwise, the fundamental elements of search optimization are essentially the same, regardless of language.

Legal precedents
In 2002, SearchKing filed suit in an Oklahoma court against the search engine Google. SearchKing's claim was that Google's tactics to prevent spamdexing constituted an unfair business practice. In May 2003, the court pronounced a summary judgment in Google's favor.

In March 2006, KinderStart.com, LLC filed a First Amendment complaint against Google and also attempted to include potential members of the class of plaintiffs in a class action. The plaintiff's web site was removed from Google's index prior to the lawsuit and the amount of traffic to the site plummeted. On March 16, 2007 the United States District Court dismissed KinderStart's complaint without leave to amend, and partially granted Google's motion for Rule 11 sanctions against KinderStart's attorney, requiring him to pay part of Google's legal expenses.

Web Site Traffic Building For A Beginner

2008-03-23T19:02:00.002Z

It is probably common knowledge that website traffic building is the only way to start making money on the internet. If you don't have traffic coming in to click on your links, how on earth are you going to make any sales? First of all, you must realize why Google traffic is the best, how to optimize your website for Google, then you must find other methods other than Google.

Why Google Traffic is the Best
Google traffic is the best way to gain traffic to your website. Not only will you receive targeted traffic depending on what keywords you decide to pursue, but you will also receive a daily amount of traffic for free! That’s right, by utilizing search engine optimization [SEO] , you will receive a daily amount of traffic for free. It may take a while but in due time, you will eventually gain the results you want.

Google as a search engine is better than all the other search engines as well simply because Google directs approximately 80% of the searches on the internet. That means there have been millions of people that have performed billions of searches! It is important that you get your share of the internet as well.

How to Optimize Your Website for Google
It is important that you find keywords that are highly searched but have low competition among other websites. When you find these keywords and put them on your webpage, Google will see you as an authoritative source, and therefore rank you high when a person types in that keyword in the Google search box. It is highly important that you find as many long-tail keywords as possible, so you can get a great amount of organic visitors on a daily basis.

Finding other methods besides Google
It is important to find other methods besides Google as well, because as the old saying goes, it is never good to put all your eggs in one basket. Therefore do some research on other ways you can get targeted traffic to your website. Some of these ways include social networking sites such as myspace, facebook, friendster, and others. Make sure you do not spam, because spam is illegal, however, if you have valuable information that you want to expose to the public then by all means, make your presence known.

The Top 10 Alternatives to Google Adsense

2008-03-18T21:06:00.011Z

Google AdSense is the current leader in content-sensitive web-based marketing. Webmasters can place Google AdSense JavaScript code on their web pages in order to allow Google's servers to show context sensitive advertisements (Google Adwords). The left hand side of this page shows an example of a Google AdSense skyscraper displaying a text or image ad.

Google's terms and conditions are very strict such that many web publishers cannot use adsense adverts on their sites. They are either denied from joining the Google AdSense program, or in a situation that is becoming more and more common do not wish to do business with Google. A number of publishers are also finding their Adsense accounts are being disabled for reasons that are completely beyond their control. The problem is that most of the alternatives to Google's Adsense are pretty useless. Most of the good ones (such as doubleclick) are only interested in very large volume customers and so are not interested in the little guy with his blog who wants to earn a small income on the side. For this reason I have compiled my Top 10 alternatives to Google's Adsense that are ideal for the small time publisher.

Page Rank VS SERP

2008-03-04T13:31:00.011Z

It is very common for the Webmasters to mix up the real differences between Google Page Rank and Search Engine Result Position (SERP). Also known as the Search Engine Result Page, SERP is the main algorithm for web pages ranking. The most common misconception is that the PageRank is directly equivalent to the search rankings. This is not the case. This article discusses the real definition of both terms and clarify some common misconceptions.

A main difference between Page Rank and SERP is the frequency of update. As stated by the Google Engineer, Matt Cutts, Google updates Page Rank approximately once every three months. The updated Page Rank is shown on the Google tool bar. However, Google uses the latest Page Rank value of every page when calculating rankings for search queries. Therefore, Page Rank is only one of the many factors that were included in the SERP algorithm.

Other than Page Rank, SERP also includes other important factors such as content relevancy and freshness when it comes to ranking of a page. Keywords in domain names also contribute to the rankings. Hence, having a high Page Rank does not guarantee a good SERP. In fact, it is very common for a page that bears Page Rank of 4 to receive no search engine traffic.

It is also important to understand how Page Rank is calculated since it affects the SERP. The only factor that determines the Page Rank value is the inbound links. Inbound links are incoming links that point to a page. These links are extremely valuable especially if they contain relevant content. A page will have high Page Rank if it has a good amount of high quality links pointing to it.

Although Page Rank is only part of the main SERP algorithm, it is important to also attract quality inbound links so as to achieve a good SERP. In Google's perspective, the more the high quality inbound links a page has, the more important is that page. Having a low Page Rank will make achieving a good ranking difficult especially when the competition is strong (ranking for highly competitive keywords).

To conclude, Page Rank is only part of the whole SERP algorithm. Webmasters should always aim for a high Search Engine Result Position (SERP) rather than Page Rank. A good SERP will receive good traffic from search engine as long as the targeted keywords are commonly searched.

when adsense ban your account?

2008-03-02T19:00:00.004Z

The first thing you should do is not to run to google why they baned your account. You will loose your time only. So, try to find other companies who pays more better than adsense. There are a lot's of them. And remove all adsense codes from your site or blog, cause of your prestige. When I was baned by adsense, the same day I removed all adsense codes from my websites, though it gave me a lot of works almost 500 pages. After remove I opend an account with bidvertiser and also send an e-mail to yahoo publisher section. But yahoo may can take some time. But You can start with bidvertiser imideatly. Be carefull to not click on your own adds even in accidently. Bidbertiser mostly pay about 3 cents or more in every click. And also some other companies who have some very interesting adds system (Contente links). You can use your text as a link (Like wikipedia)add. It's really so interesting and visitor get interest of those words or text links. So you can earn much profit from it also. You can open an account with www.kontera.com

Are you an adsense Victim?

2008-03-02T00:45:00.000Z

Hi Friends! I am Mony, I am starting my this blog for dedicating to all adsense victims. It's not just becuse that I am also a victim but also to share some of my learns. And I would like to give some of my opinions to Google Adsense. They should show clearly the reasons for whose they can ban adsense account. Actually those are in their term and conditions agreements is like to install xp with F8 agreement, hardly read. But the fact is not there. If google adsense is the most powerfull and inteligent about adds so, why they cant control their clicks with valid clicks. They could pay for valid click and will not pay for invalid clicks. Actually what I think, may they are earning a lot of money with this account banning. They use to send us e-mail saying that they will refund those money to the advertisers, may they do, or not or just little, who knows!?
Still now I haven't come to my real point. I think I am more inteligent than google adsense. I can control google adsense by banning other's accunt!? There are so many inocente victims of adsense who never clicked their own adds, always respected the term and conditions of google adsense, still then a victim of google adsense!? It's a short of inteligence of adsense! Every one can clik to other's adds so many times to intention of banning their accounts. But adsense could ask to publisher with an warning message about invalid clicks and to be carefull. They just send a e-mail of banning message with noplay e-mail. How nice google adsense is!? So, if google adsense continue with their this kinds of politics of adsense it's no so far to get down their share price to 300 instead of 700 as they wish to have by the year of 2008.

But actually my friends, we are not worry about google adsense nor we have time to think about them. We just need to find much better way than adsense. May we can share our knowledge and learns. Just remember my friends, they day I got adsense banning e-mail, the same day I removed all there codes from my website and started wih another company for my site. Now I will suggest you http://www.bidvertiser.com/ that you can start imideatly. We will continue discuss about our progressing. :)
