Is A Site Map For Users Still Important To Search Engines?
12 October 2010 – 12:13
Adding an HTML sitemap for users, with a link on the home page will get that content indexed fast. Search engine bots are not perfect. Anything you can do to help them crawl your site more efficiently is worth the time. And yes, let’s not forget your users: Unlike XML sitemaps, HTML sitemap pages can be seen and used by your visitors too.
White Hat Vs. Black Hat SEO
23 September 2010 – 15:16
The confusing part of the white hat/black hat division is that it’s assumed that those on the white hat side will be the most skilled and intelligent SEOs. This is inaccurate. In reality, those on the front lines of the black hat side possess a high level of knowledge about how search engines work, and put a ton of time into research and testing. Just like white hats. Black hats aren’t a bunch of amateurs.
How Can I Get Free Traffic To My Website?
21 September 2010 – 14:28
How do you get more free traffic to come to your website? You could write several books on all the various components that factor in to the answers to this question, but let’s answer this in 10 quick points you can think about and develop as you see fit.
How Does Google Find Pages That Don’t Have Links?
17 September 2010 – 11:46
Unlike the other search engines, Google seems to be particularly great at finding content you wouldn’t think they’d be able to find – like areas of your website that have no links pointing at them at all. It’s another Matt Cutts Webmaster Help Q&A video, and this time he covers two questions in one.
6 Ways You May Be Blocking Search Engines
10 September 2010 – 13:33
Accidentally preventing search engines from crawling and indexing your website’s pages is not going to help your presence in the organic search results. If it seems like the engines aren’t indexing your content, there’s probably a good reason and a solution.
Do Search Engine Rankings Matter?
7 September 2010 – 14:24
If an SEO firm tells you that rankings don’t matter, you may want to take that with a grain of salt. It may be that they’re using this statement to avoid the hassle of explaining why your site’s high rankings aren’t what you thought they were.
What Are NoFollow Links?
2 September 2010 – 23:23
Use of the nofollow tag began in 2005 and was encouraged as a method of preventing link spam abuse and other “black hat” link techniques that were getting out of hand.
What Are Long Tail Keywords?
2 August 2010 – 15:47
Discovering the long tail niche terms for your business and optimizing your website to go after them can allow you to grab several first page spots in the search engines. If competing for the most popular and lucrative terms, either organically or through PPC, is not possible for your site right now, going after the longtail is.
What Is Organic Search
22 July 2010 – 23:38
Organic search engine optimization involves working primarily with a website’s content, coding, link building and social networking, as opposed to any search engine marketing involving PPC or other paid advertising strategies. Organic SEO generally includes website redesign and SEO copywriting, and focuses on on-site optimizing and natural link building for direct impact on organic search results.
