This traffic needs to be as targeted as possible to the site you are promoting, whether it is your own web site or an affiliate program. This is the lifeblood of the business. No traffic - No business, More traffic - More sales&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The question is - How do you get this highly targeted web site traffic.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I will list some of the most popular methods.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pay-Per-Click&lt;/b&gt; (PPC)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Of all the pay per click search engines, Google Adwords is the largest and most popular.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This method, when done correctly, will increase your exposure, and give fast results. You must keep up to date with Google's rules, so be sure to read them. You pay a one off fee when you register and set up your campaign. You can have your campaign up and running in minutes. There is a minimum bid, but of course you will have to pay more than this. But the beauty of Adwords is you can set a daily budget of how much you are willing to spend.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can create as many campaigns as you want, and then test your ads (changing the headline for example).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Google provide tools to help you with your campaigns, and have exellent tutorials that walk you through everything from signing up to creating your Adwords campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Link popularity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is achieved when other sites have links to your site. If a high traffic site has links, the search engines perceive both sites must be popular. The important thing is to have quality web sites linking back to your site.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Why should anyone want to link to your site? If you have quality content, this adds perceived value and makes your site popular, so others will want to link to you.The type of content could be:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Free downloads&lt;br /&gt;Free reports, articles, ezine or newsletter&lt;br /&gt;Video&lt;br /&gt;Links to other good sites&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reciprocal Links&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is where you exchange links with other quality sites. You can create a links page on your site. This create a resource that visitors will want to return to. Find quality (there's that word again) web sites related to your subject and contact the webmaster about exchanging links.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ezine advertising&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Most ezines accept advertising. Ezines are online or email newsletters. They are used to build a relationship between a webmaster and a web site visitor, with news, updates, special offers etc. But as always they should have quality content. You place an ad in ezines that are highly targeted towards your niche. Prices depend on the ezine, and also the position of the ad. The most expensive is the solo ad, where yours is the only ad.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Article Submissions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Submitting articles is a great way to build back links and web site visitors. Your articles can become 'viral' when others want to re-publish them on their sites, or use them in their newsletters and ezines. You include links to your site in the author resource box offering more free information. The resource box is your chance to convince the reader to visit your web site.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Two of the most popular places to post your articles are &lt;a href="http://www.goarticles.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.goarticles.com/&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.EzineArticles.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forum Posting&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In order to be successful using forums there are some things that are required. Do Your Homework: Prior to joining any forum, you must do some research. Join relevant forums that are in some way related to the promotion's primary sales market. Choose popular forums. There is no point in wasting your time and energy on forums that few members and few posts. Page raking and the amount of active members are two good ways to check for this. Choose forums that allow sig tags. Read the rules before joining and pay attention to them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You've Joined: now what?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Keep your sig tag short and update it regularly. The ideal thing is to limit yourself to one link, preferably to your main website. Never create posts that are nothing more than an advertisement. This is a universal rule. At best this kind of post will be deleted by the monitors, at worst, you will be banned. Be an active member on the forum. Plan to spend at least an hour each day there. Get to know the users. Iintroduce yourself with intelligent questions depending upon the forum's topic.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Use Your Sig file to the best advantage and within the rules. Some Forums have places where you can advertise and give special deals to members.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Social Bookmarking&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In a social bookmarking system, users store lists of Internet resources that they find useful. These lists are both accessible to the public or a specific network, and other people with similar interests can view the links by category, tags, or even randomly. Some allow for privacy on a per-bookmark basis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Social Bookmarking can bring immediate traffic to your website, as web 2.0 community websites such as Technorati, Digg, Reddit and Tailrank provide almost immediate information on various topics. These type of Bookmarking sites index and categorize content usually faster than the major search engines. People looking for the latest information on certain topics usually refer to these types of services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bookmarking Accounts to check out:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://digg.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://digg.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://technorati.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can increase your Bookmarking using the free submission site &lt;a href="http://www.onlywire.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.OnlyWire.com&lt;/a&gt; to bookmark many accounts at once. When you signup to OnlyWire.com you can use many bookmark accounts and with one simple procedure bookmark your blog post to all your accounts at once.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;OnlyWire.com interfaces with:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Backflip&lt;br /&gt;Bibsonomy&lt;br /&gt;Blinklist&lt;br /&gt;Blogmemes&lt;br /&gt;Blue Dot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://de.lirio.us/" target="_blank"&gt;de.lirio.us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://del.icio.us/" target="_blank"&gt;del.icio.us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diigo&lt;br /&gt;Furl&lt;br /&gt;Jots&lt;br /&gt;Linkroll&lt;br /&gt;Looklater&lt;br /&gt;ma.gnolia&lt;br /&gt;Markaboo&lt;br /&gt;Rawsugar&lt;br /&gt;Shadows&lt;br /&gt;Simpy&lt;br /&gt;Spurl&lt;br /&gt;Wink&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you don't have a Bookmark Account for the ones listed go and sign up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Viral Traffic&lt;/b&gt; using free reports - ebooks etc.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directory Submissions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Submit your website url's to the search engines Google, Yahoo, MSN.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Search Engine Optimization&lt;/b&gt; (SEO)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Search Engine Optimization, (SEO), is making web pages attractive to the search engines. The better optimized your web page is, the higher a ranking it will achieve in the search engines. Most people searching the internet only look at the first couple of search results.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So optimizing for the search engines focuses on techniques such as making sure that each web page is using the appropriate title tags and meta tags, and that the keyword or key phrases for the particular pages are distributed throughout the content. Search engines find and catalog web pages using spidering software.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These are just a few ways to get more web site traffic.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/982922042001000790-8705617396410568533?l=seotricksindia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seotricksindia.blogspot.com/feeds/8705617396410568533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=982922042001000790&amp;postID=8705617396410568533' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/982922042001000790/posts/default/8705617396410568533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/982922042001000790/posts/default/8705617396410568533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seotricksindia.blogspot.com/2008/11/10-ways-to-more-website-traffic.html' title='10 Ways To More Website Traffic'/><author><name>abhay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17357481783663043662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982922042001000790.post-2950994575641450276</id><published>2008-11-20T23:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T23:46:44.088-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internet Marketing Blogs that Beg to be Bookmarked'/><title type='text'>Internet Marketing Blogs that Beg to be Bookmarked</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;Let's face it, Blogs on the topic of Internet marketing are a dime a dozen. Everyone  and their dog seems to have one. I'll be the first to admit it takes a lot to impress  me. Some blogs are just boring and uneventful. But then there are some that make me  want to come back again and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So, what are the qualities of a great blog? Well, for me it's one that offers me  something of value, whether that be in the form of valuable information, or points  me in the direction of free products or services. It's all about me. By the same  token, I do appreciate a blogger with a sense of humor or strong personality. If  you're stiff and mechanical it's just not for me. Show me who you really are and  what makes you tick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;"&gt; One final point. Don't forget about design. Blogs that are easy on the eyes,  uncluttered and simple get my vote every time. If it has a black background and  white text, I'm out of there in a big hurry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So, who has some of the best blogs online today? So glad you asked. Listen closely  as I enlighten you and point you in the right direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1) &lt;a href="http://williecrawford.com/blog2/" target="_blank"&gt;Willie Crawford&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; An experienced online marketer, Willie is considered one of the world's leading  Internet marketing experts.

This is because a website is almost the only method for a person to actually see beforehand what he/she pays for. In general, more than 90% of these potential new client's decisions are decided upon the impression that is reflected from the website, regardless of the competence of these companies. The general truth is that most potential clients do not know how to technically compare companies, and therefore trust that the website's professionalism will reflect the expertise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore large amounts are invested in corporate website development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately most companies tend to overlook the importance of building a trusted web presence. Without having a web presence with authority almost no new visitors will end up at your website. And since every company wants to expand, they need to focus on improving their web presence in order to increase the chance of getting new customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best and most effective long term solution to increase your web presence is known as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). It is a highly specialized field that focus on improving the amount of trust the rest of the world will have in your website. The more trust you have, the more potential new clients will visit your website daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The amount of trust your website has, is most of the time determined by search engines (for example Google, Yahoo, etc.). This is because the search engines have the most advanced mathematical algorithms available today, hence the acronym, SEO. Of all these search engines, the world's most accepted benchmark of website trust is known as the Google rank (or page rank) of your website. Therefore, if you could increase your Google rank, your number of new visitors to your website will most certainly increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google Rank of well known organisations' home page:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4/10: Pick n Pay, Steers, KWV, News 24&lt;br /&gt;5/10: Anglo Gold, Checkers, Spur, Shoprite, Nedbank, Old Mutual&lt;br /&gt;6/10: Anglo American, Absa, Stellenbosch University, Telkom, MTN, Vodacom, Mobil, Virgin, Standard Bank, Die Burger, Sasol&lt;br /&gt;7/10: McDonald's, Ford, General Electric, Nike, Coke&lt;br /&gt;8/10: General Motors&lt;br /&gt;9/10: Microsoft, eBay, Amazon&lt;br /&gt;10/10: Google, Facebook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another reason why Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is so important is because of the quality of the traffic (website visitors) you receive on your website. If somebody visits your website due to a search engine query, as opposed to other reasons (such as typing in the web address/clicking on a link from another website, etc), the new visitor will most likely already be looking for your services. For example, if someone types in the word "wine" in Google, they are probably looking for wine. So if your site comes up first on Google you can probably sell a bottle of wine if your offering is satisfactory. The contrary is that the person accidentally lands on your website, but has no immediate desire for the product or services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that it is possible to buy quality traffic, but this is expensive (depending on the product value and competition) and only effective in the immediate short term i.e. while it is active. SEO has a long term cumulative effect and is relatively inexpensive to maintain once a certain level of optimisation is reached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tips when hiring SEO experts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Whenever using a company in order to improve your SEO, always check out the Google Rank of their website. Since SEO is not that well known in management circles, there is a lot of companies that will try to sell SEO skills while there own SEO are terrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Also try to get some form of guarantee. It is very rare that marketing companies ever give guarantees about the effects of their efforts, but if they actually do, you know they are serious about their skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Try to get clear benchmarks to calculate the results of the SEO campaign. For example monitor the number of visitors that your website receives that came from natural search engine queries during and after the time of your campaign. (If your marketing team don't know how to get these figures, don't use them!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Make sure your SEO team have a clean record. Sometimes SEO companies may get desperate in order to get results and might step over the moral line by trying to fool search engines with unnatural 'black hat' methods. When caught out, these websites are usually banned from search engines and will not show in any search result. To look into any company's track record simply Google them. Disgruntles clients tend to write their bad experience in public forums that will normally be listed in Google's search results just below the company's own website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck with your marketing campaign!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/982922042001000790-3536976551935350020?l=seotricksindia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seotricksindia.blogspot.com/feeds/3536976551935350020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=982922042001000790&amp;postID=3536976551935350020' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/982922042001000790/posts/default/3536976551935350020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/982922042001000790/posts/default/3536976551935350020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seotricksindia.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-corporates-should-know-about.html' title='What Corporates should know about Online Marketing'/><author><name>abhay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17357481783663043662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982922042001000790.post-1160313809018146440</id><published>2008-10-02T23:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-02T23:16:23.515-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='google business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Free Google Marketing Tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='get business through google'/><title type='text'>10 Most Useful Free Google Marketing Tools</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;Google is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Happy Birthday Google!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; One way Google is celebrating this event is through funding 10 million dollars for the  idea that can help the most people. An idea that could have the most impact on our world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It's an ingenious way to celebrate Google and what it stands for... a birthday gift to everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;You can find out more about Google Impact Project here:  &lt;a href="http://www.project10tothe100.com/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;10 to the 100&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Google Has Already Impacted Many People&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Like a lot of webmasters and marketers out there, I am very grateful to Google. Mainly  because Google has been very good to me and has made my online livelihood possible with  organic rankings, Adsense revenue, Adwords...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Maybe I could have done it without Google, but it would have been a much more difficult  job. And it's very hard to imagine a world without Google.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It's also hard to believe Google has only been around for 10 years... it has made all the  difference to my onlíne marketing. I have used Google and Google Tools every day for the  last six or seven years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And it seems Google is only getting stronger and better. The new Google Chrome browser will  only add to the long líst of Google's helpful offerings to the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; With this thought in mind, here is my (biased) líst of the most 10 useful marketing tools  Google has produced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;10 Most Valuable Free Google Marketing Tools&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Google has become the dominant search engine on the Internet. It would be hard to imagine  a web without Google. For that matter, it would now be hard to imagine a world without  Google. As frightening as that may seem to many people, it is none the less true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;For better or worse, Google has permeated into almost every aspect of our everyday life.

It is the medium that markets, promotes and sells your  content or products. Writely will help you write better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Honorable Mention - &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/trends" target="_blank"&gt;Google Trends&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  This Google program will let you search popular trends, important for marketers searching  for the latest hot product to promote.

Posting to forums is a very fast and powerful way to build  your base of subscribers in as little as 30 minutes. Below is a step-by-step guide:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1 - Find Forums About Your Niche Very Easily&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Just Google the following:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt; +"your niche" +forum&lt;br /&gt;or&lt;br /&gt;+"your niche" +"discussion board"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;For instance, if I am looking for Forums in the Internet Marketing field, I type  &lt;b&gt;+"Internet Marketing" +forum&lt;/b&gt;. The results show the top Internet marketing Forums such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.im4newbies.com/forum" target="_blank"&gt;www.im4newbies.com/forum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.warriorforum.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forums.digitalpoint.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.forums.digitalpoint.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2 - Join the Forums and Set Up Your Signature&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Remember to include your website address in your signature. Signature is another name for  your resource box. Your resource box is just like an 'about the author info'. This appears  at the end of every post you make and drives traffic to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3 - Read the Rules and Regulations of the Forum Before Posting&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ensures that your posts are not deleted by the Administrators of the Forum. Now,  don't go about spamming all members of the Forum with your website advert. In fact, I  will advise you not to post an obvious ad. It's a pure waste of time because it will be  deleted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So, what's next?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4 - Ask for Input&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Approach from a weak man's position. Assuming you've written an article on your site  entitled "13 Ways to Drive Traffic to a New Site." You could make a post asking folks  to check out the article and see if you missed anything. Or you can ask for additional  points to add to your article. Of course you'll have your opt ín box at the end of the  article with a compelling offering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Let's say you've written an article on meeting the right partner. You could post a  message like this: "If you had a chance to learn how to meet your right partner now,  what would you do?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;It's a great way to get the attention of forum members to your article. You also get  them engaged in the article by asking for their input. And who knows, you may also  get other publishers who would use your content in their ezines, thereby getting more  exposure for your site.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5 - Ask for a Critical Assessment&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are the type that is not easily hurt by honest feedback even when it hurts, you  can go to a forum and ask for a honest critique. You may think this will not make people  sign up for your líst, but I tell you, many people will end up subscribing to it. It's  a more indirect and acceptable way to ask people to check out your site without blatant  advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Plus, the feedback they give you may help to make your squeeze page even more compelling.  Ask them if it would persuade them to give it a try, assuming they were in your target  market (of course, you already know they are by the forum you selected). And, if they say  no, ask them why. You can get valuable information on what they want (and don't want) this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; There are two types of forums where you should ask for critiques: the niche forum itself  and a marketing forum. You'll likely get more sign-ups from the niche forum and good advice  to test out from the marketing forum (although you'll get some opt-ins there as well).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6 - Ask Your Target Market What They Want&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unknown to most people, this is one of the best ways to develop products and services. And  most times, Forum members are ready to tell you what they'll buy and give you ideas for articles,  auto-responder content, your blog posts, whatever you need. People guess the products their  target market will want and create them only to discover no one is interested in the product,  but with this approach, you have real people telling you what product they want, how they want  it and how much they are prepared to pay for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The way you would use this technique to get them to subscribe is to post something like,  "what's your biggest question about loosing weight?" Or "what's the single most important  thing you'd like to know about building a business?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Don't forget to ask if they're willing to pay for solutions to their problems and have them  give you an indication of how much they would be willing to pay. Powerful stuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Let them know you've already answered 10 questions (your 10 step mini-course loaded in your  auto-responder), for example. Then they'll be more likely to sign-up. Make sure you point out that you'll add to your mini-course with the answers to the questions they've provided, and  that they'll get answers to the existing questions in your mini-course PLUS the new ones when  they subscribe. Everybody wins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 7 - Provide a Step-By-Step Guide or Video Tutorial&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If someone asks how to create an ebook, give them a progression of steps they can take. Or, make a  Camtasia tutorial video showing them how. Now that you've got them to your site, you'll want  to "make them a proposal they can't refuse."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Provide a Líst of Resources and Websites&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In addition to checklists, resource lists with website URLs make a great site for them to  bookmark! Make sure you supply more than just links. Make it a huge info-page of information.  A collection of resources, links to everything you have - articles, video, audio, your blog,  other useful sites, tools, you name it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Solve a Problem for People&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If someone asks for help or asks a question, provide your experience and try to help them.  But to maximize your odds of getting both the asker of the question and everyone else who  reads the post to subscribe to your líst, try to phrase your answer in one of the following  two ways:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Give them tips, techniques, shortcuts,  secrets, or anything that offers both the promise of exclusive information and fast results.  A shortcut to success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Whenever possible, supply them with specific  results. Think about it. When you want to learn how to make income online, you go to someone  who is making revenue online to guide you. This quickly establishes you as an authority in that area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And by helping them, maybe - just maybe - they'll click on the link in your signature to  check out your website. If you direct them to a blog post or article you wrote to answer  their question, they'll be even more likely to investigate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; That's all there is to it but at the end of the day, it's a failure-proof way to drive  serious traffic to your website using Forum Posts. Apply it and see your traffic soar  through the roof. Don't say I didn't warn you! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;Iyabo Oyawale is an established Internet Entrepreneur.

So in order not to be penalized for receiving links from the same Class C IP (the number of bits used to identify the network and the host vary according to the network class of the address) you should check where your linking partners are hosted and test what their IP Address is. This could make a difference for SEO purposes if you are going to get new links from different web sites. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;table style="border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238);

Search engines work with text, not graphics, so ensure that your home page includes at least 200 to 250 words. Repeat your keyword phrases at least three times, possibly more if copy is longer. Use keywords in headlines and sub-heads. If it helps readability, bold a few keywords to stand out. Create a new page for each topic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Ensure that the content on every page includes strategic keywords accurately describing your offerings.

The most important tags are the Title Tag and Meta Description Tag. Others are optional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Title Tag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt; - Write an HTML title tag for each page. This should be the first tag on the page in the Head section. Use compelling words to draw visitors to your site. Use questions if possible. Start with important keywords first. Begin with a capital letter and use sentence case for readability. Good title tags read like a one-line ad that solves a problem and shows urgency. Don’t use your keyword phrase more than once in a title tag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Meta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Description Tag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt; - This HTML tag is important because it’s often used by search engines as your site description in search results. It’s also used by search spiders to summarize Web sites when indexing. Make your description compelling and relevant to attract potential customers. Copy should contain several strategic keywords from the page. Place essential copy in the first 150 characters as copy is sometimes limited (150-400 characters).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Meta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Keywords Tag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt; - Most search engines have stopped supporting the meta keywords tag but Inktomi and Teoma still use it, so it can’t hurt if you have the time. This tag should contain your most important keywords for each page, up to 1,000 characters including spaces. Place your most important keywords first, with or without commas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Alt or Image Tag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt; - The alternative text attribute tag requires text to be placed in the tag within quotation marks. Some search engines index alt tags, so it never hurts to describe your images with a keyword message.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Beyond Copywriting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Good navigation links to inner pages allow the engines to index deep into your site. Quality, incoming links to your site will boost link popularity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Once you’ve focused on the above, the crawler search engines will find and rank your site. You can submit manually from the “add URL” link, or invest in paid inclusion for faster indexing and more frequent refresh. At the same time, customers searching your keywords will find what they’re looking for, making favorable decisions due to smart copy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1 align="center"  style="background-color: inherit; color: rgb(96, 96, 96);  font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -1px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(176, 176, 176); font-size:1.8em;"&gt;&lt;span style="  color: rgb(153, 51, 102); font-family:Verdana;font-size:12pt;"&gt;Search Engine Optimization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center; line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Making your site more accessible to search engines and increasing the number of pages indexed is a major benefit of search engine optimization.

It is about understanding what elements search engines look for on a page to help determine the relevance of the page to a search term.

But, search engines do not understand the content of images on a page. This is true even if the images have text in them. For example, your logo may have words in it. The search engines can not read these words because they are not standard text. They are a picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;This is why ALT Tags can be useful. ALT Tags are text descriptions that are used to describe an image on a page. These are not seen by the visitors to your site unless they look at the source code.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;If you look at the code of a Web page, the ALT Tags will look something like the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogger.com/%E2%80%9Dimagename.gif%E2%80%9D%C2%A0%3Cb" /&gt;alt=”image description”&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Sight-impaired people using special Web browsers will appreciate them because these browsers can read the ALT Tags and tell the visitor what the image is about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ALT Tags can also be useful to your optimization efforts when used with images that serve as navigation links to a page on your site. For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%E2%80%9Dpagename.html%E2%80%9D"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogger.com/%E2%80%9Dimage.gif%E2%80%9D" alt="”image" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When set up this way, some search engines will factor in the ALT Tags for images that serve as links. This provides another opportunity to include keywords and keyphrases on your site. But, don’t forget your site impaired visitors. The description in the ALT Tag needs to make sense to them in the context of describing the purpose of the image.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;7.

There are ways around this problem though. For example, instead of making the entire page a FLASH presentation, make the FLASH element smaller and use it as a feature on the page. This will leave you with plenty of room for descriptive text that the search engines can easily index.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;To learn more about Dealing with FLASH:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Recommended Articles:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.searchengineguide.com/wi/2002/0918_wi1.html" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;FAST Breaks the Flash Barrier&lt;/a&gt; - Expanded visibility for Flash sites is good news for designers and users alike because it means that AllTheWeb, Lycos, InfoSpace, and other partner sites using FAST technology can readily display links to a cache of Flash content that wasn’t available to users before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;9.

This is a good approach for the search engines to take because sites listed in directories have already been reviewed by an editor and been considered to be worth a listing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;So, in addition to the traffic that the directories can send to your site directly, getting listed in the major directories is also important for getting your site found by the major search engines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;To get started, be sure to get your site listed in the following directories that are crawled by the search engines:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dmoz.org/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;Open Directory Project&lt;/a&gt; - Also known as ODP or DMOZ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.skaffe.com/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;Skaffe.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sporge.com/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;Sporge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wowdirectory.com/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;WoW Directory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goguides.org/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;GoGuides.Org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.joeant.com/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;JoeAnt.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://botw.org/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;Best of the Web Directory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When you are submitting to directories, be sure to take the time to find the best category for your site and read the submission guidelines provided by each directory.

Great content will draw people to your site. Great content will make people want to stay at your site. Great content will cause people to tell others about your site by linking to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;It doesn’t matter if your site is an information source or is selling something, you can provide great content with articles, reviews, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;After you’ve created a site worthy of a link, start by submitting to the directories. Hit the major directories, regional directories, and thematic directories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Next, look for quality sites that would be complimentary to your audience and exchange links with them. For example, if you sell patio furniture, look for sites that sell gardening supplies and contact them about exchanging links.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The best way to contact a potential link partner is by visiting a site and looking for ways the site owner could naturally include a link to your site in their content. Then look for ways to naturally incorporate a link to that site from yours. After you’ve done this, email the potential link partner with your idea. Don’t use a form letter. Just send a short, personal note explaining what you have in mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When looking for potential link partners, always think in terms of how your site would be beneficial to the visitors of your partner site and theirs to yours.

Google explains it best at their web site:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;“&lt;i&gt;PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.&lt;/i&gt;“”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;It is important to remember that PageRank is but one factor Google uses to determine the rank of a web page in the search results. This is why you can find pages with a lower PageRank listed above pages with a higher PageRank. Google also factors in the content of the page and the pages linking to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Don’t become overly concerned about your PageRank. Focus instead on properly building a high quality site with loads of great content that serves your visitors well. If you do this, improved PageRank will follow naturally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="  ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2.

Access was mainly restricted to employees of various universities and laboratories who used it to access scientific information. In those days, the problem of finding information on the Internet was not nearly as critical as it is now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Site directories were one of the first methods used to facilitate access to information resources on the network. Links to these resources were grouped by topic. Yahoo was the first project of this kind opened in April 1994. As the number of sites in the Yahoo directory inexorably increased, the developers of Yahoo made the directory searchable. Of course, it was not a search engine in its true form because searching was limited to those resources who’s listings were put into the directory. It did not actively seek out resources and the concept of seo was yet to arrive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Such link directories have been used extensively in the past, but nowadays they have lost much of their popularity. The reason is simple – even modern directories with lots of resources only provide information on a tiny fraction of the Internet. For example, the largest directory on the network is currently DMOZ (or Open Directory Project). It contains information on about five million resources. Compare this with the Google search engine database containing more than eight billion documents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The WebCrawler project started in 1994 and was the first full-featured search engine. The Lycos and AltaVista search engines appeared in 1995 and for many years Alta Vista was the major player in this field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;In 1997 Sergey Brin and Larry Page created Google as a research project at Stanford University. Google is now the most popular search engine in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Currently, there are three leading international search engines – Google, Yahoo and MSN Search. They each have their own databases and search algorithms. Many other search engines use results originating from these three major search engines and the same seo expertise can be applied to all of them. For example, the AOL search engine (search.aol.com) uses the Google database while AltaVista, Lycos and AllTheWeb all use the Yahoo database.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.2 Common search engine principles&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To understand seo you need to be aware of the architecture of search engines. They all contain the following main components:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Spider&lt;/i&gt; - a browser-like program that downloads web pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Crawler&lt;/i&gt; – a program that automatically follows all of the links on each web page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Indexer&lt;/i&gt; - a program that analyzes web pages downloaded by the spider and the crawler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Database&lt;/i&gt;– storage for downloaded and processed pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results engine &lt;/i&gt;– extracts search results from the database.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Web server&lt;/i&gt; – a server that is responsible for interaction between the user and other search engine components.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Specific implementations of search mechanisms may differ. For example, the Spider+Crawler+Indexer component group might be implemented as a single program that downloads web pages, analyzes them and then uses their links to find new resources. However, the components listed are inherent to all search engines and the seo principles are the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spider.&lt;/b&gt; This program downloads web pages just like a web browser. The difference is that a browser displays the information presented on each page (text, graphics, etc.) while a spider does not have any visual components and works directly with the underlying HTML code of the page. You may already know that there is an option in standard web browsers to view source HTML code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crawler.&lt;/b&gt; This program finds all links on each page. Its task is to determine where the spider should go either by evaluating the links or according to a predefined list of addresses. The crawler follows these links and tries to find documents not already known to the search engine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Indexer.&lt;/b&gt; This component parses each page and analyzes the various elements, such as text, headers, structural or stylistic features, special HTML tags, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Database.&lt;/b&gt; This is the storage area for the data that the search engine downloads and analyzes. Sometimes it is called the index of the search engine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results Engine.&lt;/b&gt; The results engine &lt;i&gt;ranks&lt;/i&gt; pages. It determines which pages best match a user’s query and in what order the pages should be listed. This is done according to the ranking algorithms of the search engine. It follows that page rank is a valuable and interesting property and any seo specialist is most interested in it when trying to improve his site search results. In this article, we will discuss the seo factors that influence page rank in some detail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web server.&lt;/b&gt; The search engine web server usually contains a HTML page with an input field where the user can specify the search query he or she is interested in. The web server is also responsible for displaying search results to the user in the form of an HTML page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;2. Internal ranking factors&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Several factors influence the position of a site in the search results. They can be divided into external and internal ranking factors. Internal ranking factors are those that are controlled by seo aware website owners (text, layout, etc.) and will be described next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1 Web page layout factors relevant to seo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.1 Amount of text on a page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A page consisting of just a few sentences is less likely to get to the top of a search engine list. Search engines favor sites that have a high information content. Generally, you should try to increase the text content of your site in the interest of seo. The optimum page size is 500-3000 words (or 2000 to 20,000 characters).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Search engine visibility is increased as the amount of page text increases due to the increased likelihood of occasional and accidental search queries causing it to be listed. This factor sometimes results in a large number of visitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.2 Number of keywords on a page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keywords must be used at least three to four times in the page text. The upper limit depends on the overall page size – the larger the page, the more keyword repetitions can be made. Keyword phrases (word combinations consisting of several keywords) are worth a separate mention. The best seo results are observed when a keyword phrase is used several times in the text with all keywords in the phrase arranged in exactly the same order. In addition, all of the words from the phrase should be used separately several times in the remaining text. There should also be some difference (dispersion) in the number of entries for each of these repeated words.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Let us take an example. Suppose we optimize a page for the phrase “seo software” (one of our seo keywords for this site) It would be good to use the phrase “seo software” in the text 10 times, the word “seo” 7 times elsewhere in the text and the word “software” 5 times. The numbers here are for illustration only, but they show the general seo idea quite well.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.3 Keyword density and seo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keyword page density is a measure of the relative frequency of the word in the text expressed as a percentage. For example, if a specific word is used 5 times on a page containing 100 words, the keyword density is 5%. If the density of a keyword is too low, the search engine will not pay much attention to it. If the density is too high, the search engine may activate its spam filter. If this happens, the page will be penalized and its position in search listings will be deliberately lowered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The optimum value for keyword density is 5-7%. In the case of keyword phrases, you should calculate the total density of each of the individual keywords comprising the phrases to make sure it is within the specified limits. In practice, a keyword density of more than 7-8% does not seem to have any negative seo consequences. However, it is not necessary and can reduce the legibility of the content from a user’s viewpoint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.4 Location of keywords on a page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very short rule for seo experts – the closer a keyword or keyword phrase is to the beginning of a document, the more significant it becomes for the search engine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.5 Text format and seo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines pay special attention to page text that is highlighted or given special formatting. We recommend:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- use keywords in headings. Headings are text highlighted with the «H» HTML tags. The «h1» and «h2» tags are most effective. Currently, the use of CSS allows you to redefine the appearance of text highlighted with these tags. This means that «H» tags are used less than nowadays, but are still very important in seo work.;&lt;br /&gt;- Highlight keywords with bold fonts. Do not highlight the entire text! Just highlight each keyword two or three times on the page. Use the «strong» tag for highlighting instead of the more traditional «B» bold tag.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.6 «TITLE» tag&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the most important tags for search engines. Make use of this fact in your seo work. Keywords must be used in the TITLE tag. The link to your site that is normally displayed in search results will contain text derived from the TITLE tag. It functions as a sort of virtual business card for your pages. Often, the TITLE tag text is the first information about your website that the user sees. This is why it should not only contain keywords, but also be informative and attractive. You want the searcher to be tempted to click on your listed link and navigate to your website. As a rule, 50-80 characters from the TITLE tag are displayed in search results and so you should limit the size of the title to this length.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.7 Keywords in links&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple seo rule – use keywords in the text of page links that refer to other pages on your site and to any external Internet resources. Keywords in such links can slightly enhance page rank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.8 «ALT» attributes in images&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any page image has a special optional attribute known as “alternative text.” It is specified using the HTML «ALT» tag. This text will be displayed if the browser fails to download the image or if the browser image display is disabled. Search engines save the value of image ALT attributes when they parse (index) pages, but do not use it to rank search results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Currently, the Google search engine takes into account text in the ALT attributes of those images that are links to other pages. The ALT attributes of other images are ignored. There is no information regarding other search engines, but we can assume that the situation is similar. We consider that keywords can and should be used in ALT attributes, but this practice is not vital for seo purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.9 Description Meta tag&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is used to specify page descriptions. It does not influence the seo ranking process but it is very important. A lot of search engines (including the largest one – Google) display information from this tag in their search results if this tag is present on a page and if its content matches the content of the page and the search query.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Experience has shown that a high position in search results does not always guarantee large numbers of visitors. For example, if your competitors’ search result description is more attractive than the one for your site then search engine users may choose their resource instead of yours. That is why it is important that your Description Meta tag text be brief, but informative and attractive. It must also contain keywords appropriate to the page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.1.10 Keywords Meta tag&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Meta tag was initially used to specify keywords for pages but it is hardly ever used by search engines now. It is often ignored in seo projects. However, it would be advisable to specify this tag just in case there is a revival in its use. The following rule must be observed for this tag: only keywords actually used in the page text must be added to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2 Site structure&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2.1 Number of pages&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The general seo rule is: the more, the better. Increasing the number of pages on your website increases the visibility of the site to search engines. Also, if new information is being constantly added to the site, search engines consider this as development and expansion of the site. This may give additional advantages in ranking. You should periodically publish more information on your site – news, press releases, articles, useful tips, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2.2 Navigation menu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a rule, any site has a navigation menu. Use keywords in menu links, it will give additional seo significance to the pages to which the links refer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2.3 Keywords in page names&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some seo experts consider that using keywords in the name of a HTML page file may have a positive effect on its search result position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2.4 Avoid subdirectories&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there are not too many pages on your site (up to a couple of dozen), it is best to place them all in the root directory of your site. Search engines consider such pages to be more important than ones in subdirectories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2.5 One page – one keyword phrase&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For maximum seo try to optimize each page for its own keyword phrase. Sometimes you can choose two or three related phrases, but you should certainly not try to optimize a page for 5-10 phrases at once. Such phrases would probably produce no effect on page rank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.2.6 Seo and the Main page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Optimize the main page of your site (domain name, index.html) for word combinations that are most important. This page is most likely to get to the top of search engine lists. My seo observations suggest that the main page may account for up to 30-40% percent of the total search traffic for some sites&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3 Common seo mistakes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.1 Graphic header&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very often sites are designed with a graphic header. Often, we see an image of the company logo occupying the full-page width. Do not do it! The upper part of a page is a very valuable place where you should insert your most important keywords for best seo. In case of a graphic image, that prime position is wasted since search engines can not make use of images. Sometimes you may come across completely absurd situations: the header contains text information, but to make its appearance more attractive, it is created in the form of an image. The text in it cannot be indexed by search engines and so it will not contribute toward the page rank. If you must present a logo, the best way is to use a hybrid approach – place the graphic logo at the top of each page and size it so that it does not occupy its entire width. Use a text header to make up the rest of the width.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.2 Graphic navigation menu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation is similar to the previous one – internal links on your site should contain keywords, which will give an additional advantage in seo ranking. If your navigation menu consists of graphic elements to make it more attractive, search engines will not be able to index the text of its links. If it is not possible to avoid using a graphic menu, at least remember to specify correct ALT attributes for all images.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.3 Script navigation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes scripts are used for site navigation. As an seo worker, you should understand that search engines cannot read or execute scripts. Thus, a link specified with the help of a script will not be available to the search engine, the search robot will not follow it and so parts of your site will not be indexed. If you use site navigation scripts then you must provide regular HTML duplicates to make them visible to everyone – your human visitors and the search robots.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.4 Session identifier&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some sites use session identifiers. This means that each visitor gets a unique parameter (&amp;amp;session_id=) when he or she arrives at the site. This ID is added to the address of each page visited on the site. Session IDs help site owners to collect useful statistics, including information about visitors’ behavior. However, from the point of view of a search robot, a page with a new address is a brand new page. This means that, each time the search robot comes to such a site, it will get a new session identifier and will consider the pages as new ones whenever it visits them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Search engines do have algorithms for consolidating mirrors and pages with the same content. Sites with session IDs should, therefore, be recognized and indexed correctly. However, it is difficult to index such sites and sometimes they may be indexed incorrectly, which has an adverse effect on seo page ranking. If you are interested in seo for your site, I recommend that you avoid session identifiers if possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.5 Redirects&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Redirects make site analysis more difficult for search robots, with resulting adverse effects on seo. Do not use redirects unless there is a clear reason for doing so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.6 Hidden text, a deceptive seo method&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last two issues are not really mistakes but deliberate attempts to deceive search engines using illicit seo methods. Hidden text (when the text color coincides with the background color, for example) allows site owners to cram a page with their desired keywords without affecting page logic or visual layout. Such text is invisible to human visitors but will be seen by search robots. The use of such deceptive optimization methods may result in banning of the site. It could be excluded from the index (database) of the search engine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.3.7 One-pixel links, seo deception&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another deceptive seo technique. Search engines consider the use of tiny, almost invisible, graphic image links just one pixel wide and high as an attempt at deception, which may lead to a site ban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;3 External ranking factors&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.1 Why inbound links to sites are taken into account&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see from the previous section, many factors influencing the ranking process are under the control of webmasters. If these were the only factors then it would be impossible for search engines to distinguish between a genuine high-quality document and a page created specifically to achieve high search ranking but containing no useful information. For this reason, an analysis of inbound links to the page being evaluated is one of the key factors in page ranking. This is the only factor that is not controlled by the site owner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;It makes sense to assume that interesting sites will have more inbound links. This is because owners of other sites on the Internet will tend to have published links to a site if they think it is a worthwhile resource. The search engine will use this inbound link criterion in its evaluation of document significance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Therefore, two main factors influence how pages are stored by the search engine and sorted for display in search results:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Relevance, as described in the previous section on internal ranking factors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Number and quality of inbound links, also known as &lt;i&gt;link citation&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;link popularity&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;citation index&lt;/i&gt;. This will be described in the next section.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.2 Link importance (citation index, link popularity)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can easily see that simply counting the number of inbound links does not give us enough information to evaluate a site. It is obvious that a link from www.microsoft.com should mean much more than a link from some homepage like www.hostingcompany.com/~myhomepage.html. You have to take into account &lt;i&gt;link importance&lt;/i&gt; as well as number of links.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Search engines use the notion of citation index to evaluate the number and quality of inbound links to a site. Citation index is a numeric estimate of the popularity of a resource expressed as an absolute value representing page importance. Each search engine uses its own algorithms to estimate a page citation index. As a rule, these values are not published.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;As well as the absolute citation index value, a scaled citation index is sometimes used. This relative value indicates the popularity of a page relative to the popularity of other pages on the Internet. You will find a detailed description of citation indexes and the algorithms used for their estimation in the next sections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.3 Link text (anchor text)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The link text of any inbound site link is vitally important in search result ranking. The anchor (or link) text is the text between the HTML tags «A» and «/A» and is displayed as the text that you click in a browser to go to a new page. If the link text contains appropriate keywords, the search engine regards it as an additional and highly significant recommendation that the site actually contains valuable information relevant to the search query.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.4 Relevance of referring pages&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As well as link text, search engines also take into account the overall information content of each referring page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Example: Suppose we are using seo to promote a car sales resource. In this case a link from a site about car repairs will have much more importance that a similar link from a site about gardening. The first link is published on a resource having a similar topic so it will be more important for search engines.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.5 Google PageRank – theoretical basics&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Google company was the first company to patent the system of taking into account inbound links. The algorithm was named PageRank. In this section, we will describe this algorithm and how it can influence search result ranking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;PageRank is estimated separately for each web page and is determined by the PageRank (citation) of other pages referring to it. It is a kind of “virtuous circle.” The main task is to find the criterion that determines page importance. In the case of PageRank, it is the &lt;i&gt;possible frequency of visits&lt;/i&gt; to a page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;I shall now describe how user’s behavior when following links to surf the network is modeled. It is assumed that the user starts viewing sites from some random page. Then he or she follows links to other web resources. There is always a possibility that the user may leave a site without following any outbound link and start viewing documents from a random page. The PageRank algorithm estimates the probability of this event as 0.15 at each step. The probability that our user continues surfing by following one of the links available on the current page is therefore 0.85, assuming that all links are equal in this case. If he or she continues surfing indefinitely, popular pages will be visited many more times than the less popular pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The PageRank of a specified web page is thus defined as &lt;i&gt;the probability that a user may visit the web page&lt;/i&gt;. It follows that, the sum of probabilities for all existing web pages is exactly one because the user is assumed to be visiting at least one Internet page at any given moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Since it is not always convenient to work with these probabilities the PageRank can be mathematically transformed into a more easily understood number for viewing. For instance, we are used to seeing a PageRank number between zero and ten on the Google Toolbar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;According to the ranking model described above:&lt;br /&gt;- Each page on the Net (even if there are no inbound links to it) initially has a PageRank greater than zero, although it will be very small. There is a tiny chance that a user may accidentally navigate to it.&lt;br /&gt;- Each page that has outbound links distributes part of its PageRank to the referenced page. The PageRank contributed to these linked-to pages is inversely proportional to the total number of links on the linked-from page – the more links it has, the lower the PageRank allocated to each linked-to page.&lt;br /&gt;- PageRank A “damping factor” is applied to this process so that the total distributed page rank is reduced by 15%. This is equivalent to the probability, described above, that the user will not visit any of the linked-to pages but will navigate to an unrelated website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Let us now see how this PageRank process might influence the process of ranking search results. We say “might” because the pure PageRank algorithm just described has not been used in the Google algorithm for quite a while now. We will discuss a more current and sophisticated version shortly. There is nothing difficult about the PageRank influence – after the search engine finds a number of relevant documents (using internal text criteria), they can be sorted according to the PageRank since it would be logical to suppose that a document having a larger number of high-quality inbound links contains the most valuable information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Thus, the PageRank algorithm “pushes up” those documents that are most popular outside the search engine as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.6 Google PageRank – practical use&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, PageRank is not used directly in the Google algorithm. This is to be expected since pure PageRank characterizes only the number and the quality of inbound links to a site, but it completely ignores the text of links and the information content of referring pages. These factors are important in page ranking and they are taken into account in later versions of the algorithm. It is thought that the current Google ranking algorithm ranks pages according to thematic PageRank. In other words, it emphasizes the importance of links from pages with content related by similar topics or themes. The exact details of this algorithm are known only to Google developers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;You can determine the PageRank value for any web page with the help of the Google ToolBar that shows a PageRank value within the range from 0 to 10. It should be noted that the Google ToolBar does not show the exact PageRank probability value, but the PageRank range a particular site is in. Each range (from 0 to 10) is defined according to a logarithmic scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here is an example: each page has a real PageRank value known only to Google. To derive a displayed PageRank range for their ToolBar, they use a logarithmic scale as shown in this table&lt;br /&gt;Real PR                               ToolBar PR&lt;br /&gt;1-10                                            1&lt;br /&gt;10-100                                        2&lt;br /&gt;100-1000                                    3&lt;br /&gt;1000-10.000                               4&lt;br /&gt;Etc.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;This shows that the PageRank ranges displayed on the Google ToolBar are not all equal. It is easy, for example, to increase PageRank from one to two, while it is much more difficult to increase it from six to seven.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;In practice, PageRank is mainly used for two purposes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;1. Quick check of the sites popularity. PageRank does not give exact information about referring pages, but it allows you to quickly and easily get a feel for the sites popularity level and to follow trends that may result from your seo work. You can use the following “Rule of thumb” measures for English language sites: PR 4-5 is typical for most sites with average popularity. PR 6 indicates a very popular site while PR 7 is almost unreachable for a regular webmaster. You should congratulate yourself if you manage to achieve it. PR 8, 9, 10 can only be achieved by the sites of large companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. PageRank is also useful when exchanging links and in similar situations. You can compare the quality of the pages offered in the exchange with pages from your own site to decide if the exchange should be accepted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;2. Evaluation of the competitiveness level for a search query is a vital part of seo work. Although PageRank is not used directly in the ranking algorithms, it allows you to indirectly evaluate relative site competitiveness for a particular query. For example, if the search engine displays sites with PageRank 6-7 in the top search results, a site with PageRank 4 is not likely to get to the top of the results list using the same search query.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;It is important to recognize that the PageRank values displayed on the Google ToolBar are recalculated only occasionally (every few months) so the Google ToolBar displays somewhat outdated information. This means that the Google search engine tracks changes in inbound links much faster than these changes are reflected on the Google ToolBar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.7 Increasing link popularity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.7.1 Submitting to general purpose directories&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Internet, many directories contain links to other network resources grouped by topics. The process of adding your site information to them is called &lt;i&gt;submission&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Such directories can be paid or free of charge, they may require a backlink from your site or they may have no such requirement. The number of visitors to these directories is not large so they will not send a significant number to your site. However, search engines count links from these directories and this may enhance your sites search result placement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Important!&lt;/i&gt; Only those directories that publish a direct link to your site are worthwhile from a seo point of view. Script driven directories are almost useless. This point deserves a more detailed explanation. There are two methods for publishing a link. A direct link is published as a standard HTML construction («A href=…», etc.). Alternatively, links can be published with the help of various scripts, redirects and so on. Search engines understand only those links that are specified directly in HTML code. That is why the seo value of a directory that does not publish a direct link to your site is close to zero.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;You should not submit your site to &lt;i&gt;FFA (free-for-all)&lt;/i&gt; directories. Such directories automatically publish links related to any search topic and are ignored by search engines. The only thing an FFA directory entry will give you is an increase in spam sent to your published e-mail address. Actually, this is the main purpose of FFA directories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Be wary of promises from various programs and seo services that submit your resource to hundreds of thousands of search engines and directories. There are no more than a hundred or so genuinely useful directories on the Net – this is the number to take seriously and professional seo submission services work with this number of directories. If a seo service promises submissions to enormous numbers of resources, it simply means that the submission database mainly consists of FFA archives and other useless resources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Give preference to manual or semiautomatic seo submission; do not rely completely on automatic processes. Submitting sites under human control is generally much more efficient than fully automatic submission. The value of submitting a site to paid directories or publishing a backlink should be considered individually for each directory. In most cases, it does not make much sense, but there may be exceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Submitting sites to directories does not often result in a dramatic effect on site traffic, but it slightly increases the visibility of your site for search engines. This useful seo option is available to everyone and does not require a lot of time and expense, so do not overlook it when promoting your project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.7.2 DMOZ directory &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DMOZ directory (&lt;a href="http://www.dmoz.org/" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;www.dmoz.org&lt;/a&gt;) or the Open Directory Project is the largest directory on the Internet. There are many copies of the main DMOZ site and so, if you submit your site to the DMOZ directory, you will get a valuable link from the directory itself as well as dozens of additional links from related resources. This means that the DMOZ directory is of great value to a seo aware webmaster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;It is not easy to get your site into the DMOZ directory; there is an element of luck involved. Your site may appear in the directory a few minutes after it has been submitted or it may take months to appear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;If you submitted your site details correctly and in the appropriate category then it should eventually appear. If it does not appear after a reasonable time then you can try contacting the editor of your category with a question about your request (the DMOZ site gives you such opportunity). Of course, there are no guarantees, but it may help. DMOZ directory submissions are free of charge for all sites, including commercial ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Here are my final recommendations regarding site submissions to DMOZ. Read all site requirements, descriptions, etc. to avoid violating the submission rules. Such a violation will most likely result in a refusal to consider your request. Please remember, presence in the DMOZ directory is desirable, but not obligatory. Do not despair if you fail to get into this directory. It is possible to reach top positions in search results without this directory – many sites do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.7.3 Link exchange&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The essence of link exchanges is that you use a special page to publish links to other sites and get similar backlinks from them. Search engines do not like link exchanges because, in many cases, they distort search results and do not provide anything useful to Internet users. However, it is still an effective way to increase link popularity if you observe several simple rules.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Exchange links with sites that are related by topic. Exchanging links with unrelated sites is ineffective and unpopular.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Before exchanging, make sure that your link will be published on a “good” page. This means that the page must have a reasonable PageRank (3-4 or higher is recommended), it must be available for indexing by search engines, the link must be direct, the total number of links on the page must not exceed 50, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Do not create large link directories on your site. The idea of such a directory seems attractive because it gives you an opportunity to exchange links with many sites on various topics. You will have a topic category for each listed site. However, when trying to optimize your site you are looking for link quality rather than quantity and there are some potential pitfalls. No seo aware webmaster will publish a quality link to you if he receives a worthless link from your directory “link farm” in return. Generally, the PageRank of pages from such directories leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, search engines do not like these directories at all. There have even been cases where sites were banned for using such directories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Use a separate page on the site for link exchanges. It must have a reasonable PageRank and it must be indexed by search engines, etc. Do not publish more than 50 links on one page (otherwise search engines may fail to take some of the links into account). This will help you to find other seo aware partners for link exchanges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Search engines try to track mutual links. That is why you should, if possible, publish backlinks on a domain/site other than the one you are trying to promote. The best variant is when you promote the resource site1.com and publish backlinks on the resource site2.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Exchange links with caution. Webmasters who are not quite honest will often remove your links from their resources after a while. Check your backlinks from time to time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.7.4 Press releases, news feeds, thematic resources&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This section is about site marketing rather than pure seo. There are many information resources and news feeds that publish press releases and news on various topics. Such sites can supply you with direct visitors and also increase your sites popularity. If you do not find it easy to create a press release or a piece of news, hire copywriters – they will help you find or create something newsworthy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Look for resources that deal with similar topics to your own site. You may find many Internet projects that not in direct competition with you, but which share the same topic as your site. Try to approach the site owners. It is quite possible that they will be glad to publish information about your project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;One final tip for obtaining inbound links – try to create slight variations in the inbound link text. If all inbound links to your site have exactly the same link text and there are many of them, the search engines may flag it as a spam attempt and penalize your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;4 Indexing a site&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Before a site appears in search results, a search engine must index it. An indexed site will have been visited and analyzed by a search robot with relevant information saved in the search engine database. If a page is present in the &lt;i&gt;search engine index&lt;/i&gt;, it can be displayed in search results otherwise, the search engine cannot know anything about it and it cannot display information from the page..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Most average sized sites (with dozens to hundreds of pages) are usually indexed correctly by search engines. However, you should remember the following points when constructing your site. There are two ways to allow a search engine to learn about a new site:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Submit the address of the site manually using a form associated with the search engine, if available. In this case, you are the one who informs the search engine about the new site and its address goes into the queue for indexing. Only the main page of the site needs to be added, the search robot will find the rest of pages by following links.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Let the search robot find the site on its own. If there is at least one inbound link to your resource from other indexed resources, the search robot will soon visit and index your site. In most cases, this method is recommended. Get some inbound links to your site and just wait until the robot visits it. This may actually be quicker than manually adding it to the submission queue. Indexing a site typically takes from a few days to two weeks depending on the search engine. The Google search engine is the quickest of the bunch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Try to make your site friendly to search robots by following these rules:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Try to make any page of your site reachable from the main page in not more than three mouse clicks. If the structure of the site does not allow you to do this, create a so-called &lt;i&gt;site map&lt;/i&gt; that will allow this rule to be observed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Do not make common mistakes. Session identifiers make indexing more difficult. If you use script navigation, make sure you duplicate these links with regular ones because search engines cannot read scripts (see more details about these and other mistakes in section 2.3).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Remember that search engines index no more than the first 100-200 KB of text on a page. Hence, the following rule – do not use pages with text larger than 100 KB if you want them to be indexed completely.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;You can manage the behavior of search robots using the file robots.txt. This file allows you to explicitly permit or forbid them to index particular pages on your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The databases of search engines are constantly being updated; records in them may change, disappear and reappear. That is why the number of indexed pages on your site may sometimes vary. One of the most common reasons for a page to disappear from indexes is server unavailability. This means that the search robot could not access it at the time it was attempting to index the site. After the server is restarted, the site should eventually reappear in the index.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;You should note that the more inbound links your site has, the more quickly it gets re-indexed. You can track the process of indexing your site by analyzing server log files where all visits of search robots are logged. We will give details of seo software that allows you to track such visits in a later section.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;5 Choosing keywords&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.1 Initially choosing keywords&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choosing keywords should be your first step when constructing a site. You should have the keyword list available to incorporate into your site text before you start composing it. To define your site keywords, you should use seo services offered by search engines in the first instance. Sites such as &lt;a href="http://www.wordtracker.com/" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;www.wordtracker.com&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://inventory.overture.com/" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;inventory.overture.com&lt;/a&gt; are good starting places for English language sites. Note that the data they provide may sometimes differ significantly from what keywords are actually the best for your site. You should also note that the Google search engine does not give information about frequency of search queries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;After you have defined your approximate list of initial keywords, you can analyze your competitor’s sites and try to find out what keywords they are using. You may discover some further relevant keywords that are suitable for your own site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.2 Frequent and rare keywords&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two distinct strategies – optimize for a small number of highly popular keywords or optimize for a large number of less popular words. In practice, both strategies are often combined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The disadvantage of keywords that attract frequent queries is that the competition rate is high for them. It is often not possible for a new site to get anywhere near the top of search result listings for these queries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;For keywords associated with rare queries, it is often sufficient just to mention the necessary word combination on a web page or to perform minimum text optimization. Under certain circumstances, rare queries can supply quite a large amount of search traffic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The aim of most commercial sites is to sell some product or service or to make money in some way from their visitors. This should be kept in mind during your seo (search engine optimization) work and keyword selection. If you are optimizing a commercial site then you should try to attract targeted visitors (those who are ready to pay for the offered product or service) to your site rather than concentrating on sheer numbers of visitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Example. The query “monitor” is much more popular and competitive than the query “monitor Samsung 710N” (the exact name of the model). However, the second query is much more valuable for a seller of monitors. It is also easier to get traffic from it because its competition rate is low; there are not many other sites owned by sellers of Samsung 710N monitors. This example highlights another possible difference between frequent and rare search queries that should be taken into account – rare search queries may provide you with less visitors overall, but more targeted visitors.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.3 Evaluating the competition rates of search queries&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have finalized your keywords list, you should identify the core keywords for which you will optimize your pages. A suggested technique for this follows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Rare queries are discarded at once (for the time being). In the previous section, we described the usefulness of such rare queries but they do not require special optimization. They are likely to occur naturally in your website text.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;As a rule, the competition rate is very high for the most popular phrases. This is why you need to get a realistic idea of the competitiveness of your site. To evaluate the competition rate you should estimate a number of parameters for the first 10 sites displayed in search results:&lt;br /&gt;- The average PageRank of the pages in the search results.&lt;br /&gt;- The average number of links to these sites. Check this using a variety of search engines.&lt;br /&gt;Additional parameters:&lt;br /&gt;- The number of pages on the Internet that contain the particular search term, the total number of search results for that search term.&lt;br /&gt;- The number of pages on the Internet that contain exact matches to the keyword phrase. The search for the phrase is bracketed by quotation marks to obtain this number.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;These additional parameters allow you to indirectly evaluate how difficult it will be to get your site near the top of the list for this particular phrase. As well as the parameters described, you can also check the number of sites present in your search results in the main directories, such as DMOZ and Yahoo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The analysis of the parameters mentioned above and their comparison with those of your own site will allow you to predict with reasonable certainty the chances of getting your site to the top of the list for a particular phrase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Having evaluated the competition rate for all of your keyword phrases, you can now select a number of moderately popular key phrases with an acceptable competition rate, which you can use to promote and optimize your site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.4 Refining your keyword phrases&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned above, search engine services often give inaccurate keyword information. This means that it is unusual to obtain an optimum set of site keywords at your first attempt. After your site is up and running and you have carried out some initial promotion, you can obtain additional keyword statistics, which will facilitate some fine-tuning. For example, you will be able to obtain the search results rating of your site for particular phrases and you will also have the number of visits to your site for these phrases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;With this information, you can clearly define the good and bad keyword phrases. Often there is no need to wait until your site gets near the top of all search engines for the phrases you are evaluating – one or two search engines are enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Example. Suppose your site occupies first place in the Yahoo search engine for a particular phrase. At the same time, this site is not yet listed in MSN, or Google search results for this phrase. However, if you know the percentage of visits to your site from various search engines (for instance, Google – 70%, Yahoo – 20%, MSN search – 10%), you can predict the approximate amount of traffic for this phrase from these other searches engines and decide whether it is suitable.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;As well as detecting bad phrases, you may find some new good ones. For example, you may see that a keyword phrase you did not optimize your site for brings useful traffic despite the fact that your site is on the second or third page in search results for this phrase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Using these methods, you will arrive at a new refined set of keyword phrases. You should now start reconstructing your site: Change the text to include more of the good phrases, create new pages for new phrases, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;You can repeat this seo exercise several times and, after a while, you will have an optimum set of key phrases for your site and considerably increased search traffic.&lt;br /&gt;Here are some more tips. According to statistics, the main page takes up to 30%-50% of all search traffic. It has the highest visibility in search engines and it has the largest number of inbound links. That is why you should optimize the main page of your site to match the most popular and competitive queries. Each site page should be optimized for one or two main word combinations and, possibly for a number of rare queries. This will increase the chances for the page get to the top of search engine lists for particular phrases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;6 Miscellaneous information on search engines&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.1 Google SandBox &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the beginning of 2004, a new and mysterious term appeared among seo specialists – &lt;i&gt;Google SandBox&lt;/i&gt;. This is the name of a new Google spam filter that excludes new sites from search results. The work of the SandBox filter results in new sites being absent from search results for virtually any phrase. This even happens with sites that have high-quality unique content and which are promoted using legitimate techniques.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The SandBox is currently applied only to the English segment of the Internet; sites in other languages are not yet affected by this filter. However, this filter may expand its influence. It is assumed that the aim of the SandBox filter is to exclude spam sites – indeed, no search spammer will be able to wait for months until he gets the necessary results. However, many perfectly valid new sites suffer the consequences. So far, there is no precise information as to what the SandBox filter actually is. Here are some assumptions based on practical seo experience:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- SandBox is a filter that is applied to new sites. A new site is put in the sandbox and is kept there for some time until the search engine starts treating it as a normal site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- SandBox is a filter applied to new inbound links to new sites. There is a fundamental difference between this and the previous assumption: the filter is not based on the age of the site, but on the age of inbound links to the site. In other words, Google treats the site normally but it refuses to acknowledge any inbound links to it unless they have existed for several months. Since such inbound links are one of the main ranking factors, ignoring inbound links is equivalent to the site being absent from search results. It is difficult to say which of these assumptions is true, it is quite possible that they are both true.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- The site may be kept in the sandbox from 3 months to a year or more. It has also been noticed that sites are released from the sandbox in batches. This means that the time sites are kept in the sandbox is not calculated individually for each site, but for groups of sites. All sites created within a certain time period are put into the same group and they are eventually all released at the same time. Thus, individual sites in a group can spend different times in the sandbox depending where they were in the group capture-release cycle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Typical indications that your site is in the sandbox include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Your site is normally indexed by Google and the search robot regularly visits it.&lt;br /&gt;- Your site has a PageRank; the search engine knows about and correctly displays inbound links to your site.&lt;br /&gt;- A search by site address (www.site.com) displays correct results, with the correct title, snippet (resource description), etc.&lt;br /&gt;- Your site is found by rare and unique word combinations present in the text of its pages.&lt;br /&gt;- Your site is not displayed in the first thousand results for any other queries, even for those for which it was initially created. Sometimes, there are exceptions and the site appears among 500-600 positions for some queries. This does not change the sandbox situation, of course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;There no practical ways to bypass the Sandbox filter. There have been some suggestions about how it may be done, but they are no more than suggestions and are of little use to a regular webmaster. The best course of action is to continue seo work on the site content and structure and wait patiently until the sandbox is disabled after which you can expect a dramatic increase in ratings, up to 400-500 positions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.2 Google LocalRank&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;i&gt;February 25, 2003,&lt;/i&gt; the Google Company patented a new algorithm for ranking pages called&lt;i&gt;LocalRank&lt;/i&gt;. It is based on the idea that pages should be ranked not by their global link citations, but by how they are cited among pages that deal with topics related to the particular query. The LocalRank algorithm is not used in practice (at least, not in the form it is described in the patent). However, the patent contains several interesting innovations we think any seo specialist should know about. Nearly all search engines already take into account the topics to which referring pages are devoted. It seems that rather different algorithms are used for the LocalRank algorithm and studying the patent will allow us to learn general ideas about how it may be implemented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;While reading this section, please bear in mind that it contains theoretical information rather than practical guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The following three items comprise the main idea of the LocalRank algorithm:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;1. An algorithm is used to select a certain number of documents relevant to the search query (let it be &lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt;). These documents are initially sorted by some criteria (this may be PageRank, relevance or a group of other criteria). Let us call the numeric value of this criterion &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;OldScore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;2. Each of the &lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt; N selected pages goes through a new ranking procedure and it gets a new rank. Let us call it &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;LocalScore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;3. The &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;OldScore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;LocalScore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; values for each page are multiplied, to yield a new value –&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;NewScore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The pages are finally ranked based on NewScore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The key procedure in this algorithm is the new ranking procedure, which gives each page a new LocalScore rank. Let us examine this new procedure in more detail:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;0. An initial ranking algorithm is used to select &lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt; pages relevant to the search query. Each of the&lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt; pages is allocated an &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;OldScore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; value by this algorithm. The new ranking algorithm only needs to work on these &lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt; selected pages. &lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;1. While calculating &lt;b&gt;LocalScore&lt;/b&gt; for each page, the system selects those pages from &lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt; that have inbound links to this page. Let this number be &lt;b&gt;M&lt;/b&gt;. At the same time, any other pages from the same host (as determined by IP address) and pages that are mirrors of the given page will be excluded from &lt;b&gt;M&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;2. The set &lt;b&gt;M&lt;/b&gt; is divided into subsets &lt;b&gt;Li&lt;/b&gt;. These subsets contain pages grouped according to the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;- Belonging to one (or similar) hosts. Thus, pages whose first three octets in their IP addresses are the same will get into one group. This means that pages whose IP addresses belong to the range &lt;i&gt;xxx.xxx.xxx.0&lt;/i&gt; to &lt;i&gt;xxx.xxx.xxx.255&lt;/i&gt; will be considered as belonging to one group.&lt;br /&gt;- Pages that have the same or similar content (&lt;i&gt;mirrors&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;- Pages on the same site (domain).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;3. Each page in each &lt;b&gt;Li&lt;/b&gt; subset has rank &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt;. One page with the largest &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt; rank is taken from each subset, the rest of pages are excluded from the analysis. Thus, we get some subset of pages &lt;b&gt;K&lt;/b&gt; referring to this page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;4. Pages in the subset &lt;b&gt;K&lt;/b&gt; are sorted by the &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt; parameter, then only the first &lt;b&gt;k&lt;/b&gt; pages (&lt;b&gt;k&lt;/b&gt; is some predefined number) are left in the subset &lt;b&gt;K&lt;/b&gt;. The rest of the pages are excluded from the analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;5. &lt;b&gt;LocalScore&lt;/b&gt; is calculated in this step. The &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt; parameters are combined together for the rest of &lt;b&gt;k&lt;/b&gt; pages. This can be shown with the help of the following formula:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center; line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://searchengineoptimizationdelhi.wordpress.com/DOCUME%7E1/ut/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif" alt="formula.JPG - 2826 Bytes" border="0" height="50" width="187" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(176, 176, 176); border-right-color: rgb(176, 176, 176); border-bottom-color: rgb(176, 176, 176); border-left-color: rgb(176, 176, 176); margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;   Here &lt;b&gt;m&lt;/b&gt; is some predefined parameter that may vary from one to three.

Algorithms that do not take into account the link text are used for this. For example, relevance and overall link popularity are used. We now have a set of &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt; values. &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt; is the rating of each page based on relevance, overall link popularity and other factors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;In step 1) pages with inbound links to the page of interest are selected from the group obtained in step 0). The group is whittled down by removing mirror and other sites in steps 2), 3) and 4) so that we are left with a set of genuinely unique sites that all share a common theme with the page that is under analysis. By analyzing inbound links from pages in this group (ignoring all other pages on the Internet), we get the local (thematic) link popularity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;LocalScore&lt;/b&gt; values are then calculated in step 5). LocalScore is the rating of a page among the set of pages that are related by topic. Finally, pages are rated and ranked using a combination of&lt;b&gt;LocalScore&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;OldScore&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.3 Seo tips, assumptions, observations&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This section provides information based on an analysis of various seo articles, communication between optimization specialists, practical experience and so on. It is a collection of interesting and useful tips ideas and suppositions. Do not regard this section as written in stone, but rather as a collection of information and suggestions for your consideration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Outbound links. Publish links to authoritative resources in your subject field using the necessary keywords. Search engines place a high value on links to other resources based on the same topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Outbound links. Do not publish links to FFA sites and other sites excluded from the indexes of search engines. Doing so may lower the rating of your own site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Outbound links. A page should not contain more than 50-100 outbound links. More links will not harm your site rating but links beyond that number will not be recognized by search engines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Inbound site-wide links. These are links published on every page of the site. It is believed that search engines do not approve of such links and do not consider them while ranking pages. Another opinion is that this is true only for large sites with thousands of pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- The ideal keyword density is a frequent seo discussion topic. The real answer is that there is no ideal keyword density. It is different for each query and search engines calculate it dynamically for each search query. Our advice is to analyze the first few sites in search results for a particular query. This will allow you to evaluate the approximate optimum density for specific queries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Site age. Search engines prefer old sites because they are more stable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Site updates. Search engines prefer sites that are constantly developing. Developing sites are those in which new information and new pages periodically appear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Domain zone. Search engines prefer sites that are located in the zones .edu, .mil, .gov, etc. Only the corresponding organizations can register such domains so these domains are more trustworthy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Search engines track the percent of visitors that immediately return to searching after they visit a site via a search result link. A large number of immediate returns means that the content is probably not related to the corresponding topic and the ranking of such a page gets lower.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Search engines track how often a link is selected in search results. If some link is only occasionally selected, it means that the page is of little interest and the rating of such a page gets lower&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Use synonyms and derived word forms of keywords, search engines will appreciate that (&lt;i&gt;keyword stemming&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;;    - Search engines consider a very rapid increase in inbound links as artificial promotion and this results in lowering of the rating. This is a controversial topic because this method could be used to lower the rating of one’s competitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Google does not take into account inbound links if they are on the same (or similar) hosts. This is detected using host IP addresses. Pages whose IP addresses are within the range of&lt;i&gt;xxx.xxx.xxx.0&lt;/i&gt; to &lt;i&gt;xxx.xxx.xxx.255&lt;/i&gt;. are regarded as being on the same host. This opinion is most likely to be rooted in the fact that Google have expressed this idea in their patents. However, Google employees claim that no limitations of IP addresses are imposed on inbound links and there are no reasons not to believe them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Search engines check information about the owners of domains. Inbound links originating from a variety of sites all belonging to one owner are regarded as less important than normal links. This information is presented in a patent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Search engines prefer sites with longer term domain registrations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.4 Creating correct content&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The content of a site plays an important role in site promotion for many reasons. We will describe some of them in this section. We will also give you some advice on how to populate your site with good content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Content uniqueness. Search engines value new information that has not been published before. That is why you should compose own site text and not plagiarize excessively. A site based on materials taken from other sites is much less likely to get to the top in search engines. As a rule, original source material is always higher in search results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- While creating a site, remember that it is primarily created for human visitors, not search engines. Getting visitors to visit your site is only the first step and it is the easiest one. The truly difficult task is to make them stay on the site and convert them into purchasers. You can only do this by using good content that is interesting to real people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Try to update information on the site and add new pages on a regular basis. Search engines value sites that are constantly developing. Also, the more useful text your site contains, the more visitors it attracts. Write articles on the topic of your site, publish visitors’ opinions, create a forum for discussing your project. A forum is only useful if the number of visitors is sufficient for it to be active. Interesting and attractive content guarantees that the site will attract interested visitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- A site created for people rather than search engines has a better chance of getting into important directories such as DMOZ and others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- An interesting site on a particular topic has much better chances to get links, comments, reviews, etc. from other sites on this topic. Such reviews can give you a good flow of visitors while inbound links from such resources will be highly valued by search engines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- As final tip…there is an old German proverb: “A shoemaker sticks to his last” which means, “Do what you can do best.” If you can write breathtaking and creative textual prose for your website then that is great. However, most of us have no special talent for writing attractive text and we should rely on professionals such as journalists and technical writers. Of course, this is an extra expense, but it is justified in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.5 Selecting a domain and hosting&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, anyone can create a page on the Internet without incurring any expense. Also, there are companies providing free hosting services that will publish your page in return for their entitlement to display advertising on it. Many Internet service providers will also allow you to publish your page on their servers if you are their client. However, all these variations have serious drawbacks that you should seriously consider if you are creating a commercial project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;First, and most importantly, you should obtain your own domain for the following reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- A project that does not have its own domain is regarded as a transient project. Indeed, why should we trust a resource if its owners are not even prepared to invest in the tiny sum required to create some sort of minimum corporate image? It is possible to publish free materials using resources based on free or ISP-based hosting, but any attempt to create a commercial project without your own domain is doomed to failure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Your own domain allows you to choose your hosting provider. If necessary, you can move your site to another hosting provider at any time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Here are some useful tips for choosing a domain name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Try to make it easy to remember and make sure there is only one way to pronounce and spell it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Domains with the extension .com are the best choice to promote international projects in English. Domains from the zones .net, .org, .biz, etc., are available but less preferable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- If you want to promote a site with a national flavor, use a domain from the corresponding national zone. Use .de – for German sites, .it – for Italian sites, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- In the case of sites containing two or more languages, you should assign a separate domain to each language. National search engines are more likely to appreciate such an approach than subsections for various languages located on one site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;A domain costs $10-20 a year, depending on the particular registration service and zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;You should take the following factors into consideration when choosing a hosting provider:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;- Access bandwidth.&lt;br /&gt;- Server uptime.&lt;br /&gt;- The cost of traffic per gigabyte and the amount of prepaid traffic.&lt;br /&gt;- The site is best located in the same geographical region as most of your expected visitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The cost of hosting services for small projects is around $5-10 per month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Avoid “free” offers while choosing a domain and a hosting provider. Hosting providers sometimes offer free domains to their clients. Such domains are often registered not to you, but to the hosting company. The hosting provider will be the owner of the domain. This means that you will not be able to change the hosting service of your project, or you could even be forced to buy out your own domain at a premium price. Also, you should not register your domains via your hosting company. This may make moving your site to another hosting company more difficult even though you are the owner of your domain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.6 Changing the site address&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may need to change the address of your project. Maybe the resource was started on a free hosting service and has developed into a more commercial project that should have its own domain. Or maybe the owner has simply found a better name for the project. In any case, moving to a new address can be problematic and it is a difficult and unpleasant task to move a project to a new address. For starters, you will have to start promoting the new address almost from scratch. However, if the move is inevitable, you may as well make the change as useful as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Our advice is to create your new site at the new location with new and unique content. Place highly visible links to the new resource on the old site to allow visitors to easily navigate to your new site. Do not completely delete the old site and its contents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;This approach will allow you to get visitors from search engines to both the old site and the new one. At the same time, you get an opportunity to cover additional topics and keywords, which may be more difficult within one resource.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;7 SEO software review&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;In previous chapters, we explained how to create your own site and what methods are available to promote it. This last section is devoted to seo software tools that can automate much of the seo work on your site and can achieve even better results. We will discuss the Seo Administrator seo software suite that you can download from our site (&lt;a href="http://www.seoadministrator.com/" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(10, 143, 188); "&gt;www.seoadministrator.com&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.1 Ranking Monitor&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any seo optimization specialist is faced with the regular task of checking the positions of his sites in the search engines. You could check these positions manually, but if you have several dozen keywords and 5-7 search engines to monitor, the process becomes a real chore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;The Ranking Monitor module will do everything automatically. You are able to see information on your site ratings for any keywords and in a variety of search engines. You will also see the dynamics and history of your site positions as well as upward and downward trends in your site position for your specified keywords. The same information is also displayed in a visual form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.2 Link Popularity Checker&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This program will automatically poll all available search engines and create a complete duplicate-free list of inbound links to your resource. For each link, you will see important parameters such as the link text and PageRank of the referring page. If you have studied this article, you will know how important these parameters are. As well as viewing the overall list of inbound links, you can track how the inbound links change over time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.3 Site Indexation Tool&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This useful tool will show you all pages indexed by a particular search engine. It is a must-have tool for anybody who is creating a new web resource. The PageRank value will be displayed for each indexed page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.4 Log Analyzer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All information about your visitors is stored in the log files of your server. The log analyzer module will present this information in convenient and visual reports. Displayed information includes:&lt;br /&gt;- Originating sites&lt;br /&gt;- Keywords used,&lt;br /&gt;- What country they are from&lt;br /&gt;- Much more…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.5 Page Rank Analyzer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This utility collects a huge amount of competitive information on the list of sites that you specify. For each site it automatically determines parameters such as Google PageRank, the number of inbound links and the presence of each site in the DMOZ and Yahoo directories. It is an ideal tool for analyzing the competition rate of a particular query.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.6 Keyword Suggestion Tool&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This tool gathers relevant keywords for your site and displays their popularity (the number of queries per month). It also estimates the competition rate of a specified keyword phrase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.7 HTML Analyzer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This application analyzes the HTML code of a page. It estimates the weight and density of keywords and creates a report on the correct optimization of the site text. It is useful during the creation your own site and is also a great tool for analyzing your competitors’ sites. It allows you to analyze both local HTML pages and online projects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;Instead of a conclusion: promoting your site step by step&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;In this section, I will explain how I use seo in promoting my own sites. It is a kind of systematic summary where I briefly recap the previous sections. Naturally, I use Seo Administrator seo software extensively in my work and so I will show how I use it in this example.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;To be able to start working with a site, you have to possess some basic seo knowledge. This can be acquired quite quickly. The information presented in this document is perfectly adequate and I must stress that you do not have to be an optimization guru to achieve results. Once you have this basic knowledge you can then start work, experimenting, getting sites to the top of the search listings and so on. That is where seo software tools are useful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;1. Firstly, we create an approximate list of keywords and check their competition rate. We then evaluate our chances against the competition and select words that are popular enough and have average competition rate. Keywords are selected using the keyword suggestion tool. This is also used to perform a rough check of their competition rate. We use the PageRank Analyzer module to perform a detailed analysis of search results for the most interesting queries and then make our final decision about what keywords to use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;2. Next, we start composing text for our site. I write part of it on my own, but I entrust the most important parts to specialists in technical writing. Actually, I think the quality and attractiveness of the text is the most important attribute of a page. If the textual content is good, it will be easier to get inbound links and visitors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;3. In this step, we start using the HTML Analyzer module to create the necessary keyword density. Each page is optimized for its own keyword phrase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;4. We submit the site to various directories. There are plenty of services to take care of that chore for us. In addition, Seo Administrator will soon have a feature to automate the task.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;5. After these initial steps are completed, we wait and check search engine indexation to make sure that various search engines are processing the site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;6. In this step, we can begin to check the positions of the site for our keywords. These positions are not likely to be good at this early stage, but they will give us some useful information to begin fine-tuning seo work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;7. We use the Link Popularity Checker module to track and work on increasing the link popularity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;.    8. We use the Log Analyzer module to analyze the number of visitors and work on increasing it. We also periodically repeat steps 6) - 8).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 1.6em; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); "&gt;SEO services - start-up seo package&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Our Start-up package is a group of seo services for those who want to optimize their websites and do their own promotion.
