How
to Avoid Search Engine Spamming
Jun 30, 2010
People who are found guilty of spamming the search engine, many of them do not even realize that why they spamming. Following are some of the methods that help them in improving ranks but actually it cause them in descending in their website ranking.
Some important points to avoid:
1- Use text with the same color as that of background color in order to hide text.
2- A common mistake is repeating keywords in Meta tags again and again. In my discussion with some of the gurus in this business they suggest that no words should be appear in the Meta description and in Meta keywords more than three times.
3- Title is one of the most important factors of on page Search Engine Optimization. It must be appealing and attractive. Title like "SEO Services, SEO Services, SEO Service...etc" is consider as spam and also found very less attraction from the people.
4- Avoid overloading page with keywords. Content of the page must not abuse reader. This technique is easy to spot, and it is clearly spam.
5- Replace the indexed page content with another page. Unrelated and misleading words on your page or in Meta description in order to attract visitors how are searching for that word. Like use of word "Michel Jackson" on a site having business of furniture.
6-Create such page that restricts the users to go back to the SERP (search engine result page).
7- Avoid the submission of same page to the search engines again and again.
8- Avoid the use of transparent gif. This is done by assigning them with same alt text.
9- Last but not the least doesn't use multiple versions of title tag. They may help for some time but easily caught by the search engine.
This is just starting hints. There are some more advanced spamming techniques that must be avoided, but I hope you get a good idea how to remain safe for being called spammer. Try to follow these rules as these rules must be your model for what to do and what not to.

Link Building Secrets!
Jun 30, 2010
Following are some major points that must be kept in mind while doing the Link Building activity. I suggest you to read this article carefully and implement each step in your activity.
Try to use your targeted keywords in anchor text as much as you can. Spread the back links all over the page like top of the page, or between the paragraphs, navigations etc, not just over the footage or any other particular location.
Link building requires patience's. Don't try to place tons of links at once for the new site. Gradually improves number of links. If a site has average 20 links per day then do not try to get 100 links at once. There is a chance of being banned from Google. Focus must be on quality not on quantity of links, mean try to get link from high PR sites. Avoid not have many of your back links from adult or casino sites normally these sites are known as spam.
Google is keeping a track of all the IP addresses. Try to get link from different IPs. Also keep in mind that if you have 100 links from one site then Google will consider it as one link not 100 links. So try to get links from different high quality websites.
Two ways Links or reciprocal links are also consider as a good option for link building but too many of reciprocal links may cause a problem. Also three way linking may help in this regard but not too much of it. Never underestimate the back links to your internal pages, have the back link for your internal pages too. Use targeted keywords anchor text for these internal pages inbound and out bound links.
Time limit on Back Links in the paid directories plays an important role and this is taken into serious consideration by the Google Sand box filter. So if the link is rented from high PR directory try to focus that link is rented for as long period as possible.
Its normally seems that Google descend the value of back links that have words like sponsor or advertisement. So be aware while you look for back links from such kind of sites. It's seems that Google uses advance relation algorithm, so we need to be careful while we chose our back links. Avoid your website links from the pages that are with bad neighborhood and also the sites that they themselves link to such type of sites.
Google consider number of factors- like the IP Address, domain name, URL, language of the site etc.It is also important to show the search result in the Google country specific searches, so be very conscious about language of the site when you design it for Google.
Articles are always one of the main sources of getting quality link along with traffic. Try to write articles having links towards the resource page of your site. You can hire specialist articles writer who can write for you and also articles submission specialist for articles submission.
Own website linking is another very useful strategy that is used for Link Building like
Link your sites with each other, this technique is really helpful if both the sites contains relevant pages.
It is also possible for you to rent pages with high page ranks (5-9) for various prices but remember to rent only relevant sites. Renting too many sites of high PR is not preferred.

Search Engine Optimization techniques are those factors that search engine algorithm takes into consideration in ranking a website.
In the whole bunch of these techniques there are many great ideas that really help get your site in the top rank. But beside all those great ideas there are some bad ideas that must be avoided if you want to stand along in search engines.

Here is a set of Bad SEO ideas to be avoided to become search engine friendly.
Depending on Meta Tags, Meta Description and Meta Keywords.
In today's world, Search engines rely mostly on user readable text on your site in order to determine its ranking. So take the top most keywords that your page is focused on, plug them in the page, and then forget about it.
Keywords stuffing in invisible form of text with CSS / JS / Flash techniques.
Remember, it can and mostly it will get your site banned by search engines. It could be the text with the same color as the background, and the search engines treated it as a serious offense. Don't Do It...
Getting Links through Purchase
It's the one of the most popular practices. Search engines have the most strategic interest to defeat this. Google uses many techniques to detect purchased links.
Implementation of Duplicate Content
This can be done in many ways, like many sites have more than 2-3 ways of navigation to the same content. Remember!! Search engine rank the same content only once and penalize the duplicate content very seriously even you can get banned.
Cloaking, also called Doorway Pages
It means, designing of the two pages, one for the crawler and the other for the users. You show two different things to crawler and users. After getting observed by search engines, it will lead to the site being banned.
So, what's the base line?
Learn the most effective ways to communicate to the search engine. I recommend you to learn these effective ways from my SEO Blog. Don't ever try to cross the search engines, you can get success in the short time, but the day search engine got you, a significant piece of your web page would be disappeared overnight.

Its really is a serious business because its not only losing the rank but it also effects the business and revenue by losing hundred and thousands of visitors.
Before starting actual point I just hope that you may have good knowledge about how to select targeted keywords. I hope at the end of this article you should have a good knowledge about HTML Title tag with regard to SERP (search engine results page) is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query. Also helps individuals how are interested in your site for having business with you.
What is the title tag?
In an HTML site,HTML elements are tags and text which tells web browser how browser will handle page and how it presented on end user computer.Title tag is normally define as<title></title>, it is the requirement of every HTML and XHTML document. Title tags is one of most important factor that's help the search engine to determine the relevancy of the page against search query. Search engine plays special attention on phrases or words written in title tags. Thus instead of using title "information" which doesn't provide any relevancy give some more relevant words or phrases like title "web application development information" . Every word in the title tag must be contained some whereon the page they are used for. Your goal is to promote your web page and read it by your desired audience.

In my conversation with some leading seos in this business they have opinion to have short title tag round about 64characters. It may be truncate by search engines if it is tooling.
There are numerous tools available in market which gives some good help to see how much our selected title tag invalid for searching and how much it helps to gain fruitful response in search query results. The tool which I normally use to see effectiveness of is Google webmaster tools.
Example of a good title tag

Also your site must fulfill all the requirements of search engine optimization both on-page and off-page optimization.

This would be highly optimized title tag of your site. Start working as a search engine optimizer and get your site fully optimized to get the to prank.

Web Site Design - Steps to Remember
May 31, 2010
How to Design a Search Engine Friendly Website
Designers design their websites in-order to attract more and more traffic to their websites. There are many ways, to promote and market a site to get traffic like Search Engine Optimization and internet marketing techniques. However, here my main focus is not on those SEO and internet marketing techniques, I will discuss very basic and major factor for a search engine friendly website i.e. Web Site Design. There are certain steps and things to remember while designing a website to make it search engine friendly because poorly designed website means low ranking which means less traffic and ultimately you will lose your potential visitors.
No matter you have written the best content and kept your focus on the highly target keywords on the internet, if your website is visually rough and rasping and have very confusing navigational scheme, you potential traffic is gone astray.
Steps to Remember for search-friendly website
Very first thing to remember is, it's not only the human that visits your site but also the search engine bots that keep on visiting the site after a period of time. You have to design the site by keeping in mind both the human visitors and search engine spiders or bots.
These are basic factors that you have to keep in mind to make the search engine happy
- Site-map & Robot.txt files
Don't forget to add the XML or HTML file of site-map in your website design. As this site-map acts as a road map of your site for the search engine. You can create sit-map.XML file very easily through one of the tools easily download able. Now comes the robots.txt, always add this file in your website main folder while submitting your URL to the search engine. You can write this file yourself or can get it from the net; this file is specifically written for the search engines.
Some of the content on your website is specifically written for the search engines. There are many tags in your design code that normal visitor didn't see or notice but search engine's main focus would be on that content. Meta description and Meta Keywords are the examples of such content. Meta Key words are written specifically for the search engines, visitor has nothing to do with it, similarly Meta description of the website is written by keeping in mind the search engines. Take your time to write the contents of these tags and the title tags as there would be much affect on your site with these contents from the eyes of search engines.
If you want to avoid the "page not found" error then make your site hierarchy clear and consistent. There must be a link from every page of your site to any page of your site. Spend your time to make the navigation clear as with bad navigation your ratings would affect in the eyes of both visitor and search engine.
It's a tricky balance
There would be no confusion that you have to design your website for both the search engines and the visitors. Always keep the user and search engine in mind, if your site is more user friendly and less search engine friendly than in my view it would not be a good design and vice verse will also not recommended , that s why I wrote that it's a tricky balance.
If you keep these basic factors in mind then it will be a good start for you.

Is Link Building the Most Important SEO Factor?
Jun 30, 2010
The field of search engine optimization is always changing. What works one year for SEO may not work the next year at all, and if it does it may be substantially less effective. That's why it is so crucial to continually evaluate your current SEO tactics to see what remains valid, effective and efficient. Considering this, the question is if link building has officially emerged as the most important factor in ranking highly within the search engines.
Link Building for Page Rank
Page Rank is the official term for the reputation and credibility that your website receives from the Google algorithms. The other major search engines such as Bing and Yahoo! have similar ranking methods, although neither is as prominent or ubiquitous as Page Rank is from Google.
Your website's Page Rank is entirely derived from the quantity and quality of incoming links that lead to your web pages. The higher your site's Page Rank, the higher you will generally appear in the displayed results. Therefore, link building has become one of the hottest topics in the field of search engine optimization over the last several years.
All Link Building is not equal
While link building is a great strategy to boost your site's reputation and therefore your standing in the search engines, it must be noted that not all links are equal. The black hat techniques of link farms no longer hold any weight, and even the tried and true link exchanges that so many websites participate in have been devalued.
Additionally, techniques such as blog commenting and forum posting no longer play a large role in your website's Page Rank. The best links that you can receive for your website are unsolicited one-way links from highly reputable sites within your industry or niche.
Multiple Strategies are still essential
Although link building has emerged as one of the most essential factors for SEO, it is not the only factor that holds any weight. Effective keyword inclusion, the age and makeup of your domain, your website's internal linking structure and more are all still important in terms of how highly you rank in the results of search engines.
Therefore it's crucial that you continue to combine many different strategies to produce the best results. Additionally, never forget that all links are not created equally, and that high quality inbound links will be infinitely more effective than low grade, or black hat links.

Wishful Thinking in Software Application Development
Jun 30, 2010
Software application is usually punctuated by deadlines. If all goes according to plan, deadlines are met on time and the application is released on the due date. However, all too often, the very first deadline is missed. It would be reasonable to expect that the original plan would then warrant a revision to ensure that the upcoming deadlines are met. Unfortunately, team managers can fall into a huge mental trap that has the power to jeopardize the entire project: wishful thinking.
Pretending that an unrealistic schedule can be overcome with hard work and luck.
Don't your developers always work hard? And since when was luck something you can count on? If the schedule requires superhuman effort from the get go, save yourself a world of headaches and revise it. It's better to turn down a project outright than to mislead a customer.
Eliminating quality control throughout development.
Are you thinking that you can save time by creating the different elements of the project separately, without coordinating them as you go along? You will actually add far more time to the end of the project--when all the bugs surface.
Excluding the customer from prototype changes.
If you've changed minor details since the last time you showed the customer the prototype, you owe it to your team and to the customer to get approval. Customers are notorious for not being able to clearly visualize what they want, so even if you explained what you were going to do, the customer may not raise objections until they see a visual.
Wishful thinking is seductive. It's like a dream that you don't want to wake up from. But the catastrophic results of wishful thinking are predictable: missed deadlines, angry customers, and burned-out developers.
The good news is, now that you know what to look for, you can nip wishful thinking in the bud. Stick to realistic schedules, integrated quality control, and ongoing customer sign off. And any time you catch yourself saying, "I'm not sure how we can make this happen, but it will probably work out in the end..." do yourself a favor and snap out of the dream.

Why Search Engine Optimization is Necessary for Online Business
Apr 28, 2010
With over 400 million websites now online, building a site for your company and submitting it to online directories is no longer enough to attract visitors. Your website will have to fight hard to get seen in the search engine results. It will have to fight even harder for a chance to be seen for competitive keywords. And if you want to be on the first page for a keyword, you better hire a professional!
The majority of internet browsers never click past the first page of Google. This means that 99.9% of all sites are left lagging in the jumble of 'more results' while only the top few are ever seen in a search. The difference between these two types of sites is good search engine optimization.
SEO has come a long way in the past few years, and there is now a lot moreinvolved than simply adding your keywords to your Meta tags and content. In fact, adding too many keywords to your copy is considered' keyword stuffing' and can actually harm your performance in the search engine results pages. This is just one of the technical details that a professional SEO company can help you with.
Better SEO means more visitors, and also a better reputation for your company, with your content and products standing a better chance of being mentioned on other sites, included in shopping search results or being considered a 'leader' in your field.
SEO is now a vast area of knowledge, and with so many elements to consider, it is understandable that most business owners feel overwhelmed and confused. Experienced SEO experts can optimize your site for the best performance, carrying out in-depth analysis to find out which keywords to use, where to employ a link strategy and how to drive more traffic to your site.
The investment made in hiring a professional SEO consultant can often also result in less overall advertising spend, as you will have a better idea of your target market and how they find you, and should be a crucial part of your budget for your business.

6 Best Web Designing Tips
Apr 28, 2010
Have you ever wondered what makes a great website? Regardless of subject matter or industry, there are a few key elements that the best websites get right, making them popular and successful. Follow these 6Best Web Designing Tips to make sure that your website is the best it can be.
1. Great Look!
Your site should look fresh and modern, while upholding the same brand image that you have offline. Choose similar colors for your website as you use in other marketing materials, as well as the same logo. The site should be visually appealing, with plenty of interesting features, but not too fussy or distracting. The layout should be easy to understand,letting site visitors easily navigate to the pages that they want.
2. Put Your Customers First
Thinking about search engines, and how your page will rank in Google is great,but there is no point if your visitors will simply click away from your site within a few seconds of landing. Your goal is to convert visitors into customers, so you should make sure your site is customer friendly. Keep popular items and contact details easy to find, and avoid multiple menus where visitors have to click several links before finding the information they need buried within your site structure.
3. Don't Be Spammy
this follows on from the point above, that your site should be designed primarily for visitors, with SEO as a secondary consideration. Don't stuff your pages so full of keywords that the content doesn't make sense. You should also steer clear of bad tactics such as adding lists of keywords to the bottom of your pages, and cluttering up the site with too much advertising.
4. Make it Fast
Visitors online want information fast, and they have no patience to wait around while a large image or fancy graphic loads. Make sure that your pages load quickly, with the most important information loading first. If you are using large image files or videos, place them in a position where the reader can still browse the rest of the page while the bigger elements load. If you have a flash site think about offering a plain html alternative link for visitors with a slow internet connection.
5. Do Your Homework
Think long and hard about your target keywords before you

Web Development Company and your choice
Apr 28, 2010
There are thousands of web development companies to choose from, all claiming to be the best, the cheapest, the most experienced. So how do you know who to select?
First,there are some things that you should watch out for. Many of the rules for hiring a tradesman such as a plumber or electrician are the same for hiring a web development company. With a little knowledge and common sense you should be able to separate the wheat from the chaff and make an educated decision on which company will be right for you.
It is important to remember that if some thing sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Many web development companies oversell their services, claiming to be able to design amazing, complex websites that 'guarantee sales' or that will 'attract millions of new customers'. Steer clear of grandiose statements such as these, especially if they are accompanied by ridiculously small prices. Yes, it is good to look for value, but if a company is selling a complete web package for less than $500, it is likely to be a template design that hundreds of other companies have.
Check their website for evidence of their experience, such as example sites,references and testimonials. Take some time to browse their portfolio. Do you like their designs? Do their sites load quickly,look appealing and seem easy to use? Can you imagine your website in a similar style? Each company has a different taste, and it is important to choose a web designer that you feel will handle your project that way that you want.
Also look for honesty on a web development company's website. They should have clear and simply descriptions of their products and services, with no techno-babble or vague concepts. You should be able to easily see what they offer, what it will cost, and how they will work with you to create your website.
Once you have a short list of designers, email each of them to see what their response is like. It should be fast,friendly and efficient, treating your inquiry with the same care that you would want them to use with your website. Choose a company who you feel you can trust and have a good working relationship with, as well as one that has a strong portfolio of work and glowing testimonials from happy customers.
