Eight Things to Avoid Like the Plague in SEO
November 17, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
If you ask the average webmaster what’s safe and what’s risky in the realm of SEO, most will tell you to make an honest site and build backlinks, and don’t try to trick the search engines.While this is a true and good answer, it still doesn’t help you specifically with what not to do. The “bad” list or not so safe ranges from things that make it hard for a search engine spider to crawl your site to things that can get you banned.1. Entirely JavaScript / flash site a bad idea.While some JavaScript and flash add-ins can make for a great web experience, making a site entirely JavaScript or flash will make it hard for a search engine spider to crawl. This will likely result in not getting the search engine results ranking you really deserve Use regular HTML for links, and a sitemap to ensure the website can be crawled.2. Avoid excessive graphics and flash presentations.The reason for this is two fold. This is purely about visitor experience. If a web page takes too long to load (more than a few seconds), the average visitor will quickly hit the back button and you’ve lost your potential visitor. On this same token avoid very large graphics, instead using thumbnails and allowing the visitor to see a large version if they desire.3. Avoid the “quickly get submitted to thousands of search engines” deals.While many of these do what they say, keep in mind that 98-99% of all search engines are powered by Google, Yahoo, or MSN. Just keep these 3 in mind and you’re covered.4. Don’t submit your webpage to search engines too often.Submitting your webpage urn to search engines if it’s new is considered ok (though with backlinks not necessary). Search engines prefer to find your website through backlinks since that is how your webpage gets it reputation and relevance. 5. Avoid keyword stuffing / spamming.Avoid the temptation to use tons of keywords on your webpage only to try to impress search engines and get a higher ranking. Your search engines results ranking depends upon dozens of factors, only one of which is your webpage content. Write your webpage for visitors with your keywords in the back of your mind and you’ll be in good shape.6. Avoid hidden text.Hidden text is where a webmaster tries to hide keyword stuffing in plain sight, with a font color the same or nearly the same as the background. This gears it only towards the search engine, and search engines are very adept at catching this. This is the old trick that everyone knows and can very quickly knock your site ranking to near zero.7. Avoid cloaking.This is when the webpage your give to visitors is different than the one you give to search engines. Normally the one given to search engines is perfectly optimized for them, but search engines obviously don’t like this as the page they index and serve is different than the one that exists for visitors in reality. This can very quickly get your site banned forever from the search engines.8. Don’t forget, backlinks make the site.This is sometimes overlooked, but a website with backlinks plays a small part in the internet and appears to have less relevance. While how your site is ranked for search results has a lot to do with your content, your link popularity is a major part of how important your website is perceived to the search engines. Miss this one, and your traffic will suffer until you right it.As you can see, the list of things to avoid can affect your site from appearing invisible on the internet, to getting outright banned by search engines and knocking out 80-90% of your traffic. In general, try not to misrepresent your website to the search engines. Let them index what visitors see, and don’t modify your website to try to trick the search engines. Just run a site with good content for visitors, and get quality backlinks, and you’re on the right road.Most people know what things to avoid in the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) game. However, many do not fully know what is over the line and to avoid like the plague.

Black Hat SEO
November 14, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Black Hat search engine optimization is defined as techniques that are used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner. These black hat SEO techniques usually include one or more of the following characteristics:
1. One who breaks search engine rules.
2. Unethically presents content in a different visual or non-visual way to search engine spiders and search engine users.
These black hat SEO practices will actually provide short-term gains in terms of rankings, but if you are discovered utilizing these spammy techniques on your Web site, you run the risk of being penalized by search engines. Black hat SEO basically is a short-sighted solution to a long-term problem, which is creating a Web site that provides both a great user experience and all that goes with that. A partial listing of black hat tactics is as below :
Keyword Stuffing : Repeating a keyword or words over and over again on a given web page. Google’s algorithms work very hard at trying to find pages that read like normal text not like a broken record. If they suspect you are just trying to “stuff” the content of your site with keywords, they will penalize you for it.
Cloaking : Is a technique where a webmaster will have two versions of a given web page, one version that it shows the search engine spiders, and one version that it shows the regular web surfer. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses or the User-Agent HTTP header of the user requesting the page. When a user is identified as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different version of the web page, one that contains content not present on the visible page. The purpose of cloaking is to deceive search engines so they display the page when it would not otherwise be displayed.
Invisible Text : Filling a web page with text that is having the same color as the background.
Doorway Page : A highly optimized web page whose purpose is to direct traffic to other pages using either a redirect method or merely by being full of links that direct you to other web pages.
Spam Page : It is a page that is full of ads by which a webmaster makes money of it if someone clicks on them.
Interlinking : Setting up multiple websites about a given topic and having them all link to each other in order to increase their relevance and subsequently their rankings in the search engines.
Selling PR : If you have a high PR website, you sell links from your site to another for cash. Helping their site rank higher in Google and in turn making your wallet heavier.
Buying Expired Domains : Buying expired websites that had some decent PageRank in order to try and keep the site’s inbound links.Black Hat SEO tricks work temporarily. They end up getting sites higher search rankings until these sites get banned for using unethical practices. It’s just not worth the risk. Use efficient search engine optimization techniques to get your site ranked higher, and stay away from anything that even looks like Black Hat SEO.

SEO Tips to Increase Blog Traffic
November 1, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
While it is true that “content is king” in blog publishing, writing blog content is not the only activity that a blogger should do to attract a following. Quality SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is also important, otherwise the blog remains a well-kept secret — all content and very few visitors.
Many bloggers may not know it, but there are actually several SEO tips that will come in handy to turn an ordinary blog into a highly trafficked site.
Placing Keywords Strategically
One of the most important SEO tips to remember is that search engines like Google and Yahoo, which send out automated web crawlers or “spiders” to categorize and rank all published web sites and blogs in the Internet, do so by searching for relevant content through prominently and strategically displayed keywords. Make sure to follow the following best practices:
1. The title (<title>) tag of the website is always crawled (i.e. noticed) by search engine spiders. The blog with keywords placed in the title tag will be placed higher on search engines.
2. The heading (<h2>) tags are also commonly crawled. This means keywords should be incorporated in the titles of each blog whenever possible.
3. Images in a blog are ignored by the search engine spider, but keywords placed as textual descriptions in the <alt> tags of images are not. This is one of the SEO tips that is specifically for graphics-driven posts like photography or travel blogs.
4. Search engine spiders do not ignore keywords in inbound or outbound links to blog sites. For inbound links from other websites to your blog, this means using the keyword as part of the anchor text (the clickable text in a link). For outbound links on your blog to other webpages, make sure that your URL link has the keyword.
5. Another relevant SEO tip is achieving the right number of keywords to preserve keyword density (how frequent the keyword appears in your page). The blogger has direct control over this metric, by writing blog posts with around 3% keyword density. More than that could annoy blog readers and the post may be construed as spam. However, less than 7% may cause the spiders to miss the keyword for the blog.
6. Search engine spiders are also friendly toward keyword synonyms. So feel free to incorporate synonyms to limit keyword monotony in blog posts, and at the same time continue to optimize your blog site.
Linking for Ranking
Another useful SEO tip is establishing quality links in the blog, particularly incoming links from similar sites. Similar sites translate to websites that are technically your niche competitors. Getting competitor sites to link to your blog is considered a major vote that increases the blog’s status in your niche circle, as well as in search engine rankings.
Another SEO tip related to links is the setup of long-lasting inbound links. Aging links are favored by search engines, interpreted as an endorsement by the linking website and as a proof of organic link-building.
On the other hand, avoid broken links at all cost, because search engines will demote blog ranking if they find links to non-existent sites.
Different search engines index and rank websites according to their own algorithms, although many SEO tips focus on keywords and link building because they are common to almost all search engines. Google, in particular, uses sitemaps to index blogs and websites. The use of the robots.txt file is also another methodology that search engines use to ignore or index a site. Use the file carefully to ban or un-ban certain portions of your site from search engine rankings.

Setting Up Wordpress Permalinks to Maximize Search Engine Rankings
October 26, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Wordpress has become one of the most popular content management systems and blogging platforms for many people in today’s connected world, rivaled only by Typepad (another content management system) because of Typepad’s mobile blogging capabilities.
Among the features that make Wordpress so popular are the simple interface and secure environment, but when it comes to making money with your Wordpress blog you are going to want to rely on plugins and additions in order to maximize traffic, search engine rankings and revenue potential.
What you are going to learn in this article is the concept of a permalink as it relates to your Wordpress blog, as well as how you can tweak this feature in order to gain more control over the way your page address is displayed, the way that a search engine spider will rank each individual page, and even how you can use keywords properly in order to serve the highest paying contextual ads (using Google’s Adsense program for example).
First, what is a permalink? Well it is just like it sounds, it is a permanent link to a post on your blog. In order to understand the concept behind permalinks it is important to understand exactly what a CMS does and why this can be so much easier than running a traditional HTML website.
In a nutshell, the purpose behind a content management system (CMS) is to completely separate the content from the page layout, as well as to provide a simple interface where it is easy to add new content. It is also important to note that the structure of a blog is different than a traditional HTML site; whereas in traditional sites new content will be added via ‘deep linking,’ new content on a blog shows up directly on the front page. This is why permalinks are important, because your post will show up on the front page of your blog only temporarily and it needs to have a permanent link as well.
There are many different criteria that you can use when setting up your permalink structure, and this is where search engine optimization and relevant high-paying Adsense ads come in to the picture. One of the biggest factors in search engine algorithms and contextual ad serving technology is filenames, and so it is important to create a permalink structure for your Wordpress blog that will include relevant keywords that are prechosen for your title.
The default permalink structure (depending on your version of Wordpress) will either be simply numbering each post sequentially or it will be the date of the post. This does not tell a search engine spider any relevant information about your post, and as such your pages will usually rank lower in any type of hypertext-based search engine.
What you need to do to make your Wordpress posts search engine friendly is to make your permalinks display the post title and possibly category title, and then choose post and category titles that include keywords relevant to your topic. You can optimize your pages for higher paying Adsense ads by determining which keywords pay out the most per click and then using those keywords in your post and category titles.
