XML Sitemaps: The Most Overrated search engine optimization Tactic of all time

noreply@blogger.com (SEO'S GURUS) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:07:00 +0000

XML Sitemaps Don’t Solve Problems

I’ve done SEO on sites as small as 4-5 pages. I’ve done SEO on sites with 15,000,000+ pages. I’ve never once recommended the site owner create an XML sitemap and submit it to the search engines. Sitemaps don’t really solve any problems where indexing and crawlability are concerned. Let’s use a typical 100-page site as an example:

Crawlability Problems

If you have a 100-page site, and the spiders can only access 25 of your pages, fix your crawlability problems. Using a sitemap to solve crawlability issues is never a good idea. It’s like putting a band-aid on your chest after open-heart surgery. You need a lot more help than that.

Indexing Problems

If you have a 100-page site, and the search engine has decided that only 25 of your pages are strong enough to be indexed, forcing the other 75 pages on them via a sitemap isn’t going to help your cause in any way. It’s not going to improve your overall site strength or make your site profile look any better. The solution to getting those 75 pages indexed isn’t to spoon-feed them to the search engine; the solution is to make those pages better by improving the content, acquiring better/more links to them, and so forth.

No Problems?

Scraper: Someone that copies posts from other sources (blogs or websites) and pastes on hiw own website, with or without credit, and without permission of the author. Notice that scraping can occur manually or automaicall, and the scraper uses a RSS feed scraping tool. Scraping is obviously a violation of copyrights.

Splog: A blog that is used to publish spam material. Splogs usually contain text copied from other sources, combined with links or ads of drugs, gambling and similar.

SEO: Acronym for search engine optmization. It includes several activities that are aimed to improve the rankings of a website inside the results page of search engines (mostly Google these days). There are main two groups of activities: on-site optimization, which tries to optimize the different tags and the content on the website; and off-site optimization which tries to work on external factors like the number and quality of backlinks, promotion techniques and so on.

SERP: Acronym for search engine results page. When you search on Google for some keyword or term, you will be presented with 10 results that fit your search query. That page is a SERP.

Freelance World Wide Web designer instruments and productivity management

noreply@blogger.com (SEO'S GURUS) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:41:00 +0000

Basecamp

http://basecamphq.com
This is the most popular (by far) tool for managing projects, nearly every design firm and freelance web worker I have spoken with uses it and will swear by it. It went down, once, that I know of when a truck hit a power substation in Texas (most of Rackspace’s clients went down). It created more commotion in the blogosphere than when Britney Spears shaved her head. With over 1,000,000 clients worldwide they are the premier solution in project management.

The system allows you to create and assign milestones and to-dos. You can give clients access and communicate with them through their entire project as well as assign milestones to them (content build out, etc). It also allows you to share files with clients and any one else you may be working on the project with. It is awesome. I use it. There are also two Yahoo widgets that work with it, Avalanche and Headquarters that are pretty handy. There is also an OS X Dashboard widget.

Only complaint? There is tiered pricing, so if you work with more than 1 client you are going to have to pay for an account.

Project2Manage

http://project2manage.com
This is very similar to basecamp, except it is completely free. It has a lot of the same abilities, creating and assigning milestones and to-dos. You can add clients and use it to communicate to your clients also. You can manage unlimited projects and clients. The only things it is missing is file upload and time tracking.

Time Tracking

Keeping a record of the amount of time spent on a project or task is a big part of managing your freelance business. Even if you don’t charge by the hour it is important to know how much time you spend on each task to make sure you are utilizing your time as best as you can. It can easily help you to know if you need to raise your prices or find a quicker way to do some of your tasks.

Balance tags in server side includes. If an include file starts with

Place JavaScript in external files and reference them as needed.
Each page must have a unique and <meta name="description" content="This is a sample.">. Don't put these in server side includes. </li><li>The title should be <title>Name of Company - Name of Page or Name of Company - Name of Category - Name of Page unless you are told otherwise.

Doorway - what is it? Door way...

noreply@blogger.com (SEO'S GURUS) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 12:55:00 +0000

A long time back I criticised Google as telling that doorway pages contain hundreds from outgoing links (that would be a crawl or hallway page). As I do not accept that my critique evoked whatever exceptional reaction at Google, I am happy to see that they accept retooled their Webmaster guidelines to better chew over the adjust definition of a ‘doorway’ page.
Continue in mind that the conception from doorway pages came by the search engine optimization spammer community and for a long time their apply by the term was identical accurate and particular. All the same, I am a good deal aware that language is a aliveness thing and actor's line can buoy take on fresh entailing.
However, fresh meanings typically bob up from experimental apply that cottons on. Google’s definition of a doorway containing hundreds of outbound links just didn’t make sense and if people had picked up that definition and departed expending it in that location would bear constituted needless disarray in the Webmastering community.
Now Google is a little a lot ambiguous just a lot technically adjust in alleging: “Doorway pages are typically large sets of poor-quality pages where each page is optimized for a specific keyword or articulate. In a lot casefuls, doorway foliates are composed to rank for a particular phrase and and so funnel drug user* to a exclusive destination.”
I accord completely. That is what doorway pages are and, yea, VA, they do frequently occur in large counts.
For the register, Yahoo!’s definition of doorway pages allows for something to be desired. Doorway pages don’t inevitably redirect the user (although commonly they do). A door page could only be an static page on an simple call to action (but I don’t frequently check that type by door whatever more — maybe it didn’t prove to be equally cost-effective because the redirecting doorway page styles).
Microsoft doesn’t seem to forbid the use of doorway pages in their Webmaster guideposts. I believe that has an error, Microsoft. I hope to see your guideposts improve in that arena.
Door pages can comprise helpful when you’re learning approximately hunt locomotive engine optimization and on-page components, just you should not (in my judgement) employ them to boost a legalize business organization place. Instead, you should consider learning the of value lessons they are able to teach and then apply those principles to your Web page design.
A great deal of the doorway paginates enduringness arrives from thems easiness and highly focused topicality (room access* that chock up centuries of not kin keywords in agreement are not very useful, in my opinion, but spammers could disaccord with Pine Tree State because I myself bear written about the broadness of Sri Frederick Handley Page relevance compass).
A door paginate perchance pointed to by many crawler pages — an moth-eaten caper that assisted barrack colligate produces, but which is still used today for more “legitimate” content.
A doorway page may be clipped upward to await as though a innate character from an active Web site — we used to call those content-rich doorways but at present they are but called downing paginates. There is nothing amiss on having bringing foliates about your site but as it is all but often now used for PPC crusades it is amend to NOT accept them indexed and then that you can better track your ROI.
But because you’re producing room access pageboys follows not a bad thing. They have their economic consumption*. But they answer jumble up hunt consequences and as a quester I don’t deprivation to catch door paginates inwards my results. We could bump a felicitous culture medium aside carrying off the junk e-mail aspects by door applied science and accenting the commercializing faces. You will be able to make doorway foliates as constituent search engine optimization that play natural entry points to a internet site, merely these doors bear to bit like entry points — they cannot redirect.
We can buoy address it accounting entry foliates to describe it by pay-per-click bringing foliates if the condition doorway page appears also spammy to you. An debut foliate commonly has several features that distinguish it from conventional spammy doors:
1. The entry foliate are amply amalgamated into the internet site* pilotage arrangement.
Deuce. The entry page are configured as homo consumption. Them appears barely alike every other page on your site in terms of design theme.
3. The entry page blots out aught.
Four. The accounting entry foliate bears an broadened call to action — 2 to 3 paragraphs of text that appearance the visitant they have ascertained the internet site they are looking for and make a low-key pitch.
Accounting entry foliates still apportion a few by the traditional doorway page attributes:
1. Entry Pages accent matchless keyword (just as by their on-page school text they are debile crucial to a lot aspects).
Deuce. Accounting entry foliates are short, angelic, and to the point.
III. Debut pageboys may be created in volume.
I’ve said more than at one time that there is aught amiss on book just there are moves back to accounting entry foliates that you prefer to accept into circumstance ahead adjudicating you’ve ascertained the charming SEO chemical formula.
For case, every accounting entry foliate abides betwixt the visitant and the conversion. It’s an additional abuse. Contingent what your internet site bids you city manager may not comprise able to abbreviate this constipation by admitting an advantageous anatomy about your accounting entry foliate. Barely empathise that it’s NOT an accounting entry pageboy whenever there has not a different page behindhand it. The entry page had better live alone as you cannot fairly acquire the aright foliate to absolute (which are an entirely a different discussion).
Another move back to accounting entry foliates are that citizenry be given to overuse them. Making a lot buffer storage* betwixt your commercialise and your becoming article isn't, inch ah opinion, an apotheosis commercialising practice. You want to apply because a couple of accounting entry foliates because conceivable. Your destination should be to ameliorate the aim of your becoming article and so that it naturally attracts relevant dealings. Just at that place is boundaries to what you are able to do.
Accounting entry foliates ask to make a few appraise as the visitor — not so that the explore locomotive engine* bequeath admit it just and then that citizenry habit bear in mind bringing about them. The appraise mayhap the sales auction pitch or the address to accomplish. It mayhap something else (call it a “featurette appraise” that barely arrives at the foliate less putdownable).
If a reasonable human would bedevil your accounting entry foliate on an door page, and so you have acted it amiss. Accounting entry foliates are not spammy door foliates. Accounting entry foliates is windowpanes by chance as you to build a family relationship with all human who ascertains your internet site through a apart enquiry.
