some tips on how to design a web site to be ranked at the top in the search engines.

Text Content
The cornerstone to your web site is the text content. Make sure the site contains plenty subject matter

right from the start. Your home page will introduce and describe the content of the site while each

section goes into more detail on the relevant subject.

When adding text content to your site, identify the key search terms and use them in context. Where

possible highlight the search terms by placing them in bold text or within H1 tags. This makes the key

search terms stand out so that search engines mark them as being important.

Frames
Although all search engines claim to be able to navigate frames, they still complicate matters. The

best advice is to avoid frames entirely. Framed sites are listed in search engines, but no matter how

many tricks are employed, they never seem to get listed as high as their non-frames equivalent.

If you have a frames based site, consider rebuilding it without frames. You’ll see your listings

skyrocket.

Page Forwarding
Many sites are now using page forwarding. It is used on the home page of a site to determine if a

visitor has Flash installed, or what browser they are using. After testing the visitors machine, they are

then forwarded to the appropriate real home page.

This practise does not help with search engine listings. Your home page should be designed to work

with any browser, and visitors should be given the choice of proceeding into a Flash site or a

standard HTML site. In any case, forwarding past your home page is missing the chance to introduce

plenty of good text content to visitor or search engine.

Heavy Graphics
Don’t use too many graphics on each page, and certainly don’t embed valuable text in your graphics.

Search engine spiders see all graphics the same – indecipherable binary code – and embedded text

will not be read.

Where you do use graphics, make sure to add alt-tags to describe the image, including key words

and search terms where applicable.

Dynamic Pages
One of the great things about the internet today is the immediacy of information. Dynamic web sites

make it possible to keep content bang up to date with minimum effort. There is a fallacy that if your

site contains dynamic pages it will not be indexed by search engines. This belief is only partly true.

Search engines will visit any page, .asp, .php, .cfm etc. If the URL for the page ends with the

extension such as /pagename.php it will be indexed and added to the search engine. If however

dynamic information is passed within the URL e.g. pagename.php?section=2&user=xyz, then the

page will not be indexed.

The idea behind gaining listings for your dynamic pages is to ensure that your home page and other

top level section pages do not include dynamic information in the URL. Deeper into the site, sure,

include all the dynamic information you want, but at the top level make sure there is enough

apparently static information to gain some search engine listings.

If you already run a fully dynamic site, take a look at our optimisation section for some ideas on

promotional and traffic capture pages.

Flash
Try and avoid building your main site entirely in Flash. If you do, you’ll also have to build an

alternative site in HTML or you will receive no listings whatsoever. Search engines cannot read

anything within a Flash file.

The use of Flash within a web site is acceptable, provided its use is monitored. Animation and moving

logos are great – they add interest and depth to a site. Flash buttons and text embedded within Flash

is not so great. Search engines will not follow the links to other pages and cannot read or index any

text within the Flash file. Use Flash sparingly.

Navigation
Search engine spiders start at a site home page and follow all the links within the site until they reach

a dead end before jumping to the next site on their list. The key to good navigation is to make sure

that search engine spiders can reach as much of your site as possible before jumping to the next site.

At the very least, every page within your site must have a link back to the home page. This is crucial.

In addition, links to each of the other main pages within the site help the spider move around more

efficiently.

If your main navigation is a set of buttons at the top of the page, like in this site, add some small text

links at the bottom of each page just to make it easier for search engines and visitors to get around your site.

But why do you need a site map?

Basically as websites get larger and more complex both the human browser and the search engine spiders need an easy to follow map to find all the pages within your site. A site map gives them a simple navigational tool.

Site maps have 3 main benefits:

1) A site map allows visitors to easily find what they are looking for by simply visiting your site map and clicking on the link to go directly to the page they want to visit.

2) Often technologies employed to assist in reading webpages such as web page readers and screen readers can only follow text links. For practical reasons it may not always be possible to show a text link to every other page within your site on your main page and other pages within your website and so use a site map.

3) Search engine spiders like text and text links. If they cannot follow a text link to a page of your site it may not get indexed. Make it easy for the spider to index all your pages through a site map.

A site map consists of the two things search engines love – text and keywords. To build a good site map combine relevant keywords with a hyper text links. For example on your site map you may have a link to your webpage about website promotion so your hyperlink should contains the words ‘website promotion’ and link directly to that page within your site.

A site map does not need and indeed should not be fancy, but should be clear and easy to navigate.

Here are some tips for a good site map:

1. Place a prominent link to your site map on every page and lable it SITE MAP.

2. It should show all your webpages through different levels as basic text links.

3. Use standard colours for links and visited links.

4. It should show a quick, easy to follow over view of the site without the need to scroll around in the web browser.

Google started allowing people to submit site maps to their account as a way of letting google know about all your webpages and updates to your site. It does not increase your page ranking at all but is worth taking the time to set up properly.

You can find free software for creating site maps at:

And when you are done, don’t forget to tell Google about your site map so they can trawl and hopefully index all the pages of your site.

A well planned site map can ensure your Web site is fully indexed by search engines.

Lets say that you have a website that sells grills. To get the most effective links to your site you would want to find other sites that offer content similar to grills to place your link on. These other sites might sell books on grilling, offer recipes for grilling or grill parts. The linking site will ideally have content that relates to grilling in some way.

You should view the internet as a popularity contest and each little link is a vote for your websites quality. Links of quality are much more effective than links in quantity. 10 links from websites with content related to that on your site could be more valuable than 1000 links from unrelated sites.

The links placement on the relevant site is also important. You are better off with a link on the front page of a website than a page that is deep within the site. Ideally you should be able to get to the page your link is placed on by clicking on a link from the front page. Look at it in this way, if you cant find the link neither can the search engines.

We should also cover two different ways to get a link placement.

Free link placement involves several options. There are some sites that will offer free link placement with no strings. Other sites will require a reciprocal link back from your site which decreases the link value significantly. You can also write and submit articles to article directories with a link back to your site.

There are quality directories where you can have your website listed. A quality one that actually provides benefits to the website linked to will generally charge a fee to review your site in consideration of inclusion. This is generally one of the most time effective ways to achieve good results.

Another option is paid link placement. This is purely paying for advertising space on a website. It is an option but should be very carefully done. The primary consideration for this option is for generating traffic via the link itself. Search engines are becoming better at detecting paid links and are making requirements of specialized no follow tags to be placed in them which takes away many of the linking benefits other than traffic from the link itself. If you choose this option be careful that you understand how to do it properly and the risks if you dont.

When you do get a link back to your website, having relevant text in the link itself is important. This is what will help you to rank in search engines for relevant keywords. When a search engine comes across the link it will note the link text and try to match it with the content of your site. The better a match the more relevance that link will be given by the search engine.

Link building from quality sites does take time. You are not going to start today and finish up tomorrow. It takes a consistent, focused approach over time to see results that give you the results youre looking for over the long term.

How to Choose the Best Keywords is a post from: Web Hosting News and Reviews and SEO Tutorials - Noiraqdraft.com

The easiest and less proactive method is to simply wait for a customer to send one to you. Even if you have a good product, it could take a long time to accumulate a number of good testimonials. This is why you will probably want to take a more active roll in obtaining testimonials.

One method would be to include a survey with the delivery of every product. The best responses from the survey could then be used for your testimonials, plus you may get some valuable feedback to make improvements. This method can also be used in a more active way by calling customers and, with their permission, recording the responses.

A more direct approach is to simply contact customers by phone or in writing and explain that you are starting a new ad campaign and would like to share some of the benefits that previous customers have gotten from the product.

What if your product is new and you need testimonials? Youll need to find people to test out your new product and provide a testimonial. You can get the word out by various means that your product is new and you are looking for feedback. By offering a limited amount of products at a significant discount off the normal price, you will be able to get a number of testimonials.

Often you can contact previous customers and ask them to review your new product. This provides a measure of good will to your customers and they are generally open to such a suggestion.

Another way to find people to provide testimonials is to contact people that have provided testimonials for other products. You can often find well known people in your field by searching the websites of similar types of products and look for big name people that have given testimonials. Offer to give them a free copy of your product in exchange for their review.

As far as using the testimonials, the most effective way is a video testimonial. The web is moving more and more to video and a satisfied customer video testimonial can be very convincing. Not everyone has a camcorder, but many have a webcam, and if not, you it may be worth it for you to offer to buy and send them a webcam and allow them to keep it for free. They cost as little as $25 these days.

The next best thing to a video testimonial is an audio testimonial with photo. After that is a written testimonial with photo, and finally just a written testimonial.

It terms of the content of the testimonial, you should try to get concrete benefits that the customer has obtained. General, XYZ company is great to work with type of comments wont help much with the sales process.

Some of the best testimonials are from people that the potential customer can identify with, so dont think that average, ordinary looking/sounding people cant be effective. Along these lines, a before and after type of testimonial with visual proof is a great way to convince others. This type of testimonial will require some advance planning to set up the before pictures.

Most people dont realize that they control every single aspect of their lives. Many will sit back and complain about how they cant afford the necessities, or pay their bills. Unfortunately, though, some people simply dont have enough initiative to better their lives. They may go to college and obtain a 2 or 4-year degree in a popular industry. Some may not even go to college. Whether a person goes to college or not, a majority of the time, they end up with a job that makes them feel comfortable, and decide to stick with it until retirement. They do this despite the fact that the job may not pay much, could possibly be boring, and could even be something that they dont enjoy doing.

If a person wants to achieve the dream of becoming the owner of a luxury home, then they need to generate more than the average income a year. There are many ways to do this: Becoming a business owner, investing in stock, bonds, etc, and even opening a traditional savings account. Some motivated individuals will even work two or three jobs, just to be able to put an entire paycheck a week away in the bank. It will be very difficult for a while, especially for people with families, yet in the long run, it will be worth it.

One thing that people who are striving to buy a luxury home can do is to visualize their dream home, including every single detail. They need to picture them selves preparing elaborate meals for dinner parties in their large future kitchen, which will have beautiful custom-built and finished cabinetry. It will also have a huge island in the middle of the 30×30-sized kitchen, which will match the cabinets. They can also visualize the refreshing indoor swimming pool, and the four bathrooms, with a Jacuzzi in each one. This will help keep them motivated to continue working to achieve their goal: Owning their dream home.

After the dream home has actually been purchased, individuals can then think about remodeling, in order to increase their homes value, as well as to tailor it to their own personal taste. A good website to shop for these projects is: http://www.luxuryhomeremodel.com. This website offers great prices, as well as valuable money-saving coupons.
