Search Engine Submission Tips

30 January 2009


Much of your business web site traffic will come from search engines. Here are some search engine submission tips to keep in mind.


Search engines look for specific  titles, headings, meta tags - so it is crucial to make sure your site is "search engine friendly".


a. TITLE tags: Title tags should be 60 or so characters and include some keywords.


b. Header tags are numbered from 1 to 7: some search engines recognize Header tags. So make sure you use these tags for each of the titles on your page.


c. Keyword Meta tags: Add no more than 15 to 20 keywords to keep the search engines from flagging your site for keyword spamming.


d. Prioritize your words. The best way to submit to search engines is to submit to each search engine individually.


 


e.. Use keywords in the text area of each page. They are especially important at the beginning of sentences and higher up on the page.


f. To learn more about meta tags and choosing keywords, read "Effective Search Engine Optimization"

14 January 2009

According to en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Web_2.0, web 2.0 is defined as "The second generation of the World Wide Web, especially the movement away from static webpages to dynamic and shareable content".  That definition seems to fit pretty closely with where the users of the World Wide Web stand right now.  All though it is commen now to see dynamic webpages, you sill still find many static web pages that have obviously not migrated in to using some of the new technologies.  It's not always easy to keep up with it...


But in the world we live in today, the advancement of technolgy is never complete.  Web 3.0 describes the feasible next step.  Ideas of Web 3.0 include things such as semantic web pages, artificial intelligence, natural language recognition, along with other things.  Although many of the ideas associated with web 3.0 are not possible at this time, everything has to start with an idea.

CSS and XHTML and why websites should be built around them

8 January 2009

Using CSS and XHTML to create and update websites streamlines and standardizes the process by seperating content from presentation. One of the improvements from HTML to XHTML was removing tables and adding a stylesheet as a way to layout pages. No longer is there the need to scroll through pages of code to alter the width of a column or use the dreaded spacer gif to fill in gaps.


Website Designers / Developers must ensure that these technologies are being utilized. A great tutorial for CSS can be found on http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp
