Managing Your Website (The Web Squeeze)

Search Engine Optimization Question:?

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 18:32:14 +0000

Does anyone know what is the best way to learn search engine optimization? I am happy to pay good money for good training. I have a website and want to send one of my employees for training so we can really promote the site.

New Domain Name

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:07:12 +0000

Here is my Question of The Month!

I just bought a new domain name and I want to replace my old domain name.
I know the rough steps that I should take to make sure everything goes well in the conversion but I want a professional way of doing this.

Here are my rough step:

Create a [R=301,L] from the old domain name to the new domain name.
Slowly, change all links pointing to the new domain name.
Change all my Permalinks.
cant think of any more...

Let say I have this link format in my existing Wordpress:

www[dot]olddomainname[dot]com/tutorial/permalinks-goes-here/

at the launching day, I want to make sure all links will be updated with the new domain name:

www[dot]newdomainname[dot]com/tutorial/permalinks-goes-here/

What will be the best way of doing this?
I cant test this from my localhost.

Web Design Keywords?

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:12:12 +0000

Hey,

I get 99% of my business from referrals and word of mouth. Pretty much all traffic to my website comes from people clicking on my forum profile for following links on twitter.

I can't help but wonder what the potential for getting traffic from search engines is. Does anyone have any ideas what common searches are that people use to find web designers?

Treating Php As Html

Tue, 25 May 2010 08:08:07 +0000

I need a quick FACT here!

Quote

If you have a forum, content management system, blog or other forum of software that allows for modding it is a must that you change your linking structure to html links. You will see a great benefit from it. Google can and does index the php files but they are not treated the same as html for some reason.

The QUESTION is, is there any difference in BROWSER/GOOGLE/YAHOO in treating a page with .php or .html extension?
Should I mod rewriting all my dynamic files to html for better ranking/SEO?

Thanks.

Yslow Gives Me F!

Grade F on Add Expires headers
There are 32 static components without a far-future expiration date.

Isn't this what it CODE is for?

# Set far-future expiry for static assets
# Remember that you MUST change the filename whenever you update these items!

 
 	ExpiresActive on

I have that piece of code in my .htaccess file. So what "Expires headers" does YSlow means?

Robots.txt

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 10:51:22 +0000

Hello

My robots.txt file looked like this.

# robots.txt for http : // www.mysite.com

User-agent:  *
Disallow:/

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow:

Then after instaling SEO doc and seeing the flag, 'page not indexible' I changed it to read:

# robots.txt for http : // www.mysite.com/

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Is this good?

My site had good results in google searches but does terible in Yahoo & msn, would the 'robots.txt' file have been the reason why?

Also, I am runnnig phplist on my site should I add 'Disallow: /mylist/'?

Lunching A New Website Design

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 04:54:41 +0000

Just like TWS v3, I would like to know what are the precaution steps that you took seconds before you lunch the new design. (for Wordpress)

And for a costume web design, what will be the so-called "precaution steps" to take?

My Biggest Concerned

User will somehow load the old version of the browser (cache version).
Favicon icon (new design) is still not loaded.

I am planning to transfer the new design (FTP) sometime in the midnight where no one is accessing the web.
So, how a I be able to make sure when a user opens up his PC (the next day) and typed in the URL address in his browser address bar and successfully loads the new design (css and html)?

Thanks.

How Important Is Unique Content?

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:37:40 +0000

When writing descriptions for my photos (which I put on my website), I often just copy the description from Wikipedia (and of course give credit to Wikipedia), e.g. if I had a webpage showing a photo of Buckingham Palace, I'd probably just copy the first couple of paragraphs from the Wikipedia article on Buckingham Palace.

Now I could instead write my own description based on the Wikipedia article, which would likely end up being very similar, but different. Do you think it would make enough of a difference in the SERPs to make it worth writing my own descriptions instead of copy-pasting from Wikipedia?

Thanks

Seo Help... Not Sure What Im Doing Right / Wrong...

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:26:08 +0000

Hello TWS! Been a while but I thought I'd check out some of the sites on the critique section (I always love to see what new designers are coming up with these days...). I do have a couple of questions for some of those SEO experts out there... If there are any anymore.

Take a look at my site www.zadees.com and then click on one of the games to go to that page. That's the page where I want to improve SEO as much as possible. The problem is, it's dynamic. Anything in the code that I can do to make it more search engine friendly without having a ton of duplicate content on every page? It says its a .htm but its really a querystring that looks as a .htm file.

Any help / advice is appreciated!

Search Engines Search Options: The Web Vs Pages From The Uk/country

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:51:26 +0000

Happy new year to one and all, I hope it is good one for you.

I had a nice surprise and saw my website move up one place to third for it's specific search term in Google SE. This result comes when selecting 'pages from the UK' selecting 'the web' shows my site has still moved up one but further down the page at about 8th.

How much importance is there in 'pages from the UK/country'? Some browsers do not offer this option no?

Also, am I correct in thinking that the country you are in will effect results despite selecting 'the web'? For example, when in the UK, sites based in the UK will appear before those of other countries and vice-versa?

Thanks

Yuck. I Need Seo Help Major.

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 03:22:06 +0000

So I haven't really done a whole lot with SEO, yes I know tsk tsk cause i've been doing this for a couple years now but oh well, but I was looking and I'm getting a good 1700 page views 600 visitors each month which isn't bad considering I don't post that much of interesting content nor do it regularly.

However when I search for web designer gaffney sc in Google...I'm not anywhere to be found. And i'm like holy cow I need to be there cause no one else is really.

So can someone take a look at http://joshmlewis.com and tell me what I need to do to help it?

Some surrounding towns are spartanburg, sc or greenville, sc.
but i don't think as far as web designers I come up in any of them.

Mark Page Or Image As Safe Or Family Friendly?

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:08:17 +0000

I read the following on a website today:

Quote

Increased Search Engine Optimization
� To further improve SEO, we are taking the major search engines� suggestion of adding a �family-friendly� flag that indicates that an image is appropriate for children and does not include explicit content. Based on a range of keywords, we�ve automatically marked certain images as exempt from the �family-friendly� set. We ask that you do your part to double-check your archive and make sure all of your explicit content (nudity, violence, and adult themes) has the �family friendly� option unchecked. Because search engines punish hard for offenses, we will police this aggressively.

This was on http://www.photoshelter.com/mem/forum/thre...T000HhF3xI1CWiw, though I think you need to be a member to access it.

Anyway, I couldn't find any info on how to 'add a �family-friendly� flag that indicates that an image is appropriate for children and does not include explicit content'. Any ideas on how you'd do this?

Thanks

Serp Effect Of Nofollow In Backlink

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 13:56:05 +0000

Hi,

For Example:
Suppose I have submitted my link to 80 web directories, all web directories publish my link but with nofollow attribute. Will this have devastating effect on google ranking of my website ? What kind of effect this will have on google ranking of my website ?

Numbers Don't Lie

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:29:09 +0000

If an SEO tells you, "I rank on page 1 for such-and-such search term, which has over 5 million results", are you impressed?

This is a common defence that SEOs use when criticised over dogma: "I get these great results; you can't argue with that." And those numbers do seem impressive, don't they? Is it not a sign of true expertise when someone gets on the first page out of millions of results?

Well yes -- the numbers do seem impressive. But no, it doesn't mean much in reality.

I just checked on some of my search traffic, using Google Webmaster Tools. One search I noticed was "high serve". I'm ranking #2 for that search term, out of -- drumroll please -- 150,000,000 pages. Yes, that's right: 150 million pages!

I should probably use this fact to style myself as a god of SEO. Alternatively, I could brag about how great my content is: my writing is so good that I don't even need SEO! Both are tempting, but either would be a lie.

Okay, my content is good, and it is popular. But not that popular. This particular page is among the least popular on my website. According to Webmaster Tools, the search term "badminton tactics" brings in more than 11 times as many searches as "high serve" -- yet it only has 186,000 results. What's going on?

It's simple: the number of pages indexed tells you how many pages contain all the words in that search term. Both of these words, "high" and "serve", are common, non-specialist English words; therefore a large number of pages are in the index. The search term "high serve" is also not especially competitive, so it's not too difficult to rise to the top. Although it appears that I've won out against incredible odds, hardly any of those sites are even on the same subject (badminton); almost all of them will be tiny, trivial websites.

Knowing this, you can see why the index size does not correlate well with traffic. Getting to the top of a large index does not necessarily mean lots of traffic! The index size is not a direct reflection of the number of searches, only the number of pages in that index.

I've known SEOs to justify anything and everything with this lame argument. If they can't provide evidence or reasons for a superstition, they point to a big results page. I've even seen it used to defend hidden (or semi-hidden), keyword-stuffed

tags.

At the time, I swallowed the lie. Now I have a page that tops 150 million others, I'm not so easily impressed.

Disclaimer

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not saying that all SEOs are charlatans, but only that you should be generally suspicious of the industry and its practitioners.

SEOs are like car salesmen. A particular car salesman may be entirely honest and trustworthy; nevertheless, he deserves your utmost mistrust while he's trying to sell you a car.

A Few Seo Questions

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:29:42 +0000

A few SEO questions:

Does it matter how long the is? According to <a href='http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/TITLE.html' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>W3C Guidelines on the title element in HTML</a>:<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>The title may be used to identify the node in a history list</div></div>Which is kind of what I'm doing, however I think I may have gone a bit over the top e.g. The title on one of my pages might look like:<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>David Kennard Photography :: Life > Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists > Animals > Chordates > Amphibians > Anura > Ranidae > Rana > European frog > Close-up of eye of European Frog</div></div>That's 32 words / 179 characters. I presume I would actually be better off having a title like:<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>David Kennard Photography :: Close-up of eye of European Frog</div></div><br /></li><li>I used to see websites with high rankings on google that would have a load of keyword rich links in their footer to various pages in their website. Does this still work?<br /></li><li>Are reciprocal links only bad if you're exchanging links with a website that just lists you on a long page of links? I was wondering on my photo website if each photo had links to the same shot on various photo sharing websites (e.g. Flickr), and the photos on the photo sharing websites linked back to the photo on my website, would this be helpful?</li></ul>Thanks<br /> <br /> Dave </article> <article> <h1>Url Encoding Seo Friendly Urls</h1> <p>Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:40:22 +0000</p> At the moment my URLs look like this: <br /> <a href='http://domain.com/Some-SEO-Text/More-Text/DatabaseKey' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://domain.com/Some-SEO-Text/More-Text/DatabaseKey</a><br /> <br /> The only bit of the URL that actually gets used in the site is the DatabaseKey, so the URL above would be re-written to:<br /> <a href='http://domain.com/page?key=DatabaseKey' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://domain.com/page?key=DatabaseKey</a><br /> <br /> What I was wondering was whether I should URL encode the 'Some-SEO-Text/More-Text' section of the URL. The URL encoded version of this part of the URL (when it contains 'special' characters) can look quite messy in the address bar (especially in IE) when compared to the same URL where only # ? % and \ have been encoded.<br /> <br /> e.g. if you try viewing this page in IE <a href='http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%97%E4%BA%AC' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%97%E4%BA%AC</a><br /> and then view the same page in IE without URL encoding: <a href='http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/南京' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/南京</a> (copy and paste the link into the address bar, otherwise the forum seems to automatically url encode it)<br /> you can see the unencoded URL is much easier for a human to read and understand. I'm guessing that a search engine would treat them both the same?<br /> <br /> So, is it a good idea to encode URLs or not?<br /> <br /> Dave </article> <article> <h1>Should I Use Sub Domains?</h1> <p>Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:34:35 +0000</p> I've just been contracted to build a site for a small fitness company here in vegas and they want to have two different "portals" for members and non-members (kind of like here <a href='http://www.24hourfitness.com' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.24hourfitness.com</a>).

S.e. Bots Will Soon Be Able To Have Use Voice Recognition?

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 11:33:12 +0000

I was told that development is going on to create S.E. bots that will be able to use voice recognition when doing their searches, meaning that key words used in tutorials will also be picked up adding to a sites SEO.

I hope my relaying of this is clear as I am no expert on the SEO.

Can anyone add to this?

Googles Search Result Rating Up Down Arrow Things

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:47:57 +0000

hey everybody...

I am just wondering about this google up down arrow business. Is it merely for personal sorting, or if enough people vote for something, does it start to add value to that result?

For example, a guy has 100,000 happy customers. 1 of them has turned sour and started a slander campaign and runs about 20-30 blogs to try and damage this guys reputation. I am wondering, if say 1000 of these happy customers then went through and buried these BS blogs in the google result, would they start to disappear from the front page results?

See the green icon for an example of the arrow, if you don't know what I'm talking about...

Redirect All

How Do You To Stop Your Most Frequanted Websites Appearing Top Of Your Google Search Ressults?

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:03:39 +0000

To explain further, Google has a way of keeping track of how many times you have visited web sites and displays this number next to each search result, right. In turn most frequented sites are put to the top of search results.

This is no good if I want to see a sites real page position, so how can I remove this feature?

Hope you follow.

Wow Gold And Forum Spammers

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:58:01 +0000

I've been getting more and more spammers on my forum lately. I'm running phpbb3 and while I could easily get rid of the spam bots with an additional anti-bot question under phpbb2, phpbb3 supposedly had better and built-in ways of dealing the bots, and yes, I haven't had any problems - until now.

But now the spammers are back. However, it turns out they may not be bots at all, but humans paid to crack Captchas, or actually register manually, wait a day or two with posting, then hit your forum with a bundle of crap with links to wow gold sites. Have a look at this thread on phpbb.com to get some more info on it: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.p...6&p=7020955.

Now, unless you have "nofollow" enabled on your forum, supposedly all those spamposts on millions of forums generates very useful backlinks to the spammers site and helps him with his google ranking. Google likes, to a certain extent, backlinks.

So, my question is: what if I allowed or even invited these spammers to post in a particular subforum (called "sponsors" or something, and to prevent that they would post and interrupt normal threads), would I be able to trade on those links? Are there any ways of trading on outgoing links?

Looking For Bloggers

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:16:46 +0000

Launching this next Friday. Needs a tiny bit of work but the layout is about right.

Web Design/Development Blog. Shall be posting a high quality post every 2 weeks. 2-4 smaller posts will be made in between each big post. Current traffic. 0, the site is new. I will be advertising it frequently. Hope to get up to a few hundred visitors a week by the end of the year.

http://www.stanleywebdesign.co.uk/work/wordpress/

Eventually I would like to lease out 2 ad slots, however there isn't much point at the moment. As a result I am looking for related blogs who want a slot. In return I would like a back link in a relatively obvious place. Your link image can be 120x120. To be a 100% clear, you will have a 120x120 ad slot in return for a back link on your website.

General Terms.
1) The blog cannot be directly tied to web design services. i.e. http://www.webdesigncompany/blog
2) You must blog frequently, at least twice a month
3) Blog cannot contain adult content, swearing or l33t spk.
4) Your 120x120 ad is of a relatively high quality.

I'm happy to give one of these slots to the web squeeze. If your interested let me know. I don't need a back link from you if you want it. However this would obviously need to be reconsidered once I get some traffic going.

If anyone is interested please PM me.

Thanks

Home Page And Seo.

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:59:20 +0000

I have a forum. By default the forum homepage is index.php. I have set the default directory page to home.php.

To clarify.

http://www.domain.com/ = home.php = homepage
http://www.domain.com/index.php = index.php = forum list

In SEO terms will this cause any problems?

The reason why I have done this is because the forum has built up a fair SEO ranking over the past few years and to keep this ranking the forum cannot be moved. At the same time the site needs a homepage.

I just need to confirm that this will not cause any issues. Could this lead to any penalties or a drop in rankings?

Homepage Links

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:25:14 +0000

I have heard this somewhere a while ago, just wondering if it was true.

Obviously in your navigation you want to to link to your homepage with the hyperlink "index.php", but while you are on your actual homepage, is it best to change that to just link to "#", otherwise it is counted as double-linking or something along those lines lol

Sorry if this is a bit confusing

Does The Size Of Site Matter To Seo

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:16:00 +0000

Last year, our soon-to-be-ex SEO company has told us that if you have a bigger site is helps with SEO. Pardon the pun, but does size seriously matter to Google etc.?

Surely it's quality of content over size of site. Or am I once again, way off here?

Multi Language

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:29:53 +0000

Velo and me are developing a multi language module for our CMS (well.. Velo is doing the developing, I'm just farting ideas his way) but we're stuck on something.

I said: why not have 2 divs. 1 for English, and 1 for French content. When the visitor selected French to be their language, the English div will be set to "hidden".
Velo said: "Isn't Google considering that as cheating?" I said: "Let's ask TWS"

How does google handle hidden divs?

Strange Rankings

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:08:59 +0000

I'm getting shockingly good rankings in broad searches, but strangely not doing much better in more specific ones. I'd like to know why that is.

My site is called the Badminton Bible. Here's an example; look at these two search results:

badminton serve technique -- ranked 6 out of 154,000
serve technique -- ranked 8 out of 22,900,000 (!)

And here's another one:

badminton doubles tactics -- ranked 4 out of 111,000
doubles tactics -- ranked 7 out of 10,600,000

What the bejeezus is going on? Do I just need to use the word "badminton" a few more times in my text? I'm aware this could be an issue, but can it really have that much influence?

The strange thing is that I'm thrashing my direct competitors in the really difficult rankings, but losing to them on the easy ones.

Is this really true?? If so the company is going to have to move all of its sites/domains/hosting back to the UK.

Newbie Question

Thu, 29 May 2008 23:28:01 +0000

Heya

I know that the "alt" attributes contribute to SEO, but I was wondering if the "title" ones do as well? I've been trying to keep it with the "alt" being the description of the image, i.e. photo of Eden project, and then for the "title" it's been something along the lines of "Information on the Garden Offers"

Is that okay? Or will this not help the SEO for that particular page?

Thanks in advance

Key Words And Commas?

Mon, 19 May 2008 12:51:01 +0000

I have been told to add commas by one person and not add commas by another.

For example.

Stanley Web Design Development Jason

or

Stanley Web Design, Web Development, Jason Stanley

One person told me that by removing the commas then all words will be considered. So in the top example it would work out that if I searched for 'Jason Stanley'. This page had something to do with Jason Stanley.

The other person said that commas must be used. In example 1 search engines don't do the maths and you need to specify key words and phrases individually. Like I have in example 2.

Can someone clarify which, if either, are correct.

Site Redesign

Wed, 14 May 2008 15:59:09 +0000

I have a website which has links like this: www.domain.fi/topic
So all news items get that kind of url, top of that I have some extra url's with the same logic like www.domain.fi/guestbook etc...

I'm currently doing a redesign of the website and thought to switch over to codeigniter at the same time. Now ofcourse I could do the same old url remapping with new site but I want to modify it a bit. Maybe just use the codeigniter default urls so they would be like www.domain.fi/news/item/topic or something like that.

What's my best option SEO wise to do the redesign? It's not the most important site so basicly I could just ignore the whole SEO but still it would be nice to consider that part at least a bit too.

Your link will show here: http://egtworlds.com/index.php?page=search

Please note I am paying for a professionals designer, but since he hasn't finished yet your stuck with my design which doesn't work on IE, but I a sure you the new one will be more browser compliant and a whole lot better looking.

No duplicates, you can use sub-domains if they are completely different from the main site IG sear.google.com is still google.com but maps.google.com is map search not Internet search so maps.google.com is ok. No mature sites, no stupid sites, if the home page looks ugly chose the screen shot page to be better!

I ask that you would please link back to EGTworlds.com, although it is not necessary.

404's And Seo

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:15:25 +0000

So, I'm finally getting around to setting up 404 error pages on my website, but I can't find this info anywhere on the web:

Is it better to redirect to, say, /page-not-found.php

OR

Is it better to just include and let the URL stay at the broken page?

My 404 page is looking spiffy, though. It looks through directories in my site map to see if a page matches something in the URL. If there's a match, it displays it under the "Were you looking for one of these?" header This is my first attempt at something like this.

How To Build Up Your Search Engine Friendly Url's

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:16:27 +0000

What do you think is the best way for SEO optimization to build up a url?

You see it in many different ways, f.e.:

mydomain.com/2/ (I would say bad SEO, but better than index.php?id=2)
mydomain.com/2/Pagetitle.html (pretty good, but hard to program different types of pages/modules, so maybe better:
mydomain.com/p2/Pagetitle.html (i think that's ok)

Now what I currently believe to be a very good option:

mydomain.com/Pagetitle-p-2.html

Because it contains less slashes and contains title.

I was having a discussion (with lots of love as always ) with delusion about this, because the url would seem "ugly" to a user. Because of the -p-2. Is "uglyness" an issue in usability or user experience in this matter? Is the url really important? I don't think anyone will even remember any url, however simple it would be. I would think IF someone remembers your website, they will probably still type mydomain.com and not mydomain.com/pagetitle.html. What do you think?

Now i've been talking all the time about .htaccess mod_rewrite. Ofcourse there's the possibility to check a url in the database. So if someone types mydomain.com/pagetitle.html, you search for the string "pagetitle.html" in your seo table (or however it will be stored in the database) and return user to the correct page.

My personal opinion is.... it will only use extra database load time on every page. Is it worth the extra load being able to use mydomain.com/pagetitle.html instead of mydomain.com/pagetitle-p-3.html ?

Looking forward to your opinion. Ofcourse the programming part and load time isn't really the most important in this matter. Most important is the SEO of the url. Does it matter if it says pagetitle.html or pagetitle-p-3.html? I would think not. You?

Seo On Isp's Included Web Space?

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:06:10 +0000

This kinda belongs in the hosting forum, but it's also SEO related.

I designed a site for a client, and they wish to host their site on their free web space that's included with their internet account.

I have no experience with hosting or domains.

The client purchased their domain, but the free web space has no control pannel to enter the purchased domain. I'm considering two options...

1. Buy cheap GoDaddy space for $5/month.

2. Use domain forwarding so when someone types in the domain, it goes to their free space.

If we went with option 2, is there a way to optimize for search engines?

Thanks.

Many of us here, I'm sure, have blogs, in which we would be looking for extra comments.

My idea is that, we all comment on each others blogs. They must be related to the post. For example, if Simon posts on my blog, I post on his. That way, we all get more comments, and more hits, and links on other blogs.

Good idea anyone? Post here if you wish to undertake it?

As most of you will know getting good listings on google is not easy, especially if your site is new and there are hurdreds of other sites just like yours.

Google Really annoys something rotten My SERP`s should be higher for my targetted keywords but instead you get sites that have nothing to do your targetted keywords but have a forum post with your targetted keywords and blam they get ranked higher than you.

You get lots of people all saying different things on how to raise your SERP`s Im starting to believe they do not know what they are talking about, or maybe their keywords do not have as much competition as what Im up against.

Take Live.com "yes we know its not as big as google" Getting Good SERP`s on their SE is a lot easier than google but not faster. For my targetted keywords I have managed to get top positions on first page. And the live.com SE seems to be more relevant than google in my opinion.

BAD GOOGLE.......

Any of you guys and gals having similar problems issues with google?

Where To Be Listed These Days?

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:11:40 +0000

Even though I retired in early 2006 I still get the emails from so called SEO expert websites. Some of the info is definately recycled stuff I read in 2003 - 2006. Which lets me believe not a lot has changed ? LOL

So are certain search engines no longer top notch and to be listed on them used to be it.

Is it now just Google, yahoo, Msn and ask? what happened to the free directory which was such a pain to get on to and even a bigger pain to become a member of. Is that place dead or do just the ultra geeks hang out on there these days?

One of my websites was a 5/10 for many years, in the last month or so it has dropped to a 4/10 on google rankings.

What are the best tools and sites to be listed for UK customers?

Hi folks, firstly congratulations to the team for producing what appears to be a forum that will be interesting, entertaining and informative - let's all watch it grow!

My company manufactures Black Zirconium and Titanium rings and we are the leading manufacturers of quality titanium rings in the UK.

If anybody with jewellery related sites would like to one-way link to www.geti.cc we would love to hear from you. In return we will link back to you from our jewellers directory www.diamond-yachtclub.co.uk This method gives more powerful one way links and will benefit both of us (in theory of course!)

Regards,

GETi
