Robots.txt is a file that is combined with the webpage’s main folder which provides the needed info to the search engine spiders. These robots must be well- made that they must not overload the site with unwanted queries and spiders. They must only invite the related spiders with respect to the contents of that page. These files are also termed as Robots Exclusion Protocol and direct the spiders through your webpage, and make sure that the spiders go through only respective regions blocking the other areas. The file name of a robots.txt must be lower cased and be able to explain the spider’s path.

By using a Robot Meta Tag, you will be explaining the search engine spider about the website’s title, the keywords and phrases related to it; at what intervals should the spiders come back to your site to get updates, etc. Or simply it can be said that, with the help of a Robot Meta Tag you can define the language, rating, distribution, robot index, abstract, robot’s revisit and mainly title, keywords and description of the webpage. These Tags help the spiders to index, follow and non-follow the respective page. Make sure that you don’t use them together on a same tag.

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 10:38:00 GMT

Google has recently announced considerable changes in its web page rating strategies. This new algorithm is being discussed by different names viz. Farmer, Panda or Pandapocalypse. This has changed certain rules. Google used to evaluate web pages, and has been strengthened with further logics to filter low-quality pages and sites. These generally are the pages used as ‘content farms’, which are often filled with text for search queries but don’t add to user experience.

Google has always been improving its techniques to estimate relevancy of a web page or website by judging it from internal and external parameters. For example, an internal parameter can be text on this site or page, while external parameter can be external links leading to this particular page. Another important parameter is the user’s experience for this page such as how long it takes to download, how much time user stays on it, etc. It has also provided users with tools to block any site such as Chrome extension and blocking facility in search results.

Google’s only aim behind this new development is to serve more useful and relevant resources to users and it has succeeded very much in this effort. Google has also updated its quality guidelines accordingly to help web masters / web owners improve quality of pages to avoid any seclusion from Panda.

Certainly Google Panda has much more unique tools to judge the websites relevancy, it also make use of users’ action through Chrome extension and search result blocking facility. The all you can do to save your sites from any negative impact is avoid any low-quality links, and spamming strategies. Honesty is the best policy for Google.

Importance of Short Tail and Long Tail Keywords

Wed, 27 Jul 2011 13:17:00 GMT

A word or a phrase which gives the main idea of the content is known as a keyword. Only these keywords help you to bring the results of a page while searching through search engines. Generally the keywords can be classified into two major types; short-tail keywords and long- tail keywords. As it denotes, long- tail keywords are comprised of more words (normally 3, 4, or 5) and short tail keywords of two.

The short tail keywords generate more results than the long tail keywords; also the long tail keywords can narrow your searches to a great extent.

These keywords when properly matched to the contents; they generate free traffics to your website and yield you with a higher listing rate. It is advisable to choose the right keyword either short or long tailed such that your business gets profited from them.

If you are about to choose a keyword for your site then first think that you are user for that site and what keyword shall match your search. Then with that idea generate some highly attractive keywords of short tail as well as long tail which could yield the top listings for website.

But in the case of long tail keyword, it only gives you the perfect matches. So it is better to design a keyword that satisfies all requirements.

What is Key word stuffing?

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:02:00 GMT

When keyword is too often repeated on a webpage, it is termed as keyword stuffing. The idea of doing so is that as it can bring up your webpage’s rank to a considerable state. This trick was widely adopted by the webpage owners in the past; however now the Google and other search engines are very wise that they yield only less attraction to such sites. Making out the irrelevant words, tags and linking structures also contributes to keyword stuffing. Even now many people carry out this trick without proper idea of about Search Engine Optimization’s working and thus make their webpage glow less towards the search engines.

Placing the correct keywords at required area with respect to the contents can do better than stuffing them. When that above condition is satisfied, for sure your webpage will be positioned in a good ranking.

Is it safe to use Subdomains for SEO?

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 13:22:00 GMT

All major search engines have adopted rather strict rules in their sub domain inclusion strategies. The obvious reason is that they are averse of the spamming tricks that most of the webmasters use subdomains for. A general application of subdomains is to categorize content depending upon their relevancy to users. For example a large site with global access might decide to create subdomains for serving contents for difference country, state, city etc. But there are many subdomain hosts which have lost their credibility in search engines because of excessive auto-generated contents or spamming.

Many webmasters used subdomains to proliferated content and achieve multiple inclusions in search engines, but this is what spamming means and each search engine has its own mechanism to identify it and then they penalise the domain by removing it entirely from the list.

A general criterion to get subdomains approved on Google is that each of them should have unique content. They can certainly work well for improving your SEO statistics, but may result negatively if you don’t pay due attention to the acceptable behaviour by search engines.

So, the logic is that you should think of using a subdomain only when you have enough content to develop it as a standalone website. ‘Why the hell should I use a subdomain and not a separate web site in stead?’ might be your question. Well, the reason is that the subdomain will be benefited by the performance of your website just like ‘piggy back’ riding, while a new domain will have to do its own labour to appear in search engines. Search engines give due credit to subdomains for its root domain. So you can just focus on the home page of the root site and it might automatically work for your subdomain as well.

All about Page Rank

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:15:00 GMT

Page Rank is a Google given denomination to any web page, awarded on the basis of number of relevant back links to it from any other website or web page online. When a page is providing link to other page, it is adding to its balance in vote bank which Google uses to decide on its search results. But this is not all. The actual value of any of these votes is reckoned on the basis of its own Page Rank. So Google has its own way to calculate a Page’s rank and decide its importance. This Page Rank matters very much for any web master or web owner because it greatly influences their listing on Google’s search result.

Google calculates page rank by taking into account all the inbound links to the page. These can be links from within the site and from outside of it.

However the whole jargon of SEO revolves round Page Rank mechanism. The only aim of all SEO process is to take your website up in this Google search results on first page. This is achieved by generating relevant back links to your website by way of articles submission, PR submission, directory submissions and link exchange itself. Appearing high in the Google list has tremendous benefits to the website owners. Because, statistics suggest that most of the users don’t dig Google after first page and rather change their search term. So those who appear on first page have better prospect of getting clicked than those on next pages.

How links can be changed with other websites?

Sat, 16 Jul 2011 16:43:00 GMT

Link Exchange is very profitable possibility in online promotion. It works two ways for your website. One it can generate traffic from different sources, second it can earn you votes that you badly need to come on first page of Google listing. But exchanging links with just any site might pull your website down as well as Google may also penalize your site if these links are coming from irrelevant sources. The same logic applies to the links to other websites from yours. This goes to say that all inbound and outbound links to and from your sites must be relevant to your subject area.

So how can you exchange links with other websites without inflicting any penalty.

1 – Whenever you contact to other websites for a link exchange, always contact sites relevant to your niche, and similarly provide links to relevant sites only. This is why you are encouraged to submit articles on Ezines in relevant categories and the back links you get from there is always relevant hence beneficial to your SEO.

2 – There is another way to publish links on your websites. You can create a link page, where you can list all the sites you are going to exchange links with. This might also help you keeping your clients with you only and not let them divert to others. For this link page will rarely be visited by the visitors, but will serve SEO purpose for the other party. But you should write enough text for each link you provide. This is a safer side for you as well.

4. Build Link consistently: You do not build link consistently. Link building is a continuous process and if never done consistently; it will not achieve good result from SEO. Quality inbound links will help to achieve higher rankings for competitive keywords. So, always build links consistently by using link building process.
