Canonical Tag Is Not To Be AbusedThis new tag is not something every one has to implement on his website. Most won't need at.This is much like 301 permanent redirect, so say you have two identical pages, you know that search engines will index only one of them. Now you have the choice to tell search engines which ONE you want indexed, which one should not get indexed.This tag will help you do

Even though not the best way, it's great almost fun and easy to do. The idea is to create profile pages in various websites, any website.However for backlinks to have any real value, you must check to see if the profile page you'll create is blocked or not via robots file and if it's using nofollow tags on the links.If it's blocked it's useless. So before creating a profile, first click on a

So your new website first thing is start getting backlinks... and 5% of the time left do some onpage optimization on it, like meta tags and alt tags. But the 95% of your time start link building.There's something with age of the links in Google algorithms. Which basically mean when you get a backlink the older it gets, means the more time passes the better it's value. So in essence the older your

It's easy to get backlinks not that these methods are one click and submit to thousands of websites. No, it's because your goal is to get those 30 backlinks a day approximately.Search engines look more into your link building pattern rather than how much links you have got today. Getting a thousand links today will do you little good if you don't get anything for like a week.It may actually look

Thousands of ants can turn your kitchen in a nightmare, while one will not been seen at all.So for onpage optimization techniques to have effect you need to apply as many of them as possible.

There are many seo techniques you should apply, many different strategies to adopt for keyword research most of all. But your goal once you know how to do and how to do it, is to focus on link building.That's not news, but still you need to master a bit seo, gain the knowledge first otherwise even link building alone is not going to help you, if you do it wrong.So you have to do things right but

Your goal should be to get ranks in Google, because ultimately you're going to get same ranks or better in MSN and probably even Yahoo.So you want to use Google to check for competitors number. To do this visit Google International homepage, not your Google country domain because most of your visitors are going to come from Google main site not using your country domain.

If you are doing article submission using same articles you've posted on your website here's what I found out to work best.First of all you can write articles and put them on your website. Then do not submit them to directories the same day. Submit the next day. Plus if you put them on a blog ping the blog. Here's a little known secret, ping also the page your article is on. You can ping pages,

You know that linking to another site is like casting a vote to that site, giving it credit. The more credit and votes a site has the better for its rankings.Now when linking to another website you're giving some of your website power and credibility and so to speak you give away pagerank. You don't want to link to external sites if there isn't a real reason behind it. The more external links you

Sitelinks is still a new feature, and Google displays these extra links in search results. Normally it displays a title linking to your website url, description and your website url in green words.But sitelinks are additional links not just the normal things it displays. It's like a menu for searchers to easily navigate the website. Sitelinks in fact were invented so searchers can go directly go

These are the dumbest mistakes and I've did some of them myself. These are not in any particular order or something.1) Optimizing your website for a word related to your website, like Dog if you sell dog food, or business if you sell something related to business.2) Getting backlinks, doing onpage optimization and then doing keyword research, instead starting with keyword research.3) Linking to

If you have trouble understand whether something you're going to do will get you a penalty or not by Google here's what to do.First of all whatever you do put yourself in the visitors shoes, how your change is going to effect him. If it's a good positive benefit for your visitor probably you're on the right track, Google will not penalize you. Since their aim is to give the searcher, your visitor

This technique is used by some top bloggers with good results... actually the more traffic you have the more it will work.Basically this works by creating a new blog post and linking to other blogs on this post. So you link to them FIRST and then go to their blog and tell them you linked to them. Ask them to check it out and link back to you. Tell them too that this technique is viral and they

The one most asked question about rankings is why ranks are not the same in all search engines. But another frequently asked question is, why I'm first position in Google for cheap dog food keyword for example, but nowhere for my main keyword, dog food which has the same words.Dealing with second question, you just have to look if you are doing things right. Most often if you get backlinks with

Every time someone from Google speaks, something sort of new spreads around, and real webmasters start to worry. They've just written an article like a day ago and now they read Google knocks article directories.The same people that think Article Directories are no longer effective, which I am translating the phrase Google knocks article directories, are probably same ones who taught submitting

Most companies who know nothing about seo, sell a service or a software that guarantees thousands of visitors. What they guarantee as well is that your website will get listed in a hundred thousand search engine instantly.Well, all that is a scam. First of all, submitting to search engines is a waste of time, simple because it's not the right way to get indexed.You see, years ago search engines

Not all websites are dot com, even though it's the most common. For seo purposes you don't need to know technical detail, you need to know more what works best to improve rankings.A website which is not a dot com, but a dot org or a dot edu still is a website. If no other website links to that, it's still a low quality website. I can go register a dot org and put adult content on the page. The

Simplest answer is because they are not that important. Backlinks are the feul that drives the rocket in the moon.Sure, it's not just the fuel. Same thing, without meta tags, spiders still show something to the searcher. Remember meta tags are considered important only because the meta title and meta description is what appears in the search results. The meta title linking to your site, and short

Time and time again I've seen it happening. You submit your articles in article directories and some webmasters grab them and put them on their website. Without giving you credit, without linking back.Personally I've seen it also happening on my own articles too. So what's the solution if any and what you should know?First of all who does this "stealing" is non other that newbies. They think

What's a three way link exchange? There is the normal link exchange where one webmaster exchanges links with another. Both parties agree to put a link on their website. Webmaster of site A links to the site B of another webmaster, and webmaster of site B links back to his site.That's also known as reciprocal link exchange or reciprocal linking. Is it effective? Yes, if you use other link building

First of all understand why a page is rankings high. Then we'll see what you should not do to the page so it won't loose rankings. Plus the good things you can do as well, to improve ranks even more.So you have a page, that you wish to replace, maybe it was an article and now you want it a salesletter or a optin page. The page is highly ranked, because either you have lots of backlinks pointing

Although I am exaggerating a bit, there are mistakes that can get your website banned, or penalties.Most common things webmaster do may be all well for your visitors, with good intentions but remember spiders are computers. They are not perfect though.Some of these things that spiders are programmed to detect and put a penalty to the website include the following list.Keyword stuffing in meta

So you know something about meta tags. Here's how to use them properly. First of all if you have a very big site, you cannot have unique meta tags for each page. Or get a webmaster to do it for you.If your website pages have unique meta tags, it's better. Specifically meta title and description, not the keyword tag or other info like robots tags.If you have a small site, this will be easier to do

If your website homepage is totally in flash, it's like there's no content for spiders. They cannot read content in images or flash.So if you have an intro video before, that visitors have to click skip to go to homepage - that's not going to help rankings.Your option to use to get rankings for long tail keywords (because high competitive you probably need content - it will be difficult without).

The more the better as a general guideline. Again it depends how you are going to use the articles.For article submission or for your website, in any case write articles related to your website. Start with that first, only then move to writing articles closely related to your niche.If I have an anti spyware software, I first write everything I can about spyware, adware, trojans and slowly start
