Site Optimization – Don’ts
Jul/090
Google Quality Guidelines
- Avoid hidden text or hidden links. – Amazingly common this method simply adds content which is invisible to the user. Achieved by setting the same background colour or through CSS, the idea is that search engines will read this hidden content and give more importance to it. This does reduce the clutter on the page, but search engines will find it and penalise you for it.
- Don’t use cloaking or sneaky redirects. – Cloaking is a black hat search engine optimization (SEO) technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the users’ browser. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses or the User-Agent http headerlinks of the user requesting the page. When a user is identified as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different version of the web page, one that contains content not present on the visible page. The purpose of cloaking is to deceive search engines so they display the page when it would not otherwise be displayed.
- Don’t send automated queries to Google.
- Don’t load pages with irrelevant keywords.
- Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content. – Duplicate content will get your site penalized. A big myth out there. Duplicates are filtered in search engine results pages because they don’t want to show ten copies of the same article. They’ll show what they perceive to be the most important version. At worst, they might not show your version in the results.
- Don’t create pages with malicious behavior, such as phishing or installing viruses, trojans, or other badware.
- Avoid “doorway” pages created just for search engines, or other “cookie cutter” approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content. – Doorway pages are web pages that are created for spamdexing, this is, for spamming the index of a search engine by inserting results for particular phrases with the purpose of sending visitors to a different page. They are also known as bridge pages, portal pages, jump pages, gateway pages, entry pages and by other names. Doorway pages that redirect visitors without their knowledge use some form of cloaking.
- If your site participates in an affiliate program, make sure that your site adds value. Provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.
BAD SEO – Basics
Jul/090
Site optimization – Don’t!
- Insist everyone come through the “front door”
- Have a splash/doorway page or a flash intro
- Optimize for search engines over people
- Use any sort of cookie, session, javascript, ajax or iframes that is required to browse the content you want crawled.
- Give different content to robots than to humans
- Hide indexable content before post requests
- Get involved into link-trading with off-topic sites
- Use throw-away domains or “Google Bait”
- Use automated content generation/scraping
- Bait and switch
- Rent links from off-topic sites especially not site-wide
- Assume that all Site Optimization suggestions you find are valid or that SEO doesn’t change.
SEO Optimization Tips
Jun/090
1. Do keyword research at the start of the project. If you’re on a tight budget, use the free versions of Keyword Discovery or WordTracker, both of which also have more powerful paid versions. Ignore the numbers these tools show; what’s important is the relative volume of one keyword to another. Another good free tool is Google’s AdWords Keyword Tool, which doesn’t show exact numbers.
2. Include a robots.txt File. By far the easiest top 10 SEO tips you will ever do as it relates to search engine optimization is include a robots.txt file at the root of your website. Open up a text editor, such as Notepad and type “User-agent: *”. Then save the file as robots.txt and upload it to your root directory on your domain. This one command will tell any spider that hits your website to “please feel free to crawl every page of my website”.
3. Commit yourself to the process. SEO isn’t a one-time event. Search engine algorithms change regularly, so the tactics that worked last year may not work this year. SEO requires a long-term outlook and commitment.
4. Validate Your Code. There are several ways to validate the accuracy of your website’s source code. The four most important, in my opinion, are validating your search engine optimization, HTML, CSS and insuring that you have no broken links or images.
5. Be patient. SEO isn’t about instant gratification. Results often take months to see, and this is especially true the smaller you are, and the newer you are to doing business online.
Search Engine Optimization Tips
Jun/090
1. Optimize Your Title. The Title and META tags should be different on every page of your website if you wish for most search engines to store and list them in the search results. Us SEO Expert’s have experimented with these two pieces of code to help us reach an accepted conclusion about how best to use them. Don’t click off this site until you’ve read the top 10 SEO tips below to see what I’ve discovered works best for search engine optimization.
2. Include a site map page. Spiders can’t index pages that can’t be crawled. A site map will help spiders find all the important pages on your site, and help the spider understand your site’s hierarchy. This is especially helpful if your site has a hard-to-crawl navigation menu. If your site is large, make several site map pages. Keep each one to less than 100 links. I tell clients 75 is the max to be safe.
3. Optimize Your META Tags. META tags are hidden code read only by search engine webcrawlers (also called spiders). They live within the HEAD section of a web page. There are actually 2 very important META tags you need to worry about: description and keywords. Meta tags summarize what the site is about, and despite some SEO controversy, they still play an instrumental role in meta-based search engines. The META tags you need to be the most concerned about are:
1. description
2. keywords
4. Make SEO-friendly URLs. Use keywords in your URLs and file names, such as yourdomain.com/red-widgets.html. Don’t overdo it, though. A file with 3+ hyphens tends to look spammy and users may be hesitant to click on it. Related bonus tip: Use hyphens in URLs and file names, not underscores. Hyphens are treated as a “space,” while underscores are not.
5. Use Headings. Headings play an important role in organizing information, so be sure to include at least H1-H3 when assembling your page. Using cascading style Sheets (CSS), I was able to make my h1 at the top of this page more appealing. Here’s a piece of code you can pop into your heading:

</style>
What is Site Optimization
Jun/090
Site Optimization
Site Optimization, site seo, or just simply “SEO” is the process of writing and designing your web pages so that the search engines as well as your target audience understands what your web page as well as your entire website is all about.
While this sounds like a simple process, it’s actually a culmination of lots of little things that you do right in order to get your website optimized. The bottom line of site optimization is nothing more than getting your site listed within the first pages of a SERP or Search Engine Results Page.
Regardless of what industry you’re in, chances are you’re up against hundreds of thousands if not millions of competitors and at first glance it can seem rather daunting when you’re trying to compete against these other websites.
However, there are some fairly easy processes that you can follow in order to get your web pages properly optimized. While this is only a fraction of what you can learn in the Bonehead SEO Course, it will help your web pages get moving in the right direction.
The major steps involved in the site optimization process are the following:
- Analysis of relevant keywords
- Development of website content
- Optimization of HTML codes
- Meta tag optimization
- Development of reciprocal links
- Search engine submission
- SEO copywriting
- Directory submission
- Article creation
- Blog development
- Website analysis
- Pay-per-click management
- Preservation of ranking reports
In a challenging economy smart businesses overhaul their marketing strategy, and look for ways to gain more potential customers. They see the opportunity for growth, when others are afraid. Today, the internet not only makes this easier, but allows you to achieve this goal in a much most cost effective way. With site optimization and site promotion, you can add value to your website and expand your web presence by gaining better positioning among top search rankings.
