I don't have the expertise right now (allow me some time..I am exploring this issue) to comment on this. :
Logically looking at ror.xml, I am not too clear how exactly this will help a spider (i.e. a search engine) to index your site...coz it hardly provides anything beyond a text tree. Had it allowed linking...then perhaps a spider would use this landing page to start building the index all around the site. But that is not possible (I am unsure whether the URL node will be beneficial to the spiders or not) i.e. why you use a site map. So, this xml page can be just anything...& one can put any text...any description here...perhaps to mis-lead (spiders) also. I will look forward to others' comment on this issue...as I think I am too ignorant about ror.xml right now. :-(


Nevertheless...focus on good & quality content....ensure regular update on your site. Your site will do good.

Regards
WC

like "formula 1 india" the site appears in the first page)...but google seems to
crawl only the homepage and seems it is not able to find the inside pages...you can refer

http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cach...ad4f1.com&hl=en

On what basis are you thinking:
(1) You got into the spam list?
(2) Google didn't read beyond home page?

Your site has already been indexed (had it been spammed...your site wouldn't have showed up at all) & it might take a while before all the other pages (i.e. inside) show up in SERP.
However, on top of all these...currently Google (even Yahoo & MSN) seem to be going through a DB & logic update...which might add a few more days/weeks to the length of your waiting period.

Have patience & observe the changes of the Search Engines...it is really a learning experience (& fun too).

Cheers!

Thanks a lot dude...you really have been a lot of help to me...

There is nothing in the site...that google should put it in the spam list... it just came to my mind....

if you make a search in the google as "mad4f1.com" it just shows the first page and none of the pages from the site...

anyways...will wait and have patience...

Hi greatone

Welcome to SEOChat!

First of all, you have NO idea how general your question is! Can you be more detailed with your question?

Second, what is your relationship with this industry, affiliate, casino, give more detail.

Though personally I don't enjoy promoting casino (or related site), but the thumb rule remains the same for all:
1. Good & Relevant Content
2. Good & Relevant Content
3. Good & Relevant Content
4. Easy navigation (easy for your end-users...don't worry about spiders, if your user can find all the pages easily...spider too wil have it easy).

N'joy!!!

I have to agree with you webcoder

There is just one problem, the casino industry is very,... very competitive.

If you are an affiliate
  • The first step to do is to get a relationship going with others in the industry. This will be crucial in obtaining themed backlinks
  • Do your keyword research and decide what keywords you wish to target, starting with the least competitive and working your way up!
  • Create a checklist of the different factors that are involved in SEO and webdesign. This form is crucial in order for you to document every change you make. Besides it having the different factors it should also document rank changes and the date and time of changes you make to pages. There is more involved to this, but it is VERY important!
  • Stay up to date with the changes in the industry by visiting this forum. You have 9+ months in the sandbox to look forward to so ensure you stay in touch with the latest SEO stuff!
  • Avoid Blackhat SEO - It is hard work and because of the Sandbox is very risky at the moment. Try to walk the road straight and narrow, in the long term it is more profitable!
  • Get involved in the industry by joining gambling forums. You will learn allot by doing this. You might even identify new niches that you can target.

This is a very short list that contain stuff people tend to forget, this forum contains plenty of winning information. For that purpouse decide on a strategy to manage your favourites pages as this will become very confusing after a while. But it will also serve as your most important guide.

If you are a casino
Most of the rules above will apply, however you then have a much higher budget available to you.
  • Look at global hosting of many sites related to your sites. as well as linking to your sites. Keyword research is crucial, if you don't do that you have no chance!

greatone, just a final note. You are getting involved in a scummy type industry, this means you have to sleep with your eyes open. Many people will attempt to cheat you with backlinks and "special offers" etc. be very carefull. For this reason it is important that you build relationships in the industry with people you can trust. Frequently test these relationships as you never know what happens next.

If you want to sell fish pond stuff instead let me know I might be able to assist there

Over-optimizing
Great tips, but don't use them all. I've known these tips for a couple of months and some of my sites are banned out of the top-50. Google have given me a penalty for over-optimizing my site :-( That sucks ...
Now I have to remove the optimizing codes. Or does somebody else knows what to do?

Reference text for Newbies to SEO
Do you have any beginner's level reference textbook that you would recommend? I am reading SEO for Dummies (I am not kidding) though I am concerned that it is already out of date with a copyright of 2004.

Thanks

Hi joluke263

SEO is not something that you can study in books. The best chance you have of truelly learning SEO is by joining SEO forums like SEOChat (Which I may mention is the best SEO forum for newbies). There after asking questions and more questions as walk the newbie SEO road. The best of the best is on this forum and more than willing to share their knowledge. If you wish to buy a book I would fully support Aaron's SEOBook. Really a very good book and worth the read. But none of these tutorials matches becoming involved with the SEOChat community. The thing is that SEO is forever changing, and it is a tuff road to walk on your own. There is many changes that you most probable will miss if you are on your own. My advice to you is to join the community and start asking questions while applying your new found knowledge. Also read the SEO FAQ in my signature
