Smile nice forum

as a newbie in seo. i find this forum quite interesting and helpful. just a quick question here:

>>what comprises keyword density?

i am using different tools for keyword density and it produces different results. Im in a notion that there are discrepancies on it. As a keyword density defined: number of keywords over the total number of words in a page.

>>is the keyword density for the visible text only? or does it include alt tags? title tags ? link text? anchor text? and so on and so forth... and where do i will base the seo practice that the keyword density should be lower than 8%? is that on the visible text alone ? or the totality of other tags?

thanks guys.. any response will be highly appreciated....

7 - Make sure you have 404 page

Sorry I can't understand this sentence, U mean to say there should the 404 page error "pade not found" error in our site. If you think it should be there in site why? explain

I think this should not be there insite it will hinder the ranking

In IIS, We setup all these pages. 403, 404 etc. to ensure that if there is an error (which happens allot with new sites). To ensure that there is always a page available. Less deadlinks is always better for SEO as well as visitors. lol

I welcome some more additions to enlarge this MUST HAVE TIPS, so that the new comers to SEO arena can get better results.

Here is my standard suggestions that might help:

Optional but very important:

A - Own your-domain-name-dot-com
B - Host your site on a reliable server

1 - Shorten the title to 55 chars
2 - Add the robots tag
3 - Place the robots.txt in your root on your server
4 - Get rid of the js in the code and put it in an external file
5 - Use css instead of color, size and font tags
5 - Change the link buttons or js links in to text links
6 - Make sure to have a site map page
7 - Make sure you have 404 page
8 - At the bottom of each page use menus as text links
9 - Make sure your page code is not bigger than 100 K
10 - Submit your site to ODP and Yahoo Dir, make sure to select the right cat
11 - Pay special attention to your content
12 - Try to get as much as relevant links you can
13 - Read each search engines guide lines and follow them strictly
14 - Don't spam
15 - Don't use doorway pages
16 - Don't cloak
17 - Always come and ask for advice on this board
18 - And pray hard that the big G appreciates all your efforts

This will help as long as you follow each rule here ;)


19 - Always add Fresh content
20 - For Deep Crawling use Google Sitemaps
21- Timely check your stats log file and ractify errors accordingly
22 - Maintain a ratio of link development
23 - Always write theme based content
24 - avoide link exchanges with spamed website
25 - Donot use automated submission software or scripts
26 - Follow W3C validators for clean coading guidelines
27- network your websites for better link development

It covers most of the seo process

Hello,

I have been a developer for quite some time and been up to date with my seo, but as for unique content and optimizing certain pages for certain search engines, I have been "lacking knowledge."

How do you optimize a page for search engines using content? (I have read about making your keywords bold/italic/underline in the content)

Will search engines recognize you highlighting your keywords in the content by matchnig them with your title and incoming links?

Please help me out when you have time. Thanks alot guys. Great thread.

Examples:

Google uses a maximum 64 character for Title Element, MSN - 70, Yahoo - 100

Thus you have much more you can add for Yahoo in the Title Element at Yahoo than Google.

Professionally I optimize for Google and ignore the difference for the others - mostly because it is triple work, and clients don't pay triple costs.

If the website was mine and ranked targeted - the investment is worthy.

In a single domain you can create three duplicated trees [with but the unique attributes for the search engines] one for each crawler, and use robots.txt to prevent each crawler from grabbing page of the other[so not to penalize you for duplicated content].

As you can serve up different pages for different user-agents both the browser and the bot can be provided their appropriate page.

I may quite well be wrong as I am only a pup but I have been looking at this character question and find that :

Google-Title- 65 chars finish on a complete word
Description- 154 chars

Yahoo-Title-110 finish on the character (to make 1 line)
description-215-220 / first line 124/5

I think these are safe even if they are a little under maximums

...and MSN title is 135 characters.

If you truly wish to optimize to the best you can get for each search engine:

Develop 2 architectures [one for Google and one for Yahoo/MSN] you could do 3 but Yahoo and MSN are pretty similar so wasted effort.

Ban bots from the opposing archives - and adjust all attributes to accommodate each.

I have tried to use the Title chars to work on both, got a good title which ends ok for google and extended it still making good sense for yahoo. Not sure this will work but i am hoping so

Would that make sense you think Fathom
