BREAKING NEWS: "Meta tag abusers face 20 years in prison under US law".
The US has passed legislation which controls what website operators are allowed to put in their site meta tags. The law bans the use of words which might lead anyone to obscene content. Go on reading...

Do SEO Yourself (Short Tutorial)
SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization". It is the process of analyzing your potential design and problems for search engines indexing and positioning. In other words, making your web site and its content attractive, relevant and visible to search engines and web searchers.

There is nothing worse than having a beautiful web site with excellent written content, though you still lose traffic or you even keep potential visitors away, while your site cannot be found.

Before you begin optimizing your pages for Search Engines, consider that the following search engine optimization techniques are SPAM!

* automatically generated doorway pages
* cloaking and false redirects
* keyword stuffing
* hidden text or hidden links
* pages loaded with irrelevant words
* duplicated content on multiple pages
* misspelling of well-known web sites
* unrelated and centralized link farms
* other methods that try to trick search engines

If you use one of the above techniques, you might get short term results, but it's most likely that your site will be banned from search engines, and therefore you will put your business at severe risk.

You will have more success, if you will optimize your site for humans, and not machines!

Good luck with Search Engine Optimization.

Re: All you need for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

In the SEO TIPS section you have misspelled a person's name. If you are going to use someone's name please spell it correctly.

I must say that you have created an extensive list. There is much good in it at least.

I though that the list would be appreciated here. But it seems not. I contacted the admin to delete the thread and my membeship too. So no need to worry anymore.

And by the way, if I could edit the mistake, I would have done that. But it is not anymore necessary.

Your contributions are worthy. This place needs the basics reminded to us, with clarity, just like you present it in your insightful postings. The admins will remove it because of the links in it. They are on vacation for the moment though, I think.

Re: All you need for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Hi,

I was away in Chicago for a couple of days, and Davey was away for the past two weeks. We are both back now In order to not stifle conversation as much as in the past, the rules have been slightly altered to allow links to be posted as long as it is not overly obvious that they are advertisements or plugs of any kind.

Nice list.

I didn't check out everything listed, however, I noticed Zeal is there. Zeal has been shut down.

Good information but I think it will be too much for beginners. They can not start well when they read all this. Shorten it in few words : Good contents, natural income links, and patient! That are basic!
