And having more visitors (and above all buyers) is ultimately the goal in sites promotion. For truth's sake, SEO is only one alternative to promote your site and increase traffic – there are many other online and offline ways to do accomplish the goal of getting high traffic and reaching your target audience. We are not going to explore them in this tutorial but just keep in mind that search engines are not the only way to get visitors to your site, although they seem to be a preferable choice and a relatively easy way to do it. iv_mit@yahoo.co.in (I.V.K Murthy) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/648/1/Static-Versus-Dynamic-URLs/Static-Versus-Dynamic-URLs.html Based on the previous section, you might have gotten the impression that the algorithms of search engines try to humiliate every designer effort to make a site gorgeous. Well, it has been explained why search engines do not like image, movies, applets and other extras. Now, you might think that search engines are far too cheeky to dislike dynamic URLs either. Honestly, users are also not in love with URLs like http://domain.com/product.php?cid=1&pid=5  because such URLs do not tell much about the contents of the page. mike@seoseonews.com (Mikebanks Mike Banks Valentine) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/647/1/Visual-Extras-and-SEO/Visual-Extras-and-SEO.html As already mentioned, search engines have no means to index directly extras like images, sounds, flash movies, javascript. Instead, they rely on your to provide meaningful textual description and based on it they can index these files. In a sense, the situation is similar to that with text 10 or so years ago – you provide a description in the metatag and search engines uses this description to index and process your page. If technology advances further, one day it might be possible for search engines to index images, movies, etc. but for the time being this is just a dream. venkat@exaltinfo.com (Venkat Sure) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/646/1/Content-Is-King/Content-Is-King.html If you are new to SEO, it might be a surprise for you that text is one of the driving forces to higher rankings.

Search engines (and your readers) love fresh content and providing them with regularly updated, relevant content is a recipe for success. nishanth@seoseonews.com (Nishanth S) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/645/1/Metatags/Metatags.html A couple of years ago tags were the primary tool for search engine optimization and there was a direct correlation between what you wrote there and your position in search results. However, algorithms got better and today the importance of metadata is decreasing day by day, especially with Google. iv_mit@yahoo.co.in (I.V.K Murthy) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/644/1/Links--Another-Important-SEO-Item/Links--Another-Important-SEO-Item.html 1. Why Links Are ImportantProbably the word that associates best with Web is “links”. That is what hypertext is all about – you link to pages you like and get linked by pages that like your site. Actually, the Web is woven out of interconnected pages and spiders follow the links, when indexing the Web. martin@seoseonews.com (Martin B) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/643/1/-Keywords--the-Most-Important-Item-in-SEO/Keywords--the-Most-Important-Item-in-SEO.html Keywords are the most important SEO item for every search engine – actually they are what search strings are matched against. So you see that it is very important that you optimize your site for the right keywords. This seems easy at first but when you get into more detail, it might be a bit confusing to correctly determine the keywords. But with a little research and thinking the problem of selecting the right keywords to optimize for can be solved. mike@seoseonews.com (Mikebanks Mike Banks Valentine) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/642/1/Introduction--What-Is-SEO/Introduction--What-Is-SEO.html Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is often considered the more technical part of Web marketing. This is true because SEO does help in the promotion of sites and at the same time it requires some technical knowledge – at least familiarity with basic HTML. SEO is sometimes also called SEO copyrighting because most of the techniques that are used to promote sites in search engines deal with text. Generally, SEO can be defined as the activity of optimizing Web pages or whole sites in order to make them more search engine-friendly, thus getting higher positions in search results. iv_mit@yahoo.co.in (I V) Fri, 23 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/470/1/Search-Engine-College-Students-Favor-Search-Engine-Marketing-Self-Study-Courses/Search-Engine-College-Students-Favor-Search-Engine-Marketing-Self-Study-Courses.html I remember the hot summer days where my favorite excuse to sit out by my swimming pool and "work" was gathering my notes and research to write a self-study website usability course for a new online school called The Search Engine College.

What is search engine optimization? Before we discuss that thing, you have to understand first how search engines work and a bit of know-how.Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn’t relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them. venkat@sgdndtworks.com (SEO News - Admin Admin) Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/69/1/ClickTracks-John-Marshall-to-Present-Free-Online-Class-on-Using-Web-Analytics-to-Quantify-SEO-Work/ClickTracks-John-Marshall-to-Present-Free-Online-Class-on-Using-Web-Analytics-to-Quantify.html SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Oct. 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Web analytics leader ClickTracks announced the latest offering in a continuing series of free online classes that teach online marketing and web analytics techniques.

It was a good friend from Netanya, Bat Sheva Hauerstock, who operates one of Israel's most popular Internet Web stores. "Bat Sheva, let me call you back in a short while," I told her, thinking it was another telephone call for Internet marketing consultation."Joel, Andy died last night." I was stunned. And with good reason.I had first met Andy Hauerstock in 1982, while on a business trip to Israel. This tall, thin, long black haired Canadian owned a t-shirt and army navy surplus gift store in Kikar Atarim, in Tel Aviv. His was the first inspirational image I ever had of a North American immigrant who was successfully making it in Israel. Andy was a fighter. And he sold to the world IDF fighting souvenirs and gifts. For the last ten years Andy had been fighting cancer. Each and every time his wife would call me I would get a fright, thinking the worst. But Andy never dies. He fights and wins. All the same I finally had no fright answering this one phone call. And this one phone call was the very one I had dreaded for years.  iv_mit@yahoo.co.in (I.V.K Murthy) Mon, 09 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.seoseonews.com/articles/141/1/Starr-Tincup-Vice-Presidents-Ability-to-Retain-Relationships-with-Major-Clients-is-Key-Asset-to-Firm/Starr-Tincup-Vice-Presidents-Ability-to-Retain-Relationships-with-Major-Clients-is-Key-Asset-to-Fir.html Marketing firm highlights Kevin Mangum’s ability to maintain long-term, successful client relationships.Ft.
