BLOG YOUR SITE TO PAGE 1 OF GOOGLE!
Sam
going to tell everyone how to get their site to page one.
1. Download the google toolbar for the pagerank bar. This is a must as
it will tell the pr of the sites you will need to add your link to.
2. Do a search got blogs in google and look for blogs that are at least
pr6. You don't need to slum in anything lower than a pr6 blog because
Google has artificially raised the pagerank of blogs because they own
most of the free blogger services that everyone is using today. Google
wants to play games and get rich off this well so can you along with
them!
3. Look for the comments links that most blogs have and write a comment
telling them how nice their blog is as an excuse to add a link to your
own website (they ask for url or homepage in those comment links). Do
hundreds of these that are pr6 on up and you will have hundreds of back
links for your url which will zoom your site up the google ladder of
success. You'll be popular by Google's standards and be playing their
little game.
4. You will also need text links as well (links that google doesn't
allow as a back link). They are as important as back links in getting
higher ranking and listing in google. You get these from guestbooks.
Find hundreds of guestbooks and post away like mad at them but only ones
that allow you to put your own url at them. It is also good here to
finds guestbooks that are pr4 on up on there are tons of them.
5. Keywords - don't listen to the people here trying to mislead you on
purpose. You don't need that many keywords ag google's system is based
on link popularity of your site. Just have one keyword for your search
term in your title and maybe 5 on the page itself within the text and
some of the links of your page. All that does is tell google where you
want your site listed at not and it will not help you with ranking at
all. But it is good to use keywords that are not your main search ones
to get your site listed at other minor search terms.

I'm sorry, I just have to comment. I'm a girl, and I don't top post, I
don't have a butterfly mind (unless it's one of brucie's butterflies), but
I do multi-task. Well, to be honest, I DO have some friends who are

OK here it is:
The following will build a successful site in 1 years time via Google alone.
It can be done faster if you are a real go getter, or everyones favorite a
self starter.
A) Prep work and begin building content. Long before the domain name is
settled on, start putting together notes to build at least a 100 page site.
That's just for openers. That's 100 pages of real content, as opposed to
link pages, resource pages, about/copyright/tos...etc eg: fluff pages.
B) Domain name:
Easily brandable. You want "google.com" and not "mykeyword.com". Keyword
domains are out - branding and name recognition are in - big time in. The
value of keywords in a domain name have never been less to se's. Learn the
lesson of "goto.com" becomes "Overture.com" and why they did it. It's one of
the most powerful gut check calls I've ever seen on the internet. That took
serious resolve and nerve to blow away several years of branding. (that is a
whole 'nother article, but learn the lesson as it applies to all of us).
C) Site Design:
The simpler the better. Rule of thumb: text content should out weight the
html content. The pages should validate and be usable in everything from
Lynx to leading edge browsers. eg: keep it close to html 3.2 if you can.
Spiders are not to the point they really like eating html 4.0 and the mess
that it can bring. Stay away from heavy: flash, dom, java, java script. Go
external with scripting languages if you must have them - there is little
reason to have them that I can see - they will rarely help a site and stand
to hurt it greatly due to many factors most people don't appreciate (search
engines distaste for js is just one of them).
Arrange the site in a logical manner with directory names hitting the top
keywords you wish to hit.
You can also go the other route and just throw everything in root (this is
rather controversial, but it's been producing good long term results across
many engines).
Don't clutter and don't spam your site with frivolous links like "best
viewed" or other counter like junk. Keep it clean and professional to the
best of your ability.
Learn the lesson of Google itself - simple is retro cool - simple is what
surfers want.
Speed isn't everything, it's almost the only thing. Your site should respond
almost instantly to a request. If you get into even 3-4 seconds delay until
"something happens" in the browser, you are in long term trouble. That 3-4
seconds response time may vary for site destined to live in other countries
than your native one. The site should respond locally within 3-4 seconds
(max) to any request. Longer than that, and you'll lose 10% of your audience
for every second. That 10% could be the difference between success and not.
The pages:
D) Page Size:
The smaller the better. Keep it under 15k if you can. The smaller the
better. Keep it under 12k if you can. The smaller the better. Keep it under
10k if you can - I trust you are getting the idea here. Over 5k and under
10k. Ya - that bites - it's tough to do, but it works. It works for search
engines, and it works for surfers. Remember, 80% of your surfers will be at
56k or even less.
E) Content:
Build one page of content and put online per day at 200-500 words. If you
aren't sure what you need for content, start with the Overture keyword
suggester and find the core set of keywords for your topic area. Those are
your subject starters.
F) Density, position, yada...
Simple old fashioned seo from the ground up.
Use the keyword once in title, once in description tag, once in a heading,
once in the url, once in bold, once in italic, once high on the page, and
hit the density between 5 and 20% (don't fret about it). Use good sentences
and speel check it ;-) Spell checking is becoming important as se's are
moving to auto correction during searches. There is no longer a reason to
look like you can't spell (unless you really are phonetically challenged).
G) Outbound Links:
From every page, link to one or two high ranking sites under that particular
keyword. Use your keyword in the link text (this is ultra important for the
future).
H) Insite Cross links.
(cross links in this context are links WITHIN the same site)
Link to on topic quality content across your site. If a page is about food,
then make sure it links it to the apples and veggies page. Specifically with
Google, on topic cross linking is very important for sharing your pr value
across your site. You do NOT want an "all star" page that out performs the
rest of your site. You want 50 pages that produce 1 referral each a day and
do NOT want 1 page that produces 50 referrals a day. If you do find one page
that drastically out produces the rest of the site with Google, you need to
off load some of that pr value to other pages by cross linking heavily. It's
the old share the wealth thing.
I) Put it Online.
Don't go with virtual hosting - go with a stand alone ip.
Make sure the site is "crawlable" by a spider. All pages should be linked to
more than one other page on your site, and not more than 2 levels deep from
root. Link the topic vertically as much as possible back to root. A menu
that is present on every page should link to your sites main "topic index"
pages (the doorways and logical navigation system down into real content).
Don't put it online before you have a quality site to put online. It's worse
to put a "nothing" site online, than no site at all. You want it flushed out
from the start.
Go for a listing in the ODP. If you have the budget, then submit to
Looksmart and Yahoo. If you don't have the budget, then try for a freebie on
Yahoo (don't hold your breath).
J) Submit
Submit the root to: Google, Fast, Altavista, WiseNut, (write Teoma),
DirectHit, and Hotbot. Now comes the hard part - forget about submissions
for the next six months. That's right - submit and forget.
K) Logging and Tracking:
Get a quality logger/tracker that can do justice to inbound referrals based
on log files (don't use a lame graphic counter - you need the real deal). If
your host doesn't support referrers, then back up and get a new host. You
can't run a modern site without full referrals available 24x7x365 in real
time.
L) Spiderlings:
Watch for spiders from se's. Make sure those that are crawling the full
site, can do so easily. If not, double check your linking system (use
standard hrefs) to make sure the spider found it's way throughout the site.
Don't fret if it takes two spiderings to get your whole site done by Google
or Fast. Other se's are pot luck and doubtful that you will be added at all
if not within 6 months.
M) Topic directories.
Almost every keyword sector has an authority hub on it's topic. Go submit
within the guidelines.
N) Links
Look around your keyword sector in Googles version of the ODP. (this is best
done AFTER getting an odp listing - or two). Find sites that have links
pages or freely exchange links. Simply request a swap. Put a page of on
topic, in context links up your self as a collection spot.
Don't freak if you can't get people to swap links - move on. Try to swap
links with one fresh site a day. A simple personal email is enough. Stay low
key about it and don't worry if site Z won't link with you - they will -
eventually they will.
O) Content.
One page of quality content per day. Timely, topical articles are always the
best. Try to stay away from to much "bloggin" type personal stuff and look
more for "article" topics that a general audience will like. Hone your
writing skills and read up on the right style of "web speak" that tends to
work with the fast and furious web crowd.
Lots of text breaks - short sentences - lots of dashes - something that
reads quickly.
Most web users don't actually read, they scan. This is why it is so
important to keep low key pages today. People see a huge overblown page by
random, and a portion of them will hit the back button before trying to
decipher it. They've got better things to do that waste 15 seconds (a
stretch) at understanding your whiz bang flash menu system. Because some big
support site can run flashed out motorhead pages, that is no indication that
you can. You don't have the pull factor they do.
Use headers, and bold standout text liberally on your pages as logical
separators. I call them scanner stoppers where the eye will logically come
to rest on the page.
P) Gimmicks.
Stay far away from any "fades of the day" or anything that appears spammy,
unethical, or tricky. Plant yourself firmly on the high ground in the middle
of the road.
Q) Link backs
When YOU receive requests for links, check the site out before linking back
with them. Check them through Google and their pr value. Look for directory
listings. Don't link back to junk just because they asked. Make sure it is a
site similar to yours and on topic.
R) Rounding out the offerings:
Use options such as Email-a-friend, forums, and mailing lists to round out
your sites offerings. Hit the top forums in your market and read, read, read
until your eyes hurt you read so much.
Stay away from "affiliate fades" that insert content on to your site.
S) Beware of Flyer and Brochure Syndrome
If you have an ecom site or online version of bricks and mortar, be careful
not to turn your site into a brochure. These don't work at all. Think about
what people want. They aren't coming to your site to view "your content",
they are coming to your site looking for "their content". Talk as little
about your products and yourself as possible in articles (raise
eyebrows...yes, I know).
T) Build one page of content per day.
Head back to the Overture suggestion tool to get ideas for fresh pages.
U) Study those logs.
After 30-60 days you will start to see a few referrals from places you've
gotten listed. Look for the keywords people are using. See any bizarre
combinations? Why are people using those to find your site? If there is
something you have over looked, then build a page around that topic. Retro
engineer your site to feed the search engine what it wants.
If your site is about "oranges", but your referrals are all about "orange
citrus fruit", then you can get busy building articles around "citrus" and
"fruit" instead of the generic "oranges".
The search engines will tell you exactly what they want to be fed - listen
closely, there is gold in referral logs, it's just a matter of panning for
it.
V) Timely Topics
Nothing breeds success like success. Stay abreast of developments in your
keyword sector. If big site "Z" is coming out with product "A" at the end of
the year, then build a page and have it ready in October so that search
engines get it by December. eg: go look at all the Xbox and XP sites in
Google right now - those are sites that were on the ball last summer.
W) Friends and Family
Networking is critical to the success of a site. This is where all that time
you spend in forums will pay off. pssst: Here's the catch-22 about forums:
lurking is almost useless. The value of a forum is in the interaction with
your fellow colleagues and cohorts. You learn long term by the interaction -
not by just reading.
Networking will pay off in link backs, tips, email exchanges, and it will
put you "in the loop" of your keyword sector.
X) Notes, Notes, Notes
If you build one page per day, you will find that brain storm like
inspiration will hit you in the head at some magic point. Whether it is in
the shower (dry off first), driving down the road (please pull over), or
just parked at your desk, write it down! 10 minutes of work later, you will
have forgotten all about that great idea you just had. Write it down, and
get detailed about what you are thinking. When the inspirational juices are
no longer flowing, come back to those content ideas. It sounds simple, but
it's a life saver when the ideas stop coming.
Y) Submission check at six months
Walk back through your submissions and see if you got listed in all the
search engines you submitted to after six months. If not, then resubmit and
forget again. Try those freebie directories again too.
Z) Build one page of quality content per day.
Starting to see a theme here? Google loves content, lots of quality content.
Broad based over a wide range of keywords. At the end of a years time, you
should have around 400 pages of content. That will get you good placement
under a wide range of keywords, generate recip links, and overall position
your site to stand on it's own two feet.
Do those 26 things, and I guarantee you that in ones years time you will
call your site a success. It will be drawing between 500 and 2000 referrals
a day from search engines. If you build a good site with an average of 4 to
5 pages per user, you should be in the 10-15k page views per day range in
one years time. What you do with that traffic is up to you, but that is more
than enough to "do something" with.

I've read this before and a lot of it is rubbish, so take a lot of it
with a large pinch of salt. There are so many fundamental flaws like
linking to two external sites per page!! Don't do that. And stuff you
don't need to do well (separate IP) that the good stuff is seriously
watered down.
My main sites just over one year old, on October the 1st we received
4,938 unique visitors (2 and a half times more than the article
promises), 61,116 page views which is 4 to 5 times what the article
promises. Very similar stats for October the 2nd as well.
BTW this was at very little monetary cost (the sites on a virtual
server), the expense was my time.

Sam
google. I'm generally typing at warp speed with two fingers and make a
million typos all the time because of that. Just search for blog in
google and links at blog pages you find. You want blogs that have pr6-8
range and there's tons of them out there because google over ranks blogs
because they practically own the whole thing. I don't waste my time on
anything lower than a pr6 which is ludicrous considering I used to view
pr5 websites as hot stuff but now will no longer touch websites at all
for links since their ranking sucks compared to blogs. I just found a
pr9 blog that I posted comments at with my url all over the place on it.
I even go back a few months in their archives and post. Websites are
dead, google has killed them in place of blogs as far as getting links
go that is. So don't waste your time link exchanging with other websites
use the blogs instead and it's one way linking which works twice as good
as link exchanges do. That pr9 I posted at is the equivalent of
exchanging at least 100 pr5 websites. Google wants to play games then
it's fine with me because I'll play their game back at them.

I wondered the same thing then realized he meant search "for" blogs.
Look down at your keyboard and you will see he probably hit the wrong keys.
f is next to g and t is next to r.
That is also why you should tweak your pages for misspellings.
Its not always that the searcher cant spell, he simply hits a wrong key.

Please take more care with your typing. Your posts are usually very hard to

And seeing as you don't use any paragraphs, I simply don't read your posts

Just a minor point. Robert seems to be calling news a "moron".
Robert also uses "there" for "their". I know correctly spelling is
inappropriate, but who is the real moron here.
I also thought calling people "moron" was inappropriate.
Can we keep the comments to relevant search engine matters?
Whoops, I must be a moron because I am about to post with a complaint
about relevancy, and my message is not relevant to search engines.
Anyone want to keep this thread up and keep posting about things that

Please keep the comments objective and relevant.

I disagree, but since the group seems be against top posting, I will
avoid it.
Personally I prefer top posting. How many messages and replies and
replies to replies need to carry the "conversation." Every one of
these I have to scroll down to see the poster's comments.
If I started reading the most current post, I would agree with you,
assuming the most current post also accurately and completely copied
all previous posts, which is not always true.
To me a faster way to read and follow a conversation is with top
posting. The reason: with my newsreader, Agent, and with most
newsreaders I think, you can show the list of messages in one window
and in another window show the body, or at least part of it.
I find this a quick way to read lots of posts. I can scroll down the
list of messages, from oldest to newest, and I can read the body in
another window. But I can not see the entire body when doing this.
So with bottom posting if I want to see want a poster says, I have to
move to a message and then scroll all the way down to the message. If
there are 10 replies in a conversation, that means I have to scroll
ten times. Does not seem efficient to me.
While bottom posting does let you follow the conversation, I prefer to
follow conversations as they are posted, one message at a time,
without relying on a conversation to be repeated in every message.
Also bottom posting and following a conversation via a bottom post,
means you are counting on the poster you are currently reading to
accurately duplicate previous messages, and I have found too many
posters snip and distort a message to which they are replying.
(This by the way is not always bad. Replies to long posts asking for
technical info and sometimes social or political posts with long
comments and trains of logic are best answered by clipping and
addressing short sections of a message.)
Top posting to me means you could see my post without having to scroll
down through the message, and I am counting on you the reader to
follow the conversation by reading each message as posted. By the
way since I know sometimes people miss messages, I always try to
duplicate the message to which I posting at the bottom of my post, so
you can find it if you want to.
Again I prefer top posting, but since the group is reading my posts
and not me, I will follow whatever conventions it is felt help convey
my messages.

No longer possible because bloggers are now wise to this trick.
Have a look at this:

and while a few sites and people are wise to it the majority are not and
won't be for quite a while.
I hope they do all get wise to it and that was the reason behind my post
to begin with. Google is becoming the laughing stock of the internet
with their blogs and their allowing internal links to act the same as
external links you trade with other sites. It creats SPAM and google is
becoming the KING of the SPAMMER search engines.

I really don't see too many people laughing at google.
Also, what solution do you propose regarding the internal/external links
situation? Exactly how can google tell which link is internal and which is
external?
Sam
know that www.dogs.com/big-dogs/dogs1.html is an internal link of
www.dogs.com don't you?

Heres my .02 for the SEO page. By the way it is looking good.
Choosing a domain
Choosing a domain can be very simple but there are a few points to
consider. There are two schools of thought that will be presented
here. You decide which will be best for your situation.
For this example we will call our company Handmade Jewelry Online. You
will probably want your site to come up on the first or second page of
a search for the words "handmade jewelry". In that case you might
want to pick a domain name using hyphenated words, such as
www.handmade-jewelry.com The reason is that the search engines can see
the distinction between the words handmade and jewelry. If the search
engines can find the search terms in your domain name this will boost
your ranking in their engines. This will not guarantee a top spot but
will weigh in as a factor in ranking your site. If you choose
www.handmadejewlryonline.com the engines will only see the word
"handmadejewelryonline" which of course doesn't exist in the English
language and would rarely be searched for in that way. There are
exceptions of course to this. I have a site that exist to help folks
find college degrees online and include the word "collegedegree" in
the content(not in the domain name) of the website because it is
sometimes searched for by running the words together. If you never
plan to advertise your site outside of the internet then a hyphenated
domain name is fine. People wont be expected to remember it and it
will usually be found be clicking on it's link anyway.
Another reason for buying a hyphenated name would be because the name
you want is taken. If you were dying to buy www.freebeer.com and it is
taken then try www.free-beer.com or an alternate version and you might
be surprised to find it is available. You will find that if your
domain is unavailable that the registrar that you are purchasing from
will suggest a close variation of one that is available.
An exception to the hypenated domain name would be buying a name that
will be heavily advertised and promoted to have strong brand
recognition among your customers. If you are looking to promote a
catchy name that people would recognize through a large advertising
campaign then the hyphen is generally no longer an issue. Some obvious
examples would be monster.com, yahoo.com, google.com, or msn.com.
Before the monster.com ad campaigns began, folks rarely would search
for "monster" when looking for employment. In this case
www.search-for-employment.com would have been a better choice but the
company in this example has chosen large amounts of advertising to
drive traffic to the site www.monster.com, thus making keywords in the
domain name as less important. Although one could argue that they have
made the keyword "monster" a major search term for empoyment seekers
as a result.

Checkout articles in The Register,
"Plagued by link farms and blog noise, Google's engineers have
resorted to brute force suppression of the search results, in the
process, throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Recently rival
search engines with much smaller resources - they index fewer pages -
have trumped Google by offering clearer, more useful results."

Personally I still find Google useful but whereas it was my defacto
search engine for a few years I now have to use other engines to make
sure I've not missed useful content.
Sam
And it's going to get much much worse if Google continues on the same
road they are on. I would say within one year's time tops, maybe as
little as the next 6 months their search engine will become totally
useless as a search engine if they continue this trend they are on. It's
ashame too because Google used to be one of the very best search engines
around. Also if Google goes there are really no other search engines
around that are any good to take their place. The others are all mostly
paid results which is as bad as Google's allowing internal page spam and
blog over ranking. As far as I'm concerned the search engines are the
heart and soul of the internet. If search engines die the internet goes
with it.
