Q: Why Search Engine important to me?

A: 85% of all website traffic is driven by the search engines. The only online activity more popular than research is a messaging service. 79.2% of American users do not go to page 2 of the results. 42% of users click on the no.1 result.

For most searches, the search engine displays a long list links to sites with content that is related to the word you searched. These results are ranked according to their relevance and importance.
“X Pure Paid advertising. This is how search engines make their money. Advertisers pay the search engines to display their ad whenever someone is looking for a word that is related to their product or service. These ads are similar to that of search results, but are usually labeled Sponsored and normally take a small portion of the window.

Q: How can I get a good ranking?

A: There are four stages:
Step 1 - Use the right words on your site
Step 2 - Get lots of relevant sites to link to yours
Step 3 - Use the right words in these links
Step 4 - Have a lot of your content and add more regularly

Many people use SEO also describe the other ingredients in a high-ranking, “Link Popularity“.

Links to your site on search engines to tell how your site is important.

Search engine optimization is the art of upholding the search engine ranking of your web page. And this art is crafted by artisans called SEOs, who can feel the pulse of web and move with a bang followed by cutting-edge optimization techniques. There are innumerable tools and techniques of a successful search engine optimization. A few are outlined below:
• Link Building: Link building is an effective tool of search engine optimization. For a sound optimization, you need to exchange links from those who share interest similar to you. It’s good to stare at those links which are worth important and share with those who are having a good page rank. Search engine usually do not consider those sites, which have no link/s pointing to its webpage/s. Apart from giving links, you should check twice if someone is requesting you for a link exchange. Check out his site, its subject, page rank, value. If nothing is worrying you, add his link.
• Web Site Design: For those, who want to get indexed, web site design is of great importance. It’s good to go for a design that appeals but it shouldn’t be over emphasized. Opt for a design that speaks for you more than itself. If possible stay away from flash websites. Give due importance to text content than HTML. Use all the latest and graphic designing tools to make it relevant and appropriate. However, shed those who sound too much.
• Title tag and Alt Tag: Title tag has its necessary importance in a successful search engine optimization. Put title tag in every single webpage. Put exact keyword for a webpage in the title-tag. Alt tag is equally important. While optimizing, you should put the main keyword/s in Alt tag. But restrain from over doing the same.
• Page size: Size matters! To let the robots spider your webpage faster, you need to mull over the size of your webpage. It is suggested to keep your website page between 5k and 15k in size. Anything more or less might create troubles to open-up your webpage.

Today, when Google seems to hunt irrelevant links on low quality website, it’s especially important to pay attention to our link building strategy and make sure we don’t gather backlinks from directories that also accept submissions from MFA and illegal content sites. This is exactly what makes MaxDirectory.eu stand out — quality.

This web directory has strict policy for link submission, no sites with excessive ads, pop-ups, animation let alone dodgy content will be listed. So if you want to join MaxDirectory.eu’s family, you ought to have a family friendly website. For owners of quality websites who seek to gather quality back links this directory is a real find — submission costs only $5 or $10 (standard and express version) and unlike other directories that charge over $40 and do not refund the submission fee in case the link is refused — Max Directory does refund your money. So there is absolutely no risk in trying.

Among other advantages of Max Directory over others on the web, is the layout. For the first time I got to see big icons near every category,which is a very appealing web 2.0 element. This way, it’s much easier to find what you are looking for as the icons are very appealing.

I am going to submit my site for a listing soon and hopefully it will get approved, but til then, just like thousands of other webmasters, I am willingly taking advantage of their articles section. These professionally written SEO tutorials will teach you how to build your PageRank, how to submit your site to DMOZ, as well as explain you in plain language the Adsense terms, which we misinterpret so often.

Overall it’s a beautifully laid out directory that makes a very positive impression, with a lot of quality content and review fees are unbeatably low (please note that you pay for the manual human review of your site, not for the link itself as the submission itself is free!).

Paying $5 for a permanent high quality backlink on a well-indexed directory, on a page with relevant content and family friendly links — definitely worth the investment. So, get your link!

Some people think that it’ enough to advertise here and there to get traffic, if you are under people’s noses, they will bear you in mind and your name will eventually become a brand. Others assume that creating super - ultra interesting content will result in Search Engines eventually picking your website and driving tons of visitors and other bloggers and site owners will start linking to you. Cool, but that takes quite a lot of time and if Google will decide to ban you for selling links or whatever reason — you will never really get anywhere with your “original content” if you were to build on SEO.

So, practically the only best and free way is creating free wordpress themes, making them so good so that people would want to scroll down and click on credits.  This is probably the only thing i was doing recently.

QuantCast.com is yet another competitor to Alexa rank, which presents the demographics of web sites as well as the estimated monthly unique visitors, similar sites and the profile of a typical visitor of the site.

Sounds good? No, it’s not. From my little checking, the results turned to be WAY unreliable. For instance, I checked my other blog — Top Photoshop Tutorials and it said that the estimated monthly U.S visitors amount is below 2,000. While on some day toptut.com gets more than 2,000 visitors a day (!) I can only but say that the data is slightly inaccurate. However, if you are dissatisfied with the results, you can register, and fixed the bad data by displaying their widgets on your site allowing them to gather the info.

Cool, so they say you have no traffic, and if you want to prove the world it’s wrong, you have to:

1. Sign up.
2. Link to them using a banner.

That’s pretty much WORSE than Alexa…

Yes, there is more than Google PageRank and Alexa rank in this world. You can determind you website’s worth using various online tools, as each of them is based on a different altagorism. So…

1. Webagogo — tests the quality of your site and displays the results in a brief overview against a pleasant interface. This tool performs markup and style analysis, accessibility tests, usability tests, speed benchmark tests and calculates SEO effectiveness.
2. Blog Juice is a tool for blogs only, and estimates the value upon the approximate number of Bloglines subscribers, Alexa rank, the ranking assigned by Technorati and the number of inbound links. The too, in my personal opinion is not very accurate, but it’s nice to play around with it.
3. Page Strength SEO Tool measures the relative importance of a page, the potential power and ability to rank good in SE (Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc) and displays data on popularity, links and some other aspects such as DMOZ listing.
4. Sitescore — last but definitely not least and probably the most prominent analytics online tool that I have seen so far. It provides a detailed report on dozens of various design-related aspects. Everything gets evaluated and rated based on its performance on the scale from 1 to 10. Very easy, very nice, and very insightful. This tool’s free version is currently NOT available.

Now you have some more toys to play with while PageRank is updating and Alexa is going downhills.
