MSN and          Hotbot. How does my SERPS Tool work? Its simple, just enter your keyword/keyword phrase into the "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Keyword&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;" submit box, then enter your URL (Website Address www.yourdomain.com) into the field labeled "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Your URL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;" and finally specify the "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Page Depth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;" this variable tells the spider how far to go page wise before giving up tryign to find your rank. If you are not in the serps within "X" specified pages then the message "There is no information for your query" will come up. It doesn't really mean there is no information for your serps, it just means that you don't rank for that keyword within your specified page depth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/form&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3304581042686297023-6751129766729058574?l=venkateshsearchengineoptimizer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venkateshsearchengineoptimizer.blogspot.com/feeds/6751129766729058574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3304581042686297023&amp;postID=6751129766729058574' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3304581042686297023/posts/default/6751129766729058574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3304581042686297023/posts/default/6751129766729058574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venkateshsearchengineoptimizer.blogspot.com/2008/06/original-seo-friendly-free-directory.html' title='Search Engine Positioning Tool &quot;THE SERPS TOOL!&quot;'/><author><name>Venkatesh SEO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14993099932288565790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0jKlm5Jk1Jw/Syy4Z6Q-p9I/AAAAAAAAAS8/pZ7S0tpj3W4/S220/Venkatesh.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304581042686297023.post-6712623526891135308</id><published>2008-06-02T05:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-24T05:42:26.294-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Search Engine Optimization - How It Works</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0jKlm5Jk1Jw/SGDrpQXOICI/AAAAAAAAADc/pSB78-63FnI/s1600-h/jkn.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0jKlm5Jk1Jw/SGDrpQXOICI/AAAAAAAAADc/pSB78-63FnI/s320/jkn.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215427462494560290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you follow the trade press and other experts, and there is a &lt;a href="http://www.more-web-leads.com/seo-dir-resources.htm"&gt;great deal of material&lt;/a&gt;, you will find that three items combine to most assure that search engines will discern the keywords you want applied to a page. These elements are the page title, the text on the page, and the text of the link going to that page. These are the BIG THREE, the e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;Holy Trinity of search engine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Optimization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;The title is a standard tag found in the head section of an html - or web page - file. This text can be read in the window&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;frame for the internet browser and is also displayed as the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;link name in search engine results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;The text can be displayed within a large variety of tags within the body section of the html file. It is important that&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;there be text one way or another, sites with emphasis on design may render text into images, and in this case alternatives must be found to make the text accessible to the search engines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;The link text is the most often overlooked of the BIG THREE. How often do you still see the words click here? Most search&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;engine ranking algorithms follow a logic which equates link text with actual content. In other words if the link says &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;click here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; the search engine believes the page is about clicking here, but if the link says &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lwwoc.org/bennyhinn/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Benny Hinn Ministries - from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Living Word&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;, then, as far as the search engines are concerned, the page probably has something to do with - you guessed it, Living Word and Benny Hinn Ministries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Below you will find additional examples. Remember that sometimes the title will contain more than just the keywords pages and the target audience, you are targetting. These examples show how title, text and link text have been so ordered to indicate the content of theat least in search terms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.promocorp.com/index.html"&gt;Advertising Specialties for Event Planning Needs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.contractsunlimitedinc.com/federal-contract-options.htm"&gt;Options in Federal Government Contracts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.galleonjewelers.com/category.asp?catid=2"&gt;Galleon Jewelers: Your Nautical, Marine &amp;amp; Gold Dolphin Jewelery Connection&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;One  other important aspect of search engine success is your link strategy - or how you get other sites to link to your site. Links from other sites to your site are important in the first place for discovery, secondly for relevance, and finally for importance - three terms used widely in the discussion of search engine ranking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;The aggregate inbound links from other sites are key indicators, at least to search engines, of how important your site is. You may have the best information available on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.washingtonworkplace.com/index_main.html"&gt;office furniture in Washington DC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; but unless other sites link to yours, the search engin&lt;/span&gt;es will make the determination that your site is unimportant. All other things being equal, &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;search engines will rank your more important competitors pages ahead of yours. Fortunately, there are a number of ways the search engines themselves can help with inbound links. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;An &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.more-web-leads.com/xsurf-case-study.htm"&gt;Internet Marketing Case Study&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; of the work completed for our first and longest running customer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xsurfaces.com/"&gt;Exquisite Surfaces&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; gives more examples.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Discovery is the process by which search engines find new pages. The search engines use robot web crawlers which go out periodically to all the pages the search engine already knows about (frequency based on importance!) and collects the latest information on that page (since pages change over time). Among other items they collect are the links on the page. The links are compared to the list of known pages and any unknown pages are put into another queue (based on the importance of the referring page!) to be crawled by the robot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;How relevant is any given page to the requested search? Relevance really ties together all the strands of search engine optimization work. A page is relevant if the link text indicates other sites label it as relevant, if it is important (i.e. trusted), and if the page title and text indicate the page&lt;/span&gt; has contents specifically about those keywords.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.more-web-leads.com/info-req.htm"&gt;Are  you ready to start getting more leads now?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3304581042686297023-6712623526891135308?l=venkateshsearchengineoptimizer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://venkateshsearchengineoptimizer.blogspot.com/feeds/6712623526891135308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3304581042686297023&amp;postID=6712623526891135308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3304581042686297023/posts/default/6712623526891135308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3304581042686297023/posts/default/6712623526891135308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venkateshsearchengineoptimizer.blogspot.com/2008/06/search-engine-optimization-how-it-works.html' title='Search Engine Optimization - How It Works'/><author><name>Venkatesh SEO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14993099932288565790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0jKlm5Jk1Jw/Syy4Z6Q-p9I/AAAAAAAAAS8/pZ7S0tpj3W4/S220/Venkatesh.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0jKlm5Jk1Jw/SGDrpQXOICI/AAAAAAAAADc/pSB78-63FnI/s72-c/jkn.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304581042686297023.post-349688032693535950</id><published>2008-06-02T05:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-24T21:07:44.454-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Keyword Suggestion Tool</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;Keyword suggestion tips&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="offset"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Choosing the right keywords is critical for a success of a website. Target the wrong keywords and you have lost. There is pure gold hidden in less competitive keyword combinations and variations. Here are some more &lt;i&gt;keyword suggestion tips&lt;/i&gt; for your success:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Start your research with more general terms. Let's say your website is about widgets. Type in "widgests" into our keyword suggestion box and study the results. Write down all results that are somehow relevant for your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Dig for more specific keywords. Based on the list you have just created, do a search for every keyword combination (let's say "red widget", "discount widget" and so on) and write down the new keyword combinations. It makes no sense to search for those new terms as you would not get anything new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Now think about synonyms that people might search for like "buy widgets" and "purchase widgets". Do a research for them too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Now you should have a decent list of relevant keywords. Optimize your pages for them. Create new pages optimized for the missing keyword combinations and link to them from your existing pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If you are serious about keyword research, we suggest to sign up for &lt;a href="http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/?id=109610" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.keyworddiscovery.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"&gt;Keyword Discovery&lt;/a&gt;.

In this part, I’ll cover that subject in more detail, and talk about using social media to promote your site.  &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.seochat.com/showblog/38344/Making-the-Most-of-Your-Content-for-Blended-Search/"&gt;Discuss (1)&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="4" align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="50%"&gt;&lt;table class="contentpaneopen" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="100%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;td width="100%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: normal;" href="http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Search-Engine-News/Powerset-Launches-as-Wikipedia-Tool/" class="site-tit1"&gt;Powerset Launches as Wikipedia Tool&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a class="art_titblack" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.seochat.com/c/b/Search-Engine-News/"&gt;Search Engine News&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;td colspan="1" align="left" valign="top"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="6" rowspan="2" valign="top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;td colspan="1" valign="top" width="50%"&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;td colspan="4" valign="top"&gt; Powerset says it can deliver on a promise originally made by Ask Jeeves: namely, if you ask it a simple question, it will answer.

This article, on the other hand, will delve into what they truly hate – namely, when web developers try to trick them.

Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_search" title="Image search"&gt;image search&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_search_%28Internet%29" title="Local search (Internet)"&gt;local search&lt;/a&gt;, and industry-specific &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_search" title="Vertical search"&gt;vertical search&lt;/a&gt; engines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;As a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing"&gt;marketing&lt;/a&gt; strategy for increasing a site's relevance, SEO considers how search &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms" class="mw-redirect" title="Algorithms"&gt;algorithms&lt;/a&gt; work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site's coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_indexing" class="mw-redirect" title="Search engine indexing"&gt;search engine indexing&lt;/a&gt; programs from fully &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spidering" class="mw-redirect" title="Spidering"&gt;spidering&lt;/a&gt; a site. Other, more noticeable efforts may include adding unique &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_content" title="Web content"&gt;content&lt;/a&gt; to a site, ensuring that content is easily indexed by search engine robots, and making the site more appealing to users. Another class of techniques, known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat" title="Black hat"&gt;black hat&lt;/a&gt; SEO or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamdexing" title="Spamdexing"&gt;spamdexing&lt;/a&gt;, use methods such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_farm" title="Link farm"&gt;link farms&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyword_stuffing" title="Keyword stuffing"&gt;keyword stuffing&lt;/a&gt; that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym_and_initialism" title="Acronym and initialism"&gt;initialism&lt;/a&gt; "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers", terms adopted by an industry of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consultants" class="mw-redirect" title="Consultants"&gt;consultants&lt;/a&gt; who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" title="HTML"&gt;HTML&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_site_design" class="mw-redirect" title="Web site design"&gt;design&lt;/a&gt;.
