• Search Engine Optimization Tips
    When we talk about site optimization, we are talking about making the site more search engine friendly, that is allowing it to rank better in search engines. When you optimize your site, you mainly optimize it for some keywords you are targeting. Keywords are the words people search for when using search engines, so for example, if your site is about natural disasters, you might be targeting the following keywords: earthquakes, volcano, tsunamis, nature disaster.

  • Building Links For Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
    In the past all you had to do to get good rankings in Google and the other search engines was to trade links with several other web sites using your key words in the link text. Although this still holds true today, I have reason to believe sites are being penalized for not using a directory style link structure with no more than 25 links per page.
