Usually they are launched at the same time with product launch. Before that they are protected by password or not accessible by robots due to /disallow flag. But this is not a good idea!<div><b>Why?</b></div><div>Google and other search engines are not very fast. Websites are not indexed instantly. When product is launced and potentional customers start to google it, they usually don't find it in 7-14 days.</div><div><b>Solution</b></div><div>You have to register domain and open website way prior to product launch. Yes, you don't want to leak technical data etc. Still, it's wise to open website, load it with correct keywords in metadata, headings etc, build links and optimize everything earlier. Some launches do it wisely by opening so-called teaser website. One example is Dell Adamo notebook micro-site. Technical data, final product images etc can be added later.</div><div><b>In the nutshell</b></div><div><ul><li>Plan micro-site development in par with product launc</li><li>Microsite should be up and running at least 14 days before launch date</li><li>Use relevant keywords</li><li>Monitor progress with Google Webmaster Tools</li></ul></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464843091326487618noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475811079610497173.post-84867805751284317922009-12-13T09:21:00.003+02:002009-12-13T09:41:02.357+02:00Lost site syndrom in Google<b>FYI, Googel can loose your site from it's index </b><div>Happened to me this week. Usually, when your site is gone, better to be afraid of Google penaly due to using wrong techniques, like illegal link-building, hidden text, meta-data spamming etc. It's possible to check the reason out from <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools">Google Webmaster Tools</a> page (first, you have to authorize the site monitored). <div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Our Case</b></div><div>We made micro-site for a book, supporting traditional marketing channels. As usually, we did pay lot of attention to SEO-friendly design. Used WordPress engine, All-in-One SEO and Google integration plugins among others.</div><div>Google picked up our site in one week. Yes, it's painful time, but it's always slow, Can be up to 4 weeks, people talk in the net. Google indexed first pages, found keywords and Google search statistics started to build up. And then -- bah! No results anymore, nothing. Google entirely forgot about our site.</div><div>Like always, you start to blame yourself. Did I use correct skin? There are hidden links sometimes in "bad" skins. As our skin was downloaded from Wordpress official site, it was OK. No hidden text etc hound from the code. Secondly, did We liknk to "bad" websites. No, we didn't. May-be some of our comments has bad link, no, checked. Some AdWord campaigns unpaid, overdue to Google? Checked, negative! We also checked html quality, missing pages and other such thing. Everything seemed to be OK.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Solution</b></div><div>No solution, Our site just re-appeared in 2-3 days slowly back to search results, like newly discovered site. No correct explanation found. It's good now.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Recommendations</b></div><div>It's always good to keep regularly. at least weekly, eye on your site Google-performance. Ask site:www.yoursite.com , check keyword positions etc. Otherwise can happen, whes one of our site was down 2 weeks cause of black-hat SEO used in the code...<br /><div><br /></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464843091326487618noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475811079610497173.post-32998932412574553112009-12-06T15:50:00.002+02:002009-12-06T16:11:26.553+02:00Why is my website not in Google search results?Why is my website not in Google search results? Missing in search results! Because it's not indexed. There are few main reasons for that:<div><br /></div><div>1. Your site is too young. It takes 2-4 weeks to index the site by Google. <a href="http://m.www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo </a>and <a href="http://www.bing.com/">Bing</a> (Microsoft search) are faster. I encourage to add your site at least to <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en">Webmaster Tools</a> and describe sitemap, it makes easier to understand the site by Google robots. Additionally you may add the site to <a href="https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/">Yahoo Site Explorer</a> and <a href="http://www.bing.com/webmaster">Bing Webmaster Center</a>. These tools allow to see problems on the site and get optimum indexation.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. One common mistake is that "robots.txt" file (in the website root directory) disallows robots to crawl the site. It's usual, that during the site development webmaster disallows access by robots not to index site in the middle of progress. I've seen cases when "disallow" flag is mistakenly forgotten in robots.txt file and site is not indexable at all.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Blog or WordPress engine? Check if your site is checked as publicly viewable, viewed by search engines, etc. It's in dasboard / privacy section in WordPress, just one example.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Your site is baned by Google. Links to the sites with bad reputation, link farm, link trading etc? One common reason is that website developers try to hide links of their own interest into your site. When Google finds hidden links, it bans whole domain. Register your website in Webmaster Tools and it tells You right away, is the site banned or not.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Other techniques used on the site, not allowed by Google? Read <a href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769">Google webmaster guidelines</a> and bear in mind, thet Google is always one step ahead. There is no fooling in order to get extra link juice etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>And remember, not indexed by Google = not existing at all</div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464843091326487618noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475811079610497173.post-79722200455883084112009-12-05T12:10:00.004+02:002009-12-05T13:44:23.534+02:00Using WordPress engine, few tips<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It's very easy and frequent approach to download WordPress engine to your domain, pick nice template and start filling newly made website with content.

On 2005 Google invented rel="nofollow" attribute. It blocks link juice transfer to linked site and changes visually functional link to no-value link in the eyes of search engines. In practice it means that Your link, provided in blog comment, doesn't count as backlink and doesn't pass any link juice.</div><div><br /></div><div>Recognizing "nofollow" sites</div><div><br /></div><div>How to recognise weather the link is "no-rmal" or "no-follow". Problem (or actually its not a problem, but blessing) is thas some blogs, forums and article site use "nofollow" as default and others are not using this blocking measure. Easyest way is to open comment page and view source html. If You find one of following links:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A.

As we know, blogs are one way to get free backlinks. My tip is about the blogs, what have at least 4 fields: Name, website, e-mail adress and comment. In these cases Your name will be linkable to website provided. My tip is:<div>Instead of Your name, use Name + relevant keyword</div><div><br /></div><div>For example:</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Name</span>: Jack SEO consultant</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Website</span>: <a href="http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/">http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/</a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">E-mail</span>: jaak_ennuste@hotmail.com</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Comment</span>: Asdf asdf asdf ...</div><div><br /></div><div>So, in the comments Name field is anchor-text linked to promoted website. When search engines find SEO and consulting in the anchor text, they may think that Your SEO blog (promoted website) has valued SEO content.</div><div><br /></div><div>Always use value-added comment with Your original view, giving new information to readers. In most cases its usless to spam website into comment text, as its not linkable. Even, if its linkable, it's still only URL, what is not highly valued by search engines. Only in very few blogs comments may contain links with anchor.</div><div><br /></div><div>Example:</div><div><br /></div><div>Please notice, that this blog uses nofolliw argument and my ancor text actually doesnt work, despite of nice anchor-text link created.</div><div><br /></div><div>Blog: <a href="http://www.dilipshaw.com/blog-marketing/how-to-create-a-blog/#comments">http://www.dilipshaw.com/blog-marketing/how-to-create-a-blog/#comments</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Comment box:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5-yczTfLSkfGGNiw31KfjHYFx5maGWcs1c8Qb2E7nlS1Fc3fZ6vkd7lamn1x7o_zHxPfMlfAryR015bh79k9GPjlAbwItmNCpGurvVE-xUw2FX2p7NI0EGKXKhsT3JsWoHfFyFCeTH8i2/s400/Capture.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258962637434465826" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Page source:</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:-webkit-monospace;font-size:13px;"><span class="webkit-html-tag"><div><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">c</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">lass</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">="</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">gcomment</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"></span><span class="webkit-html-tag"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><cite></cite></span></span><span class="webkit-html-tag"><a><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">href</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">='</span></a><a href="http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/">http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">' </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">rel</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">external nofollow</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">'>Jack SEO consultant</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Says:</span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div></span></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464843091326487618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475811079610497173.post-67405464150793524662008-10-16T18:36:00.004+03:002008-10-16T18:47:44.794+03:00Fast, faster and fastest<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrc26G3rwXDwMdYSbfnX5H0g9yqBFukzuuT8ctB6V8WUfUDJDmtK86-7RsQ6lhFbRGtzbITOBpulupWVmSq398F_YM0Nft1NbqvbkSBde4JZMicCLCgX3Z1X6qdhayF4TPfsN20_tZFRjc/s1600-h/Capture.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrc26G3rwXDwMdYSbfnX5H0g9yqBFukzuuT8ctB6V8WUfUDJDmtK86-7RsQ6lhFbRGtzbITOBpulupWVmSq398F_YM0Nft1NbqvbkSBde4JZMicCLCgX3Z1X6qdhayF4TPfsN20_tZFRjc/s400/Capture.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257778375655045538" /></a><br /><div><br /></div>When I started blogging less than a month ago, I also set up SEO measurement table.

Then, on the eight day Yahoo indexed first backlink and some pages. Day later MSN found backlink. At last, 19 days after setting up this site, Google indexed first backlink. During that time, Yahoo and MSN had indexed already 200+ and 400+ backlinks.</div><div><br /></div><div>This test shows once again, that Google is extreamly picky about backlinks. Mostly my URL is in social networks, blog profiles etc. Practically no fixed anchor-text links on proper pages.

Google's share in web searching is raising slowly, Yahoo is losing share (was 20%, now 12-13% or so), Microsoft has really tough uphill battle with 5% or so. But, actually Live search is sneaking in from the back door. Live signed contract with Blackberry to provide mobile search. We know, that its default search engine in Mobile Windows smartphones. Microsoft is expecting to grow search traffic, coming from handsets.

Without links, nobody will find Your web page, your services, goods and yourself. First, nobody is directed to Your pages, secondly no search engine will think You are reputable enough to get any attention. You'r missing in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_results_page">SERP</a>-s. <div><br /></div><div>Not every link is good, valuable desireable. Links to Your web-page show's that somebody likes or needs Your page for some reason. More links, driven by genuine interest, more internet currency You have.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">how to build high-quality links?</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">1. External links</span></div><div>Link has to come from other website, from the different domain. Internal links are not treated as so valuable as external links. You may inter-connect all Your website pages in numerous ways, it doesn't generate extra value.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">2. Links having anchor-text</span></div><div>It's much better then someone links Your web-page using anchor-text, than just putting You URL on the page. <a href="http://shop.it.ee/">Best Ice-Cream in the world</a> link tells something about Your web page and is considered to be neutral or objectice opinion (if this is external link). Clever search engines compare words in the anchor-text with the content on Your page (title, description, keywords, headings and body text) and evaluate, is this relevant link or not. Thats why the <a href="http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/search/label/Metadata">meta-data quality</a> is so important.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">3. Links from high-ranked pages</span></div><div>This is obvious, that higher-ranked pages have more right to say, who else should be valued and promoted in WEB-world. Google is very critical about linking pages and ignoring low PR pages at all. Very good tools to determine donor site quality are <a href="http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/2008/10/seomoz-linkscape-or-google-pagerank.html">SEOmoz Linkscape</a> and<a href="http://seoapplied.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-measure-page-rank-pr.html"> Google PR</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">4. No link spam</span></div><div>Links from blogs, forums, social networking profiles, comments etc are low-quality links. Often treated as link spam, often equipped with "nofollow" attribute and not counted at all. Genuine links from high-quality content pages are taken much more seriously. Link farms, link directories, having thousands outbound links are not passing almost any value at all.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">5. Avoid "nofollow" linking</span></div><div>Few years ago (probably on 2005), Google started initiative, there links with "nofollow" attribute will not pass on any value or rank. Many blog environments and forums started to use default "nofollow" linking in comments and posts to avoid link spam. So, be sure, if You are setting up links, that no "nofollow" attribute is used.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464843091326487618noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475811079610497173.post-48818362063725533362008-10-07T15:10:00.004+03:002008-10-07T17:05:51.402+03:00SEOmoz Linkscape or Google PageRank?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfq76a1wURoHhekjU1aHW2sNJjEamFbLukLYmvZ_9NqlyZ5RUGReMIm-pYYktoH68a0XPsef2KiWdkRwMDxSJ_06WPeXoHjmpPuVmcKwIyYELpVvVAtL7MuNymlsXsvnIllTqtnttLphIV/s1600-h/Capture.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254385573255675010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfq76a1wURoHhekjU1aHW2sNJjEamFbLukLYmvZ_9NqlyZ5RUGReMIm-pYYktoH68a0XPsef2KiWdkRwMDxSJ_06WPeXoHjmpPuVmcKwIyYELpVvVAtL7MuNymlsXsvnIllTqtnttLphIV/s320/Capture.JPG" /></a><br /><div>SEOmoz introduces their new metrix -- <a href="http://www.seomoz.org/linkscape/">Linkscape MOZrank</a>.

So, good to record for own knowledge and keep eye on the trend, but thats ptetty much all the joy.</span></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464843091326487618noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475811079610497173.post-60081403668042416412008-10-02T09:35:00.009+03:002008-10-02T16:31:43.512+03:00How to measure correctly backlinks in Yahoo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyA1YQkBxyyAIvSFxyidkZk5JAELt52sip3AJunjPNniQQCGYLWo48QZtJGyCd-ab4b7Q3gwzngxXUMa4CcAxL-TLdNDKCx-jJNQ0g6QFGcKrmztaO7_O4ZkmAXsKlufuPmlKyDOHNbwEr/s1600-h/yahoo_logo.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyA1YQkBxyyAIvSFxyidkZk5JAELt52sip3AJunjPNniQQCGYLWo48QZtJGyCd-ab4b7Q3gwzngxXUMa4CcAxL-TLdNDKCx-jJNQ0g6QFGcKrmztaO7_O4ZkmAXsKlufuPmlKyDOHNbwEr/s320/yahoo_logo.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252444014523949378" /></a><br /><div>Measuring correct backlink number in Yahoo (YBL) is not as simple as it looks like at first glance. Many sites providing YBL numbers are showing different numbers. What is the right method? I never use Baclink tools or dedicated web-pages. I rely only on rearch engines readings.

Still, the content is the king. Metadata is part of the content. Very ofter metadata fields are empty and not optimized at all. <div><br /></div><div>SEO-relevant metadata fields<br /><div><ul><li>Title<br /></li><li>Descriprion<br /></li><li>Keywords<br /></li><li>Headings (H1, H2 ...)<br /></li></ul></div><div>Metadata is describe in HTML code in the beginning of each web page. Usually it's filled by web page designer, but they do nothing, until told exactly what to put there. If You write web pages using WYSIWYG editors, You also might not find these fields, but they are there in page properties etc.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Title</span></div><div>Title data is shown on web browser title bar and in search engine results. Its good to have few relevant keywords in the title. As title is short, don't use over 60 characters, be focused. Title is very inportant meta element from SEO prospective.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Description </span></div><div>Description is max 200 characters long abstract descriprion of the page/website and is shown in SERPS right after the title. Description should correlate strongly with Title, Headings and page content.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Keywords</span></div><div>Keywords are not so important, as people tend to think, Still, add some 5-20 keywords or phrases, not more. Some sources say, that overall keyword's size can't exceed 800 bytes. Using too much keywords seems like keyword stuffing and Google does not like it. Good trick is to add some specific and original, not so universal keywords. Some keywords can be so-called "<span style="FONT-STYLE: italic" class="Apple-style-span">poison words</span>", You may check them using metadata tools below.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Headings</span></div><div>Every page may have many H1 - H3 headings. It's important, that headings contain relevant information, containing keywords and professional words from pafe content.</div><div><br /></div><div>Google advises -- if Your page is well written for human, focused and using good professional language, the is no need to look further. It's kind of true, but still, check meta-tags.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is 2 ways to check meta tags:</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Easy </span>- use web tool like:</div><div><a href="http://www.websitegrader.com/">Websitegrader.com </a><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.freewebsubmission.com/web-page-analyzer.html">Freewebsubmission Analyze tool</a></div><div><a href="http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html">SEO Centro analyzer</a></div><div><a href="http://www.scrubtheweb.com/cgi-bin/webtools/meta-check.cgi">Scrub The Web</a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Complex</span><br /></div><div>Look Your web page HTML source.
