IWeb search engine optimization

I have created a prototype for a large, robust e-commerce site (using links to affiliates such as Amazon.com)and have asked several third parties for bids on site content enrichment/search engine optimization.
Has anyone had experience in this area? Can I give them remote access to my iweb template so they can make changes or can they do that directly on my public site? I'm told that iweb does not accommodate meta tags, alt tags, etc. so that there are limits to site optimization. I'm also told I need a site map (I've tried using sitemapxml but its free service is limited to 500 pages and I have more than that) I'm very comfortable using iweb but have been told that I should migrate to RapidWeaver (which I just bought) and have it hosted on GoDaddy. Again, has anyone had experience along these lines?

The best place to look for the stuff you need is Rage Software.....
Their Sitemap Automator is fast and easy.
Add tags with the freeware SEO Tool.
Have a look at SERank. I haven't tried this yet as I get found in search engines too easily!
Rage also have an easy to use optimizer but you will find a faster, more efficient one here....

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Lightroom

I have a client using Lightroom to post photo galleries and he is concerned about Search Engine Optimization. I'm not a Lightroom user but need to know if there is a way to set page titles and photo alt tags from Lightroom rather than after the fact. I'm afraid if I hard code this into the website that it will be overwritten when I goes to resave the pages or upload new images.

Hi,
that's really a great topic and guess its not a problem of
Flash being index to some search engines because google claims to
be able to read txt message into flash file but if you create a new
website you'll make acquaintance with the google 'sandbox' or
'trust box' effect. So, I guess the only way to get some higher
ranking is your website(domain) shoulda be at least older than 5
years and get enough quality backlinks....maybe more than 15.000
:-). Take some time and check out some flash websites on pull
position www.seitwert.de. Nearly some of them got really almost no
content but glare pretty nice at google.
Hopefully this topic goes further ...
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention it...be added to
dmoz.org can be also helpful.

Search Engine Optimizer

HI,
Can anybody guide me what is SEO and also steps involved in implementing this search engine optimizer.
Thanks

SEO is the acronym that stands for Search Engine Optimization. Search engine optimization, is the strategy and process of increasing the amount of visitors to a site by making structural changes to the site and the content in it that result in the site ranking high in search engine results.
The higher a site ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that that site will be visited by a user who has been using a search engine to locate material of interest to them.

Search Engine Optimization - SEO

I am very biased creating an all flash site, as opposed to
using html or aspx etc. But as we all know, the search engine
spiders can't tap into swfs. Does anyone know how to optimize an
all flash site,
other than using meta tags in the html? I have searched many
places, but unable to find a legitimate answer (if one exists).
Thanks,

Iweb Search Engine

I am making a website for my business and i have many different products that one could search by name. Is there anyway i could put a search engine on my iweb '08?

I should have mentioned that, for this to work, your pages have to be able to be "found" in Google.

Search Engine Optimization

Hi:
So I have completed my client's website,
http://www.deanbrittinghamphotography.com...
The pages are validated and clean.
Everything is titled.
Images have ALT tags
Meta keywords and descriptions are in place
I have submitted the URL to Google, Yahoo and several other
search engines.
Have I missed any other "free" options that will improve the
chance of being indexed in the popular search engines? Thanks for
your help!

Very nice. The only thing I can think of is to get incoming
links -
from your portfolio site, chamber of commerce, professional
associations, ... Get them from anybody with a relevant page,
and ask
them to use good text (<a

Brittingham Photography</a>, not <p>To visit

Search engine optimization in dreamwaever

I'm pretty new to web site building and dreamweaver. I took
over a fitness competition site for a friend. Whenever I do a
google search for the contest nothing shows up. How can I improve
that? It doesn't have to be first, just somewhere in the search.
Thank you

"Whenever I do a google search for the contest nothing shows
up. How can I
improve that?"
The site is almost 100% images and therefore there is nothing
for Google to
index.
In other words, search engines see the site but they don't
see anything in
it because they cannot read or index images.
The first thing to do is change text in images to body text.
That is, text
content where you now have images. As a general rule, if it's
a word, phrase
or paragraph, type it in. Don't make it into an image.
e.g.
http://npcsacshow.com/event%20info.html
is one big JPG image. Ditch the
image and type the text in then format it with CSS. This will
make the page
visible to Search engines.

Search engine optimizations servlet

i am trying to write a servlet which will look at urls and covert the & and ? characters into other characters, like "/" and ","
this is because search engines dont like to crawl pages with ? in the url.
using servlets i know i can translate a url which has been seo optimized to be the "real thing" but is there any way to do the opposite? encode urls to be seo optimized without going in an manually changing the hrefs in the jsps?

A Servlet Filter sounds like what you need here. Encoding the URL on the response.

How can I improve the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) of my website?

Hello,
I have pushed my website live and am currently looking at my basic website reviews from "Woorank". There are a lot of areas that I can inprove for SEO and they seem simple enough to take care of. However many suggestions they give require direct input into HTML...and, well, I chose Muse so I didn't have to deal with that jazz. So, the following is a list of items that I am looking to improve on my website and I am looking for the "how to" in Adobe Muse. I have located and read through Adobe's "strategies for SEO" at http://www.adobekb.com/strategies_for_seo.html#addingtitles but i still have unanswered questions.
robots.txt
I know Muse creates a "XML sitemap", which I do not quite understand...because I am only familiar with the sitemap links that are typically at the footer of a website and serve as a directory - but it would be nice to prevent crawlers from accessing specific directories and pages and specify where the sitemap file is located. What exactly Muse doing with my website's "sitemap"? Is this sitemap accessible to people viewing my website or just crawlers?
Headings
My website currently does not use html headings (<H1> to <H6>) I would like to use keywords in the headings. In the "page properties"dialog box, under metadata, it has a "HTML for <head>" box. How do I input words in this? use the HTML such as: <H1>Green Roofs</H1><H2>Landscape Architecture</H2>? separate by comma? Just type in words with a space inbetween?
Alternative Text for images
I have found that only some of the images in my website have the option for adding alternative text. I right click on a photo and I get a "Edit Image Properties..." Option to add alt. text. But some images do not have this option. Why? I hover over an image and keep the arrow pointer (mouse) still and it will display a "tool tip" such as "Hero Frame", "image Frame", "thumbnail", "target", or "trigger". It seems that only on "image frame", "hero image", and "trigger" will right click and display the option for "Edit Image Properties...". Whats going on here?
Blog
I have an active blog that I have as a menu item and when you go to that page on my site, I just have a link that goes to the externally hosted blog. Is there a way to eliminate a click by actually having the user directed to the external blog site when clicking the "Blog" menu tab? I understand that a particular level in Business Catalyst has a Blog engine option.
A lot of these are pretty nit-picky, but I would appreciate any insight given. Thanks,

More info on sitemap.xml:
http://www.adobekb.com/strategies_for_seo.html#understandingsitemap
Note that you can also exclude a page from your sitemap.xml to prevent crawlers from crawling it. Usually you don't want to do this, but if you have a good reason to the setting for that is in the page properties dialog.
You can assign heading tags using paragraph styles. More info here:
http://www.adobekb.com/strategies_for_seo.html#usingparagraph
I'm able to set alt text on thumbnail images. Are you sure you have the thumbnail image selected?
You can create a placeholder page in your plan view, then mark the page menu options as 'include page without hyperlink'. Then your menu will contain an entry for this page, but no hyperlink. If you select the menu item, you can assign a hyperlink with the hyperlink control in the control strip.

Iweb site, listing in search engine looks bizarre??

How do I change what appears in the search listing, I get this below:(
Welcome2
Welcome | Bridal | Bridesmaid | Communion | Accessories shapeimage1_link0 shapeimage1_link1 shapeimage1_link2 shapeimage1_link3 shapeimage1_link4 ...
www.boutiquebrides.com/ - Cached - Similar
It appears to be picking up info from my menu... Why is this?
thanks

Roddy is right. You are not giving the search engines enough content to display in the search results. This can be fixed by a better title tag, as well as adding a decent description.
To do this, download iWeb SEO Tool, as Roddy has mentioned. http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html
Here is a video which shows you how to use this application. http://apptorial.com/how-to-use-rage-softwares-iweb-seo-tool/
I would also recommend the iWeb SEO Video walkthrough which will teach you everything you need to know about your site and search engine optimization.

Free iWeb SEO Tool to Help Improve Search Engine Rankings

Hi,
I have just posted a free iWeb SEO Tool that will let you add and edit all your meta tags and header information, as well as a few other important search engine optimization factors. Here is a brief description of what it can do;
iWeb SEO Tool is the only software that makes it easy to get your iWeb built website ready for search engines.
Since Apple has often neglected key SEO strategies in their iWeb software, it is difficult for many iWeb based websites to rank high in search engines. This is why we have created this free utility to help you properly optimize your website.
Features include;
1) Easily add meta tags such as description and keywords
2) Edit your title tags for each pages
3) Add robot rules and language meta tags
4) Add alternative text for images
5) All settings are saved in a private database so next time you publish your site you can take all the saved SEO copy and apply to your new site
6) Edit sites locally or directly on your iDisk
I am looking for feedback on this tool to see how useful it can be. If you find any problems, please let me know. You can download this tool by creating a free beta testers account at;
http://www.trybeta.com/home/
Please let me know if this is useful for anyone. It is completely free for all iWeb users.
*I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link*
<Edited by Moderator>

1. To publish to .Mac just mount your iDisk and go to Web/Sites/ and you will see your old site there. Delete that site and just copy your new site to the location.
2. Just press the load from iDisk button in the toolbar and enter your username and password. Your sites from your iDisk will load in iWeb SEO Tool.

How to make my site top in the search engines for a high ranking?

I am new at this, and I am planning to build a big site on iweb, but my question is where can I get information on how to make my site with high rankings? Would I have to post my site in lots of search engines, or have the hosting company help out? how do i do this?

As SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is important to you, you may want to consider alternatives to iWeb as "iWeb websites are not made to be search engine friendly" — read more here:
SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines
...iWeb is designed for personal sites and, as such, Apple apparently thinks there's no need for Google — you tell grandma the URL of your personal iWeb site, she painstakingly types it in and then gazes admiringly at the photos of her grandchildren.
Apple hasn't changed this approach in three iterations of iWeb but perhaps, with all the feedback it receives on this issue, there's still hope. Meanwhile, web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate search engine optimization — Sandvox Pro is an example:
http://www.karelia.com/sandvox/getyour_site_noticed_andb.html
Another advantage of Sandvox is that, when viewing your site in Safari, the text increase & decrease commands will work — they don't work for an iWeb-created site. ...For business use, it's important that customers don't turn away from your site because they consider your text too small to read.
However, if you still really want to use iWeb, this article may help:
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/SEO.html
By the way, for more info about SEO in general, this blog of a web-design app (Yola) recently started a multi-part series on the subject — the first is here:

Delorie Search Engine Simulator returns redirect

Hi all,
Please can I just say a big thanks to all who continue to answer my frightfully ignorant questions. I have never yet failed to resolve a problem with the help of these forums and am eternally grateful.
Now the problem...
When I use the delorie search engine simulator to view my website (www.danavideoproductions.co.uk), it says that the web server returns a redirect, and I imagine this will not be helping our rankings much.
I have asked my web hoster about this and they say it is because my links are incorrect, however iweb has generated all my links and in my ignorance when I use the view source function I cannot find where the problem is.
Any and all help gratefully received!

First, just a tip: Rather than posting your URL like this:
www.danavideoproductions.co.uk
...make it clickable by posting it like this:
http://www.danavideoproductions.co.uk

...it is because my links are incorrect, however iweb has generated all my links...
In this article: _SEO (Search Engine Optimization) For iWeb_, it says:
"One of the biggest problems with iWeb is the way it creates your navigation bars. Instead of using standard HTML which search engines can use to correctly find all files on your website, it uses Javascript which makes it extremely hard for search engines to scan and index your website properly."
