Keywords, what is more important search engines

Which is more important for search engines: keywords in meta
tags, words in
title pages, words in alt tags, text on page.
I thought I had read that keywords in meta tags was being
deprecated but I
could be wrong.

That's ImageGalleryMagic from the wizards at PVII.

Advice Needed - What's more important: Number of cores, RAM, Processor? Comparing similarly priced Macbook Pro's from 2012 - 2013

What is more important? Cores, RAM, Processors etc?
There are several models available right now on the apple store that are similarly priced but offer different specs.
I'm looking to purchase a secondary Mac for making music (house/techno in Logic) on the move and to be able to carry out basic work tasks.
The models at similar prices available are:
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel i7
Originally released June 2012
13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1280-by-800 resolution
8GB (2 x 4GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
750GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Intel HD Graphics 400
Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel i7
Originally released June 2012
    15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1440-by-900 resolution 
    4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
    500GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
    8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory
Macbook Pro 13-inch: 2.4GHz with Retina display Dual-core Intel i5
2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2
Which should I go for? Is retina all together a better machine and a good enough update, or should i go for a 2012 model which is almost maxed out like 15.4?
Any advice and experience of these machines is appreciated.
Thanks,
kkd_ldn

kkd_ldn,
because the RAM in the Retina models is non-upgradeable, I’d say that RAM is most important on the Retina models.
All of the models above will perform basic work tasks well; I haven’t tried making music on my Mac, so I don’t know what the bottleneck there might be. If it’s CPU-intensive, then the 15-inch quad-core model might be the best choice, despite its slower CPU speed. You can upgrade the RAM on the non-Retina models if RAM turns out to be a bottleneck.

Can't submit keywords to GoDaddy's new Search Engine Vis. Service

So, I bought (for $3.00 per month) GoDaddy's SearchEngineVisibility service. It allowed me to make and submit a SiteMap, something GoDaddy would not let me do with the Rage software I bought. So far so good - but GoDaddy shows you a 10 point checklist of how you are doing. It says I have not submitted keywords. I tried typing in keywords on the GoDaddy interface. That did not work. I called GoDAddy. They said the keywords must be defined, outlined, selected - whatever in the program that built the website. I said iWeb but I did not find any function in iWeb that would let me choose keywords. They said iWeb can't do that. Said iWeb is not for business use. It is more for people who want to share photos with grandma and such.
So, how do I submit my keywords to GoDaddy? I would have thought that once I put up the Sitemap that Google/Bing, etc. would be able to crawl the site and automatically select keywords.
Someone said I need to just grab the HTML code from my iWeb site, buy Dreamweaver and paste the HTML code there and then Dreamweaver would allow me to define keywords and submit them.
Any ideas?

After creating the sitemap.xml, Sitemap Automator uploads it to the root folder on the server - if you enter the correct info!
Before it can add it to Google, Yahoo, Bing and ASK.com, you have to notify each one of your site's existence and, in the case of Google, Yahoo and Bing, open accounts with them. Google and Yahoo require an HTML file and Bing an XML one.
There is no screen in iWeb. You decide what keywords that people will use to search for any page of your site and use them in the text of that page. The search engines will find them. SEKeyword is just a tool to help you find relevant keywords and your Google Dashboard will give you a list of the ones they find relevant once they have indexed your site.
The steps required to submit your website to search engines are listed HERE.

Adding keywords and phrases for high search engine hits

I'm new to iWeb and most things seem to be working. I have one question and one problem, hopefully you guys can help out.
Question: how do I add html code that is not visible on the page but that will help Google and other search engines find my page using keywords, phrases, etc.? Please assume I know very little about this and need the holding hand explanation.
Problem: I have a media file portion on my website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
Thanks!!

You don't need to do post publication manual editing of your site to add keywords and other metadata. You can use the freeiWeb SEO Tool. If you're publishing to MobileMe you can add them after publication. If you're publishing to a commercial hosting server you'll need to publish to a folder on the desktop, run SEO and then use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload your site.
If you have to republish SEO remembers what you added and can quickly add them again before uploading.

More on search engines

I don't know if this has been passed around much, but I just
heard about it today:
-Go to Google and type in "failure"
-click "i'm feeling lucky"
i won't spoil the surprise. but once you see what comes up,
answer me this:
i've been asking a lot about how google and search engines
work, and i have a better idea than i used to. but this page does
not (at least nowhere i could find) contain the word "failure"
ANYWHERE. so how did they get it to come up first in the search?
It must be an inside conspiracy!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb
also called 'link bombing' or blog bombing
the reason that page is ranked high for the word 'failure' is
that the page
is linked TO using the text failure from a couple thousand
blogs.

How to import search engines from Opera automatically?

I already asked this question here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2178107. Basically, I want to import all custom search engines that Opera browser saves in "search.ini" file to FF. I got used to them. Is that possible?

I just took a look at the search.ini file in my Opera 11.00 installation, Firefox has no way to process that information. Firefox uses Open Search & Sherlock search plugins, that are in the XML format. It looks like Opera has its' own format for search "plugins", rather than using "standard" plugins that most other browsers use.
You can create your own Open Search Plugins from the data contained in that search.ini file using the instructions here. <br />
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox
Or you can install similar Search Plugins from this site. IMO, the search engine on this website works quite well, to sort through the tens of thousands of search plugins available.<br />

What happened to the search engine drop down menu

Hello,
I am using Firefox 32.0.3. There used to be a drop down search engine menu on Firefox. Has it been removed from the latest version or is there some settings adjustment I can make to get it back? Thanks for any feedback.

Hi brianvt, if you find the new design less productive, it is possible to switch back to the old search bar. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''search''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' preference to switch it from true to false
This doesn't affect the current window, but each new window you open (Ctrl+n) will have the old Search bar.

What happened to default search engine

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.

Search engine hijacked by Yahoo in Safari Mountain Lion?

I installed Mountain Lion these past days and since then, my Safari browser is hijacked by Yahoo, although I did set Google as my default search engine, and even changed DNS to google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). I am at a loss - what is happening? Help?

In Preferences>General what is your default Search Engine?

Why do I get the google search engine? Whole point was to get rid of google due to security issues.

Due to the change in Google privacy I wanted a more secure search engine. Firefox was suggested. Downloaded it, but when I click on the Firefox button, it brings up Google (along with the privacy changes alert). Is Firefox really protecting me? I assumed Firefox was an independent search engine.
Yes, I have set up the "do not track me" security in Firefox.

Why do all the "about:config" stuff when the Firefox help page tells us to click on the symbol in the left corner of the search box and pick another search engine. If the one you want isn't there, click "manage search engines" and you can add one.

What do I do so that search engines find me easier?

Hello,
I was told by a friend that I could put a list of words relating to my business into my website somehow so that search engines would find me easier when they are typed in to the search bar but I dont know how to go about it.
Ive had my website for 6 months and still 'google for instance' cant find me unless i use only my title "Crafty Balloons" and even that only showed results in the last 2 weeks.
I would like to be found using search words like "balloon twisting" "balloons" "entertainment" "party planning" etc...
also I would like my images to show up when people type "balloon dragon" etc into a search engine can this be done too?
please help
ps I love this support site. you guys are the greatest

Actually you need to do a bit more tweaking than has been discussed.
First you need to add meta description tags in the <head> section of each of your pages. Write a brief to the point description of what services you are offering such as:
Balloon twisting in Mandurah, WA. We provide all kinds of balloons for all kinds of balloon ocassions, birthday party balloons, festive, fete and corporate function balloons, store, promotion and wedding balloons.
Next you need to get some of the important keywords into correctly marked up html on your page.
<h> tags will be seen as more important by the Google spider so you should try and somehow incorporate the important keywords into those tags.
On your home page you have the following inside a <h2> tag which is good
Birthday Parties
Festivals and Fetes
Corporate Functions
Store Promotions
Weddings and Gifts
but youre not providing any of the above youre providing balloons for those ocassions. So you should re-write something like below:
<h1>Welcome to Crafty Balloons based in Mandurah, WA</h1>
<h2>We provide all kinds of balloons and balloon twisting for birthday parties, festivals, fetes, corporate functions, store promotions and weddings.</h2>
Then you can add the two paragraphs that already exist.
Also your keyword list should have a comma between each entry - balloons, balloon, crafts, party, parties, etc
If you make those changes to each page and wait a few days before typing into Google - balloon twisting in Mandurah Wa or - balloons for corporate functions in Mandurah then you have a good chance of being listed.
Most people when they search for something such as balloons will search locally first so having your location as a prominant keyword is always a good option.
Try to get listed in as many good FREE dircetories on the web as possible. It has been proven that the more inbound links you have to your site then Google finds it more 'interesting' and will elevate you up the rankings.

RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
IT DOESN'T WORK
I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

Hi Kvoter,
What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
*''' it should be able to do that'''
* my firefox does that
I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
* the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
*the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.
John
