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,
GAMBRKER

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 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.

  • 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 Optimizer

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

    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 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.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    ...or will the meta tags (description, keywords, etc.) placed in
    the index.html file be sufficient to gain substantial rank?
    I would say that depends on your Market and your choice of
    Keywords. If your market is saturated then it's gonna be a tough
    one. If you know the Keywords people use to Search for products in
    your Market... I would say that's as good as it can/will get.
    You can always Submit your site to the Search Engines in
    hopes of being ranked high.
    If it seems worth it... you can always go the Pay per Click
    route.

  • Robohelp and Search engines

    Hi all,
    We have been using robohelp x5 for a while now and have up
    until now published the project as HTML with skin onto our website.
    In previous years I've then pointed my sitemap to each page in turn
    (to improved google rating), and then added java script to
    re-launch the page in the correct frame, i.e. with the index
    /search on the left and the header on the top.
    I noticed that there are a number of other variants to
    publishing in robohelp 7/8. My question is:
    Which type of project is best for up-loading onto a website,
    such that pages are searched by the internet search engines (e.g.
    google / msn), and when found the page is correctly
    displayed....i.e.. not left as an orphan page without its frameset.
    I know I could do exactly the same thing as I've been doing
    for 3 years....but I would like to know if theres a "better way" :)
    Thanks in advance
    Philip

    Hi Lyza
    Hopefully John won't mind my offering some tidbits here that may help illustrate the issue.
    Perhaps a small experiment will help here.
    Open Google and search for the phrase: Build tags on the brew and note the top link you see. It should read February 2004.
    Click that link and note what you see.
    Now click the following link: Click here to view
    Look familiar?
    What you should be seeing is a page inside a WebHelp system. Nothing special whatsoever was done to make this happen. In other words, the Search Engines were able to index this page simply because it is available to the web. No SiteMap was created. Nothing special was done.
    Some folks are working under the assumption that because WebHelp and FlashHelp are presented using extensive Framesets, that content cannot be found. This may have been true years ago, but advances in the indexing methods overcame that issue long ago.
    Now Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a whole different animal and there are entire companies and many consultants that profess to assist with SEO and increasing your rankings.
    Cheers... Rick

    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

  • Search Engines, SEO & Spry

    Being somewhat new to the Spry framework, I am curious how
    Spry will work with search engines and SEO.
    I noticed Adobe's Periodic Table Spry example (very cool,
    btw!) at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/periodic_table/periodic_table.htm
    and decided to Google "periodic table spry" for the result. This is
    what appears":
    Spry Periodic Table
    Element Types: {Element_Type}. Periods (rows): {Period}.
    Groups (columns): {Group}. Show All. {No} {Group}. {Symbol}.
    {Atomicweight}. {No} {Group}. {Symbol} ...
    labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/periodic_table/periodic_table.htm
    - 37k -
    Cached - Similar pages - Note this
    It looks as if Google reads the Spry code and not the full
    content of the page, and as such, may not work well with SEO and
    search engine page rank, let alone presenting an unreadable content
    blurb to the search user in the Google result.
    Does anyone have any intimate experience with this topic?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Geronimosan,
    The only way to make sure that your pages are "indexable" by
    search engines is to use the progressive enhancement technique. You

  • Search engine can't find my website

    Hi,
    I have recently published my first website done in Adobe Muse and I have the problem that the search engines don't find my site.
    I have added some keywords into every page of the site, (page properties) but it doesn't help. Is there anything else I should try to do, is there any other ways to go or what is wrong?
    Thankful for your help

    Hi,
    A site appearing on google search result depends on various factors. There is no defined time when the site will be indexed in google. It may take a week or a month as well. You can submit your site to the google's webmasters tool to expedite the process but still no definite time.
    Now ,
    For SEO (from a very simplified view) there are two primary factors that contribute to where your page ranks within Google. The first is how well the content of your page(s) correlate to the specific search phrase someone entered in Google. And the second is how "popular" your site is, measured primarily by how many other sites/sources contain links to your pages relative to the popularity of other sites that had a similar correlation to the search phrase.
    A 60-second course on SEO is:
    1) Pick ~3 search phrases you want to optimize for. Then work to have those phrases and the words in those phrases appear regularly in the content of your pages, paying special attention to .html file names, image file names, headings (marked with h1, h2, etc. tags), page titles, your domain name, image alt text, the text content of the actual pages, etc.
    2) Leverage Twitter, Facebook, Blogs in your industry, etc. to generate interest in your site and thus generate links back to your site.
    3) Submit your sitemap.xml to Google using Google's Webmaster Tools so they're aware of your site and more likely to re-index it sooner rather than later.
    There's tons more to SEO, but that's a start.
