I use Brinkster for a free 3 pg site,that has a web builder.If your type business isn’t on their list of choices they don’t have specific product meta tags that they install FOR you which is what the SEO factors are comprised of.I can do "limited" things by proving keywords.Are there any ways to get people/customers besides the obvious.Bloging it and url submissions ?

I had submitted a website with key words in Meta Tags. I also submitted the website to different search engines with the website description and keywords. I only see the website in a couple of Directory Listings with no website link. Such as the Yellow Page Directory Listing. Please could someone help me with this problem? Thank you.

I am currently redesigning a website which is getting a full revamp. My question is, when I redesign pages and change the names of subdomains will it effect how the site ranks on search engines? I will be keeping the meta tags the same but could also possibly be changing the webhost. Any help and information anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a site that I am building, and I am not sure if I have the correct meta-tags, I don’t know what backdoor links (not sure if the wording is correct here) are. And I want to have a top placement in the search engines. The site isn’t published yet. can someone check it even though it isn’t published to see what I can do to improve it? We have to finalize our insurance prior to launching.

The facts are in from unbiased, 3rd party research groups and the majority of searches on the web are done via Google. I have had great success with search engine traffic due to free information from Overture’s Keyword Search Tool. Of course there are many searches done on Google that are also done on Yahoo. For instance: If "widget" had 1,738 searches through Yahoo; Google on the other hand might have had 8,867 searches for "widget". In this case, "widget" goes from being of medium importance to maybe being the central focus of SEO for my site.

All internet entrepreneurs, like my self, that practice effective SEO, could really, seriously use a tool like Overture for Google. If anyone knows of a free tool like this PLEASE let me know.

The problem I have with alot of the software out there is that it simply pulls keywords from related site’s meta tags. I mean c’mon I can do that myself!

How do I get traffic or even search engine results to show up for a local website that no one even knows about right now? I attempted putting http://www.fitnessthatpays.com/ into google and yahoo and they said wait several weeks… should my meta keywords be the same on every page or should they be unique to each page?

If you have all the right content, links, keywords, alt tags, and meta information; how important is the general structure/appearance of the html/xhtml/css code as it pertains to placement in search engines?

I read and have read so many articles online that my head is always spinning and there is so much junk info out there from "spam" style web promoters. linking, articles, meta tags…
I look at all my competitors and many of them have sloppier HTML or clearly worse approaches but they rate at #1,2,3.. i can’t even hit the top 50 for fly fishing flies on MSN!
I am trying to figure this out before loading my eshop up. I don’t want to get everything listed then have to re do the entire site.

I’ve got a couple of really helpful websites. I’ve submitted my site to every search engine that I know of. I’ve done the keywords and phrases and have my meta tags done. Still I’ll search for my site and it doesn’t rank very high…
Is there a way to get my websites higher in the rankings with out spending a billion dollars?
Thanks for any help.

say there’s this website that’s very popular, called stealmytraffic.net now if i created a site called steal-my-traffic.net and heavily push the SEO with title tags/metatags etc. and create tons of backlinks for the site on other sites, with a great sitemap feed. will it steal the place from stealmytraffic.net when people search "steal my traffic" on google and yahoo?
also, stealmytraffic.net is not that SEO itself, it only gets ranked top being the domain name is the same as keywords.

i figure google see keyword-keyword same as without hyphen, so as long as i have created a strong backlinks and strong meta title tags with h1, h2, h3 title tags all related to steal my traffic, it should rank top right?
