Hi,
I have an e-commerce site selling surfing gear for the past year. I have done some advertising but do not really have search engine placement. My partner wants to advertise, I think its more important to spend our funds on search engine optimization. He also think we can learn to do it ourselves but I disagree. SEO looks like a whole job in itself. Does anyone with experience have any good ideas?
Hi,
I currently run and own a sports related website that consists of sports articles, sports directory and a sports forum. I rank well with MSN, Yahoo and for a few keywords with Google. In fact, my site ranks well with yahoo when searching for sports articles; my site in the top 11.
I’d like to keep my current sports site and design the site more for sports articles and directory, since both are doing well.
That being said, I’d like to open up my own sports cards trading shop. I would sell products in an auction format. Visitors would signup for a weekly newsletter that would inform them of new auctions that have been added.
Should I design this sports auction store as another domain name? It would not hurt my search engine placement, penalize or ban me if I run two sports related websites and link them together?
Again, one of the sports sites I own is just a directory, forums and articles. The other would be my very own sports store in the format of auction style.
There is all this talk that for your site to rank well with google, other websites need to link to yours. How come I see tons of websites
with out a links page that are ranking well? What do they do to get others to link to their website? I would figure most websites would
ONLY link to yours if you link to theirs.
I see tons of webmaster forums online and they all have basically the same content. Yet they have tons of other sites linking to theirs with out them having a links page to exchange links.
Are there other ways to receive good search engine placement?
A few years ago I worked with my father in search engine placement. There was a free online tool that helped us out a lot.
You would basicly type the keyword and hit submit and it would tell you how many times this particular keyword was searched for in the top 10 most popular search engines. Now I have been looking for a couple days and all I seem to find are payed downloads. Not really what I am looking for. This site was free. I just dont remember the name of it anymore. It has been a long time. If you know of such a program that is free and online without downloading please let me know…. Thanks for your help.
Looking for good advice, and possibly website/article links about improving my search engine placement and page ranks. I’ve already got descriptive meta tags on all my pages, descriptive alt tags on my images, clean code, and a good site map with text links to all pages on the site.
Anything more I can do? Anyone have some great tomes of knowledge regarding the subject that they could link to?
They say search engine optimization is the key to higher search engine placement. How do i go about it?
Anyone know of a place that don’t charge too much to get you top search engine placement. The company that use to host my site use to do it for free and it lasted 2 years. Now they charge 0 a month which is a little too much for me.
I have a site that has done great in the search engine results (top 5 most general term in yahoo, 1st page google) that has had no flash, just basic html and good optimization. I want to add some very basic flash nothing too fancy, will this affect my search engine placement? I guess what I am asking is, do search engines look at flash as a negitive in all or some cases?
I recently purchased a domain from GoDaddy.com. They gave me a call, and told me I wasn’t going to get good search engine placement unless I extended the term on my domain, its currently just a 1 year purchase.
Is this true? Or is that just a sales tactic?
I remember back in the "olden days" of search engine optimization, it was mostly about the keywords in your META tags. Now, that clearly is not enough. I’m curious what I can do to optimizes search engine placement without paying thousands of dollars for someone else to do it for me. What are those people doing to get top placement?
