What Is NOT Spider Food For Search Engine

What Is NOT Spider Food For Search Engine

While its important to recognize the kinds of items the search spiders
enjoy, it is equally important to acknowledge what sorts of things do not
assist search engine spiders. Each of the following items have their place
in web design, but they will not help a website perform well in organic
searches. In fact, at this point in time, search engines do not spider any
of the following...

Images

A graphical image can not be interpreted by a search engine. While it's true
that search engine spiders may use the image "name" and its "alt tag" in an
attempt to understand what the graphic relates to, the image itself is not
visible to search engine spiders.

Frames

Frames create roadblocks for search engine spiders. Search engines are
unable to spider content contained in a frame, regardless of its format. As
such, you should avoid using frames on any pages that contain important
content.

Flash

Flash images and animations cannot be spidered. Search engines have no way
of discovering what is contained in a flash file. Always include links to
non-flash alternatives, which can be followed by the search engine spiders.

Javascript Navigation

Javascript navigation simply can not be followed by the majority of search
engine spiders, and it is unlikely that this will change any time soon.
Avoid using and relying on javascript menus for website navigation.

Feed the search engine spiders by creating content that is relevant, timely,
and unique. If you provide search engine spiders with websites that they can
easily follow and consume, your website will increase its chances of ranking
well in organic search results.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

Local Business Online Visibility Tips – Use What You Do Every Day

When you think about online visibility for your local business it's so easy to get wrapped up and overloaded with what you should be doing on the internet to promote your website. Yet, small changes to your every day business routine can make a big difference. Often, business owners think about being visible online as a way of reaching people whom you have had no contact with at all. That's true in many cases. Sometimes, online visibility is as simple as making sure that people you interact with (even briefly) as part of your usual business routines are aware of your online presence. Not everyone wants to pick up the phone or call in to your premises to find out basic information like your opening hours or who to contact. Sometimes people just want to find out a bit more about you and your company. In this day and age of always being plugged in to the Internet, your website is the first p...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
