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 ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts. Studies have shown that the easiest type faces to read on the Internet are san serif fonts. Popular sans fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, and Arial. Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

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. ...
