Web Techniques That You Should Avoid

Web Techniques That You Should Avoid

There are many ways to spam search engines and trick search engine
spider to increase traffic to websites. Some of these popular methods
are better known as 'search engine spamming.' Let's know more about
these methods in order to gain clarity:

Keyword Stuffing:
It is commonly known as the repeated use of word or phrase in order to
make a page look more relevant. There is a specific way of including
keywords in a webpage. Determine your exact keywords and use them in
different ways to include in the page.

Invisible Text:
In this method, spammers usually insert text that is a combination of
repetitive use of keywords on a webpage. The main aspect of this kind of
process is that it is discolored and make to look similar as the
background color so as to making invisible for common users.

Tiny Text:
Many times, spammers use small font size to place their content. By
doing so again and again, search engines may penalize the website.

Page Spoofing / Meta Refresh / Redirection:
This is a process that automatically redirects users to a newly
developed webpage. Usually, spammers create a separate page for
particular keywords. So, when users click on the link, it will lead
users to a different page with very content with no relation with the
mentioned keywords. Therefore, most search engines simply decline such
pages.

Meta Tag Stuffing:
Usually, adding keywords to a webpage without putting in excess
keywords is an accepted form of search engine popularizing. However,
many people place high traffic keywords which are directly not related
with a webpage in any way.

Common spam indexing techniques are content spam and link spam. Content
spam may include: keyword stuffing, hidden or invisible, meta tag
stuffing, gateway or doorway pages, scraper sites, article spinning.
Link spam includes: hidden links, link building using automated
software, page hijacking, cookie stuffing, Sybil attacks and link farms.

Other spam indexing techniques are cloaking, URL redirection.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that
can be done today."

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.

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. ...
