Given that Google now provides over 75% of all Internet search traffic, the last possible thing any site owner would want is to be banned from the Google index!
With countless search engine marketing techniques being employed these days, and contrasting advice available all over the web, it is well worth ensuring that you do not ‘over optimise’ your site or use any techniques which will result in Google penalising your site.
Although the main rule would be to create a site [...]

Those webmasters that stick to the old ways and focus entirely on Google are missing out on a lot of search traffic these days if they are not also well ranked by Yahoo and MSN.
For the first few months after Yahoo decided to go their own way with natural search (and MSN decided to get serious about the search business), the search results provided by those two could only be described as bizarre. Enough time has now passed that the [...]

The Google Sandbox Effect has been discussed at length in our case study of a new website first crawled in May by Googlebot. We can now further the case study with indexing comparisons and discuss interesting Googlebot crawler behavior after release, at the 75 day mark, of the study website from that very confining Sandbox.
This case study is not for the faint of heart – those just launching a new web business on a new domain name with hopes of [...]

Webmasters always anxiously wait for a search engine update. Those who rank well want to see their sites get even better. Those who didn’t do well expect a major boost. Those whose sites get de-indexed anticipate a major comeback. Those who just started new sites bet on their sites will make into the first page of search engine result pages (SERPs) for their targeting keywords. Of course, not everyone will be happy about the results of search engine updates. After [...]

Creating a new website is only the first stage in what is a long, arduous process to internet success. Millions of new websites, many of them intended to be commercial, are created every year and then????nothing happens. No, or very few, visitors come to the site. But what can seem worse, not even the search engines are in a hurry to come visiting. Most search traffic is likely to come from Yahoo and Google, and increasingly MSN. Yahoo and Google, [...]

Many of us who build websites get in the habit of using the Overture “Keyword Suggestion Tool” to do keyword research. It’s convenient, and one of the few remaining such tools that is free. Be careful, though, because there are four problems you may run into with it.
1. Singular and plural forms are lumped together. I once optimized a site for “mountain hiking” based on the search traffic indicated by Overture. I later discovered that over half of that traffic [...]

For the first few months after Yahoo decided to go their own way with natural search (and MSN decided to get serious about the search business), the search results provided by those two could only be described as bizarre. Enough time has now passed that the dust has somewhat settled and there are three main (from a traffic standpoint) sites for quality natural searches.
The term “natural search” is to distinguish true searches, as opposed to paid advertisements which appear in [...]

It’s interesting how potential clients have preconceived notions about which aspects of search engine marketing have the most value. In fact, they tend to fall into two camps that are 180 apart. The first camp believes completely in the value of pay-per-click marketing (PPC). It’s easy to understand why. PPC provides immediate and measurable benefits. The ROI of PPC marketing is obvious. This group doesn’t understand why it’s necessary "to bother" doing SEO. The second camp believes the only way [...]
