1. If you absolutely MUST use Java script drop down menus, image maps or image links, be sure to put text links somewhere on the page for the spiders to follow.
2. Content is king, so be sure to have good, well-written and unique content that will focus on your primary keyword or keyword phrase.
3. If content is king, then links are queen. Build a network of quality backlinks using your keyword phrase as the link. Remember, if there is no good, logical reason for that site to link to you, you don’t want the link.
4. Don’t be obsessed with PageRank. It is just one isty bitsy part of the ranking algorithm. A site with lower PR can actually outrank one with a higher PR.
5. Be sure you have a unique, keyword focused Title tag on every page of your site. And, if you MUST have the name of your company in it, put it at the end. Unless you are a major brand name that is a household name, your business name will probably get few searches.
6. Fresh content can help improve your rankings. Add new, useful content to your pages on a regular basis. Content freshness adds relevancy to your site in the eyes of the search engines.
7. Be sure links to your site and within your site use your keyword phrase. In other words, if your target is “blue widgets” then link to “blue widgets” instead of a “Click here” link.
8. Focus on search phrases, not single keywords, and put your location in your text (“our Palm Springs store” not “our store”) to help you get found in local searches.
9. Don’t design your web site without considering SEO. Make sure your web designer understands your expectations for organic SEO. Doing a retrofit on your shiny new Flash-based site after it is built won’t cut it. Spiders can crawl text, not Flash or images.
10. Use keywords and keyword phrases appropriately in text links, image ALT attributes and even your domain name.
11. Check for canonicalization issues - www and non-www domains. Decide which you want to use and 301 redirect the other to it. In other words, if http://www.domain.com is your preference, then http://domain.com should redirect to it.
12. Check the link to your home page throughout your site. Is index.html appended to your domain name? If so, you’re splitting your links. Outside links go to http://www.domain.com and internal links go to http://www.domain.com/index.html.
Ditch the index.html or default.php or whatever the page is and always link back to your domain.
13. Frames, Flash and AJAX all share a common problem - you can’t link to a single page. It’s either all or nothing. Don’t use Frames at all and use Flash and AJAX sparingly for best SEO results.
14. Your URL file extension doesn’t matter. You can use .html, .htm, .asp, .php, etc. and it won’t make a difference as far as your SEO is concerned.
15. Got a new web site you want spidered? Submitting through Google’s regular submission form can take weeks. The quickest way to get your site spidered is by getting a link to it through another quality site.
16. If your site content doesn’t change often, your site needs a blog because search spiders like fresh text. Blog at least three time a week with good, fresh content to feed those little crawlers.
17. When link building, think quality, not quantity. One single, good, authoritative link can do a lot more for you than a dozen poor quality links, which can actually hurt you.
18. Search engines want natural language content. Don’t try to stuff your text with keywords. It won’t work. Search engines look at how many times a term is in your content and if it is abnormally high, will count this against you rather than for you.
19. Not only should your links use keyword anchor text, but the text around the links should also be related to your keywords. In other words, surround the link with descriptive text.
20. If you are on a shared server, do a blacklist check to be sure you’re not on a proxy with a spammer or banned site. Their negative notoriety could affect your own rankings.
21. Be aware that by using services that block domain ownership information when you register a domain, Google might see you as a potential spammer.
22. When optimizing your blog posts, optimize your post title tag independently from your blog title.
23. The bottom line in SEO is Text, Links, Popularity and Reputation.
24. Make sure your site is easy to use. This can influence your link building ability and popularity and, thus, your ranking.
25. Give link love, Get link love. Don’t be stingy with linking out. That will encourage others to link to you.

What is AJAX?
AJAX isn’t new; it’s a collection of technologies that have been brought together to achieve the goal of dynamically loading data from a server and updating the page without refresh. You may be more familiar with AJAX due to Googles’ Suggest feature. If you’re UK based, you may recognise the name from the AJAX multi-purpose cleaner we all used to buy.
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It incorporates standard HTML for output to the client window, window interaction using the DOM, data interchange using XML, asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest and JavaScript which glues the technologies togther.
Glad we cleared that up.
The technologies have always been there but using AJAX as a foundation, we are getting nearer to the levels of power and interactivity of applications without going down the route of Java or ActiveX. Fantastic!
Think of real-time newsfeeds, Formula 1 lap times, chat and many, many more; the list is endless, all this without the need for third party objects and all based on the web standards which makes it far more accessible to people and devices.
Could the typical business application be consumed by the internet?
AJAX requires a certain level of ability in terms of the users computer and software used. JavaScript is required which isn’t always supported, the difference between Internet Explorer [bless it] and all the other browsers adds complexity to the code. As we all know, complexity = inaccessibility/unreliability.
JavaScript has served us well in terms of form validation and other usability enhancements but I’ve never found the need to really dig deep into client-side script due to most things disagreeing with it such as search engines and assistive devices.
There is also a big usability shift as well. We all know the internet, it’s reponse to form inputs, navigation, even tables and frames. Now however, we are having to deal with a new model, the internet is reinventing itself and becoming more powerful which raises the game. I still meet new clients who haven’t ever been online. Some use the internet daily but are petrified of being presented with more than two choices when making a decision.
Almost certainly. It’s powerful and if you wish to operate at a professional level, even knowing the fundamental underlying technologies is essential. If ever there was a case for dropping the server-side stuff for a few months and learning JavaScript in depth, this has to be it.
The HTML needed for the example looks like:
Select fruit Apples PearsPlease select a fruit.
The JavaScript needed to call the server and update the page looks like:
function createRequestObject(){ var request_; var browser = navigator.appName; if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){ request_ = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } else { request_ = new XMLHttpRequest(); } return request_;}var http = createRequestObject();function getInfo(){ http.open('get', 'test.php?id=' + document.form_select.select_select.selectedIndex); http.onreadystatechange = handleInfo; http.send(null);}function handleInfo(){ if(http.readyState == 1){ document.getElementById('dyn_div').innerHTML = 'Loading...'; } if(http.readyState == 4){ var response = http.responseText; document.getElementById('dyn_div').innerHTML = response; }}
And the server-side code, using PHP in this example looks like:
Not immediately impressive but no refresh despite a server call! The interactive possibilities
Everyone talks about building links in the SEO Chat forums, so when I saw someone asking about Qassia and its link building potential, I knew I had to take a look. The self-described intelligence engine is in closed beta at the time of writing, but invitations seem easy to obtain. What is Qassia all about? And is it worth your while? In this first part of a two-part article, we’ll explore these and other questions. Qassia describes itself as “a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based directory.” You sign up with Qassia and add knowledge, what the site refers to as “intel.” Kimsolutions, the SEO Chat user who first brought Qassia to my attention, explained that the intel can be your own or something you are legally distributing. I want to emphasize the word “legally,” by the way; the company is pretty strict in their terms of service about that. They’re also very strict in their ToS about each user having only one account, ever, in their lifetime. If you ever make more than one account you will be barred from their site. And if you don’t understand their terms of service, they tell you not to use Qassia. I can understand the strictness; this is intellectual property we’re dealing with after all. Anyway, for every piece of intel you add to Qassia, you get a link back to your site. These are dofollow links, not nofollow links – so you can see how this might help you in the link juice department. Every time you create an intel, read and rate an intel, and/or invite a new user you gain Qassia dollars. This is “funny money” that can’t be turned into any other currency – but “The more Qassia dollars you have, the better your websites will rank,” according to Qassia’s FAQ. You never have to spend real money to use Qassia; the company plans to keep that totally free, and make its money from advertising (Google ads pop up in lots of places throughout the site, and of course next to many pieces of intel). “Eventually we will introduce auctions for front-page advertising, site-wide links, and other novel ways for you to burn through your hard-earned Qassia dollars,” the company notes. And there are ways to earn real dollars with Qassia, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s see what it takes to set up an account, and what it’s like to use Qassia.
2.Getting Started with Qassia
This part was very easy. All I had to do was click through the link left by Kimsolutions in the SEO Chat forum, which took me to Kim’s profile page on Qassia. At the upper left was a big button that said “Sign up today!” I clicked that and came to a standard-looking sign-up page:
What got cut off in this screen shot were the three items that I was required to check: that I was over 16, that I have never had any other Qassia accounts, and that I had carefully read and understood their Terms of Service. I’m quite certain that the rule about no multiple accounts, ever, is intended as a spam control mechanism, and it probably isn’t the only spam control feature the site has in place. I don’t know how they police that, however.
After I registered, Qassia served up a dashboard. I’m almost hesitant to do a screen shot, because it’s so full of information that a single image won’t do it justice. It’s clear that Qassia intended the dashboard to be your starting point and a place for you to get many of your questions answered. It’s laid out in the familiar three-column format, with the center column being the largest.
Down the left side were several boxes that seemed especially of interest to newcomers. The first one told me that I was eligible for a bonus – that for the next 12 hours, if I got someone to sign up for Qassia, I’d get $500 Qassia dollars instead of the usual $100. The second box led to a link that explained how to earn Qassia dollars. The third box explained a special promotion. The fourth box contained a list of intel for screening, and the final box gave links to the latest updates (the most recently approved intel, from the looks of it).
3.More on the Dashboard
Now that I’ve described the left side, I don’t feel guilty about cropping it out in the following screen shots of the dashboard:
As you can see from this top part of the dashboard, Qassia subscribes to the sensible idea of giving a user several ways to do things. I can add intel from either the center column of my dashboard or that box on the upper right. There’s also a user’s manual right at the top, which I’ll probably be discussing later. Oh, and as you can see, they’re making money – or trying to – from Google ads. Here’s the bottom half of the dashboard, sans ads:
Okay, right away we see at least one similarity to a social networking site: you get a user profile. You don’t have to put anything in your profile at all. If you do choose to edit it, you can tell it to display a number of things:
A particular name. Your user name will be displayed here if you don’t pick one.
An image, such as your photo, which will be resized to 500 x 500 pixels.
An introduction, into which you can embed links. Double check your formatting; when I tried to embed a link, I got an error that said “Thou shalt close thine [url] embedded link [/url] formatting” with the second bracketed item in red. Okay, so they have a sense of humor – and I need to be more on the ball for tagged formatting! At least I didn’t have to re-enter the whole page, just fix the problem.
Your location; it’s an open text box, so you can enter a city or country (or possibly even an imaginary location, though I didn’t go that far).
Your email address; this is controlled by a radio button that lets you choose whether or not to publish it in your profile. By default, your email address is NOT published, so kudos to Qassia for having a clue about privacy.
Your contact information through various messaging services, including Skype, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and AIM.
4.So Who Are These People?
After signing up and looking at a few things, I found myself wondering who is behind Qassia. Unfortunately, I was in for a little frustration. Under Qassia’s FAQ, all it says is this: “We are an international web development outfit you’ve probably never heard of. Chances are, though, that you’ve come across our sites while browsing the net, because we’ve been putting out good, useful and sometimes crazy sites since 1996. Qassia is, needless to say, our far most ambitious project yet.”
Okay, this is going to drive me crazy not knowing who they are! And the only press release on the site itself, at this time of writing, is one announcing that Acreon, Inc., has taken a five percent stake in the company. There is no mention of how much that comes to in money, since Qassia is still privately owned.
So what other information can we glean from the site itself? Qassia was launched in January of this year. At the time of writing, it has accumulated more than 19,000 members, who are trying to promote a like number of sites. Users have submitted nearly 30,000 items of intel, with nearly 11,000 of these items being “original” (I couldn’t immediately find any explanation of the difference between plain intel and original intel). They have banned 97 users, which is not a bad record. It will be interesting to see if they will scale well once they come out of private beta.
That’s all I have time and room for now. In the second part of this article, I plan to explain how to find intel, submit and screen intel, and cover other interesting topics about Qassia. I might even have some useful quotes about the site. See you then!

“Discover The Three Fatal Flaws That Drive Search Engine Spiders Away From Your Site.And Cause You To Lose Rankings And Traffic To Your Competitors.”
What does everybody with top rankings know that you don’t know? That’s the question that drives most people in their quest for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) information. With that “secret” information, those elusive rankings could be yours!
The information is only one piece of the puzzle - figuring out what that information means to your site and why it matters is where the true magic lies. We’ll come back to that, but for now let’s look at the basics:
Algorithms are complex formulas that the search engines use to determine where sites should rank in the search engine results pages (SERPs). There are multiple factors considered in the algorithms. Rather than trying to turn you into a techno-geek, let me just break this down simply.
There are on-page factors and off-page factors.
On-page factors are considered the foundation of an SEO campaign and they include:
In a full SEO campaign, once those issues are addressed, you would then look at the off-page factors. Today let’s just focus on the on-page factors and what they mean to you.
Let’s go back to the days of playing with toy blocks. Do you remember trying to build something and see how high you could make it? Without a solid foundation, your structure would topple quickly.
Did you ever try to build a house of cards? Your strategy as the house grew more complex was very important - but none of it mattered without a solid foundation.
That is what we are talking about here - creating a solid foundation to grow your search engine rankings on.
Now, think of the foundation of a house - you would never buy a house because of the foundation - it’s the look and feel of the house that sells it. However you may not buy a house because of the foundation - if it wasn’t solid. Because when you think about it you realize the foundation IS in fact vitally important.
The foundation of an SEO campaign is often overlooked, not talked about, not understood - basically just flat out ignored.
To get top rankings and have long term SEO success, you simply cannot ignore the foundation of your campaign.
To make sure you have a solid SEO foundation and to determine if you would benefit from SEO (if it is worth your time or money to invest in a Search Engine Optimization campaign) you need an SEO Audit - because without one you are flying blind. You don’t know if your site has the proper foundation, you don’t know if you can actually benefit from SEO (most SEO Firms don’t tell you this - but not everyone benefits from SEO!).
Before you do anything else, you need to find out:

***The Best Bindu On-Page Optimization Checklist***
*Choose the core term*
*Evaluate page/core term legitimacy*
*Core term/key phrase research*
*Develop / rework page content*
*Text usability review*
*Page usability review*
At this stage we go ahead and add the content to a development version of the page being optimized and review the page as a whole for usability. We want to make sure the page is able to convey its purpose visually, both with images, formatting, etc. We’ll add or change things as necessary to ensure the page provides the reader with the best possible visual representation.
We also take a look at coding issues to ensure there are no potential spidering issues from malformed HTML. If we can streamline the code in any way. By reducing code bloat we can facilitate faster download times, and ensure the relevant information loads first.
*SEO review*
Next we have to look text as an SEO to go over and analyze to ensure the page maintains proper keyword balance between titles, headings, and body content. The SEO also looks at proper usage of alt tags and does any other minor adjusting as is necessary, without destroying any of the copy flow.
*Final approval*
The page is now ready for final approval. Whether that means sending the optimized (development) version to the client for review, or submitting it to the boss, we want to get that final stamp of approval before it goes live. Just like anything, we do expect more minor changes to be made until the page is “perfect”.
To the outside world, SEO is a very mysterious industry with little to no standards, no certification or training programs in any of the top universities, and differing methodologies even amongst the most respected experts in the field. It’s easy for common people to get confused about what SEO’s really do and for newbies to get frustrated with information overload.
For example, many SEO experts talk about the need for link bait, link ninjas, PageRank, branding, no follow tags, paid links, on page optimization, title tags, social media, widgets, product reviews, authority articles, blogging, article marketing, search engine inclusion, site architecture, optimal URLs, keyword research, competitive analysis and on and on and on.
While all of these specific tactics are great methods to use to get ahead of the competition in the search results, the core of SEO comes down to the 2 things: content and links.
The bread and butter of SEO is content and links and you simply cannot afford to ignore these crucial components.
So before you venture off obsessing over the latest search marketing fads, it’s important to strip SEO down to the essential basics of content and links. By assessing specific tactics with this new lens, you are able to make good decisions and invest time and money wisely. The 80-20 rule applies as usual.
Let’s look at a few examples to illustrate what I mean.
Twitter. Have you heard of it? Are you actively using it yet? Everyone and their mothers seem to be promoting it and hailing it as the next great thing. I agree with most Twitter evangelists that it is a great networking tool and an effective method to build your personal brand. However, if you look at it from an SEO perspective and your main goal is to build your site to the top of Google, it doesn’t really make sense to use the tool. Will micro blogging on Twitter build the content on your site? Probably not. Will it build links to help you improve your rankings? Again, probably not. You can be much more efficient by spending your time elsewhere.
Here’s another example.
Blogging. Blogs have exploded over the past 5 years with thousands of new blogs sprouting up every day. Should your company start a blog or is blogging just another fad activity for bored teens with nothing better to do? Well let’s look at it from an SEO perspective to determine whether or not blogging is really worth the effort. First, will blogging build content? Sure it will. Every new post is a new page that is potentially crawled and indexed by the search engines. Next, will blogs build links? Yep, blogs are unique in that they conducive to content that even direct competitors would be willing to link to. Also, blogs foster communities with loyal readers constantly linking out to their favorite posts. So as you can see, blogging is definitely worth it using this system.
Now that you’ve seen the SEO view of content and links in action, I want to delve deeper into each of these 2 components. Why are they so important and why do all other SEO tactics stem from them?
Content is the foundation of the web that search engines attempt to index and organize for its users. Without content, there is no Internet. Without content, all of your keyword optimization, branding, and site architecture efforts are completely worthless. Think about it - what good is a perfectly optimized site with great usability features and linking structure if it has nothing but worthless content and fluff? You might be able to trick the search engines for a short while, but in the long term it’s doubtful your site will see any significant search rankings for important keywords. Content comes first, especially when we’re talking SEO.
As it stands now, most search engines including Google use links as the main factor for ranking in their algorithms. If you want high rankings, usually it’s going to take a number of high quality links from relevant sites. As an SEO, your main method of promotion should be link building. Forget buying the ad in the print publication or putting up flyers in your local supermarket. Although these methods might be able to get you some indirect links, they are unreliable and your time can be spent much more efficiently online. Focus on link building and the traffic will come.
As a disclaimer, I want to note that all of the views expressed in this article are centered around SEO only. I still think many of the marketing methods not related to SEO are important. Branding and social media for example are important tools for every Internet marketer. However, with the emergence of search and the current dominance of Google, SEO is becoming a bigger piece of Internet marketing every day. The opportunity for SEO growth is shrinking as we speak. If your online business cannot be found in Google, it will likely be difficult to survive over the next 3 to 5 years unless you have a large pool of resources or connections. Use your time wisely. Do or die. Content and links.
