Default Natural Ranking Questions - 07-28-2006 , 01:05 PM






I'm really new to this e-commerce thing. I don't understand anything
about how to find good placement in the natural rankings. I have been
told that my website www.thelittlereddoor.net is written badly and that
my flash is useless and a problem. We are using GoogleAdwords just to
be found at all, but I need to know specifically what it is that is
wrong so that I can deal with it myself or specifically tell my web
designer what is wrong. I am also now reading that I should have links
leading to my site? What is that? How do I do it? Please help, I am
pretty desperate at this point. Thanks

HTML is easier to optimize than Flash, because search engines look for
example inside <h1> </h1> and <b> </b> tags. You could say Flash is
used for entertainment and presentation and HTML is used for
information, and people usually look for information with search
engines. I suggest you read some HTML tutorials to know what tags are:

Search engines can't index all the web pages on the Internet, so search
engines need to decide which pages to index. Also, no human being has
time to look at billions of web documents every day. That's why
incoming links are an essential way for search engine algorithms to
figure out which pages are popular, important, or interesting enough to
get indexed.

You can get incoming links by submitting your URL to web directories,
such as DMOZ, JoeAnt, GoGuides, etc.

I suggest you read some documents about SEO, as there already are good
ones giving answers to questions that have been asked many times before
in this and other search engine/webmaster forums:

It is difficult to figure out what you want the web site to perform for
as there is so little indicators in the <head>; no Description, no
Keywords, Title doesn't have meaning ...

You have some <title>Untitled Document</title> that need to be filled
in.

Google finds three web pages in total and it looks like you have at
least 20. It appears like an obvious crawling issue but may not be
that. Something is stopping the spider from getting a deeper crawl and
thus accumulated your entire web site contents. Some here will suggest
to begin a link building campaign in order to resolve this issue. That
could prove to be a successful solution, one never knows really how
exactly it will go but it is a good try.

I think I get a clear picture of your web designers and personally I
believe your web site, if it wants to compete seriously in a
challenging market, will require the services of a skilled SEO.

I feel like sticking my neck out but haven't the constitution to defend
my position.

I hope someone else responds to this. I have not provided you with a
thorough analysis.

I enjoyed the visit to your web site. It is a good looking
flashy/frames combination web site with a righteous agenda and I wish
it well in the search engine results pages.

Are <h1> and <b> tags especially important to search engines? I heard
that <h1> was but didn't know why, so why?

Thanks,
George

They are frequently used to highlight what is important. Most search
engines will assign greater value to keyphrases found within these
elements, to an extent. Overuse and misuse will create an unbalance of
importance.

<h1> </h1> tags are used in the headings of many documents for
describing the contents of the whole document.
