2007-12-14 06:22:00
Link buying is fast emerging as the latest optimisation trend for online businesses. However, most of the SEOs are confused about the benefits or repercussions of the same. Forums have been discussing this issue for quite some now, and I, on my part, would like to provide some inputs on the subject.

Article Submission and Website Optimisation
2007-12-12 08:13:00
Does article submission help in the optimisation of your website? The answer to this question can be both yes and no, depending on where your articles are posted. When you write an article and post it in article directories, make sure that you do not post the same write-up in your website. Once you submit something in a directory and the page gets cached by a search engine, it is considered to be the original source of the content.If your website is crawled after the directory, and the search engine finds exactly the same content on your pages, it will consider it as duplicate. Therefore, it is always advisable to post content in your site first. Wait for your pages to get cached, and then submit the write-ups in directories. By doing so, you can ensure that your site's articles will be considered original. Also, when you write articles for submission, pay attention to their titles and summary. The former should be appealing and should incorporate your main keyword. Whereas, the la...

Having presented a list of popular directories, I would now like to talk about choosing the best directory for your site's submission services. Do not think too much about their PageRanks when taking your decision. Rally around these important selection factors instead:Find out if the directory is indexed by the topmost search engines.

Why Directory Submissions?
2007-11-20 07:54:00
