Revisit-After META Tag - Metadata Elements
2008-05-24 17:31:00
The revisit-after META tag is not supported by any major search engines, it never was supported and probably never will be. <meta name="revisit-after" content="15 days“> The correct syntax for the META revisit-after is shown above and below. It is specified in the number of days. For example, if you need to specify an interval of 3 months, the correct syntax would be specified in days, not months… <meta name="revisit-after" content="93 days“>

File Naming
2008-05-24 17:08:00
I’ve seen many of the search engines indexing file names and have found that using relative keywords in this area will play a role in your overall search engine marketing strategy. Instead of naming your file pagename.asp, you would name it keyword-phrase.asp or page-name.asp. Always use hyphens (-) to separate the words in your file names, use all lower case for file naming, this includes images too. Visitors to your site will appreciate the clean URI paths which are easy to remember and bookmark. Always try to provide the visitor with the shortest URI path. This is not an area to stuff keywords. File s should be named appropriately as part of the overall theme and should be relevant to the on page content.

Hyperlinked Text
2008-05-24 17:03:00
This area is overlooked by many when promoting a web site to the search engines. Many web sites utilize graphic representations of links. These are visually appealing, but the text in the image cannot be indexed by the spiders. I always recommend an additional text navigation bar (SSI - Server Side Includes or Front Page Includes) somewhere on the page, usually at the top, right, bottom or left hand side. Link text should be concise, use keywords and phrases, and follow the same structure as the graphic navigation.

benefits of getting one way inbound links
2008-04-16 09:24:00
Search engine robots work by following links between websites and blogs. The more inbound links your blog has, the more often robots will visit your blog.
