  • SEO - What Are the BIG Things to Get Right? Keyword Research – You Must Focus on What People Search for - Not What You Want Them to Search For
    Search Engine Optimization SEO - What are the BIG things to get right? Keyword Research – you must focus on what people search for - not what you want them to search for. Content – Extremely important - #2. Page Title Tags – Clearly a strong contributor to good rankings - #3 Usability – Obviously search engine robots do not know colors or identify a ‘call to action’ statement (which are both very important to visitors), but they do see broken links, HTML coding errors, contextual links between pages and download times. Links – Numbers are good; but Quality, Authoritative, Relevant links on Keyword-Rich anchor text will provide you the best improvement in your SERP rankings. #1 Keyword Research: The foundation of a SEO campaign is accurate keyword research. When doing keyword research: Speak the user's language! People search for terms like "cheap airline tickets," not "value-priced travel experience." Often, a boring keyword is a known keyword. Supplement brand names with generic terms. Avoid "politically correct" terminology. (example: use ‘blind users’ not ‘visually challenged users’). Favor legacy terms over made-up words, marketese and internal vocabulary. Plural verses singular form of words – search it yourself! Keywords: Use keyword search results to select multi-word keyword phrases for the site. Formulate Meta Keyword tag to focus on these keywords. Google currently ignores the tag as does Bing, however Yahoo still does index the keyword tag despite some press indicating otherwise. I believe it still is important to include one. Why – what better place to document your work and it might just come back into vogue someday. List keywords in order of importance for that given page.

  • Search Engines and Power: a Politics of Online (Mis-) Information
    5/2/2020 Search Engines and Power: A Politics of Online (Mis-) Information Webology, Volume 5, Number 2, June, 2008 Table of Titles & Subject Authors Home Contents Index Index Search Engines and Power: A Politics of Online (Mis-) Information Elad Segev Research Institute for Law, Politics and Justice, Keele University, UK Email: e.segev (at) keele.ac.uk Received March 18, 2008; Accepted June 25, 2008 Abstract Media and communications have always been employed by dominant actors and played a crucial role in framing our knowledge and constructing certain orders. This paper examines the politics of search engines, suggesting that they increasingly become "authoritative" and popular information agents used by individuals, groups and governments to attain their position and shape the information order. Following the short evolution of search engines from small companies to global media corporations that commodify online information and control advertising spaces, this study brings attention to some of their important political, social, cultural and economic implications. This is indicated through their expanding operation and control over private and public informational spaces as well as through the structural bias of the information they attempt to organize. In particular, it is indicated that search engines are highly biased toward commercial and popular US- based content, supporting US-centric priorities and agendas. Consequently, it is suggested that together with their important role in "organizing the world's information" search engines

E-mail: [email protected] To appear in: Information Services & Use 25(2005)3 This article discusses Web search engines; mainly the challenges in indexing the World Wide Web, the user behaviour, and the ranking factors used by these engines. Ranking factors are divided into query-dependent and query-independent factors, the latter of which have become more and more important within recent years. The possibilities of these factors are limited, mainly of those that are based on the widely used link popularity measures. The article concludes with an overview of factors that should be considered to determine the quality of Web search engines. 1. Introduction “Ten Years Into the Web, and the Search Problem is Nowhere Near Solved”, was the title of a talk given by David Seuss, founder of the Northern Light search engine, at the Computers in Libraries conference in 2004 [26]. This titles sounds rather pessimistic considering the great advances search engines made from early developments such as Webcrawler to the modern engines we all use, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. It is interesting to see that the search engine market is shared by just a few companies and dominated by just one, namely Google.
