Making SEO friendly website

A quality design is the base of search engine optimization and it plays a vital role in SEO work for any site. So when it comes to doing business online, it’s all about the traffic (no. of users who visit your website).It will always be the lifeblood of any business venture working online, as there is no use of website when there’s no one there to see its pages. It doesn’t matter how successful your products be but if no one would be able to know about them or avail of your services then what’s a purpose of having such invisible dull presence. That’s why the strategies of traffic generation start at the very moment you are materializing the idea for the website itself.

So if you’re starting a company these days or want to expand your social atmosphere, I’m sure you’ve also thought about the composition of your website and having the SEO friendly standard. The best websites clearly and pleasantly convey your/your company’s message. This is true especially for web based startups as your website is your public face, your storefront and probably one of the most frequent contacts with customers.

It really doesn’t matter whether your website is of personal nature with few pages or an e-commerce website, having a well-designed site is very important. A good web design is not just about getting your website live and running. It’s about designing every aspect and structure of your website from the general look, accessibility and search engines stand point. May be you can’t believe but website design is something which really matters to your visitors. It gonna make all the difference in whether they leave your site or bookmark it.


Moreover a well-formed HTML website keeps the search engine spiders happy. According to the figures major search engines leads somewhat 76 % of the website visitors to a site, which means if these search engines cannot found your site, there will be a huge loss financially. That’s the reason many businesses pay thousands of dollars to SEO companies to be one of the highest ranked sites in search results. Therefore, it’s necessary to find out whether your website is search engine-friendly. The search engine spiders repay you by indexing your website, which will eventually lead your visitors to its goal, a conversion or a sale. A complete web design jumpstart your business right away.


Basically in a well furnished site important content is at the top of the page, where people can see the material without scrolling. Visitors should be able to get a clear picture of your site’s purpose. See as in newspapers headlines and biggest stories are put “above the fold” – meaning the top half of the page that you would see before opening the paper , same principle applies to web design.


All text links and graphic elements such as buttons and tabs should be easy to read and use .You doesn’t want your visitors leaving because they were not able to figure out how to get your Flash menu to work. A better presentation never switches from one style to another too often, as it may causes confusion to the visitors.

To build an effective web site, ensure that the information on your website is quick and easy to find .You always have to keep one thing in mind that many consumers still use dial up internet speed, and if a web site is not quick to load, then it is highly likely that the average consumer will not have the patience to view the content of your site.

A great designed site should have a fresh standard look that will suit the type of work/business it is intended for, but it shouldn’t detract from your ability to communicate effectively to your friend/customer.

Overall always keep the user in mind when designing every aspect of your startup’s web site. Everything you do should be designed with the user’s experience in mind. Internet in present time is a fast paced place with tons of new startups, and if you want your site to be relevant then you must have to act in the right direction. Getting a positive attention of visitors with a well designed and usable web site is the first step toward success.

Search Engine optimisation of PDF files

Ever thought of optimizing PDF files prepsent in your website. Lots of business have PDF files like sell sheets, brochures, white papers, technical briefs, etc.
below are fw tips to optimize your PDF files

1. Make sure your PDFs are text based. Okay, this first one is pretty obvious. However, we still find companies whose materials were designed in an image-based program. When the PDF is made using these programs, the PDF is an image; there is no text for the search engines to read.

2. Complete the document properties. It seems like the vast majority of PDFs are without specified document properties, the most important of which is the Title. The Title property, if present, almost invariably represents the words that will be displayed as the heading of the search result. It’s the equivalent of the html title tag. If you don’t complete the Title property, the search engine is going to generate a title from the PDF’s content, and it may not be what you would choose. We’ve all seen some pretty goofy looking titles to search results associated with PDFs. Not only do they look ridiculous, but they probably won’t get clicked. In the full version of Acrobat, go to File>Document Properties to specify the Title.

There are other document properties (meta data) you can supply, including Author, Subject, and Keywords, but presently these appear to have little search-related affect. It would be nice if Subject acted as the meta description to be displayed under the heading of the search result, but I haven’t seen this to be true. For now, however, I’d complete the Subject property as if it were a meta description. Perhaps in the future search engines will treat it as such.

3. Optimize the copy. Copy in text-based PDFs is no different than web-page copy. Optimize it.

4. Build links into PDFs. Make sure you include links in your PDFs, and pay attention to the anchor text used. Search engines do recognize these links. Not very often, but sometimes you’ll find backlinks in PDFs. Their limited occurrence, however, is likely related to the fact that most people don’t put links into PDFs; most people treat PDFs as static print documents. In addition to including links in PDFs for search-related purposes, there’s also a good business reason. Often, PDFs are passed along to others via email. Accordingly, a reader may be viewing the PDF in isolation (i.e., not associated with your website.) By placing links into PDFs, you give these readers an easy way to click back into your site, where you can further influence them.

5. Pay attention to the version. While search engines do “read” and index PDFs, search engines’ capabilities tend to lag new versions of Acrobat. Although Acrobat 8 is out, for now you should save your PDFs as version 1.6 (Acrobat 7) or lower to ensure search engines can index the content.

Not only is saving PDFs at a lower version good for the search engines, it’s also good for users. Not everyone has the latest versions of Acrobat Reader. Accordingly, I’d recommend saving PDFs as version 1.5 or lower. This way it will be good for search engines and most readers.

6. Optimize the file size for search. Don’t post a huge PDF for download. Not only is this annoying and unnecessary for site visitors, it’s also burdensome for the search engines. If it’s too big, the search engines may abandon the PDF before even getting access to its content. Using the full version of Acrobat, select Advanced>PDF Optimizer to “right-size” the document.

You may also want to enable the "Optimize for Fast Web View" option in the Preferences>General Settings panel. This allows the PDF to be “loaded” a page at a time, rather than waiting for the whole PDF to download.

7. Pay attention to placement. If you bury links to PDFs deep within your site’s file structure, they’re less likely to get indexed. If you want to use PDFs for high-ranking search results, links to those PDFs should be on web pages closer to the root level of the site’s file structure.

8. Influence meta descriptions for PDFs. For web pages, the meta description is what is displayed under the title in a search result. With PDFs, the search engines search the copy of the PDF and select something to display. While with PDFs you have less control of what is displayed as the description to the search result, you can still influence this. The best way to do this is to make sure that you have a good, optimized sentence or two near the start of your PDF. If these sentences correspond to the search term used, it’s likely that these sentences are the ones that will be displayed as the description under the search result’s heading.

9. Specify the reading order. As noted above, search engines search the copy of the PDF and select something to display as a description under the search result’s heading. Depending on how the reading order of your PDF is specified, this may lead the search engine to select some pretty strange stuff to display.

In a previous column, Organic Landing Page: A Case Study, I noted a search result for “transit seating.” That search result is noted below:

Admittedly, this is not a very enticing description, and it’s not likely to get clicked even if it ranks highly in the search results. Why did Google select this text to display? Because it’s the first thing Google read in the PDF.

Every PDF has a reading order. Similar to properly optimized web pages, you want to make sure that valuable content is read first. How do you know the reading order? With the PDF open and while using the full version of Acrobat, select Advanced>Accessibility>Add Tags to Document. Then select Advanced>Accessibility>Touch Up Reading Order. Then the reading order of the PDF will be displayed.

You can see in the image above that the reading order of the transit seating PDF does not start with valuable content. Rather, many extraneous items are “read” before the valuable content. That’s why Google displayed what it did in the search result. If you want PDFs to be optimized for search, make sure you understand the reading order of the PDF and use the Touch Up Reading Order tool to manage what the search engine will read first.

10. Tag your PDFs You can also add tags to your PDFs, similar to html tags. Again, with the PDF open and while using the full version of Acrobat, select Advanced>Accessibility>Add Tags to Document. Acrobat will give you a document report and recommend things you may want to consider changing. You’ll have the ability to tag headings, alternate text for images, etc.

11. Pay attention. Every time you open a PDF, make even a small change, and save it once again, major unseen things may change. The reading order may change automatically. You may inadvertently save it as a higher version. It may get saved using the default size setting instead of a properly optimized size. If you’re going to further optimize existing PDFs, may sure you check all of these things before posting a new version of the PDF.

On evaluating both articles found few thigns common (though I know my articels are smaller in length ;) ) and trha fact that both articels focus upon :

Search Engine Optimisation Philosophy of company
Search Engine Optimisation Methodology / Specific Expertise
Depth Of Optimisation Service
System of Reporting
Company Structure and Size
Testimonials and Company SEO Rankings

Search Engine Optimisation - Search search engine on search engines

Search Engine Optimisation - Search search engine on search engines

Hi,
Today was juss getting bored from my rutine work and started searhin fro dummy keywords in search engines. From dummy keyword I started searchin yahoo, msn n gogles ets over search engines, then I searched fro the term search engine in all three search engines. While examining the results found that no searchengien was ranking at top over its own serps. google was at top on yahoo and msn whiel in google SERPS it was wikipedia search engine page at the no one post. goolge ranked itlself at no 5 one step below MSN. Yahoo ranked itslef at no 2 below google whereas MSN was not at top 100 (I didn't looked after that) at its own search results.
Examine the results you'll get to know some difference in search algorithms of three search engine. I have soem clue now.

Google Phone getwhat u want before you search

Google filed a patent which includes predicting phone calls and actions based upon time and location. Its being predicted that this technology could even debut in the iPhone when it is released in June.

In the patent Google discusses how all the data is stored on Google’s servers and queries are sent whenever the user is searching for something or typing a message. Presumably the queries would be sent over some kind of mobile AJAX interface. This patent is truly groundbreaking in what the application could do. Imagine that you are planning a night out in London. At 6pm Google could predict you are looking for a restaurant and, given your history of looking for directions to Chinese restaurants every week, would select an array of suitable places for you to eat.

At 9pm you would turn your phone on again and Google would know you wanted bars near the restaurant. At 11pm Google again predicts you need a list of local taxi firms.

Yahoo Vs Google : yahoo growing bit faster

According to marketwire press release yahoo is growing a bit faster than google. Most of the people in Search Engine optimisation and search engine marketing field must be surprised to read this.

visit http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=206586

If we compare the market share and groeth then definitley yahoo is growint faster.According to the report "Google with 3.035 billion searches in December, up 22.6% from the year before, and Yahoo with 1.412 billion searches, up 30.1% from December 2005".


The whole chart:

Top 10 Search Providers for December 2006,
Ranked by Searches (U.S.)

Provider Searches Growth Share ofSearches

Google Search 3,035,617 22.6% 50.8%
Yahoo! Search 1,412,904 30.1% 23.6%
MSN/Windows Live Search 499,946 -9.7% 8.4%
AOL Search 362,140 7.8% 6.1%
My Way Search 141,527 4.7% 2.4%
Ask.com Search 128,452 17.2% 2.1%
EarthLink Search 31,930 17.6% 0.5%
Dogpile.com Search 30,487 2.1% 0.5%
Comcast Search 26,931 N/A 0.5%
NexTag Search 26,835 123.2% 0.4%

Looking at the numbers for December 2004, December 2005, and December 2006, all reveals some interesting results.

Google:
December 2004: 1,414,778
December 2005: 2,475,895
December 2006: 3,035,617

Yahoo:
December 2004: 711,857
December 2005: 1,085,918
December 2006: 1,412,904

You can clearly see that, although Google gained 560 million users in the last year (down from 1.06 billion the year before), and Yahoo gained 330 million (down from 370 million the year before), Yahoo gained a higher percentage over the previous year than Google did. Google had roughly double the market share of Yahoo in 12/04, then 1.4 times the market share in 12/05, and is now back to double the market share in 12/06. In a sense, Yahoo has erased recent losses, getting itself at least back to where it was two years ago, while Googles growth has slowed.

If things continue at this very specific pace, this is what the next few years will look like:

12/2007:
Google: 3.495 billion
Yahoo: 1.802 billion

12/2008:
Google: 3.855 billion
Yahoo: 2.052 billion

12/2009:
Google: 4.155 billion
Yahoo: 2.262 billion

12/2010:
Google: 4.315 billion
Yahoo: 2.432 billion

12/2011:
Google: 4.375 billion
Yahoo: 2.562 billion

12/2012:
Google: 4.335 billion
Yahoo: 2.652 billion

12/2013:
Google: 4.195 billion
Yahoo: 2.702 billion

12/2014:
Google: 3.955 billion
Yahoo: 2.712 billion

Yahoo! Pipes

Visit yahoo pipes @ http://pipes.yahoo.com/

What is yahoo pipes : Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line.

Philosophy Behind the Project: There is a rapidly-growing body of well-structured data available online in the form of XML feeds. These feeds range from simple lists of blog entries and news stories to more structured, machine-generated data sources like the Yahoo! Maps Traffic RSS feed. Because of the dearth of tools for manipulating these data sources in meaningful ways, their use has so far largely been limited to feed readers.
