SEO Tips and Tricks
Why bother with Search Engine Optimization?
While scanning the requests for experts yesterday on PR Leads [aff] I noticed a most interesting query: “For a top home improvement retailer’s e-magazine/newsletter, I need to find experts/leaders/authors who can speak to the benefits of using search engine optimization. If possible, in your reply, please include a short synopsis detailing how a small business should use this technique and why it is an essential tool.”
Should I report a competitor using “black hat” SEO techniques?
A dilemma! A competitor of mine is getting great results in the search engines, and I finally figured out how. He’s loading tons of keywords into a CSS layer and then positioning the layer so that it’s invisible. Here’s the CSS he’s using:
{ position:absolute; left:-100px; top:10px; width:99px; height:400px; }
Can I, should I report him to Google, or is that a bad idea?
What’s a Google Supplemental Result?
I was doing a Google search earlier today and noticed that some of the matching results were labeled as “Supplemental Results”. What the heck is a supplemental result?
Which search engines are most popular?
What I was wondering is are their stats on what percentage of users use which search engines. Out of Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN, AOL, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, and LookSmart what percentage does of the users does Google have and so on. Just trying to guage and advise customers on which pay per click medium offers the best bang for your buck. From your book Google is obviously the leader but the others have less viewers and also less advertisers I assume.
Thanks and again I really enjoyed your Google book and am having each of my employees read it.
How do I build a Google Co-op Custom Search Engine?
I’ve been reading various bloggers write about the Google Custom Search Engine (though some people call it the Google Co-op search engine, is that the same thing?) and would like to try it. Can you show us step-by-step how to do it? Thanks!
Should I optimize my site for search engine SEO?
I realize you’re going to have a bit of a biased opinion given that you wrote a book on how to optimize your site for Google, but I keep getting offers from third party agencies and can’t decide: should I hire someone to optimize my site, or do it myself?
How can I get Google search results on my site?
I have been using Google’s AdSense for Search program for a while now and having some okay results with it. What I’m wondering is whether it’s possible to have the search results appear on a page on my site, rather than losing the traffic to the Google system?
