DoFollow WebPages

11:53 AM


Do follow:

Its’ perfectly plain English!
Yes, it does mean: ‘Follow me’ …you are right!

Yesterday, we’ve been through the topic ‘No follow’ which actually dealt with the reverse concept – it is indeed the exact opposite term. You know how NoFollow works, who it affects and what all it does… pretty simple, wasn’t it? Well, today we’ll be studying this ‘do follow’ thing. And believe me when I say, ‘this is more than simple’ seriously.

Today's Inspirational Quote:
"Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught."
-- J.C. Watts
~~~~~~~~~


Do follow: Characteristic Features:
  • Search engines do follow all the posted links on a webpage.
  • Search engines do get influenced by the host’s PageRank when ranking the guests’ website page.
  • Search engines do index the link which apparently means ‘indexes the concerned website.’

Note-Worthy Notes:
  • Do follow has exactly the same characteristic features as a site would have if it hasn’t been assigned the ‘no follow’ attribute.
  • ‘DoFollow’ is not an HTML attribute.  

‘All websites who DO NOT have the attribute ‘NoFollow’ are ‘DoFollow’ by default.’

To put it plain: Either a website is honoring all its comments with links included by influencing its ranking by their own PageRank or disallowing it. If a website allows, it is defaultly doing the ‘DoFollow’ job. A page particularly assigned the ‘NoFollow’ attribute may allow indexing but disallows PageRank effect on its guest websites.

The Opposite Words: NoFollow X DoFollow

Two blondes are walking down the road when one says 'Look at that dog with one eye!'
The other blonde covers one of her eyes and says 'Where?'

~~~~*********~~~~


If you want to post a blog or comment on a blog with an aim to gain through the host websites’ PageRank, search for the blog which DO NOT have the ‘NoFollow’ attirbute. It’s simple as I have already told. Go to Google.com and use these keywords: dofollow blog, do follow blog, dofollow blog list, do follow blog list, dofollow websites, etc

IMPORTANT: You may as well use your own brains and come up with keywords which can help us in our job – do post them to me as ‘comments’ to this blog for the benefit of all readers & me.

Also submit your blogs to ‘DoFollow’ directories like:
http://www.followlist.com/
http://www.dofollowblogs.com/
Find lists of DoFollow blogs, social networking websites, article submission websites, bookmarking sites & more @ http://www.squidoo.com/dofollow

Search for more online yourself… Good Luck!

Doorway Pages

1:11 PM



Doorway Pages:

Yeah, you got me right!
These are sort of doors (available only online) directing you into ‘unwanted’ web pages!

‘Doorway pages are designed primarily for search engines, not for human beings.’

Talking technically doorway pages are web pages which are stuffed with keywords to rank top in search engine results BUT they aren’t worth using! Call them temporary web pages because the instant they appear, they start redirecting you to other page automatically or test your patience by requesting you to click to proceed!

Doorway webpages are basically created for spamdexing, i.e., for spamming the index of a search engine by inserting results for particular phrases with the purpose of sending visitors to a different page. Doorway pages are also known as bridge pages, portal pages, jump pages, gateway pages, entry pages, etc.

‘Doorway pages use some form of cloaking, which is a big NO-NO in SEO.’

Like say we did a search for "Wallpapers" and choose the top-most link from the search result result page – a click on the link will take you to the doorway page which has our ‘search term’ but doesn’t have any wallpapers – then we are automatically redirected (thanks to the fast meta refresh command) to a new website which isn’t something you want! (You may sometimes be requested to click somewhere to reach your target.)

As you’ve seen that users don't arrive at the goal page in the first go – there’s a gap between the entry and the goal page... that’s why these pages are called "bridge pages" or "jump pages" (from user’s point of view).

*Search engines DO NOT accept pages using fast Meta refresh and so doorway pages are referred as SPAM.

Note-worthy Notes:


Doorway pages are pages that have been designed for one purpose only: To rank high in the search engines for a particular keyword.

Usually their design is relatively simplistic and includes a lot of text, but contains very little graphics or other fancy effects. Their text often consists of the same phrase(s) being repeated over and over again to just rank high in search results.

Whether deployed across many domains or established within one domain, doorway pages tend to frustrate users, and are in violation of webmaster guidelines.

A search engines’ aim is to give its’ users the most valuable and relevant search results. Therefore, they can’t tolerate practices that are designed to manipulate their techniques and eventually performing poorly in their sole responsibility.

A doorway page is no more than a one-page click-through advertisement for a website.

Doorway pages act as giant banner ads – They’re frustrating… An instant response would be to look up for the close button. Doorway pages an one-way street - you can arrive to a the website via them, but if you come to the site by using other entrances, you'd see no trace of the existence of these pages.

‘Doorway pages are, in a nutshell, BAD SEO.’


Reason to use doorway: Many sites base their designs on Flash, JavaScript and plenty of images which may surely please the eyes of the visitors, but technically talented search engines don’t understand them and so our so called ‘SEO Experts’ try to fool the Search engines by challenging their techniques.

Mind it: Getting blocked or banned (for an indefinite period) is the only punishment then, so better BEWARE!

The search engines initially tolerated this behavior, but as their databases started getting filled with doorway pages they realized that these pages would quickly conquer the top ranking spots replacing the deserving websites, apparently reducing the quality of their indices which eventually would lower the value of the search result itself, resulting in users abandoning the search engine!

So search engines started removing them!

Being an optimizer myself, I would recommend that you focus on optimizing your actual content pages instead of creating doorway pages. While doorway pages can only be used to attract traffic from the search engines, a well-optimized page that has good content can get visitors from the search engines AND make people spread the word about your site.



Thanks!

SEO – Session Part -14

1:08 PM

…continuing from yesterday, I must add…

There are many more keyword analysis tools available online for FREE but Google Analytics Tool is my most trusted one. What’s more – it requires no registration, No download and is FREE. Consider re-writing your site content by testing your keywords’ competency and make it more keyword-rich and ‘search-engine friendly’ – you’ll have wonderful results!

Well, enough of keyword analysis now, let’s move a little more further and see what comes next…

~*~*~
Today's Inspirational Quote:

"The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds... think Big anyway."
-- Kent M. Keith
~*~*~

Find & Analyze Meta Keywords:

So, let us learn how and where to find Meta Keywords.

Say, we’re working on optimizing a website called www.ezlistmailer.com. Now our first thought would be to show it appearing in the 1st page of search engine results. Let’s test it in Google, Yahoo & MSN… but how do we do that? What you gonna test it with? Right! You’ve got to test it with the website’s Meta keywords.

Another question… Where do you find Meta Keywords now?

Allow me to explain: Open the website www.ezlistmailer.com in your browser, now choose your browser type and follow the method mentioned:

Internet Explorer: Right-click on blank area of the page – select ‘view source’
Mozilla Firefox: Right-click on blank area – selected ‘view page source’
Google Chrome: Right click on any blank area – select ‘View Page Source’

NOTE: < META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="email marketing software…”> are your Meta Keywords.

*Current keywords of website www.ezlistmailer.com are:

email marketing software,bulk email software,Email marketing tool,Internet marketing company,Email marketing company,Internet marketing software,Email Marketing System,email marketing solution,email marketing business,email list marketing,Bulk email,can spam act 2003,Anti Spam,anti spam filter,Direct email marketing,Bulk Email Marketing Software,Html newsletter,email newsletter software,Create email newsletter,Business mailing lists,business marketing,email list manager,Email list hosting,web based email,Email list management,Email newsletter,Mailing lists,V-Empower

Meta Tag = 571 characters / 28 Keywords.

Note-Worthy Note: Hope you remember that Meta Keyword Tag should use 10 keywords (with up to 150 characters) or less but not more.

Did you get the same result? If Not, go back & try again.


Kwell! We’re done with the first question today…. Congratulations!!
(Q1. Where and how do we find a website’s Meta Keywords?)

Tomorrow we will go ahead with testing www.ezlistmailer.com’s keyword competency in Google, Yahoo & MSN…

Also, I have a question for you people, tell me…
How do you know who your competitor is (in terms on online business, of course! …don’t start naming your class or game score competitors… ha ha)?


If you have an answer, it is indeed well & good, I’m proud of you, and, if you do not have – I’ll get it to you, don’t worry!

Thanks & Bye!

We already know how SEO help us and our websites in attaining the desired goals, so now let’s check what each component of this flow chart does!

To begin with, we have seen that SEO is basically of 2 types – On-Page SEO & Off-Page SEO.
So, let’s try to answer questions like…

What tasks are taken care by these two individually?

How are they advantageous to us/our websites?

What are the differences between them?
Coming to the first question, I will first show the tasks that each does.
On-Page SEO involves:
  1. Website Evaluation
  2. Competition Analysis
  3. Keyword Optimization
  4. Website Optimization
  5. Pay Per Click and
  6. RSS Feeds
The first step of SEO, ‘Website Evaluation’ seeks to find out the current status of a website – It actually looks into every minute detail and as you may think, involves a whole lot of research & analysis work.

List of particulars that Website Evaluation explores:
  • Google Page Rank
  • Alexa Traffic Rank & Traffic Rank in other countries
  • Blog availability & ranking
  • Total number of Inbound Links
  • Number of Bookmarks in various bookmarking webites.
  • Availability of website (company) profile in high-ranked social networking websites.
  • Website submission in different directories.
  • Rss Feed
  • Back Links from Yahoo, Google & Msn
  • Site Map
  • HTML Tags & their efficiencies
  • Number of Images the website holds and their particulars
  • Domain Registration details
  • Google Crawl Date
  • Keyword competence 
  • Number of Index Pages in Yahoo, Google & Msn
  • Back links count to your website from Yahoo, Google & Msn
  • Websites that get traffic to your website
  • Keywords responsible for your presence in search engines
  • Site Demographics & more…
We shall look into the detailed step-by-step evaluation process in the forth-coming sessions.

NOTE: You will also have to do ‘WebSite Evaluation’ of your competitors & make sure you give them a tough competition or better beat them by implementing V-Empower’s unique SEO tactics.
