SEO is fast becoming one of the most paid professions around. And we are still in the pioneering stages. Wonder how will SEO look in 10 years?

Dan Schulz · Sep 16, 2007, 03:44

Let's peer into my crystal ball shall we?

I see con artists, fools parting with their money, and snake oil. LOTS of snake oil. Looks no different than today, or ten years ago.

By the way, if I didn't say this beforehand, welcome to SitePoint!

Why ‘nofollow’ and ‘noindex’ are tags not a standard HTML?

Because they don't need tags or attributes for that as they already exist. They can be used in Meta tags or the REL attribute of Anchor tags.

Dan Schulz · Oct 1, 2007, 05:12

Because their job can be handled by a robots.txt file. Anything that can be done to reduce the weight of an HTML file, and reduce the maintenance of a Web site (especially for those stuck on free hosting sites that don't allow for server side includes or a server-side programming language like PHP) is obviously beneficial and preferred to putting in HTML that may have to be removed or modified later on (I learned this the hard way back in 2002).

SEO is trial and errors... Use those things that effective and discard those are not...

Dan Schulz · Oct 11, 2007, 14:03

It's only trial and error if you have no idea what you're doing. Same with everything else in life.

Posting comment in blogs is another way to link building as they say. Is it useful if I am going to use for example "website promotion" as my name when I post comment than my real name "Peter"? because as said above, anchor text is necessary..so wordpress makes your name as anchor text to your link when your comment is published....am I right or wrong?

Most blogs use nofollow in their links so those links are essentially invisible tot he search engines.

ecctao · Nov 6, 2007, 06:08

Tell me the different betrwen "LinK" and "Link:"
when search in search engine!

stymiee · Nov 6, 2007, 07:49

'link' searches for the word 'link'. 'Link:' searches for links to your page.

Dan Schulz · Nov 6, 2007, 10:51

I think he meant inside the page's text (or body copy), not the search bar, John.

Thanks a lot for this great post.
Just want to comment on this :

Do it by hand. It will not take long to do and will ensure that you are successful in submitting each form with the correct information. There is a constant debate about how search engines feel about automated submission software. Since there is a reasonable chance these are frowned upon by the search engines, and since you can do anything they can do on your own, you might as well avoid them.

But, if you're going to use software, these title seem to be the most common ones recommended: Addweb, Web Position Gold, Web CEO

From google webmaster guidelines :

Quote:

Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

The rest of the post absolutely awesome!
Thanks for the sharing!

stymiee · Nov 18, 2007, 08:39

What Google hates about automated software is that it queries their servers and scrapes content from them which is a violation of Google's TOS. It's not the software that particularly bothers them so much as it is the abuse of their bandwidth and services that they don't like. They also don't hate one particular brand more then another and you can bet that they chose WPG to be singled out because of its popularity and name recognition.

So feel free to use software to give you tips and other useless info. But don't use it query Google's servers. If you do you may find your IP being blocked but your website will be completely unaffected.
