FAQ: Search Engine Optimization

I have a little silly idea … what if we request every SP member to give at least one link to this thread with anchor text “SEO” or “search engine optimization”?

IMHO, this is the best single page on the web someone can find about SEO. I wish every SEO wannabe could read and recite it by heart.

Thoughts?

hi stymiee,
Good Research about SEO, Experienced as well as Fresher can get the benefit from your research… Most of the sites dont show SEO in a step by step manner… but you have provided it…

Nice …

Thanks

I read your article it is very useful for the search engine point of view.

i wonder if any kind soul can help me here.

being lost in touch with website management and got to know that nowadays search engine no longer crawl url like - http://www.doshur.com/th/index.asp?page=2&sort=3

what i have done is changing the url to http://www.doshur.com/th/index/2/3
but this url will redirects to http://www.doshur.com/th/index.asp?page=2&sort=3

will the search engine still crawl my page?

is it still important that i put
<META NAME=“keywords” content=“touching heart, touching stories, meaningful stories, personal growth, short stories, love, friendship”>
<META NAME=“description” content=“Collections of touching and meaningful stories.”>

or can i remove these meta tags?

seems like other pages without these tags have better ranking than mine.

i have tried to replace “id” in my query string to “c” and wonder it helps?

any kind soul can advise me?

Thanks in advance.

I already answered your META tag question in your other thread.

Glad to see this is still here (bookmarked it last year). I am in process of site redesign, as well as possible domain change at the office. Been researching redirects and possible effect on existing SE Rankings. Current domain is seven years old and ranks very high, so it would be a real shame to lose the marketing dollars and branding by changing domains.

Thanks for all this. Its really a great lesson for those webmasters who just start SEO. Once again thank you very much for this great SEO Article!
