Special Characters, Smileys in Meta Description – Helps or hurts

How many of you have seen sites which use special characters / smileys in their title and meta tags. I have personally come across a lot of sites doing it .

Having smiley’s in title and targeting a commercial audience IMO is not a great idea. when people are looking for professional company to do service for them its better we stay away from all those playful stuff in titles but if its a site servicing a crowd that likes stuff like that we can definitely do it.

Whether it affects ROI or not is a question we never tested it if someone has tested please post your experiences here

What is real keyword competition in SEO?

How many of you have searched google and found results showing more than 10,000,000 million pages. We at Search Engine Genie have worked on sites where the competition is more than 25,000,000 and still gain No.1 position in Search engines. So how come we rank a website page better than 25,000,000 pages. Actually the no of results showing up is not the real competion you will be facing when it comes to ranking a website.

When you are looking to rank in niche markets make sure you first do a complete research on your competition. You use a keyword and find millions of results I recommend go through the top 10 pages after 10 pages you will see results that are not exactly competing with you but random pages that are there just because keywords you searched somewhere occur on that page. This is true in many cases most of the time competition to get your site ranked is not more than 1000 websites. Competing with 1000 websites will be one of the most of difficult task to do. So most of time when we are doing regional search engine optimization we are competing with less than 100 sites even if the results show millions of pages.

Most of the sites that are there in internet today are not optimized for search engines so that eliminates majority of the websites from competing with you, even if they are optimized they need lots of links to compete with competitive industry. So you get good links and you eliminate most of your competition. Also never stop adding quality information for your site if you are going after a niche industry you are supposed to run a website that even evolves. It usa to evolve by itself or you need to make it evolve.

We at search engine genie make sure we add atleast 2 pages of content to our website everyday. So 6 months down the road we have a website with atleast 1000 new pages of contents. This is a major step when it comes to tackling competition. So I recommend don’t worry what google shows in millions keep working on your site eventually you will be on top of Major search engines

So Inception date what is it: – SEO tip of the day – dec 7th 2007

Answers.com defines Inception as
The beginning of something, such as an undertaking; a commencement.
For search engines inception date is the date on which a particular document of a particular link to a particular site was found during their regular crawling routine.
So does inception date really matters.
Yes we would say especially newly indexed sites its important we have a good inception date since it affects the overall ranking of a site by a huge margin. Since now all sites need to have a good trust with search engines its good if the inception into search results in much earlier so that trust is gained over a period of time.
Also backlink inception is very important since sudden growth or drop in backlinks gives an alarm signal to search engines. A steady growth in backlinks indicates good signs for a site.
Google’s patent says
“Consider the example of a document with an inception date of yesterday that is referenced by 10 back links. This document may be scored higher by search engine 125 than a document with an inception date of 10 years ago that is referenced by 100 back links because the rate of link growth for the former is relatively higher than the latter. While a spiky rate of growth in the number of back links may be a factor used by search engine 125 to score documents, it may also signal an attempt to spam search engine 125. Accordingly, in this situation, search engine 125 may actually lower the score of a document(s) to reduce the effect of spamming.”

Stolent content coprighted content handling thiefs – seo tip of the day dec 6 2007

Stolen Content: Had problem with stolen content its not just you every site has problem with stolen contents. We have a very nice posting from a webmaster world administrator which we would like to share here.
It explains pretty well steps to be taken when your contents are stolen. We know the pain behind stolen contents so I am sure this information explains it.

I’ll throw out a few ideas – feel free to chime in with your suggestions and descriptions of what has worked for you. One ground rule – let’s focus on the post-theft phase, i.e., lets cover things you can do to prevent or prepare for content theft in a separate thread. CAUTION – we don’t offer legal advice here at WebmasterWorld. Everyone’s situation is different (particularly with our diverse geography here), and you should rely on your attorney, preferably an intellectual property attorney, for appropriate advice.
So, let’s start with this unfortunate scenario: you are doing a search related to your site in your favorite search engine, and you spot a listing that looks like yours… but it’s a different domain. You visit the site, and find your content has been ported to an unrelated domain. What do you do first? Here are some conversation-starters – feel free to add to them, disagree, etc. Note that the extent of research you do will depend on the nature of the violator – if you’ll end up in court, you need far more complete documentation than if the violator is out of reach legally.
RESEARCH PHASE
Learn about the perpetrators. At a minimum, check and document the following:
– WHOIS info for their domain – owner, contacts, name servers, date registered.
– Determine the domain’s IP address, and do a reverse IP lookup to find out who the IP address is registered to and hence who is hosting the domain.
– Make a copy of the offending site in its current condition using a site copy tool.
– Print dated page dumps or screen shots illustrating samples of the stolen content.
– If the site owners are identifiable, research them to find company contacts, etc.
– Identify the business partners of the ripoff site, i.e., if they are running affiliate ads, determine their affiliate partner(s) and their affiliate IDs.
– Check the Wayback Machine or other archive to see if they have a copy of the offending site; document the earliest date it appears. (Or, note that it doesn’t appear at all.)
Assemble documentation for your site. In an ideal world, you’d already have all this … but get what you can now.
– Print dated page dumps or screen shots of your site.
– Print WHOIS info showing when you registered your domain.
– Document when you first published your content. You may have written records of this, or perhaps your file creation dates are the original dates. Your host may have backup tapes that show early dates for your content. Check the Wayback Machine or other archive.
– Pull together any documents supporting your claim to the content – publication in written form with the author’s byline, copyright documents, letters of transmittal from a content author, etc.
– In the U.S., one free or inexpensive method for dating documents is using a notary public (found in most banks and other locations). Check with your attorney to see if this is appropriate in your situation.
Identify any other proof. Sometimes the content may be altered to make it appear original – if you have anything unique in your content (e.g., a typographic error) that appears in the stolen version, document it as additional proof.
ACTION PHASE
E-mail Notice. In a few cases, the offending content will be removed as soon as you let them know you have discovered it. For example, it may have been included in error or without the knowledge of management. In other cases, the perpetrator may not want to call attention to their site and may agree to remove the copied content. Therefore, many webmasters suggest an initial, non-threatening contact with the offending site. Unfortunately, an e-mail is a low-impact means of communication and this will probably fail in most cases. Its sole advantage is its immediacy: you can spot a problem and put the site owner on notice in a matter of minutes.
Written Notice. Written notice of copyright infringement is superior to e-mail, both from an impact and documentation standpoint. Let the owner of the offending site know that you have discovered your copyrighted content on his site, and provide a brief time-frame for its removal prior to your taking additional steps. You can decide whether to adopt a friendly or threatening tone for this communication. To increase the impact and to document receipt of your complaint, consider sending it via Certified Mail (U.S.), Federal Express, etc., and require a signature upon delivery. Having to sign for the document will add to the impression that you are serious. It will also provide documentation that your complaint was delivered.
Of course, maximum impact will come from a letter on lawyer’s letterhead. Business owners hate to see attorneys get involved as they know that even if they win it will be expensive, and will often head off any perceived legal problems before they get into serious billable hours. Your lawyer should be able to write an appropriate letter at low cost, particularly if you do the up-front research and all the lawyer has to do is put the threatening words on paper.
Web Host/ISP Contact. If you are not making progress with the site owner, can’t find the site owner, etc., the offending web site’s host or connectivity provider may be convinced to step in. Success will depend on the firm and your documentation. Free hosts can often be convinced to take down copyright violations quickly; a site hosted on a private server connected to the Internet by a major pipe may be tougher to impact. Reference the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in your communications. Written notice is probably better, but many hosts/ISPs are set up with abuse coordinators that will process e-mail complaints.
Search Engine Contact. It’s not really solving the problem, but search engines can sometimes be convinced to remove copyright-violating material from their index. Particularly if your stolen content is showing up in searches (or even outranking your original content), this is a good parallel track to pursue. Since content is often stolen to boost search rankings or referral volume, getting the thief de-indexed will remove a major motivation for his leaving the content in place. Search engines aren’t always very good at handling individual complaints, but some members have reported success with this approach.
Business Partner Contact. If the site has identifiable business partners, e.g., affiliate links to individual firms or affiliate aggregators, brand name merchandise, etc., consider putting these parties on notice that your copyrighted content is being used to market their products without authorization.
One final reminder – your approach should be suited to the value of your content, the scope of the copyright violation, and the nature/location of the violating site. In some cases, a full-court press involving IP attorneys is well-justified, while in others it may be overkill or simply unlikely to yield results.
