Q & A on basic SEO from Google.

[Brighteyes]

Q - How can I improve my site's ranking?

A - Sites' positions in our search results are determined automatically based on a number of factors, which are explained in more detail at Google Technology.

We don't manually assign keywords to sites, nor do we manipulate the ranking of any site in our search results.

In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link back to their pages. For more information about improving your site's visibility in the Google search results, we recommend reviewing our webmaster guidelines. They outline core concepts for maintaining a Google-friendly website.


Q - Why does my site have a PageRank of zero?

A - A page may be assigned a rank of zero if Google crawls very few sites that link to it. Additionally, pages recently added to the Google index may also show a PageRank score of zero because they haven't been crawled by Googlebot yet and haven't been ranked. A page's PageRank score may increase naturally with subsequent crawls, so this shouldn't be a cause for concern. To learn more about PageRank, please see Google Technology


Q - Will switching hosting companies or changing my IP address affect my listing in Google?

A - As long as your URL stays the same, your site's listing in Google shouldn't be affected if you switch hosting companies or change your IP address. We recommend migrating a site to a new IP address with the following steps:

1. Bring a copy of your site up at the new IP address.

2. Update your nameserver to point to the new IP address.

3. Once you see search engine spiders fetch pages from the new IP address (typically within 24-48 hours), it's safe to take down the copy of your site at the old IP address

Brighteyes this is a wonderful thread. Thank you for the information. As I've said in an earlier thread, we are focusing heavily on SEO for the next couple of weeks or more. We haven't really done any back linking yet. I understand it is a very important aspect of search engine optimization.

My question to you is do you have any back linking techniques you could share with us?

SEO
Search engine optimization is a long term and permanent answer to your traffic woes. Once a website has been optimized for search engines it can stay at the top for long periods of time.

Major search engines command over 400 million searches everyday, day after day. Search engine optimization helps you get this piece of the pie, which you might be losing otherwise to your competition.

Search engine optimization results in huge savings on ad-spent using traditional channels of marketing.
A higher search ranking is what many website owners dream of. What they don't realize is that by optimizing their site for the search engines, if done correctly, they can also optimize it for their site visitors.
Ultimately this means more people finding your website and increased sales and lead generation.
