Your Questions About Website Seo Tools

Donald asks…

should I prefer to create sub domain to with old website or develop new site to target market in USA..?

I need advise from seo guru with god experience on this issue.

I want to target market in USA and want to appear on first page on Google with Geo graphical location to USA. The keywrods are very high competitive to achieve. I am little confused with website selection to target market in USA..

Consider the two sites

1. www.example1.com

This site has PR 5 but the language is Germany and geo graphical market is set to Germany.The major audience is also from germany.

2. www.example2.us

the above site is new one and has 0 PR. this domain is new one.

I have two different view for this two sites.

first I thought that I will create sub domain on the first website something like this us.example1.com to target market in USA. I will set geo graphical location to USA with help of meta tags and webmaster tool.

secondly , I have second domain with country specific domain name( example2.us) . this domain is new one.

so which website I should select to target market in USA and to get appear on first page for the selected keywords which are high competitive.

should I create sub domain on the first site with native language of Germany Or should I focus on new site with 0 Pr and country specific domain name. the keywords are very high competitive.

Please advise me which one Should I prefer..?

admin answers:

It is hard to say depending on the actual name of the pr5 compared to a more targeted name..

It is really more of an opinion for this although a pr5 is always better than nothing.

I would just buy a new domain and pay a little money to optimize it. Pleasing visitors is more important than the search bots. If you need some low cost seo my site has resources for it, and a content feed.

Sharon asks…

Do xml sitemaps need to be installed in Yahoo Site Explorer and Bing as well as Google Webmaster Tools?

I always register and validate my website in Google webmaster tools and submit my sitemap however I never do it for Yahoo and Bing.

Does this only impact on my rankings and indexing for Yahoo and Bing? Or do Google pick up on it as well? I notice if I look my website in Yahoo and Bing I see different meta descriptions than I do in Google.

Obviously Google is the main search engine so I’m not as bothered about the rankings in Yahoo and Bing but If registering and submitting a sitemap with them help increase my rankings I will do…..especially if it affects my Google rankings.

So in a nutshell….does not having a sitemap submitted to Yahoo and Bing affect my overall SEO or just to those search engines?

Many Thanks

admin answers:

You are seeing different metas because the way SEs compile meta snippets may differ. Best way out is to write a custom meta description and kind of take control of what SEs display in SERPs this way you are in control and you can write a pitch type of description compelling users to click through and find out more about your site or whatever it is you offer on there.

Regarding Sitemaps, people will tell you that Sitemaps are great, and another group will tell you that they are worthless. Both are kind of untrue – they do help, in certain conditions.:

- Your site has dynamic content.
- Your site has pages that aren’t easily discovered by Googlebot during the crawl process—for example, pages featuring rich AJAX or images.
- Your site is new and has few links to it. (Googlebot crawls the web by following links from one page to another, so if your site isn’t well linked, it may be hard for us to discover it.)
- Your site has a large archive of content pages that are not well linked to each other, or are not linked at all.

So if you fit into those cases, then why not create a Sitemap for all the search engines that you are targeting.

If you aren’t to techie or if you have a big and dynamically changing site, you may want to take advantage of special tools that create sitemaps and automatically submit them to search engines – Google Yahoo Bing and Ask.com

Linda asks…

Does having .php or /index.html affect your SEO?

I have a couple of websites. They all have sitemaps and are registered with webmaster tools.
A couple of my website domains have .php at the end or .index.html

IE – www.domain.com/index.php

Does this affect my SEO ranking?? or does it not matter? I don’t know if it will affect the Google spider crawling my site.

If it does affect my SEO – how can I rectify this?

Many thanks

admin answers:

Google doesn’t seem to care about these but for users’ sake, for the sake of conformity and as a good practice, it is best to do a redirect

from

www.domain.com/index.php

and

www.domain.com/index.php

www.domain.com

In other words, select one URL and stick with it, redirect all others.

Jenny asks…

Video Marketing SEO……………?

I keep hearing about Video marketing and how it is becoming increasingly important for SEO

Can anyone give me more info
How can I start this? What tools are recommended?
Any good website where I can get more info

admin answers:

Make sure users can comment, rate and provide feedback on your videos. Allowing users to provide feedback results in greater views for your video. Users who provide comments are also those who usually take action – these are good people to be engaging in conversations.
Create a video sitemap for all your video content. Search engines can read these well and will easily and quickly index all of your video content.When people use search engines to find videos on particular topics they commonly use the word ‘video’. Make sure you use the words ‘video’ and ‘videos’ in your meta data, description, text and title

William asks…

Recommendations for a great SEO program?

I’m trying to find a highly efficient and reputable SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) for my website. I’d like to improve traffic flow and customers. I’m tired of the marketing schemes that purposely mislead buyers. Are there any software programs that have proven results for increasing web traffic? If so, what are they?

I know the tools provided by Google are effective, but I need a program that goes in-depth and tells me which pages need fixing, which keywords are effective, etc. I’ve researched SEO Suite and IBP, but those also came with negative views.

Software with a consensus on its reliability would be greatly appreciated. If it works, then cost isn’t a factor.

admin answers:

Getting SEO Software? Get ready to learn SEO a-to-z!

If you have already made up your mind about doing SEO yourself with SEO tools, then get ready to learn SEO the way that you’d never have to if you hired an SEO consultant. Note that I am not pitching for consultants here – unless you have a solid referral for an SEO service provider – stay away from them as the risk of being misled (and ripped off) is so much greater than with any SEO tools, even most expensive ones.

Think of it this way: now I am an SEO consultant, now it’s ME who is in charge of my site’s SEO and I need some tools to help me with that. I also need to learn about SEO principles to take full advantage of these tools and make some sort of site promotion strategy (as SEO tools are merely tools, they don’t decide for me – I do).

Getting SEO software? – Make sure you set your expectations right!

Next, if you are already shopping around for SEO software, you will notice that nearly all providers tell you that it will be easy to do SEO with their products and that you will have top rankings very soon.

When you read such stuff, please understand that it is no more than marketing speak. Of course software providers won’t go out and tell you “pal, our tools take time to get used to and you have to spend quite some time learning about SEO”. But that’s the reality – any SEO program that has lots of features demands lots of mental effort on the user’s part – otherwise you end up spending money on a program, miss out on more than half of its features simply because you don’t know how to put them to use. Soon enough you become disillusioned with the program because you aren’t seeing your site ranking #1 for your target search term as the marketing copy promised.

Getting SEO software? – Get ready to invest!

And my last word of advice: good SEO tools are not cheap – get ready to spend if you want results. The key thing to understand is that SEO software is tied to search engine algo’s. And search engines are one of the most complex mechanisms ever created.

The more search engines the tools support, the harder it is to maintain them. Why? Because it’s been tested and documented that search engines change their algorithms approximately 400 times per year. On average, that’s more than one search algo change per day. Multiply by all the search engines that the software supports – and software providers have quite a bit of work to do to keep the software working, and working accurately at that.

So yes, accuracy is the key when it comes to SEO tools, and accurate tools that support various search engines cost quite a bit. Now, they are cheaper than consultant fees but they are far from free.

Also, as you will learn, there are online and desktop SEO programs. There are pros and cons to using either of these but while all online tools have monthly online subscription fees, many desktop tools have them too. Why? Because both cloud and desktop based tools still have to interact with search engines and the upkeep costs to keep this interaction (and accuracy) going are still high hence the monthly fees.

Which brings me to your point on “negative views” – quite a few customers fail to understand that no matter if the tools are online or desktop based, search engine updates are vital for the tools’ accuracy and you have to PAY for this accuracy, each and every month. Owners of of desktop tools seem to get especially irate about such monthly costs and “rebel” when learning they have to pay for them.

So if you are saying that cost is not really a factor, and if you understand the reasoning behind monthly fees, now you are ready to shop. I am almost evangelical when I recommend SEO PowerSuite tools (all desktop based). I honestly think they are great at what they do (keyword research, rank checks, onpage seo and link building): free version to try for as long as you want, paid versions with extensive features and clockwork accuracy (and paid monthly updates), and other bells and whistles. They go above and beyond IBP in many respects: interface/usability, performance speed, features, accuracy, search engine support. Download both and see what I mean.

Also, the “Whats in your SEO toolbox” article listed in the sources has some great software recommendations and brief reviews of each program.

Donald asks…

what is required to host a website like domain,domainname, webspace,languages,tool,bandwidth,promotionand seo?

webspace alloated
bandwidth required

tools used

Tips on Selecting a Domain Name
Today I want to share with you some things about your domain name selection that you need to think about before you begin to promote your business or product online. If you already have a website in place, no problem, you can incorporate these ideas to make even more online sales. Here are some of the things to think about when choosing your domain name:

1. Choose a domain name for your business AND for your product.

Yes, thats right. Multiple domain names. For example, if your business is ABC Corporation and your product is called Maximize Your Sales, then get a domain name called www.ABCCorporation.com and www.MaximizeYourSales.com. You can have both of these domain names pointing to different pages of your web site. This way, customers who only know you by your product name can find you easily by typing in the NameOfYourProduct.com, and those who know you by your corporate name can find you easily by typing YourCorporation.com.
(Hint: If you are an individual with a small business, you should register your personal name also).

2. Get domain names with dashes in them.

In the previous example, we used the company and product domain names. Now, go out and purchase www.ABC-corporation.com and www.Maximize-Your-Sales.com.

Why should you do this? Two reasons, really: The first is aesthetic appeal. Wouldnt you agree that its easier to read the long domain names with the dashes in them? However, it is much easier to type a name into your browser without the dashes, and that makes it easier on your customers, which is why you purchased the domain name without the dashes.

Additionally, domain names with dashes sometimes rank a bit higher in the search engines. A higher ranking in the search engines will drive more customers to your web site. Search engine algorithms are ever changing, but buying multiple domains and pointing each one of them to a specific, product-related page on your main site can ultimately help you make more sales in the future. Be sure not to point multiple domains at the same page, though — that will get you dropped from most search engines.

3. Purchase domains that are similar in spelling to yours.

Every day, someone misspells a word. Inevitably, they will still land on someone’s web page. Why not yours? Using the example above, you might want to purchase www.abccorperation.com and www.maximiseyoursales.com just to be safe. It’s easy to reroute these names to your main web page after you own them.

4. Use a top keyword in your domain name.

Lets use another example to illustrate: Suppose you are selling garden tools. Not just any garden tools, you sell low cost, high quality garden tools. The name of your company is Garden Tool World. Using the tips above, you will purchase the domain names for your company. But what about your product?

The key here is to look for names for your product domain that people will be searching for. When a potential customer goes to a search engine, will they look for low cost high quality garden tools? Or will they look for Cheap Garden Tools? With a little research, you can find out what people are looking for.

I use two tools to see what people are looking for on the internet: WordTracker and Overtures Inventory. Simply type in the word or phrase you are looking for and you will see instantly which phrases are most popular. So if people are looking for Cheap Garden Tools, then your domain name might be: www.cheapgardentools.com.

Choosing a domain name is an important part of the overall marketing process and should not be taken lightly. Make sure your domain name represents your company, product and image, and you’ll be setting a great foundation for future sales.

website design proces?

Website Re-design and Re-development Process for Existing Websites

This process shows you our methodology for re-building any website, whether new or a revised website. If you are looking to design, build or develop a new website then consider following these stages in your project plan.

Your Starting Point:
OK, so you have decided you need a new website. Well our first question is usually, “Are you sure you really need a completely new website?”
We then ask you a barrage of insightful and thoughtful questions to help elicit the rationale behind the new website project, the objectives for the new site and the measures of success.

Once we have a good idea of where you want to go, we can help you get there!

Our Starting Point:
We then start by analysing your current website and looking at what works well and what does not work so well.
We ask you what you think?
We ask your visitors what they think?

Then we let our search engineers and designers get under the covers of your current website. They start a systematic analysis of how your current website performs across a range of items; this is what we call SEO for Website Redesign and Redevelopment.

We take you through some questionnaires, we look at your server logs and website analysis stats software, and we run some of our suite of online SEO tools across your site and the major search engines and your competitors’ sites so we can identify how you are currently performing.

We use all this data to build a better blueprint for your website build. You can also use this data as a set of benchmarking and performance indicators to measure the success of the project and how good a job we do for you.

Once we have all this data and we have agreed a clear brief then we follow the following design methodology for your web design project.

I am having a heck of a time getting my website listed on yahoo! and google. What am I doing wrong?

I have a great domain name that I cant seem to get to index on the search engines. I have signed up for webmaster tools, created a sitemap, a robots.txt file and everything! I have thought maybe my site had once been banned by google, so I went to check on ask to be reconsidered (and yes I verified ownership), but under ‘tools‘ ask to be reconsidered isnt there, so it must note be banned. even when doing an operator seach like site:***.com i get nothing. And yes there are several other sites linking to this. (they may be having the same problem though)
What am I missing here???

How Do I Improve My Google Ranking?

I currently own the website numeroten.com and have been trying to do some SEO Optimization. I use iWeb to edit my website and it isn’t really the friendliest web site editor for SEO. I Do have Rage’s iWeb SEO Tool. which I have been using to help. Right now it is taking some time for Google to re index my site 1 to 2 weeks and updates take a while. I do know about adding titles, key words, and meta tags. Can anything else help me?

admin answers:

Linkbacks help with SEO. Get in touch with other sites webmasters and ask them if you post a link on your site to their website if they will do the same for you. Don’t post the links in a intrusive manner, maybe a sectio like, other useful sites, or sites you might like.

Lizzie asks…

How long google page rank will appear?

1. May i know if i buy 100 pr5 backlinks for my website today, how long google will change my page rank?

2. Also, if i submit my website to one pr7 website and one pr6 website, about 20 links of my site inside this 2 pr7 and pr6 website. Can i get my website page rank improve to pr5++ to pr6? I was according to this chart: http://services-seo.net/pagerank-calculator/index.php?do=1

Is this tool accurate enough?

Many thanks…

admin answers:

1. If you are buying links, be sure that it “falls under the radar” because Google is devaluing (essentially making them ineffective for passing page rank) paid links. So, to directly answer your question. . . Your websites toolbar page rank may never change or eventually go down, especially if you are buying links.

The “toolbar” page rank is different from Google’s internal page rank.

2. Maybe for a rough gauge as to how many links make up a PR 7 website you should find some & do some research on their incoming links; I’ve never had a PR 6 website & I’ve never worked to increase my page rank. Personally, I would think that only a science/math major would be able to easily work with the equation listed, and there is no guarantee that this equation is what Google uses at this day in time to calculate their internal or toolbar page rank. If you could grab the current formula that Google uses to asses page rank, then possibly you could have a better idea whether or not this was accurate.

Mark asks…

What should I do after I redirect from an old domain name to a new domain name?

About 2 weeks ago, I changed the domain name of my website to a new domain name using the redirect 301 feature in my hosting service (HostMonster), figuring the new domain had more broader appeal as far as SEO purposes (included “losangeles” instead of smaller city “montebello”). I am still keeping my old domain as I have been told that linking domains (through redirect 301) to your main domain helps the SEO.

Now my question is “should I keep the content intact in the old domain or should I empty the files?”. Already Google Webmaster Tools is detecting errors in the old domain, mostly “url not found” and “redirect error” when it crawls the old domain (although the old domain automatically redirects entirely to the new domain). Is this normal and should I leave the old domain as is or should I empty contents??

My new domain is progressing OK as far as Google Webmaster Tools is concerned, although not as fast as the old domain when I first hosted it (only a couple of weeks prior to hosting the second and now my actual domain to my website).

Please give me your insight.

admin answers:

When you redirect your pages via 301 redirect method, Google crawler must not show any errors. Is is showing errors means something is wrong with your redirection.

Google crawler is not finding some urls, signify that at least some pages are not being redirected correctly. In this way you can actually find out which urls are broken. OR you can use a free tool which helps you find broken links while 301 redirection is applied. Means something is wrong with your redirection.

Yes, you can delete files on older domain to increase available web space. But since you are using unlimited webspace you must not be worried about webspace. Moreover you must check traffic ( in file size ) for older files. It must be very close to zero. If it is not something is wrong with your redirection.
