Web
Site Engine Position Tips
There
might be several reason that your web site is
not been indexed by the search engine. One of
the reason could be incorrect web designing. Their
are lot of things to consider before designing
a spider friendly page. We will discuss it one
by one:
1)
Your web site URLs are embedded in JavaScript.
This
is the most common reason why your web sites are
not indexed by the search engines. If your web
site URLs are embedded in JavaScript, most of
the search engines will not recognize and index
these pages. If you're serious about getting your
web sites to be indexed by the search engines
and get a good position on the MAJOR search engines
such as AltaVista, Lycos, Go Network, Excite,
Yahoo and many others, please consider changing
your web site style, either by putting your links
in simple html format or making alternative links
at the bottom of your page just for the search
engines.
2)
There are no or little content on your web
pages
If your web site was designed for "Nice looking"
which means that contains only the Image, Flash,
Java, Image map etc., and there is no actual text
information (or just little text) on your web
pages, your web pages will be ignored by the search
engines because search engines will index the
web sites, which contain valuable information.
Please put any real useful information in text
format to your web pages.
3)
Your Pages Are not Cross-Linked
Not
all search engine spiders visit your website from
your main index page (index.html). If you have
not linked each of your pages with all your other
pages, you stand the risk of having engines indexing
only one or two of your pages. Just add text links
at the bottom of your pages to all your other
pages.
4)
Your web site is a Frame style
Most
major search engines do not support Frame style
of the web sites. If you wish your web sites to
be indexed by the search engines and get good
results, please consider changing your web sites
to a non-frame style. The other way out is to
publish your site as it should be if "frames"
are incorporated. Construct it so the visitor
has a choice between "using Frames"
and "no Frames". Because the pages then
have to contain normal hyperlinks, the search
engine robots will be happy too.

5)
Using the correct html Tags
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META name="description" content="put a short
description here">
<META name="keywords" content="put your keywords
here">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=FFFFFF>
Put
your contents here ....
</BODY>
</HTML>
Some
search engines such as AltaVista and Google completely
ignoring websites that have invalid html tag sequences.
Also, please make sure you use the close tags
correctly. For e.g. <font> requires that
you have </font>, <table> requires
a </table>. Your browser may display it
correctly, but if you want the page to be indexed,
check your codes and put them in order.
6)
Do not use any Virtual Domain Redirection Service
If
you are using an Internet Redirection Service
to make it easy for people to remember your website
address, please do not use the Redirection web
site address for your submission, use your real
web site URL to submit to the search engines.
7)
Using normal .html (or .htm) file format
If
the contents of your web pages are generated at
real time by using a script such as .cgi, .asp
etc. rather than a normal .html (or .htm) file,
you are taking the risk that your web sites may
be ignored by the search engines, because search
engines want to index the web pages where they
knew what the information is.
8)
Meta Refresh and Meta Robots Tags
Check
your codes for the following tags between the
<head> and </head>.
<meta
http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.other-domain.com/directory/filename.html">
This
tag redirects your page to another web site. If
you have this tag in your code, the robots will
usually completely ignore your website altogether.
<meta
name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This
tag specifically directs robots to ignore that
web page. If you have it in your code, remove
it immediately. You can use it on pages you do
not want search engines to index.
9) Are You Using Free Website Hosting?
Many
free website hosts use various methods of enforcing
their advertising banners on your website. This
sometimes causes wrong and/or incomplete indexing
of your website. If you have repeatedly had trouble
with getting your free website indexed, switch
to a pay web hosting provider.
