Google Sitemap is a feature of the Google search engine. It allows webmasters to submit an XML file which describes the structure of a website. Actually, it will not help the page ranking of the site in the Google indexing but surely it will provide a roadmap for Googlebot to crawl our website more effectively. We have a series of XML tags and attributes that Google has defined and they can be used in a sitemap file, known as an XML schema. Our first step should be to analyze our website and gain the information that we need in order to create our Google Sitemap. We need to collect some facts related to our website. (1) Make a list of all the pages that we want the search engine to crawl (2) Rank the importance of each page in the list (3) Mark the last time we modified each page in the list (4) how often we want each page to be updated.

Spiders and SiteMap

July 30, 2008 by Serve to get served

There are many legitimate Search Engine Optimization tips and tricks that help you in optimizing a site but one of those is practically seen to be the best but it is sometimes underestimated . It is the submission of a SiteMap of your site to Google Webmater Tools. A SiteMap is just a map of your site on which you show the structure of your site on a single page. SiteMap is the easiest way to communicate with search engines. In robots.txt you tell search engines which parts of your site to exclude from indexing while in your SiteMap you tell search engines where you’d like them to go. SiteMap for Search Engines is XML format and is different from the ordinary HTML SiteMap for human visitors. Spiders when fail to discover millions of new pages out of trillions of pages out their on WWW, One way to let Spiders discover your pages is to get back-links of higher PageRank. The other way is to submit a SiteMap because it offers the opportunity to inform Search Engines immediately about any changes on your site for example, a newly added Web Page. When you have a sitemap and submit it to the search engines, you rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site.

July 29, 2008 by Serve to get served

Owners of Web Sites often search for query that “How Google PageRank effects Search Engine Ranking Position?” I think that what really matters is the understanding of both the terms, i.e. Google PageRank and Search Engine Ranking Position. PageRank is Google’s patent pending technology that rates the importance of a given web page. PageRank is used by the most popular search engine Google (among other things) to determine a page’s rank on Google’s query results page. PageRank assigned by Google to a page fully depends upon the vote of pages that link to a page. Incoming links are one of the most important components of gaining high Google PageRank. Search Engines Results Page is the page that users see after typing their search query into an engine. Search Engine Ranking Position depends on the importance given by Google to a page while ranking it in Result Page in response to a search. Different factors may involve in giving importance to a webpage, for example, a comparison of the Title and key words of a page with the contents within <Body></Body> tags, a comparison of difference of number of chracters and words of different pages, a comparison of the quality of the scripting language, besides seeing the amount and PageRank of pages that contain the links of a webpage. Onsite-SEO techniques play a major role in Search Engine Ranking Position. In short, PageRank does effect Search Engine Ranking Position but it is not the only factor involved.

<Title>Google Search Engine and Title Tags</Title>

The Title Tag is an HTML code used to concisely describe the contents of your web page in few words for search engines and the viewers. The Title is the first thing that Google Search Engine Spider sees and is also displayed as the hyperlinking text in the Google Search Engine’s results. The title is the most important tag on a webpage for visitors as well for the Google Search Engine, and you should pay special attention to this tag when considering placements and ways to lure in visitors. Try using words in between Title Tags that you believe, people will write in search field of Google Search Engline. Placement can also be important, so where possible, use the keyword phrase near the beginning of the title. Secondly, try using the words of Title in the first few lines of the Body Section. Another trick to choose a better title is to make title after an analysis of the first few lines of the Body Section. And don’t forget to keep your titles readable, inviting, and with the correct use and placement of keyword phrases, it will give your web page a huge first step toward gaining desired placements and visits.

Google PageRank

July 28, 2008 by Serve to get served

Each element of a Hyperlinked set of documents is assigned a numerical weight based on Google link analysis algorithm which is called Google PageRank. Value of an individual page depends upon uniquely democratic nature of link structure that a page has.  Google interprets a link from page X to page Y as a vote, by page X, for page Y. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves important help to make other pages important. A Google PageRank results from a ballot among all the other pages on WWW about how important a page is. A hyperlink to a page counts as a vote of support. The PageRank of a page is defined recursively and depends on the number and PageRank metric of all pages that link to it as incoming links. In simple words, more incomming links of higher PageRank to a page, greater is the importance of that page for Google. Such a page will be indexed in Google in minutes.
