Web Traffic Generation 2007-06-13 10:28:00 Working on my recent project I came across the need to experiment with generating traffic to my site. The rationale behind the experiment was to determine whether traffic was a factor considered by various search engines when assigning rank. There are many articles on the web which purport to the fact that traffic to a site is the most important factor, but the ideas presented are often flawed as search engines (the mainstream) often publicise relevancy being the determining factor. Of course we would also have to take into account links mainly incoming but that’s a topic of a later article. Let’s focus on traffic generation by way of a simple analysis. In all experiments the simple case is always considered from the onset, i.e. we isolate each variables and examine the output or result when a stimulus is applied. In this case we isolate traffic. The objective of the experiment is to measure traffic and also to look at methods of generating traffic. Step 1. Build your web Read more:Generation

Is your site being penalized for low link popularity? 2007-01-11 06:54:00 Link Popularity (the number of web pages that link to a site) has become a critically important factor in driving traffic to a web site. Unfortunately, new sites and sites with low link popularity are at an severe disadvantage and often find it very hard to attract new visitors. Here's why...Although rarely stated in plain english, search engines do not like and do not trust unpopular web sites!This sounds extreme, but starts to make sense if you think about it from the search engine's perspective. Search engines evaluate millions of web pages and display them in order of relevancy. In the past, search engines have played a continual cat and mouse game with thousands of webmasters who try to 'trick the engines' or 'beat the system'. Given the rewards of a good ranking, some webmasters would create thousands of computer generated pages hoping to trick the search engines into assigning them a good ranking. These pages would look bad to a human, but would occasionally rank well. Thi
Vertical positioning hack in css 2007-01-10 10:52:00 Hi,For those who have experienced a vertical postioning issue when using netscape or firefox:The webpage may look perfect in IE but as you are all aware when it comes to CSS, IE lags behind Firefox and Netscape with regards to compatibility or support. More recently when developing or modifying an existing website which worked perfectly in IE but showed a vertical shift in other browsers, I discovered a simple hack to resolve the concern, insert the following,within HTML: ,where the class for "spacer" being defined as,div.spacer { clear:both; line-height: 0; height: 0; border: none; margin-left: 0; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0;}The above should eliminate the spaces, but if it doesn't, simply increase or decrease "margin-top" value to suit.Hopefully that should be help.www.nikkabokka.com Read more:Vertical
