of DuplicateContent
- Use of a Filter
The World Wide Web is like a running race or marathon where websites compete to reach the finish line first. In this case the finish line is higher ranking. And in this race for supremacy it is important to avoid duplicate content and its penalties. To facilitate the efficient functioning of directories search engines have been armed with content filters. This removes or filters duplicate content from pages it’s indexing. And the most hurtful penalty is lower rankings. Unfortunately, these filters not only catch rogues but web pages that are genuine too. What webmasters need to do is understand how filters function and know what action is to be taken to avoid being filtered out. When a search engine sends out spiders the filters leave out or sieve: Websites that feature identical content. And when within a site the webmaster includes many copies or versions of pages to cheat the search engines. Filters

Page Cloaking - To Cloak or Not to Cloak. 2007-08-13 17:06:00 Page Cloaking - To Cloak or Not to Cloak. Page cloaking can broadly be defined as a technique used to deliver different web pages under different circumstances. There are two primary reasons that people use page cloaking:i) It allows them to create a separate optimized page for each search engine and another page which is aesthetically pleasing and designed for their human visitors. When a search engine spider visits a site, the page which has been optimized for that search engine is delivered to it. When a human visits a site, the page which was designed for the human visitors is shown. The primary benefit of doing this is that the human visitors don't need to be shown the pages which have been optimized for the search engines, because the pages which are meant for the search engines may not be aesthetically pleasing, and may contain an over-repetition of keywords.ii) It allows them to hide the source code of the optimized pages that they have created, and hence

Getting your Business Listed for Local Search is Just the First Step 2007-08-14 15:42:00 Getting Your Business
Listed for LocalSearch
is Just the First
Step The Public has Embraced Local Search and Want to do More Although Local Search only caught on in the last year, such queries already account for over 36% of all search engine queries. When a person adds a geographic term (like city, town, or zip code) to their search query, the results only show them the small pool of businesses located within that area - and not necessarily all of them. Entering the search terms: "garden supply" + Denver only returns gardening stores in Denver - rather than the many thousands listed in the Google database. They’re even shown clustered on a map, to help the searcher easily spot the closest ones. That’s significant since people prefer to shop on the basis of convenience. Research shows that over 50% of Yellow Page directory users scan for location first, before deciding which ads to read or consider. Local Search simplifies that preference further. Too Many Sma
