hi all, do you know how to make our website be placed on the top ranking on searching engine like google, yahoo.. etc.
i know just some ways like META NAME=keywords" CONTENT="somthings..". but that is the old way which is not used anymore.
as i know currently most of the searching engines using the crawler system, so how can they put keyword in our website?

Well, YOU have put words in your site.

There is no way you can make your site the top without having relevant content.
CONTENT IS KING! There is nothing to beat it. All other claims are bogus.

But what also helps is the links to your site from other sites. So you develop friends, affiliates who can post a link to your site from theirs. But then, without content, all this will be a waste.

My sims site used to have about 10 people a day to it... if that,

I got a few affilliates and put my site in a few topsites and what do you know, it about a month, I had anbout 50 a day, now i recieve about 200 unique visitors a day, that is not much to me, considering some site have about 100,000 unique hits a day, and they arent the best sims sites...

try posting on alot of guest book and forum's (make sure to post your url) last time i checked google looks for link backs. Your site should move up in rankings.

I noticed that if a forum or site has a lot of members or posts you get added....but no matter what i do google doesnt seem to accept my site that has over 200 members and 4000 posts....i dont get it. o.O

be wary of making a site just to get a top position, as it will most likly look like a spam website. remember to build a website about soemthing and THEN optimise it for the search engines.

choose your keyword carefully and use it in the <title> tags and in the content on the page of the site.

while mata tags aren't used to rank the pages, they are still used by the crawlers to spot wha keywords you think you're site should be ranked in. That and it will take keyword density of your pages into consideration when determining your keywords.

Add a lot of valuable content (written by yourself or a staff member is a big plus) and try to refer people to your website by advertising it a lot on forums and other kinds of message boards.

In Google,

Content is the main source for getting rank. There is more than 200 factors (assumption ) evolved for the page ranks. The following are some of them:


URLS From Other Sites

Frequently Changing Contents

User Friendly URL (Static)

RSS Content

Popularity of Category

Size of the Page

Html Code Errors

Use of Images on Page

Uniqueness of Contents on Web

Optimisation of Page

ect.....



This are some of the factors which affects the ranking of goole. Since google techniques remains secret, we cant say exactly how to increase ranking on google. But iam sure that the use of keywords and description metatags are now prohibited on google indexing. Also the tag <input type="hidden> is prohibited on induxing since its contents cant be visible onthe page.

are there any websie sout there that explain thos elist fo factors? i.e. are pages with more images better?

I didnt know google took thinks like page size and images into consideration.
