Google Search Wiki


Google Search Wiki
Today while searching in Google I found a new feature which might change the overall concept of Google Search ranking algorithm. This feature called "Search Wiki" which means that when you search in Google users will be able to put their comments and promote or remove search result.
Comments and promotion will be visible for all other searchers.Google search wiki is available only if you signed inI think that Google is now thinking about the users in the ranking of search results, which means that search engine optimization and back links will not be your way to have a better rank in Google. what a bad news for SEOs.

SEO Service Details


What is search engine optimization?
SEO is the process in which your website undergoes redevelopment to more effectively communicate your keywords to search engines. Optimizing your website enables it to rank higher on major search engines. Search engines rank websites based on two major factors: unique content that contains pertinent keywords, and link popularity - the number of quality incoming links to your website. Other important factors that determine your ranking with search engines are the architecture of the site, the visibility of your content, its underlying code and how natural your site appears to the engines


Initial Consultation & Keywords
As the initial step of SEO, one of our analysts will review your website and identify which areas need optimization to make the site search engine friendly. Oftentimes, sites may have duplicate content, session ID numbers, flash content, dynamic content and other such problems which prevent webpages from being indexed. In addition, we will review your keywords and use keyword research tools to create a list of the most searched terms for your website or industry.

Content Writing
Submit Express employs professional copywriters to create content that is not only well optimized and grammatically correct, but also is appealing to your readers and potential customers. Keywords will be integrated in your content using proper SEO keyword densities. Our writers will consult with you to ensure that the essence of your website is not compromised and that you are happy with the content we create. For sites with very little content or a greater degree of industry competition, we can also write original, 300 to 600-word articles which are keyword rich and related to your products or services. The articles would then be posted on your website to increase its content.

Website Optimization
Our optimization engineers are well-experienced Web developers and programmers who have knowledge of all kinds of website technologies such as PHP, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion, etc. The optimization engineers will take care of the technical parts of your optimization and tweak the backend of your website to make it search engine friendly. This process will include creating or modifying meta tags, title tags, alt image tags, internal linking structures, site maps, duplicate content, flash content, session ID problems, dynamic content and shopping carts.

Link Development
The development of incoming links from well-established websites is one of the major variables in attaining high search engine rankings. Link development is absolutely essential to your website’s success and is a major part of the optimization service that we offer. A high quantity of quality links can be developed through a variety of means, including:• One-way links from directories and other related sites • Reciprocal link exchanges with related sites• Fee-based directory submissions We may also offer the following services on a case-by-case basis: • Article writing and submission to article directories• Blog postings and/or creation• Press release writing and submissions• Social Media Optimization (SMO) and postings

Submission
After the optimization process is complete, we will submit your website to all the major search engines and directories, including Google, Yahoo and MSN. In addition, we will submit your website to fee-based directories such as Yahoo Directory, Best of The Web, GoGuides, Business.com and others. We will also manually “hand submit” your website to 300 to 500 directories that we have researched and found to help in developing link popularity. Lastly, if your website has indexing issues, we will create and submit sitemaps to both Google and Yahoo via their respective programs.

Reporting
We provide a baseline ranking report before we start work to show you how you rank prior to optimization; additional reports are then provided on a monthly basis. Our staff will monitor your results to make sure you are on the right track. To ensure your satisfaction, our staff will periodically be in touch with you via phone or email and provide you with project updates. As an optional service, we also offer installation of Google Analytics on your website for detailed traffic reporting.

Domain Basics: What, Why, and How

What’s in a domain name? A lot more than might think. Your domain name can be your first impression, your face to the outside world, and your new marketing plan. Learn more about what domain names are, why you should take the time to choose a good one for yourself, and how to go about it.

What is domain name? A domain name is an address for the internet. It helps people find your website. Just as homes and businesses have street addresses, all web sites have domain name. The Yahoo! Domain name is yahoo.com

A domain name is made up of two parts, typically preceded by WWW. Let’s use yahoo.com as an example:

The first part, yahoo, is a unique name that represents the web site.
The second part, com, is the extension, and stands for “ commercial.” There are many extensions available, though .com, .net, .biz, .info, and .us, .in, are the most popular extensions in the united states.

Why is good domain name important? A good domain name helps you in numerous ways.

For businesses
Add your domain name to your business card, email signature, and other advertisements.

Build credibility: Show your customers that you have an established business.
Improve your marketing: provide customers an easy way to remember and contact you. Protect your brand: secure the domain name that best represents your business name and keep it our of the hands of your competitors.

For consumers
Describe your site as best you can with your domain name. For example, a pair of amateur magicians might use their stage names, some combination of words including magic, or the name of their most famous trick.



Why Domain:
1) Web hosting
2) Web site design
3) Online help site
4) New marketing plan
5) Size does matter
6) Relate to your business
7) Avoid similiarities
8) .com is best.

Web solution:

The world wide web is a massive collection of web sites. All hosted an computer called web servers, clients simply upload their websites to a hared (or dedicated) web server, which the ISP maintains.

Domain name

A domain name is also called a web address. Just as a street address helps people find you home, a domain helps people find you online. You can register your own name, your company’s name, key words to describe your business, or even a short phrase.

What ever will make your web address easy to remember for your friends or customers, both yahoo! Custom mailbox and yahoo! Business mail come with a domain name included at no extra cost.
