			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Website owners and managers will always be fascinated with how well they rank on search engines. However, rankings can be deceiving because they only provide a small part of the data set anyone will need to gauge online success.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">SEO India</a> :<br />
Call SEO India 4U Services @ 919962828619 &#8211; SEO India for U Services is a leading<br />
professional Search Engine Marketing company for the E-Business Industry.<br />

<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t like to be No. 1 on Google for an organic listing? Among the busy array of results (including paid ads and local search), a top ranking still shines. It shouts: &#8220;I climbed the mountain and beat out the other guy.&#8221;</p>
<p>But did you?</p>
<p>Here are 12 key points to consider with your ranking numbers that quickly touch on other aspects of your online marketing initiative. Keeping these factors in mind will help you make better choices about what next steps you should take to ensure that you&#8217;re better positioned to improve your company&#8217;s bottom line.</p>
<p>1. Did you pursue the right keyword?<br />
A No. 1 ranking is possible with barely any effort, but will it drive traffic? You might rank well for Cleveland Legal Counselors, but odds are more people are searching for Cleveland Lawyers. If that&#8217;s too competitive, try Lawyers in Cleveland and get your share of traffic from the many ways people search.</p>
<p>2. Are you targeting the right search engine?<br />
A top ranking on Bing can trigger big smiles. However, if your website only gets 3.5% of its traffic from Bing &#8211; for all keywords &#8211; the ranking may not deserve a lot of attention. Yes, conversions are worth considering, but you need to constantly think about what precious time you&#8217;re committing to Bing when other engines may pay off in an even bigger way.</p>
<p>3. What&#8217;s your track record?<br />
You need to chart the progress. It&#8217;s not a good sign if months go by and you can&#8217;t crack the top 30 positions in any search engine results. Own up to the fact that maybe the keyword phrase is too competitive if it doesn&#8217;t show an improvement. Look for headway. For keywords with little competition, maybe you&#8217;ll rank higher sooner. But that&#8217;s not always the case. Your search engine optimization (SEO) practices may help you show a marked improvement even for more competitive search terms.</p>
<p>4. Setbacks are common.<br />
If you manage to get a great ranking &#8211; perhaps in the top 5 spots &#8211; don&#8217;t panic if your ranking dips a bit. It could easily rebound.</p>

<p>5. Substitutions aren&#8217;t inferior.<br />
Like NBA bench players, new keyword options can excel if given the opportunity. If you can&#8217;t get a high ranking for a keyword phrase among your starting lineup, remove it after a few months. Why keep it if the keyword phrase isn&#8217;t gaining momentum &#8211; either toward a top ranking or in its ability to convert.</p>
<p>6. Don&#8217;t be misled by your computer.<br />
With personal settings, browser history and different data centers, it&#8217;s increasingly tough to know if your exceptional ranking is really what it seems. For your most significant keywords, you may want to have someone else tell you how the keyword phrases ranks. Or, test out the search terms with some other ranking checkers (including third-party sources) like the ones listed below.</p>
<p>SEO Book Rank Checker (for Firefox): This tool still references your computer but has a setting to avoid your Google personal settings.</p>
<p>RankChecker.net: Easy-to-use third party (note that it defaults to top 10)</p>
<p>Mike&#8217;s Marketing Tools: Third-party tool with multiple engines</p>
<p>7. Understand your landing pages.<br />
It&#8217;s not uncommon for the home page to be the landing page for a powerful keyword phrase. Your conversion opportunity may really be an inside page. In a fantasy world, you could tag keywords and they would magically be directed to your preferred pages. In reality, that&#8217;s the beauty of paid search. But don&#8217;t give up on your home page. If it&#8217;s working, find a way to establish Calls to Action within the content, the core navigation, and diverse user cues to make sure visitors go where you lead them.</p>
<p>8. The crowded home page.<br />
Another problem with the home page is the fact that many keyword phrases often rank well for it. A few keywords may perform better if you are able to adapt your strategy and target some interior pages for some of the keywords. Your website analytics package should help you see what keywords are being used to reach the home page or any other page with a crowded keyword field.</p>

<p>9. Balance greed with diversity.<br />
Online marketers get excited if they have more than one page appearing in the top 10 search results for the same keyword phrase. You should consider whether one of the pages could better support another keyword phrase that lacks the visibility it needs to generate traffic and sales or leads for your business. Don&#8217;t make a hasty decision. If a keyword phrase ranks No. 7 on one page and No. 15 on another page, don&#8217;t assume the No. 7 ranking is the best one to attack because it&#8217;s closer to the No. 1 position. You need to weigh what you&#8217;ve already done with both pages, keyword themes on the website, the amount of content on each page, conversion opportunities and more. For example, the No. 7 ranking may be the best you&#8217;ll do for the one page. For another page, the No. 15 ranking may not have taken as much effort to achieve (meaning you could still do more with SEO to improve the ranking).</p>
<p>10. Visitors tell another part of the story.<br />
Unfortunately some businesses lack conversion data and settings. At least you can look at the visitor data in your website analytics. In the purest sense, visitor metrics will indicate whether the ranking has any merit.</p>
<p>11. Be honest about your conversions.<br />
Many websites lack opportunities to connect with visitors. Your top ranking may be wasted if your potential customer encounters a poor design (with usability messes), text overload (visitors typically prefer to scan) and information without a clear Call to Action. Offering your phone number in the 14th paragraph isn&#8217;t very effective.</p>
<p>12. Know your website strengths.<br />
To appreciate your rankings (or lack of them), you need to know your website&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses. Take a look at the competition. Study which website ranks No. 1 or even No. 10. What do they have that your website lacks? Maybe it&#8217;s a great domain name (with a keyword), an age advantage, more links, and more content (multiple pages) to accentuate keyword themes, etc.</p>

<p>Business owners and marketers can study rankings every day, but the ranking position alone won&#8217;t help. Look at the rankings within the context of overall traffic, conversions, your SEO efforts to date, the viability of your website, and your ability to spread keywords across the website.</p>
<p>Ultimately, you may need more pages to support your preferred ranking over the long haul. While making that investment, keep an eye out for alternative keywords that your website can realistically support &#8211; today and in the future. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO experts spend most of their time optimizing for Google and occasionally one or two other search engines. There is nothing wrong in it and it is most logical, having in mind that topping Google is the lion&#8217;s share in Web popularity but very often, no matter what you do, topping Google does not happen. Or sometimes, the price you need to pay (not literally but in terms of effort and time) to top Google and keep there is too high. Maybe we should mention here the ultimate <a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">seo india</a> nightmare – being banned from Google, when you simply can&#8217;t use Google (or not at least until you are readmitted to the club) and no matter if you like it or not, you need to have a look about possible alternatives. </p>
<p>What are Google Alternatives<br />
The first alternative to Google is obvious – optimize for the other major search engines, if you have not done it already. Yahoo! and MSN (to a lesser degree) can bring you enough visitors, though sometimes it is virtually impossible to optimize for the three of them at the same time because of the differences in their algorithms. You could also optimize your site for (or at least submit to) some of the other search engines (Lycos, Excite, Netscape, etc.) but having in mind that they altogether hardly have over 3-5% of the Web search traffic, do not expect much. </p>
<p>Another alternative is to submit to search directories (also known as Web directories) and specialized search engines. Search directories might sound so pre-Google but submitting to the right directories might prove better than optimizing for MSN, for example. Specialized search engines and portals have the advantage that the audience they attract consists of people who are interested in a particular topic and if this is your topic, you can get to your target audience directly. It is true that specialized search engines will not bring you as many visitors, as if you were topping Google but the quality of these visitors is extremely high. </p>
<p>Naming all Google alternatives would be a long list and it is outside the scope of this article but just to be a little more precise about what alternatives exist, we cannot skip SEO instruments like posting to blogs and forums or paid advertisements. </p>
<p>Web Directories<br />
What is a Web Directory?<br />
Web directories (or as they are better known – search directories) existed before the search engines, especially Google, became popular. As the name implies, web directories are directories where different resources are gathered. Similarly to desktop directories, where you gather files in a directory based on some criterion, Web directories are just enormous collections of links to sites, arranged in different categories. The sites in a Web directory are listed in some order (most often alphabetic but it is not necessarily so) and users browse through them. </p>
<p>Although many Web directories offer a search functionality of some kind (otherwise it will be impossible to browse thousands of pages for let&#8217;s say Computers), search directories are fundamentally different from search engines in the two ways – most directories are edited by humans and URLs are not gathered automatically by spiders but submitted by site owners. The main advantage of Web directories is that no matter how clever spiders become, when there is a human to view and check the pages, there is a lesser chance that pages will be classified in the wrong categories. The disadvantages of the first difference are that the lists in web directories are sometimes outdated, if no human was available to do the editing and checking for some time (but this is not that bad because search engines also deliver pages that do not exist anymore) and that sometimes you might have to wait half an year before being included in a search directory. </p>
<p>The second difference – no spiders – means that you must go and submit your URL to the search directory, rather than sit and wait for the spider to come to your site. Fortunately, this is done only once for each directory, so it is not that bad. </p>
<p>Once you are included in a particular directory, in most cases you can stay there as long as you wish to and wait for people (and search engines) to find you. The fact that a link to your site appears in a respectable Web directory is good because first, it is a backlink and second, you increase your visibility for spiders, which in turn raises your chance to be indexed by them. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="defaultfont"></p>
<p align="justify">The wise choice of the right keywords you will optimize for is  the first and crucial step to a successful <a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">SEO</a> campaign. If you fail on this  very first step, the road ahead is very bumpy and most likely you will only  waste your (or your client&#8217;s) money and time. There are many ways to determine  which keywords to optimize for and usually the final list of them is made after  a careful analysis of what the online population is searching for, which  keywords have your competitors chosen and above all &#8211; which are the keywords  that you feel describe your site best. All of this is great and certainly this  is the way to go but if you want to increase your chances of success, additional  research is never too much, especially when its results will save you the shots  in the dark.</p>
<h3>Dreaming High &#8211; Shooting the Top-Notch Keywords?</h3>
<p align="justify">After you have made a long and detailed list of all the  lucrative keywords that are searched by tens of thousands a day, do not hurry  yet. It is great that you have chosen popular keywords but it would be even  greater if you have chosen keywords for which top positioning is achievable with  reasonable effort. If you have many competitors for the keywords you have  chosen, chances are, no matter how hard you try, that you will hardly be able to  overtake them and place your site amongst the top ten results. And as every SEO  knows, if you can&#8217;t be on the first page (or on the second and in the worst case  on the third one) of the organic search results, you&#8217;d better think again if the  potential gain from optimization for those particular words is worth the effort.  It is true that sometimes even sites that are after the first 50 results get  decent traffic from search engines but it is certain that you can&#8217;t count on  that. And even if you somehow manage to get to the top, do you have any idea  what it will take to keep the good results?</p>
<p align="justify">You can feel discouraged that all lucrative keywords are  already occupied but it is too early to give up. Low-volume search keywords can  be as lucrative as the high-volume ones and their main advantage is that you  will have less competition. The SEO experts from Blackwood  Productions confirm that it is possible with less effort and within budget  to achieve much better results with low-volume search keywords than if you  targeted the high-volume search ones. In order to do this, you need to make an  estimate about how difficult it would be to rank well for a particular keyword.</p>
<h3>Get Down to Earth</h3>
<p align="justify">The best way to estimate how difficult it would be to rank well  for a particular keyword is by using the appropriate tools. If you search the  Web, you will see several keyword difficulty tools. Choose a couple of them, for  instance Seochat&#8217;s Keyword Difficulty Tool, Cached&#8217;s Keyword Difficulty Tool and Seomoz&#8217;s Keyword  Difficulty Tool and off we go. The idea behind choosing multiple tools is  not that you have so much free time that you need to find a way to waste it. If  you choose only one tool, you will finish your research faster but having in  mind the different results that each tool gives, you&#8217;d better double check  before you start the optimization itself. The Seomoz&#8217;s tool is a kind of  complicated and if you want to use it you need to make several registrations but  it is worth the trouble (and the patience &#8211; while you wait for the results to be  calculated).</p>
<p align="justify">You may also want to check for several keywords or keyword  phrases. You will be surprised to see how different the estimated difficulty for  similar keywords is! For instance, if you are optimizing a financial site, which  deals mainly with credits and loans, and some of your keywords are finance,  money, credit, loan, and mortgage, running a check with the seochat&#8217;s  produces results like these (the percentages are rounded but  you get the idea): finance &#8211; 89%, money &#8211; 76% credit &#8211; 74% loan &#8211; 66% mortgage &#8211;  65%.</p>
<p align="justify">It seems that the keyword finance is very tough and since your  site is targeted at credits and loans and not on stock exchange or insurance,  which are also branches of finance, there is no need to cry over the fact that  it is very difficult to compete for the finance keyword.</p>
<p align="justify">The results were similar with the second tool, though it does  not give percentages but uses a scale starting from Very Easy to Very Difficult.  I did not check all the results with the third tool, because it seems that the  seomoz report on keyword difficulty for a particular word needs ages to be  compiled but the results were similar, so it becomes clear that it is more  feasible to optimize for mortgage and loan, rather than for the broader term  finance.</p>
<p align="justify">You may want to bookmark some of these tools for future use as  well. They will be very useful to monitor possible changes on the keyword  difficulty landscape. After you have optimized your site for the keywords you  have selected, occasionally check again the difficulty of the keywords you are  already optimizing for because the percentages are changing over time and if you  discover that the competition for your keywords has increased, make some more  efforts to retain the gained positions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="defaultfont">It&#8217;s never easy for newcomers to enter a market and  there are barriers of different kinds. For newcomers to the world of search  engines, the barrier is called a <em>sandbox</em> – your site stays there until it  gets mature enough to be allowed to the Top Positions club. Although there is no  direct confirmation of the existence of a sandbox, Google employees have implied  it and <a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">SEO India</a> experts have seen in practice that new sites, no matter how well  optimized, don&#8217;t rank high on Google, while on MSN and Yahoo they catch quickly.  For Google, the jailing in the sandbox for new sites with new domains is on  average 6 months, although it can vary from less than a month to over 8 months. </span></p>
<h4><span class="defaultfont">Sandbox and Aging Delay</span></h4>
<p><span class="defaultfont">While it might be considered unfair to stop new sites  by artificial means like keeping them at the bottom of search results, there is  a fair amount of reasoning why search engines, and above all Google, have  resorted to such measures. With blackhat practices like bulk buying of links,  creation of duplicate content or simply keyword stuffing to get to the coveted  top, it is no surprise that Google chose to penalize new sites, which overnight  get tons of backlinks, or which are used as a source of backlinks to support an  older site (possibly owned by the same company). Needless to say, when such fake  sites are indexed and admitted to top positions, this deteriorates search  results, so Google had to take measures for ensuring that such practices will  not be tolerated. The sandbox effect works like a probation period for new sites  and by making the practice of farming fake sites a long-term, rather than a  short-term payoff for site owners, it is supposed to decrease its use. </span></p>
<p><span class="defaultfont"><em>Sandbox</em> and <em>aging delay</em> are similar in  meaning and many SEO experts use them interchangeably. Aging delay is more  self-explanatory – sites are “delayed” till they come of age. Well, unlike in  legislation, with search engines this age is not defined and it differs. There  are cases when several sites were launched in the same day, were indexed within  a week from each other but the aging delay for each of them expired in different  months. As you see, the sandbox is something beyond your control and you cannot  avoid it but still there are steps you can undertake to minimize the damage for  new sites with new domains. </span></p>
<h4><span class="defaultfont">Minimizing Sandbox Damages</span></h4>
<p><span class="defaultfont">While Google sandbox is not something you can  control, there are certain steps you can take in order to make the sandbox  effect less destructive for your new site. As with many aspects of SEO, there  are ethical and unethical tips and tricks and unethical tricks can get you  additional penalties or a complete ban from Google, so think twice before  resorting to them. The unethical approaches will not be discussed in this  article because they don comply with our policy. </span></p>
<p><span class="defaultfont">Before we delve into more detail about particular  techniques to minimize sandbox damage, it is necessary to clarify the general  rule: you cannot fight the sandbox. The only thing you can do is to adapt to it  and patiently wait for time to pass. Any attempts to fool Google – starting from  writing melodramatic letters to Google, to using “sandbox tools” to bypass the  filter – can only make your situation worse. There are many initiatives you can  take, while in the sandbox, for as example: </span></p>
<ul><span class="defaultfont"></p>
<li><strong>Actively gather content and good links</strong> – as time passes by, relevant  and fresh content and good links will take you to the top. When getting links,  have in mind that they need to be from trusted sources – like DMOZ, CNN, Fortune  500 sites, or other reputable places. Also, links from .edu, .gov, and .mil  domains might help because these domains are usually exempt from the sandbox  filter. Don&#8217;t get 500 links a month – this will kill your site! Instead, build  links slowly and steadily.</li>
<li><strong>Plan ahead</strong>– contrary to the general practice of launching a site when  it is absolutely complete, launch a couple of pages, when you have them. This  will start the clock and time will be running parallel to your site development  efforts.</li>
<li><strong>Buy old or expired domains</strong> – the sandbox effect is more serious for  new sites on new domains, so if you buy old or expired domains and launch your  new site there, you&#8217;ll experience less problems.</li>
<li><strong>Host on a well- established host</strong> – another solution is to host your  new site on a subdomain of a well-established host (however, free hosts are  generally not a good idea in terms of SEO ranking). The sandbox effect is not so  severe for new subdomains (unless the domain itself is blacklisted). You can  also host the main site on a subdomain and on a separate domain host just some  contents, linked with the main site. You can also use redirects from the  subdomained site to the new one, although the effect of this practice is also  questionable because it can also be viewed as an attempt to fool Google.</li>
<li><strong>Concentrate on less popular keywords</strong> – the fact that your site is  sandboxed does not mean that it is not indexed by Google at all. On the  contrary, you could be able to top the search results from the very beginning!  Looking like a contradiction with the rest of the article? Not at all! You could  top the results for <em>less popular keywords</em> – sure, it is better than  nothing. And while you wait to get to the top for the most lucrative keywords,  you can discover that even less popular keywords are enough to keep the ball  rolling, so you may want to make some optimization for them.</li>
<li><strong>Rely more on non-Google ways to increase traffic</strong> – it is often  reminded that Google is not the only search engine or marketing tool out there.  So if you plan your SEO efforts to include other search engines, which either  have no sandbox at all or the period of stay there is relatively short, this  will also minimize the damages of the sandbox effect.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Duplicate Content has become a huge topic of discussion lately, thanks to the new filters that search engines have implemented. This article will help you understand why you might be caught in the filter, and ways to avoid it. We&#8217;ll also show you how you can determine if your pages have duplicate content, and what to do to fix it. <a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">SEO India</a> is best one for Article submissions</p>
<p>Search engine spam is any deceitful attempts to deliberately trick the search engine into returning inappropriate, redundant, or poor-quality search results. Many times this behavior is seen in pages that are exact replicas of other pages which are created to receive better results in the search engine. Many people assume that creating multiple or similar copies of the same page will either increase their chances of getting listed in search engines or help them get multiple listings, due to the presence of more keywords.</p>
<p>In order to make a search more relevant to a user, search engines use a filter that removes the duplicate content pages from the search results, and the spam along with it. Unfortunately, good, hardworking webmasters have fallen prey to the filters imposed by the search engines that remove duplicate content. It is those webmasters who unknowingly spam the search engines, when there are some things they can do to avoid being filtered out. In order for you to truly understand the concepts you can implement to avoid the duplicate content filter, you need to know how this filter works.</p>
<p>First, we must understand that the term &#8220;duplicate content penalty&#8221; is actually a misnomer. When we refer to penalties in search engine rankings, we are actually talking about points that are deducted from a page in order to come to an overall relevancy score. But in reality, duplicate content pages are not penalized. Rather they are simply filtered, the way you would use a sieve to remove unwanted particles. Sometimes, &#8220;good particles&#8221; are accidentally filtered out.</p>
<p>Knowing the difference between the filter and the penalty, you can now understand how a search engine determines what duplicate content is. There are basically four types of duplicate content that are filtered out:</p>
<p>Websites with Identical Pages &#8211; These pages are considered duplicate, as well as websites that are identical to another website on the Internet are also considered to be spam. Affiliate sites with the same look and feel which contain identical content, for example, are especially vulnerable to a duplicate content filter. Another example would be a website with doorway pages. Many times, these doorways are skewed versions of landing pages. However, these landing pages are identical to other landing pages. Generally, doorway pages are intended to be used to spam the search engines in order to manipulate search engine results.<br />
Scraped Content &#8211; Scraped content is taking content from a web site and repackaging it to make it look different, but in essence it is nothing more than a duplicate page. With the popularity of blogs on the internet and the syndication of those blogs, scraping is becoming more of a problem for search engines.<br />
E-Commerce Product Descriptions &#8211; Many eCommerce sites out there use the manufacturer&#8217;s descriptions for the products, which hundreds or thousands of other eCommerce stores in the same competitive markets are using too. This duplicate content, while harder to spot, is still considered spam.<br />
Distribution of Articles &#8211; If you publish an article, and it gets copied and put all over the Internet, this is good, right? Not necessarily for all the sites that feature the same article. This type of duplicate content can be tricky, because even though Yahoo and MSN determine the source of the original article and deems it most relevant in search results, other search engines like Google may not, according to some experts.</p>
<p>So, how does a search engine&#8217;s duplicate content filter work? Essentially, when a search engine robot crawls a website, it reads the pages, and stores the information in its database. Then, it compares its findings to other information it has in its database. Depending upon a few factors, such as the overall relevancy score of a website, it then determines which are duplicate content, and then filters out the pages or the websites that qualify as spam. Unfortunately, if your pages are not spam, but have enough similar content, they may still be regarded as spam.</p>
<p>There are several things you can do to avoid the duplicate content filter. First, you must be able to check your pages for duplicate content. Using our Similar Page Checker, you will be able to determine similarity between two pages and make them as unique as possible. By entering the URLs of two pages, this tool will compare those pages, and point out how they are similar so that you can make them unique.</p>
<p>Since you need to know which sites might have copied your site or pages, you will need some help. We recommend using a tool that searches for copies of your page on the Internet: www.copyscape.com. Here, you can put in your web page URL to find replicas of your page on the Internet. This can help you create unique content, or even address the issue of someone &#8220;borrowing&#8221; your content without your permission.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at the issue regarding some search engines possibly not considering the source of the original content from distributed articles. Remember, some search engines, like Google, use link popularity to determine the most relevant results. Continue to build your link popularity, while using tools like copyscape to find how many other sites have the same article, and if allowed by the author, you may be able to alter the article as to make the content unique.</p>
<p>If you use distributed articles for your content, consider how relevant the article is to your overall web page and then to the site as a whole. Sometimes, simply adding your own commentary to the articles can be enough to avoid the duplicate content filter; the Similar Page Checker could help you make your content unique. Further, the more relevant articles you can add to compliment the first article, the better. Search engines look at the entire web page and its relationship to the whole site, so as long as you aren&#8217;t exactly copying someone&#8217;s pages, you should be fine.</p>
<p>If you have an eCommerce site, you should write original descriptions for your products. This can be hard to do if you have many products, but it really is necessary if you wish to avoid the duplicate content filter. Here&#8217;s another example why using the Similar Page Checker is a great idea. It can tell you how you can change your descriptions so as to have unique and original content for your site. This also works well for scraped content also. Many scraped content sites offer news. With the Similar Page Checker, you can easily determine where the news content is similar, and then change it to make it unique.</p>
<p>Do not rely on an affiliate site which is identical to other sites or create identical doorway pages. These types of behaviors are not only filtered out immediately as spam, but there is generally no comparison of the page to the site as a whole if another site or page is found as duplicate, and get your entire site in trouble.</p>
<p>The duplicate content filter is sometimes hard on sites that don&#8217;t intend to spam the search engines. But it is ultimately up to you to help the search engines determine that your site is as unique as possible. By using the tools in this article to eliminate as much duplicate content as you can, you&#8217;ll help keep your site original and fresh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the many factors in Google&#8217;s search engine algorithm is the age of a domain name. In a small way, the age of a domain gives the appearance of longevity and therefore a higher relevancy score in Google. </p>
<p>Driven by spam sites which pop up and die off quickly, the age of the domain is usually a sign whether or not a site is yesterday&#8217;s news or tomorrow&#8217;s popular site. We see this in the world of business, for example. While the novelty that may go with a new store in town brings a short burst of initial business, people tend to trust a business that has been around for a long time over one that is brand new. The same is true for websites. Or, as Rob from Black wood Productions says, &#8220;Rent the store (i.e. register the domain) before you open for business&#8221;. </p>
<p>Two things that are considered in the age of a domain name are: </p>
<p>The age of the website like <a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">seo india</a>,<br />
The length of time a domain has been registered </p>
<p>The age of the website is built up of how long the content has been actually on the web, how long the site has been in promotion, and even the last time content was updated. The length of time a domain has been registered is measured by not only the actual date the domain was registered, but also how long it is registered for. Some domains only register for a year at a time, while others are registered for two, five, or even ten years. </p>
<p>In the latest Google update that SEOs call the Jagger Update, some of the big changes seen were the importance given to age; age of incoming links, age of web content, and the date the domain was registered. There were many things, in reality, that were changed in this last update, but since we&#8217;re talking about the age of a domain, we&#8217;ll only deal with those issues specifically. We&#8217;ll talk more in other articles about other factors you will want to be aware of that Google changed in their evaluation criteria of websites on the Internet. </p>
<p>One of the ways Google uses to minimize search engine spam is by giving new websites a waiting period of three to four months before giving it any kind of Page Rank. This is referred to as the &#8220;sandbox effect&#8221;. It&#8217;s called the &#8220;sandbox effect&#8221; because it has been said that Google wants to see if those sites are serious about staying around on the web. The sandbox analogy comes from the concept that Google does this by throwing all of the new sites into a sandbox and let them play together, away from all the adults. Then, when those new sites &#8220;grow up&#8221;, so to speak, then they are allowed to be categorized with the &#8220;adults&#8221;, or the websites that aren&#8217;t considered new. </p>
<p>What does this mean to you? For those of you with new websites, you may be disappointed in this news, but don&#8217;t worry. There are some things you can do while waiting for the sandbox period to expire, such as concentrating on your back link strategies, promoting your site through Pay-per-click, articles, RSS feeds, or in other ways. Many times, if you spend this sandbox period wisely, you&#8217;ll be ready for Google when it does finally assign you a Page Rank, and you could find yourself starting out with a great Page Rank! </p>
<p>Even though the domain&#8217;s age is a factor, critics believe it only gets a little weight in the algorithm. Since the age of your domain is something you have no control over, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that your site isn&#8217;t going to rank well in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). It does mean, however, that you will have to work harder in order to build up your site popularity and concentrate on factors that you can control, link inbound links and the type of content you present on your website. </p>
<p>So what happens if you change your domain name? Does this mean you&#8217;re going to get a low grade with a search engine if you have a new site? No, not necessarily. There are a few things you can do to help ensure that your site won&#8217;t get lost in the SERPs because of the age of the domain. </p>
<p>1. Make sure you register your domain name for the longest amount of time possible. Many registrars allow you to register a domain name for as long as five years, and some even longer. Registering your domain for a longer period of time gives an indication that your site intends to be around for a long time, and isn&#8217;t going to just disappear after a few months. This will help boost your score with regards to your domain&#8217;s age. </p>
<p>2. Consider registering a domain name even before you are sure you&#8217;re going to need it. We see many domains out there that even while they are registered; they don&#8217;t have a website to go with it. This could mean that the site is in development, or simply someone saw the use of that particular domain name, and wanted to snatch it up before someone else did. There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any problems with this method so far, so it certainly can&#8217;t hurt you to buy a domain name you think could be catchy, even if you end up just selling it later on. </p>
<p>3. Think about purchasing a domain name that was already pre-owned. Not only will this allow you to avoid the &#8220;sandbox effect&#8221; of a new website in Google, but it also allows you to keep whatever Page Rank may have already been attributed to the domain. Be aware that most pre-owned domains with Page Rank aren&#8217;t as cheaply had as a new domain, but it might be well worth it to you to invest a bit more money right at the start. </p>
<p>4. Keep track of your domain&#8217;s age. One of the ways you can determine the age of a domain is with this handy Domain Age Tool. What it does is allows you to view the approximate age of a website on the Internet, which can be very helpful in determining what kind of edge your competitors might have over you, and even what a site might have looked like when it first started. </p>
<p>To use it, simply type in the URL of your domain and the URLs of your competitors, and click submit. This will give you the age of the domains and other interesting information, like anything that had been cached from the site initially. This could be especially helpful if you are purchasing a pre-owned domain. </p>
<p>Because trustworthy sites are going to have to be the wave of the future, factoring in the age of a domain is a good idea. Even though a site that may have been around for years may suddenly go belly-up, or the next big eBay or Yahoo! just might be getting it start, it may not be a full measure of how trustworthy a site is or will be. This is why there are many other factors that weigh into a search engine&#8217;s algorithm and not just a single factor alone. What we do know is that we&#8217;ve seen age becoming of more importance that it had been previously, there are only good things to be said about having a site that&#8217;s been around for a while.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PPC search engines provide a highly trackable marketing medium. Frequently people begin marketing without any idea as to the approximate value of a click. If you do not set up a value range and track the results you have no way to distinguish good marketing from bad marketing.<br />
In <a href="http://www.seoindia4u.com/">SEO</a> To know the value of a click, you need to decide what the goal of your marketing is. If you are just branding, then you should expect to lose money to gain mindshare or reinforce your brand, and tracking may not be that important. If you are using pay-per-click search engines for direct product marketing, you need to know how much each click is worth.</p>
<p>Before You Start:<br />
It is a good idea to look at the various ads which are displayed in which order over time. The top guy might be an idiot losing tons of money or a person who is paying an extreme premium for branding.<br />
If ads from affiliate marketers or smaller sites are ranking around the same ad position over the course of a few weeks to a month then they are probably doing something right (generating profits). It is worth it to take a couple weeks to do deep keyword research and market analysis before jumping into pay per click search engine marketing.</p>
<p>Why Pay Per Click is Important:<br />
I was working to raise the rankings of one client for a few competitive phrases. It was taking a decent investment in time and money. I then started a pay per click campaign to test a ton of terms. As it turns out the conversion rate for the words we thought we needed were not great. There were a couple other terms with lower search frequency and less competition which converted exceptionally well.</p>
