8-1-02: search engine optimization
could it take me longer to get to this?? I know, I know..
Here's the scoop - this site (for all you who have felt the need
to email me and point out that this page was essentially blank)
is not a *business* site. It's my site to *play* with as I have
time.. Which, if you know me at all, then you know I never have
any.. I really need to learn to say NO more often. Anyway.. going
to start with the basics and add as I can.
search engine basics:
what is 'website optimization':
everyone will have a different take on the exact meaning of this
term. My take is.. website optimization is the act (art) of creating
(coding) a website correct, visually pleasant, and content informative.
These factors are not exclusive but inclusive - they all work
together to make a site that is useful to the surfer and crawlable
by the search engines.. directories will like them too!
there are no real *tricks* to be had.. they went out the window
long ago.
so if that's what your looking for, the door's that way.
next installment: Where to Start?
Forums for real time, real live conversations regarding search
engines and webmaster issues in general.
my articles
This is just a rough draft of a page I have been working on
for those new to Google. It's mostly an information resource,
lots of links directly to Google (many of the more common questions
are answered at Google, they just are not easy to find :)
more soon, I promise
