The truth about meta tags

We have dealt with the categories of visible and sometimes visible text. That only leaves text that is not visible to the user. The two categories of entries here are meta tags and html comments. Meta tags are largely historical in context. 

They have been so overdone by people practicing SEO on sites, that they are not given that heavy an emphasis by search engines.

SEO Killer Server Log Files

Friday, August 15th, 2008

It is very important for every website owner to collect information about visitors, their behavior, how they move on the website, which interests the have and how long time they spend on which pages. Web servers collect information and save them in log files.

However, outgoing links on your web site can really hurt your google rankings. Search engines such as Google don’t make you responsible for links found over the web linking to your website but they do make you responsible for links found on your own website. If you link to a banned or dead website, you risk losing ranking ranking position in the search engine results.

WordPress Video Tutorial: Complete Installation Guide Part 1

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

The original video tutorial is open to guests and members at http://machouse.mhvt.net with a resolution of 900 x 675 pixels. Some 24 hours ago, we signed up for a new web hosting plan with IPOWER (http://seo.mhvt.net/web_hosting/web_hosting/web_hosting_providers/web_hosting_providers_ipowerweb.php). Why IPOWER? That’s only because we have never used their web hosting plans. That’s also because it was affordable. It was only US$59.40 per year. Is IPOWER a great web host? We don’t know as we’ve been using our hosting account for just 24 hours. And we are not releasing this video tutorial to evaluate or promote IPOWER’s hosting plans. This video tutorial shows how to install WordPress (blog software) on a remote Lunux shared server. It’s a complete coverage of everything that one needs to know in installing WordPress on a remote Linux server. We discuss what file to edit, how to create a database, how and what file to upload… We show some common mistakes that people make in installing WordPress. In the first part of the WordPress installation tutorial series, we start off at the point where we just signed up for a web hosting plan and there is not even a single file installed yet. So we access the control panel at the website of the web hosting company to set up a database user. We then download the zip version of WordPress software pakcage and edit the configure file. This video tutorial is not designed just for IPOWER users. Whether you have a web hosting plan with HostMonster, PowWeb, Lunarpages, rackspace Hosting or whatever, there is little difference in the way you install a particular PHP script package. And we can say that because we have had several different web hosting companies including StartLogic, HostMonster and Lunarpages to host our websites for the past 3 years.

Your SEO Service Ethical SEO and Competitor Monitoring

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

When a company undertakes a search engine optimization program, whether it is performed in-house or outsourced to an SEO service, most of the attention (and rightly so) is focused on the company website. This is the one aspect where there is a feeling of control–once a website is released into the wild, the company will have to see how its site fares against all the other websites out there, whether the other sites are using ethical SEO tactics or not.
