My company is one of the sponsors for the competition, so I know that they’re keen to get the word out. We were lucky enough to pick up a Classifieds spot at MalaysiaKini last month, and have got some very affordable ads at Cari in addition to various forum posts. However, the advertising budget is limited in order to keep the prize fund large… so if anyone knows of somewhere or something that would help, do let me know by comment here!
Robots exclusion standard is a method of keeping away spiders and crawlers from your website or from parts of your website. The file containing the parts that should not be accessed is specified in a file called robots.txt and can be found in the top-level directory of the website.
By using a certain code you can tell search engines not to index certain pages of yours because it’s not in your best interest. You can also use robots.txt generator for making your own robots.txt file. You must open a text editor, notepad for example, copy and paste the text from the text box in it, and save the file as robots.txt, then upload the file to your root-directory.
You might wanna use robots exclusion tags if you have pages on your site that would decrease your Page Ranking because of their content or simply if you don’t want to show everything you have to everybody.
When you create a new website you want it indexed as soon as possible by search engines because this is the only way you can start getting traffic and making money. As we explained in a previous article, spiders and crawlers are responsable for indexing sites for search engines.
First of all, your page and content should be optimized for the spiders by using friendly tags such as <p>, <h1>, <h2>, etc. A well optimized content will be far easier to index. Remember that Flash is very hard to index because many spiders and crawlers can’t read its content, while old-fashion HTML still rules.
Second of all, one of the best ways to get visited soon by spiders is to submit your link to a site already indexed. In addition, mentioning your site in press releases, forums, etc. will surelly bring fast spiders on your page.
Another important thing is the site map that lists and links to all the pages on your site. The link for the sitemap should appear on the main page of your website because it’s easier to find this way.
Once you get your site spidered, you can start focusing on sales and continue the good SEO work.
You might have noticed that when searching for something on Google there 2 cathegories of site that appear: the normal pages and the sponsored links. The explanation is simple: Google should make money also, doesn’t it? So he offered this paid service of sponsored links altogether with all the free services it has.
Basically, you pay a certain amount of money to get the chance to appear before all the people who have better Page Ranking than you. But the catch is that the number of sponsored links for every search is limited so when other competitors pay more than you, they will appear and you won’t.
This system is called adwords and it means that you define certain keyword or expressions that represent your website the best. When people search on Google those exact words, you might appear in the section of sponsored links.
Many people consider Adwords as an alternative to SEO but we don’t recomend this kind of attitude. While SEO has long-term or permanent effects, Adwords have effect only on the period you pay. When you stop paying, Google stops advertising for you.
