What is Quality Content for Search Engines?

We often hear the SEO advice that ‘Content is the King’, and search engines like Google favor good quality content. Many people confuse it with creating more pages, and they often end up in buying software like spam site generators, automated content generators and scrapping tools. Many others buy cheap articles and stuff their websites with copies of the articles. However, search engines are not lookinig for such useless garbage which hardly offers any value to the site visitors.
Quality content in short is link-worthy content which is original, conceptually unique and serves as a useful resource for information. And, it refers to the text part of your website. Though keywords matter in your page copy, your page should not look like a keyword stuffed page for search engine robots; you should write for your site visitors focusing on readability and usefulness.
Good quality content has other rewards, too. If people find your content useful and spreading information, they will naturally want to link to your site, and give referrals. Thus, useful pages meant for people can attract links which are very valuable for your ranking in the search engines.
If your pages are copies of pages on other sites, search engines like Google will perceive your site to be of poor quality offering no value. You should therefore create content which people will find useful in your niche. It is better to have few pages with quality content than having thousands of pages filled with garbage. Good content will attract referrals and citations to your site and boost your ranking naturally.

Pumping Up Video Search Optimization

Making video more visible means working on its appeal to video search engines. A morning panel at SES New York discussed Video Search Optimization. Attendees headed to the Search Engine Strategies conference in New York under a mostly clear sky today. A session on video search and optimizing for the engines that index it awaited those hitting the Multimedia and Mobile Track at a running start. Eric Papczun, Director of Natural Search, Performics, spoke about what he was seeing new in the world of video search. "These include file tagging which I refer to as 'scene tagging'. These are often user generated tags. This allows viewers to just watch the parts of a video that pertain to you." One insight Eric gave involved the actual keyword, 'video'; he believes there is still a good opportunity to brand a site to it as a keyword. "If you have a good position with the word 'video' with search engines, you are going to do well down the road."

Sourav Ganguly Scores DOUBLE TON

Sourav Ganguly made his maiden double century here at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore his highest Test score as India are to 591 for 6 in their first innings after the lunch break on the second day of the third and final cricket Test against Pakistan on Sunday.

"Spunky Sourav Ganguly Scores Back to Back Centuries for the Second Time"

First it was at Lords, and now it had to happen at Bangalore.Back to back centuries from the Prince of Kolkata! It took eleven years for the feat to occur again, but how many people can boast of having achieved the feat that Dada did. They are a modicum.
While his inning at Kolkata was a watchful one, and wasn't as fluent as was todays, Ganguly today looked in supreme command right from ball no.1. There were absolutely no stutters at any point. Today's inning no doubt was ultra special for two reasons; One, because it was his 2nd consecutive ton, and two, most importantly because it came at a juncture when things looked pretty gloomy for India. This man is known for looking adversity in the eye whenever he's faced by it. Whenever he looks like being excluded from the team he comes back with something stupefying. He's proven that he's here to stay for as long as he desires. There's a lot of spunk still left in the man.
He was ably supported by the electrifying Yuvraj and then there was no looking back. Whatever little chances Pakistan had of dominating the match were bulldozed by these two juggernauts. There seems to a double century waiting in the wings for Dada. All Dada has to do is play with the same application and poise as he did today. Way to go Dada!
The series is virtually India's now as it seems unlikely that Pakistan can go on to win the match no matter how well they play, ofcourse unless India blunders big time. Kudos to the two Princes and the Indian Cricket team.

SEO Tips - Link Building for New Domains

Link Building for New Domains-SEO Tips

New websites are given a probationary status within Google, known as the Google Sandbox. Sites can remain in the Google Sandbox, for up to 9 months with high levels of filtering being applied, leading to poor Google organic search ranking for competitive terms.
To escape the Google Sandbox requires the acquisition of quality one way links from trusted sources and a careful approach to website SEO and in particular reciprocal linking. Unnatural link building trends and the usage of similar link anchor text can lead to a lower level of Google trust being applied to your site resulting in an extension of the Sandbox period.
Whilst in the Sandbox, Google assesses your web site's link acquisition trends, checks for unnatural SEO activities, gauges website content quality and assigns trust. Google likes to see one way links being acquired by new websites as these are a positive indicator of content quality and originality.

WHAT IS SSI?

WHAT IS SSI?
You may have noticed as you browse this site, that our pages end with the shtml extension instead of the more familiar html or htm. This is because we use Server Side Includes (SSI). Used properly, the SSI can help make your pages more responsive and can even help make maintaining your site an easier task.
Put simply, SSI is sort of like using your HTML server as a cut and paste editor. Here is basically what happens when your server handles a request for an SSI document.
The server reads the document and parses (techie word for chops up and looks for special instructions) it for directives. (another techie word for directions!)
Follows the instructions that it finds and merges their results into creating a finished document.
The document is then sent to the client browser.
SSI also seems to be one of the better kept secrets around. In any web related book, they seem to get about 1 page for every 200 pages on CGI and FORMS. Well, I've never been one to leave you in the dark when it comes to being a better webmaster
