Each section of the web page review will also give you advice or feedback on how well you are doing. For example, blog.lunarpages.com has a Google PageRank of 6 – so they told me:

Now that Bing and Yahoo are teaming up with search, having your web site optimized for Microsoft’s new search engine is even more important. While browsing through some of Bing’s webmaster documentation, I found a way you an submit your sitemap to them – in one single easy step. All you need to do is copy and paste this into your address bar, replacing the sitemap URL path with your own.
If done successfully, you will get a message that says, “Thanks for submitting your sitemap”. For those of you who like to keep up with more data, you can also submit your site map to Bing by signing up or logging into the Bing Webmaster Tools section. From there you can get access to more tools, like the keyword research tool, the HTTP verifier, and the robots.txt validator. Related Tips and Tricks:

Have you setup your Google profile? A while back, Google started to show profiles in their search results, so if you want to make sure somebody is able to find you – it might be a good idea to set up or update your own Google profile. To get started, go to Google’s create a profile page, and click on the create my profile button. From there, you can list your name, upload a photo, give a description about yourself, list your super powers (what, you don’t have super powers?), list your web site links and so much more. The above picture is an example of my own profile on Google. Once you are done, it might take a while, but you should start showing up as a result at the bottom of your Google search for your own name. Here is mine, as another example:
So there you have it. That is one more easy way to make sure people find you and your web sites when searching via Google. Related Tips and Tricks:

We are currently gearing up to open Beta Testing for our new VPS using the power of Citrix Xen Virtualization!!! There is limited space available, so we will handle requests in first come first serve fashion. The Beta VPS will be free for the time of the beta. Testers will have the option to choose what OS they would like to use, for free during the course of the Beta. These new Virtual Private Servers will have guaranteed 512MB Ram, 20GB Hard Disk and one IP address. These servers can be fully updated, and are completely independent of the host server’s OS and each other. With the nature of these Virtual Private Servers, the memory and hard drive CAN NOT be upgraded at this time. We currently have the following Operating Systems Available for testing:
While the VPS Servers themselves are free, if you require a control panel, they may not be. Below is a breakdown of control panels that are available. We will have a special support desk open for any problems that may arise during the Beta that will address only issues related to the VPS function. If issues are caused by the control panel, or software related issues please use the dedicated desk. At this time there is no phone support for available. Related Tips and Tricks:

You could easily submit your domain name to their webmaster tools section. How do you do that? Let me show you. First, you will want to go to the webmaster tools page, and login using your MSN login information. (Yes, even I forgot I had a Hotmail account!). Once you login, here is what things look like:
As you can see you can easily add your e-mail address, web site address and sitemap address. Once you do that, you have several different ways you can verify your ownership of the web site you submit. Much like Google’s and Yahoo!’s webmaster tools, you can embed some code, or download a file to upload to your web site. Once you get that done, then you should get a profile for your domain:
They provide a lot of good information that will give you details on how your domain is being crawled by Bing. You get your site status, crawl issues, backlinks, outbound links, a keyword tool and more. I also look forward to seeing what else they add here to catch up with Google’s webmaster tools service – as it is the current leader of the pack. Related Tips and Tricks:

SearchWiki allows anyone with a Google account to change the order of search results and make notes about each result in Google. Once logged into a Google account, you’ll notice that the search results have two small icons next to the listings that can be used to promote or remove a result. By promoting a result, you can bring the site above other results on the page.
You can learn more about the SearchWiki by watching the Google SearchWiki team’s video. Now, this is hardly news to many of you out there. We covered Google’s Promote Feature in early December. What is interesting though, is the idea that Google’s index of results will be swayed by user input on the SearchWiki. On Google’s Official Blog announcement for SearchWiki,it mentions that: “The changes you make only affect your own searches.” While this is true directly, it’s not hard to imagine that Google will collectively use user input to influence search results and page ranking. Currently websites are listed in order on Google’s web page according to their super-duper secretive algorithm. Those in the search engine optimization industry have been trying to figure out this algorithm for very obvious reasons. If you can cheat the search engines and get a website listed on the front page for certain keywords, than you are able to get more traffic to your site, which generally equates to more revenue for web site owners and businesses. Microsoft’s search engine, although behind both Google and Yahoo, has something similar setup known as U Rank. Microsoft is also researching a system known as BrowseRank – which measures page importance by the number of visits made to a page and the time spent on each page by a user. I predict that Google will, in fact, use information gained by SearchWiki to calculate how web sites are ranked in the future. It’s easy to see how showing users web sites listed in order ranked by other users, with similar browsing habits and interests, would be beneficial. Overall, by taking in user feedback, Google should be able to provide more relevant information to its users. It will be interesting to see how this affects the search engine optimization industry, who has built itself around tricks and techniques to rank websites higher in the search engines. |
