The Yahoo! Search Engine

Posted on Monday 18 August 2008

Yahoo! is one of the most popular engines on the web and is second only to Google Search. It started out as a subject directory for sites. It has now grown into a search engine, directory and portal.

In February 2004, Yahoo! introduced its own search engine database (up to then it had used other vendors’ databases) from which the bulk of its results are sourced.

When you use Yahoo! Search, you will also encounter a few internal links and some sponsored links or ads. Some of the Yahoo’s databases include web pages, images, video, audio, sponsor results, local search, MyYahoo etc.

The Yahoo Search’s biggest advantage is that it has a comprehensive and unique search database. It also includes cached copies of pages and supports full boolean searching and wild card characters in the key phrases.

Another good feature is that it includes internal links to the Yahoo Directory. The not so good facts are that it does not support features like truncation, indexes only the first 500KB of a page and follows the paid inclusion method for indexing of web pages.

Can blogs benefit SEO or SEM?

Posted on Friday 15 August 2008

So can blogs benefit your SEO or SEM cause? The answer is yes!

A great benefit of blogs is their ability to link freely with each other, much more than usually done by websites. They also allow easy incorporation of text, audio and video, all these elements help to attract more incoming links.

The easy addition of widgets and plug-ins also makes it easy to share your content, encouraging traffic and link backs. Some blog softwares can even be fine tuned to create simple URLs, simplifying the job of search engine bots to find and crawl their content.

Fresh content is rewarded by visitors and search engines alike with frequent, repeated visits. This means that search engines crawl your site more frequently, making your new content instantly searchable.

Unique features of blogs such as comments and track-backs allow interaction between visitors. This creates an active blog community which is rewarded with citations (contextually relevant, annotated links) by other sites which leads to another reward, high search engine rankings. By recommending the blog on other blogs, forums and even in their own blogs, loyal readers of blogs can immensely boost a blog’s visibility.

If you don’t have a blog for your business website yet, you should consider having one installed. For ideas on what to write on your blog, take a look look at your competitor sites and blogs to get inspiration.

Make the most out of Banner Ads.

Posted on Thursday 14 August 2008

A Banner Ad is a graphical web advertising unit, with a typical size of 468 x 60 pixels. Without doubt, they are one of the most dominant forms of online advertising.

The 468 x 60 sized banner ads have been widely accepted, and it is quite easy for buyers to secure placements on sites and likewise, publishers can accept the ads of most advertisers. Initially, the performance of a banner ad was judged on the basis of the click through rates (CTR), which were much higher in the early years of the internet, most probably due to the novelty factor.

Banner Ads used to be expensive on many networks, but as other forms of click through advertising were invented the cost of the traditional banner advertising has gone down. A combination of good ad placement and design on a banner advertisement can produce a decent CTR and that’s reason enough to consider adding in banner ads to your marketing campaign.
