			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Keywords in the overall content of a website are reliable clues for search engine spiders to search for the site. That is why; SEO professionals optimize the pages of websites and webpage components like text, images, titles, meta tags, meta descriptions. The URLs of websites too are optimized with the keywords in keeping with the site content to make crawling and indexing the sites easy for search engine robots. Sites with keyword-optimized URLs are no doubt search engine friendly. I wish search engine optimizers to learn three basic tips on how to create search engine friendly URLs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-404"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A myriad of ways is there to create a URL using underscores or dashes or capital words. The place of underscores and dashes in a URL that is between the words of the URL is the same. Both of them are equally visible to the search engine spiders. However, the search spider is responsive to the URLs with dashes more than the URLs with underscores. Dashes additionally enhance the readability of URLs making it easier to understand each word. Words with dashes in between in URLs are easier to type in the search bar of a browser. The loading efficiency of websites with such URLs is greater to enhance the user experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Web pages with descriptive URLs peppered with keywords that are used in the content of the pages get easily crawled by search engine crawlers. The optimized title tag of a webpage can be the base for the URL of the page. Keywords in the URLs should be reflective of the webpage content. URLs that are easy to read and remember are user-friendly. If the URL no matter how long it is, is easy to remember, it keeps on fetching traffic to the website. And, the site ranks higher in search result pages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dynamic URLs resemble a jumble of numbers or letters. Websites that are developed on a content management system take dynamic URLs. Search engine spiders face hard times while crawling and indexing web pages with such URLs. Static URLs are more search engine friendly than dynamic ones. You can use mod rewrites to create search engine friendly URLs. It requires you to have a bit of technical know-how. Create URLs for your web pages ensuring convenience for the user. A keyword rich and descriptive URL is one of the tricks to invite the search engine crawler to crawl your website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure having descriptive, optimized, easy-to-remember URLs for your web pages to ensure a pickup in the page ranking of the website. Don’t forget to share your experience with me…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In the present times of internet technology, a website is the second-to-none platform to spread your wings.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-393"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Proper selection of a domain name for your website and its optimization with specific keywords relating to your purpose makes the site friendly with search engines. Domain names peppered with keywords that match with popular search phrases are easily crawlable by search engine bots.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Websites save small sites should have a directory edifice.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Search engine bots find it difficult to locate websites with frames. Make sure to have your site designed and developed with no frames. Websites with frames take time to load. Slow-loading sites no doubt lag behind fast-loading sites in search engine result pages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A website with outer CSS manner sheets is free of complexities that pose obstacles to the path of search engine crawlers. Include CSS manner sheets in the locate of your website to ensure efficient crawling of the site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Select a hosting source that provides 99% uptime to ensure the locate of your website within the reach of search engine spiders. In such a case, your site is very search engine friendly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure reducing the use of too much graphics on the locate of your website. Proper balance between graphics and content is a boost to the crawling and loading efficiency of your site. Have a site with graphics and content on balance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Smooth and steady flow of traffic to a website is the key to the higher page ranking of the website in search engines. There are numerous measures on the search engine optimization of websites. Much of the stress from SEO professionals falls on hardcore SEO tricks and techniques. However, whatever boosts the quantity and quality of traffic to websites is a SEO strategy. Hence, the hosting services are important traffic boosters from SEO perspectives. What you should keep in mind while selecting hosting services is the following- </P></p>
<p align="justify">The IP address of the server is one of the important SEO factors to keep in mind. The IP address of a website represents the country where the server of the website is located. Google’s Algorithm examines the country of the server to take the country of the server into account. It has a bearing on the search engine results in case of localized search. So, make sure to choose a unique IP address for your website. </P></p>
<p align="justify">Some plugins of the web server bear immense importance for website optimization in search engines. For instance, URL Rewriting modules have great impact on the URL structures of websites. In addition, keeping the server of your website updated is immensely important from SEO standpoint. Make it must to check if the hosting service provider keeps updating your site’s server.  </P>             </p>
<p align="justify">Round the clock availability of servers is a boost to the traffic to websites. Unusual capacity to bear the load of traffic is a need of search engine friendly web servers. You may end up losing potential visitors if your site’s server is not responsive to traffic. Be sure of having your website hosted on a highly-responsive server.    </P></p>
<p align="justify">Servers that download the pages of websites in a minimum of time are friendly with search engines. The speed of downloading web pages matters to the enhancement of the user experience. Factors like bandwidth, server hardware and content type determine the loading efficiency of websites and webpage components. Optimize your site’s URL structure and reduce the number of HTTP requests from the browser to the server in order to cut down the loading time. The richer the user experience is the higher is the page ranking of websites.      </P></p>
<p align="justify">The server with a number of sites hosted on it is slow to respond to the browser. In addition, Google seems to consider such servers to be suspicious. Avoid using the server that host many sites at the same time. Or else, using Reverse IP Lookup tools can help you avoid facing negative effects of such servers. Before you choose a particular hosting service provider, check the features of the service package like how many email accounts and subdomains you can have, how many emails you can send a day and how many plugins you can add to the site.       </P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img src="http://blog.seotown.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/seo-logo2-300x196.jpg" alt="seo logo" title="seo logo" width="300" height="196" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-363" />Business owners were initially concerned with their identity and entity in the world of the World Wide Web. The visibility of their websites in search engines is now a prime concern with them. The fact that without search engine optimization, web presence is not enough to get recognized online is no longer implicit to business owners from the search marketing industry. With rising numbers of websites in competition over higher page ranking in search engines, traditional modes of search engine optimization are already out of date.  </P></p>
<p align="justify">Known as universal search, blended search has updated the way of traditional search engines to present information on specific queries of the user. In case of blended search, search engines present organic listings with separate tabs for web results, local results, image results, news results, blog results, video results, book results and shopping results to click on by the user. This search mode accounts for above 57% of total organic results. One of the benefits of blended search is that search engines return a text list of not only web documents but also images and videos for a given search query. A great opportunity for internet marketers to make the most of, blended search incorporates blogging sites, press release sites and social media sites.         </P></p>
<p align="justify">Search engine optimization has gone a long way to work for online reputation of website owners. Social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn are prestigious platforms for online reputation. Profiles of prominent personalities if optimized with adherence to SEO principals make their way to search result pages in case of blended search. </P></p>
<p align="justify">Vertical search is on the roll these days. Search queries for a particular type of information are the focus of vertical search. Sites such as Fandango, Flickr, WebMd, and Flickr are to name a few among vertical search engines. These sites are heavily trafficked. YouTube is the most popular vertical search engine that allows its users to search for information in a particular format. Therefore, the concept of video content development and optimization has come into being to reach a large number of YouTube users. </P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Fixing a problem associated with semi-transparent true color PNGs in IE versions is the chief end of the IE-proprietary AlphaImageLoader filter. The problems that the use of this filter poses lead to the drawbacks in the performance of websites. It blocks the rendering of the page and causes freezing of the browser the time when a component is being downloaded. It multiplies the problem triggering the rate of memory consumption. The best address to the problem is to avoid using AlphaImageLoader and make the use of PNG8 instead.    </p>
<p align="justify">Web pages with optimized images load at faster pace. Optimizing the images that are to be inserted in the pages of your website can ensure the loading efficiency of the website. Check the GIFs of the images to make sure if they use a palette size that corresponds to a number of colors. Images having four colors and a 256 color slots in the palette need to be optimized.  Converting GIFs into PNGs can help you out. GIFs are neither true colors nor support variable transparency. PNGs are not only safe to use but also more useful than GIFs. Use pngcrush to optimize PNGs and jpegtran to optimize JPEGs.  These optimizing tools remove unnecessary comments and useless information from the image files. </P></p>
<p align="justify">Horizontal not vertical arrangement of the images in the sprite ensures a smaller file size. A sprite with similar colors in a combination keeps the color volume and count low. A sprite with gaps between the images makes pages larger in size. That is why optimizing CSS sprites is necessary to ensure the fast-loading of pages.</P></p>
<p align="justify">The root of servers is the place where the favicon.ico that is an image stays. The browser keeps sending requests with cookies for it to the server. Evidently, it slows down the loading of websites hosted on that particular website. This image interferes with the downloading of other webpage components. The favicon.ico gets downloaded before the downloading of other components. Keep this image small and cacheable to reduce the number of HTTP requests. You can consider using Imagemagick to create small favicon.ico images.  </P></p>
<p align="justify">Create web pages with components packed into a multipart document that acts like an email with several attachments. It lets the browser download many components with only one HTTP requests. Check if your browser is supportive of this document before using the technique.</P></p>
<p align="justify">Have a go at these tips and tricks, tactics and techniques to seep up the performance of your website so that the site can rank higher in search engine result pages. Don’t forget to share your experience if they are of use for your benefit.    </P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">A complex page  with more bytes slows down the DOM access to JavaScript files.   A large number of DOM elements indicate the need to improve something  with the markup of the page. It does not make removing content necessary.  There is a better way other than using nested tables to do the markup  and fix layout issues. The YUI CS utilities can serve these purposes.  For instance, grids.css is useful for the overall layout; you can strip  away the formatting of the browser’s defaults with fonts.css and reset.css. </p>
<p align="justify">Iframes facilitate  the insertion of HTML document in the parent document. The effective  use of iframes increases the loading efficiency of websites. The application  of iframes allows downloading scripts in parallel, makes sure security  sandbox and helps with third-party components like ads and badgets.  However, using iframes is not free of downsides. Minimizing the number  of iframes is a boost to the loading of pages one by one. </p>
<p align="justify">A 404 Not Found  is a useless response that at times results from making excess HTTP  requests. It is not only unnecessary but also the bane of website performance.  Though 404s are sometimes user-friendly, they waste server resources.  A 404 results also from a wrong link to an external JavaScript. It blocks  parallel downloads and the browser may take time to parse the 404 response.  No 404s means no delay in downloading of pages. </p>
<p align="justify">There are several  reasons like personalization and authentication for the use of HTTP  cookies. HTTP headers between web browsers and servers exchange and  store information about cookies.  Keeping the size of cookies to  a minimum is important to improve the response time of users. Make sure  eliminating unnecessary cookies or setting them at the proper domain  level. Set an appropriate expire date to remove cookies from time to  time. </p>
<p align="justify">Web servers  do not respond to the requests that browsers send with cookies for static  components. It is must to make sure that your browser makes cookie-free  requests for static components. Create a sub-domain to host all static  components there. If <a href="http://www.example.org/" target="_blank">www.example.org</a> is your domain, use <a href="http://static.example.org/" target="_blank">static.example.org</a> to host static components. For instance, YouTube uses <a href="http://ytimg.com/" target="_blank">ytimg.com</a>, Yahoo  uses <a href="http://yimg.com/" target="_blank">yimg.com</a> and Amazon uses <a href="http://images-amazon.com/" target="_blank">images-amazon.com</a>. Using a cookie-free  domain to host static components stimulates the functional capacity  of websites. </p>
<p align="justify">Pages are sometimes  less responsive to the requests of browsers for servers due to more  than a requisite number of event handlers that remain attached to various  elements of the DOM tree. That is why it is a good option to use event  delegation. Use only one event handler for ten buttons inside a div  and avoid using one handler for each of the buttons. The onload event  does not keep you waiting to use the DOM tree in order to do something.  What you need most is an accessible element in the tree. Consider using  DOMContentLoaded instead of onload. Make sure reducing the number of  event handlers and developing smart event handlers for a pickup in website  performance. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With the rampant rise in the use of the internet, search engine optimization has become a must for website promotion, internet marketing, social media optimization and ecommerce activity as well. Ecommerce has grown complex in use with its rising popularity. To avoid the hurdles of using ecommerce sites, a number of search engine friendly shopping carts have emerged. I have assorted the best five of shopping carts for your benefit. These carts are optimizable with SEO measures to be in tune with search engines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among open source shopping cart, <strong>OpenCart </strong> is search engine friendly. Installing and configuring this shopping cart is remarkably easy. The front end features an impeccably beautiful layout. It comes with such payment gateway options as Paypal, Worldpay and Sagepay. It takes only half an hour to install the cart and display products. The back end of the cart is intuitively designed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>PrestaShop</strong> is a lightweight and scalable shopping cart. It comes with a great support forum for online shopping. Installing and configuring the cart takes a little while. Uploading this cart takes a bit longer time than other carts. The layout of the back end features a brilliant design. It is easy to manage with a wad of features. Creating categories and categorizing products is highly convenient. Activating a setting in the admin generates search engine friendly URLs for the shopping cart.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Magento</strong> is supposed to determine the future of ecommerce. It is simply beautiful in layout with quality design. Loading the site after installing is efficient save a few pages are slow to load. Though this ecommerce shopping cart is in tune with search engines, its site performance is poor. Multiple URLs per products is a negative aspect of Magento. This cart is available in free versions for the use of mass in millions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cubecart</strong> is all the rage as a search engine friendly shopping cart. It is absolutely hassle free to install this cart. It is fairly fast in loading. However, lack of some functional features that other shopping carts come with is a negative facet of Cubecart. It is a free ecommerce site for online shopping. Cubecart comes with a great community because of its outstanding performance. But the back end is far from being impressive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To name among very good SEO friendly shopping carts is Ubercart. Drupal CMS is the base of this shopping cart. It facilitates integrating online shopping functionality with ecommerce sites. If considered from a SEO perspective, it offers several benefits. Installing the Drupal CMS is the only drawback of using this cart. It offers users manual control over each and every file.</p>
