epheme Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'm not really in a position to pay for Google Ads or anything like that, but how are some ways to improve google ranking for your sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Oh my gosh, Google is almost impossible to crack. Check out Matt Cutt's site: www.mattcutts.com/blog - he's a bigwig at Google and blogs the latest changes in their ranking engines. I also subscribe to a few SEO newsletters that give good tips, that's if you have time to do research.The only surefire way I know of is to get linked. A lot, and not randomly. Don't just trade links with random people, or put your banner on link sites - you have to have relevant information that people link to for research purposes, or products where people recommend your products and link online.Sorry I couldn't be more help - Yahoo, MSN are not that hard, I've done consistently well with my search terms, but Google? It's a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 It's like beating a dead horse. Personally, I don't take any stock in meta tags at all. People will argue that they help, and will swear by the use of them. Google is good if you can afford to pay them, without it... who knows. I've never been worried about ranking.

epheme Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 dang. Well, if you google my company name, that's great. I'm #1, although it's actually a RSS feed of my blog on another site. if people don't know the company name, i'm virtually un-findable. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yes, beating a dead horse is a good way to put it. Unless there aren't many candle shops in the world, the only way you could show up on page 1 if someone typed "candles" would be to go through a whole lot of trouble and expense to get yourself there.

epheme Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks for those links, BTW. I found out some really interesting things. And yeah, I agree, it's like beating a dead horse. Good luck, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
