  2. What is WebPositionGold? • A tool to evaluate web pages and suggest changes so pages will rate higher with the top search engines. • A tool to submit web pages to 19 of the top search engines. • A tool to keep your pages rating high on a continuing basis.

  3. Pervasive Myths: • Submitting web site pages to hundreds of search engines will result in thousands of new visitors (Note: Many engines are there primarily to collect email addresses). • Submitting once is enough. • Submitting numerous times increases your ratings. • Having a large set of meta tag keywords is all that is needed.

  4. Facts: • Meta tags are not a magic solution. • Each search engine uses different rating criteria - some use keywords & descriptions in meta tags - some do not. • Rating in the top ten hits with all the search engines is next to impossible. • 95 percent of all searches are done via less than 20 search engines – hence optimize your pages to a few engines. • WebPositionGold helps optimize pages to specific search engines – hence helps insure high ratings on these engines.

  5. More Facts: • Choosing a correct set of keyword phrases is paramount to success. • Rarely use single keywords – most searches two or three word phrases (cheap flights; RV Rentals Annapolis). • Use the plural form of keywords. • Case Sensitivity – Insure you page has both lower and uppercase versions of the the primary keywords. • Think like the visitor you want to attract – ask friends what keywords they would use to search for your site.

  6. Still More Facts: Page design and layout is important. • If your opening page has frames, some engines will not find anything else on your site. • If you use frames, put links and text in a <no frames> section. • On each page include a link back to your home page and/or previous page.

  7. Even More Facts: • Clearly describe the contents of each page in the meta description tag – it is displayed in the search results screen by most engines. • Place primary keywords in the Title, Meta Tag, Heading, Link Text and Body (listed in decreasing level of importance to most search engines). • Place primary keywords close to the top of the page or at the start of the area in which the keyword appears. • Get as many other sites to link to yours as possible – some engines like that.

  8. Final Page of Facts: • Write Killer Page Titles - longer titles are generally better. • Make your titles and meta descriptions “compelling” and use upper and lower case – do not use all upper case. • Use primary key words within the URL can be given extra relevancy by some search engines – separate keywords in URLs with dashes or underscores. • Some engines may take several weeks for your submittal to be indexed by the engine – WebPostionGold tells you how long it may take.

  9. What’s Next Bubba? • Review your sites’ pages with the previously stated facts in mind. • Evaluate and select/format the primary keyword phrases that you know will bring desired users to your site. • Decide which engines to optimize for. • Use WebPositionGold to help you accomplish the above. • Update your pages and evaluate again. • Do not submit your pages until you have done your homework – then use WebPostionGold to do so. • Re-evaluate your pages monthly.

  12. What’s a “doorway” page? • A “doorway page” is any page that is optimized to rank well on a given search engine. • A “doorway page” for a given engine can be any page: your home page, product information page, etc. • The key is – it has the proper number of words, keywords and other variables to rank well one or more search engines.

  13. What is Page Critic? • The Page Critic component of Generator analyzes everything in either an existing page or one created by Page Generator – it evaluates how you used keywords on the page. • It offers specific advice or improving the page’s design and content to make it rate higher for the keyword set and engine being targeted. • Knowing how many times to repeat a keyword phrase and where to place keywords is the secret to high rankings.

  17. WebPositionGoldUsage Steps Step 6: More Follow up Evaluation: • Run the “Traffic Analyzer” to see: • number of new visitors attracted. • what keywords were used to find the site via what search engine. • Update submissions to all search engines using keywords that bring traffic. • Remove keywords that are not bringing traffic – move on to others that do bring traffic. • Optimize, Optimize, Optimize…
