Search engine optimization, or SEO, has really taken off over the last five years as more and more fledgling webmasters have created websites, only to find that noone comes to visit. As they search around for ways to get more visitors, most of them quickly find resources on how to optimize a web page for the search engines and go right to work sprinkling keywords everywhere and building links from any place they can get them. Business - All business/finance/loan/mortgage related link can be found here Computers - All computer hardware/software/peripheral related link can be found here Internet - All webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing related link can be found here Software - All software related link can be found here Web Design - All web design/development related link can be found here Web Hosting - All web hosting related link can be found here Web Promotion - All search engine optimization/internet marketing related link can be found here Web Resources - All other web related link can be found here Recreation - All travel/hotel/cruise related link can be found here Casino - All online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette related link can be found here Health - All online pharmacy/hospital/health related link can be found here Shopping - All online shopping/gift related link can be found here Miscellaneous - All other links can be found here
This causes problems for a search engine because, lets face it, you are trying to manipulate the search results and they are trying to avoid being manipulated. After all, just because YOU think your site is a great resource on a topic doesnt mean that it is. Google has already adjusted for the webmaster that is over-optimizing their website, and its called the Google "sandbox". The sandbox is a name that disgruntled webmasters have given to the situation where a new site that should rank well for a keyword is nowhere to be found in the rankings, only to suddenly appear one day several months down the road. What is this sandbox effect and what could cause it? |
