TOP REASON WHY YOU DONT GET LISTED IN SEARCH ENGINES

After you have compiled your website and hosted it, your primary concern is that it should be visited by, more and more people. For this, you try various tactics to promote your site. One way of promoting your website is to submit it with various search engines.

At times, you have submitted your website to the search engine, but you find that you are not indexed or in other words, your site is not appearing in the searches. There could be many reasons for it. Let's look at some of these reasons:

1. Allocate adequate time - After submission, indexing a website is a time consuming process. Some people in hurry to be indexed, ignore this time period and start expecting their site to appear in the search results, much before the time lapses. Actually, this index time ranges from one to eight weeks depending on the search engine. Some sites such as AltaVista also charge extra if you want to get your site indexed faster.

2. Use Paid Domains - If you have hosted your site on a free domain, you may come across problems in indexing your site. This is because nowadays the search engines either don't index free sites or index only a limited number of free sites. Therefore, it is always better to host your website on a paid domain with a paid service.

3. Select creditable hosting service: It is very important to host your website with a good hosting service. This is because if at any stage the search engine visits your website and finds that it is not functioning then your website will be simply removed from their database. Therefore, make sure your hosting service is a creditable one, which keeps your website up and running most of the time.

4. Frame-based site - Having a frame-based website can also be a roadblock. In a frame-based site, there are different pages in the same page. As a result, it can happen that your text page is indexed but not the menu page. To solve this problem, you should ideally have a non-frame based website. If not then you can try optimizing your frame-based website for a better result.

5. Low Ranking in Searches - It is quite possible that you are indexed on a search engine but you are not aware of it. This could be because your site is getting a very low ranking in the search results. Most people expect that their site to come up in the first few listings. As a result, if their site does not do so then they don't bother to look further and assume that their site is not indexed. Matters are not helped by the fact that most search engines don't inform you after indexing your website.

To get a good ranking in the search results it is important for you to optimise your website according to the search engine guidelines.

6. In-complete Website - Before submitting your website ensure that your site is complete and there are no missing pages. Otherwise, your website may not get indexed.

7. Avoid complicated pages - Sometimes in an effort to have a very dynamic website web developers use complicated scripts such as JavaScript and VB scripts etc. However, the search engines don't always handle these dynamic pages well. As a result, your site could suffer and get a low ranking in search engine results. Therefore, it is advisable to limit the use of such scripts on your site.

8. Link pages from home page - Some search engines follow the policy that they don't show pages which cant be accessed from the home page. To avoid this kind of a problem you can try to limit such pages or submit them separately.

9. Limit page size: Take care that your website pages don't become so heavy that they take a long time to load. In such a case, the search engine spider will not be able to fully index your content. Generally, it is recommended to keep your web pages around 50 k and with images etc. around 70 k. This criterion has been set particularly in view of the users still using the dial-up connection.

10. Link your site externally - Another guideline which some search engines such as Google follow is that they don't index sites which don't have external links with other sites. At times, they even allocate you a time period of around 30 days to get the external links. If you are not successful then your site may get pruned. You can also take the help of a free service to check the popularity of your website links through http://www.linkpopularitycheck.com

11. Maintain quality: Make sure that you keep a quality control over your website. This is particularly important in cases where you are submitting your website to directory site like Yahoo, Open Directory, Looksmart etc. This is because, at these sites, they have personnel who carefully analyze the submissions, and omit any, which do not have a good quality.

12. Search Engine spider blocks - If your website requires forms, passwords or registration for access then the search engine spiders will not be able to index it. This is also the case with sites having a searchable database. In such a scenario, you can try to submit those web pages on your site which are simple and don't have these complications.

13. Sharing IP - Nowadays another problem that you can face is that sometimes the website hosting services give the same IP to multiple websites. As a result, if any one of these websites, using the same IP is involved in any illegal dispute then the search engine de-bars the IP itself making all the associated sites suffer. Therefore, make sure that you have an independent IP and are not sharing it with anyone.

14. Submitting within limit: Some search engines have limits for accepting submissions, for a particular domain, per day. Therefore, before submitting check that you are within limit prescribed for your domain or your submission will go waste.

15. Limit non-indexable content: It is important that you submit only the kind of content that the search engines can index. For example, search engines cannot index embedded text, content in media files, Java applets or in XML coding.

16. Submit link pages separately: Search engines don't take the trouble to fully index your website. They will simply index, one or two links further than the page that you have submitted. Therefore, if you want some particular pages to be indexed it is advisable to submit them separately.

17. Avoid using spam - It is very important to develop your website with full sincerity. Spam, is very seriously looked down upon by the search engines. Make sure that your site is spam free and you don't use any tactic, which can be considered spam such as, excessive repetition of keywords etc.

18. Avoid redirecting: If your website is redirecting the viewer to another site then at times this can hamper your indexing process. This is because search engines are wary of being tricked by "cloaking" or IP redirection technology. If they find out that this is the case then you can be sure that they will not index your site.

19. Allow for fluctuations in index time: You will not believe it but there have been cases when the search engines, after indexing sites for some time suddenly stop doing so for months on end for no particular reason. They do restart the process after some time but the wait can get quite frustrating for the web developers. You can however, try to find out the real-world situation through http://www.marketposition.com

20. Technical errors: Besides all these, there are also some technical reasons because of which websites don't get indexed. These may include technical bugs and errors that arise from the sheer magnitude of the submissions and re-submissions that people make.

21. Submit limited pages: Most search engines have some kind of limits for the number of pages that they will index for each site. The quantity varies from engine to engine. However, if your website is very popular then the search engines stretch this limit for you.

Keep all these guidelines in mind while you are submitting your website to any search engine and allocate ample time for the indexation process.

5 THINGS THAT MAKE US FAT

There is only one thing that makes people fat, and that is excess calories. It takes a deficit or surplus of 3,500 calories to lose or gain one single pound of body fat. That deficit or surplus is decided by three factors. The first is your resting metabolic rate (RMR); everyone burns a certain number of calories just living and breathing. The two remaining factors are calories taken in from the food and beverages you consume and calories burned through physical activity. What is left is a caloric surplus (weight gain) or deficit (weight loss). Many people gain weight because they consume calories that go unrecognized or because they don't consider how small amounts of calories can add up.

Here are the top five things that can make you fat:

1-Coffee-You may be thinking, "How can coffee make me fat?" After all, it's only water and caffeine, which has no calories. Enter what I call "the Starbucks effect.' Today, many people have become addicted to flavored, oversized coffee drinks and their high-caloric content. If you think your Starbucks coffee run is harmless, consider that a Venti Mocha Frappucino® has 346 calories, a Venti Caramel Macchiato® with whole milk has 312 calories, and even a grande latte with non-fat milk packs over 200 calories. Every squirt of caramel, mocha, or other flavorings will cost you approximately 75 calories; every sugar packet, another 25 calories. Those who find themselves making two daily runs to Starbucks (or any other coffee house) may be taking in over 500 calories a day on coffee drinks. Based on a five-day workweek, that's 2,500 calories a week or 10,000 calories a month. Over the course of a year, there are enough calories in your coffee indulgences to pack on over 34 pounds.

2-Alcohol-So you work hard, and your day is full of stress and pressure. When it's over, all you want to do is to sit down, relax, and have a drink or two to "take the edge off." Sound familiar? Millions of people rely on that glass of wine, a gin and tonic, or a martini to feel better at the end of the day. The average drink has approximately 150 calories, and if you happen to be partial to mixed or exotic drinks-like daiquiris, mojitos, cosmopolitans or other tasty libations-the calorie count is substantially higher. Two average drinks can cost you 300 calories a day or 2,100 calories a week. So drinking regularly can yield over 2 pounds per month and 24 pounds per year.

3-Low-Fat, Fat-Free, Low-Calorie, and Sugar-Free Foods-If you've tracked the increase of overweight and obese people in the United States, you might have noticed that it mirrors the proliferation of foods marketed to make us thin. For years we have been tricked into thinking that we can eat more and weigh less, but it doesn't work that way. If you want to weigh less, you have to eat less and move more. Read labels for calories per portion, and watch the size of your portions. Any time you eat directly out of a box or bag, you are setting yourself up for potential weight-gain. Try taking a portion or two out of the box or bag and putting it in a bowl.

4-Diets-Each year over 70 million people go on a diet to lose weight, but 95 percent of them will gain all the weight back. Most will gain even more weight than were trying to lose when they started the diet. There are three specific reasons that this happens. First, when you dramatically reduce your caloric intake, your body responds by protecting its fat stores by slowing down your resting metabolism. A lower metabolic rate means you will burn fewer calories at rest. Second, many diets reduce carbohydrates, which are the primary energy source needed for physical activity. This tends to make you fatigued and less likely to increase your activity. Third, many diets force your body to convert protein from your muscle tissue for energy. Lean muscle tissue is your body's fat-burning machinery and allows you to burn more calories at rest. When you lose weight, you want it to be from fat, not from lean muscle tissue.

5-Lack of Physical Activity-The number one reason people give for not exercising is time. We can't find time to exercise, yet the average person watches television for 4½ hours every day. It has been proven that small amounts of physical activity can have a big impact on your weight and your health. There are very inexpensive "low-sweat" solutions for increasing your physical activity that you can perform in as few as 10 to 15 minutes a day-while watching television. Little moves can create big results.

GOOGLE PAGE RANK

Ranking in Google is not as hard as it is constantly made out to be. A lot of forums will beat on about how difficult this is and that you have to be aware of all the algorithm workings before you get to the top of Page 1 on Google.

The truth is that to rank well for a very competitive market does take longer than if you were trying to rank for a small niche market but it is not difficult.
