Search Engine Optimization Tips that Will Help You Avoid Search Engine Blindness, Penalties and Disqualification


Search engine blindness -Image maps, graphic images, "Flash" sites, and JavaScript are all invisible to most crawler-based search engines. Another blind spot for a lot of search engine crawlers are frames.


Goldranking.com can incorporate alternative and attractive cures for search engine blindness, which can result in a higher search engine ranking. Depending on exactly which offending factors are present we might consider the placing keyword/text hyperlinks at the bottom of web pages are highly visible and relevant to search engine crawlers. Getting the attention of the robots, scooters and spiders that crawl a web site is key and placing or allowing coding barriers is search engine positioning suicide.


Another cure for search engine blindness is to develop a site map, with keyword/text hyperlinks and to submit to the search engines. Of course meta tags and titles can help overcome a host of search engine visibility problems, though they are in no way a single magic key. Placing keywords in alt tags, title tags and comment tags is also suggested.


Search engine crawler penalties and disqualification: Some search engines will penalize or even disqualify a particular web page from indexing and ranking if they determine that the web site is trying to unfairly misrepresent its actual content. Misrepresentation of content is often evidenced by exaggerated unnatural repetition of keywords in the text, ungrammatical repetition of keywords in the text, excess density, or ratio of keywords in the text to all words in the text, and the hidden keywords within an identical background color, rendering them invisible to humans, but visible to search engines. Such tactics are commonly referred to as "spamming the engines" or "spamdexing".


Finally, the repeated over-submission of a web page to a search engine will often disqualify it from search engine rankings.
