Is Google Custom Search Engine a new SEO Tool or Threat

Filed Under: Joomla, Joomla Seo, Optimization, SEO, Webdesign

Google has brought us webmasters a new and exicting tool !

Google Custom Search Engine, with this option you can promote some websites you think should be better found because of the content they have on a the specific subject of your website.

You think they don't get enough results on that special search term, but you know there content is of high quality and they should be in the top results……

Well, now you can help those website to get into the top, on your own search engine that is…

The process of creating and implementing the Google Custom Search Engine is pretty simpel, leave it to Google to make it work that way.

I even placed it in my pathos-seo.com Joomla website without any problems
And there is also a Tutorial on How to Integrate Google CSE Custom Search Engine in Joomla

So, a new cool feature..
But what is in it for Google?

  1. They get to Us with a new feature we can use, so we give them credit for it , so they create some Goodwill.
  2. Google gets an extra platform from us to place their Adwords Adsense promotionel links, that brings (us* and) them more money….
  3. We provide them with highly rated websites on specifick keywords….they analyse their database and find there are some websites with authority that people put into the sites section of there custom search eninge…social networking on a new level…
  4. The database gives better search results, that benefit us all.

So if your website is stored in the favorites sites section of a Custom Search Engine, does that boost you ranking?
If so, how many links do you need?

How much weight does it get in the long run, and do our Search Engine Optimization technics still bring the same results?

Is it a new factor we should look at as a Blessing, a Tool or a Threat?

* If you have an adsense account and set the right option in your control panel. 

Why are Search Engine Spiders so Important

Filed Under: Search Engines

Why are Spiders so Important

Spiders are one of the two the most important programs for Internet Search Engines.

A Spider, or Robot or Crawler, is a piece of program that the search engines send out into the web.
They read page after page, follow hyperlinks to other sites and read and read and read….
All what the read goes into their Back Pack end is taken back to the Search Engine at came from and give his food to his family.

Alls these pages out of the Back Pack are off great value for the Search Engines, it is going to be their “Content”.
Search engines run their other important program (their algorithm) to index and sort and rank the pages.
Based on the results of these calculations are the pages that you get served when you do a search on the main page of sites like, Yahoo, Google, MSN etc…

Naturally, the better the combination of Spider and Algorithm, the better your search result will be.

So what do you feed these important spiders?

Simple, content…high quality content …
Af course this is always the base to get good rankings.

But you can help them even better, by providing them keywords that they can use to put your pages on the right search word result page.
Feed them a proper description of the page, so they can use that instead of boiling up their own.

But still, even better use your HTML tags like < h1 > and make the important texts stand out like “Bold” or “Italic” and even “underline”.
And sometimes-, and use these sparingly, give it a Yellow background to highlight that very special Item.

Spider and Search Engines give them also the proper importance when they find those tags.

I hope I give you some inside on the importance and relation of spiders and your search engine ranking.

Write your Page Description

Filed Under: SEO for Your Website

Making Your First Impression on Your Visitor.

The Description tag is what people read on the Search Engine Results Page.

So make sure this First Impression is bringing in Your Visitor.

The Description Tag is right up there in the Search Engine!!

If you look at your own way of searching in Google, Bing, or Yahoo, you will probably do the same thing most of us do.

You will search on one keyword or more and check the results…

What do You check to see if the site has the information you want?

What do you read right there on the results page?

Exactly!! The lyrics are right below the Title of the Page you got served…

And what is the Site You will most likely visit First?
And again Right on the Money, You see NOW why this description is so important!!

NOTE: Google might serve you a portion of the page, a paragraph, or a text part.

But if there is no real part that is special on the site, you WILL get the description.o write your description with the keywords you seek and you use on the page.
But take time to write that First Impression!!

Make sure you talk to your visitor right there!! So YOU will have the site they want to visit FIRST.

First Impression of Early Microsoft years

So did You also Look at this Picture First, before reading the Text?
And what was your First Impression then of these Guys and Girls?

P.s. You must at least recognize Bill Gates in the bottom left corner.

Do It Yourself Site SEO for Joomla Optimization

Search Engines and Joomla

Greatly Improve Joomla Websites with Search Engine Optimization

When I build my first Joomla site, it was pretty easy, at least that's what I thought.

I Read everything about Sections, Categories, Components, Modules, and Mambots.
Also about the Free Joomla Templates, which many of you are still seeking.

The best thing was, I got my site online, filled it with rich content, after all, everybody knows now ‘Content is King' and Voilà, ready..they will come!

Pages were read, every day after going live, the Joomla statistics showed me how many hits every page got!
Until I got hold off a free external Statistics Counter……
After a week I figured it out, the one person reading my pages was ME!

Getting the right visitors

This site is up and running to prevent You from making the same mistake.
You need to optimize your site so Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing can find you, index you with ease and get you to the positions you deserve.

You will find a ton of information about Search Engine Optimization SEO and SEF on this site, not only for Joomla but for every website that wants to rank high in every Search Engine.

There is a special section on SEO for Joomla with Search Engine Optimization Information for this Cms.

Joomla SEF

Why is this Search Engine Friendly ( SEF ) so important for a Site that runs a Content Management System?
And is this really that important?

First, for some search engine spiders, it is still very difficult to index dynamic URLs.
So a URL that reads like
http://www.domeinname.com/index.php?component_name&SectionID=1
Is really not going to be indexed as well as:
https://www.diysiteseo.com/joomla-seo-optimization/the-best-joomla-sef-component.html

Which has more of the keywords in the URL and doesn't have strange things like ? & and + in it.

Don't forget, all the information on this site is focused on Quality Content, not Black Hat optimization !!
