So you want to know how your Joomla site is on SEO?

Filed Under: Joomla Seo

It has been a while since my latest post, but I really have been busy working on new website building projects.

So my time is already limited, because I do all this stuff on the Internet after my normal daytime job.

Why? because I like to share knowledge, get in touch with new idea’s and try them to see what happens, and of course communicate with others about Joomla and SEO.(See the Blog-roll for my favorites!)

But today I found a little website that will gives you an impression on how well your are doing with your SEO efforts.

You do have some idea from your visitor counts I hope! But here is the URL to get a really nice overview of SEO Information like:

  • PageRank
  • Backlinks
  • Indexed Pages
  • Rankings
  • Social Bookmarking
  • RSS Feed counts and more

So go and check your own domain at http://www.xinureturns.com/

Below you can find a sample image of one of my websites.

O, and yes, I will try to post more with the coming weeks and months to come… most will be on Joomla 1.5 I think!

The Big Four Search engine features compared

Filed Under: Search Engine

Well not a comparison as for the results pages, but one about which Search engines are giving which functionality in search, or specialized search.

First off, the links to the overview pages of the big four and their offerings:

The mean reason for this comparison was in the post Is Ask.com going for Web 2.0 Search.
I wanted to find out what kind of search results are offered by all the big four search engines and how this would possibly effect your Search Engine optimization efforts and directions.

Because a Blog optimization is different from a Shopping site of course
I wanted to give you an overview of the special search features that all four have in common.
And to show you how to find that extra possibility for your site in that special niche you are looking at…

Little did I know this was a greater challenge then I imagined, but what a great ride! 

Not only did I found out about all the crazy search possibility’s already in place, but also some great informational sites to point to for future reference in search engine optimization, like the Top Searches of the Week from Ask.com

But to get you up to speed, here is the Feature table:

ask.com Live.com Yahoo.com Google.com
web web web web
images images images images
video video video video
news news News news
maps and directions maps Maps Maps
city / local local local
shopping classifieds shopping products
RSS Feeds feeds reader

Stock Finance
Special Search results
weather MSN Directory Blogger
Dictonary health Jobs Photos
Conversions Mobile Groups
Famous people search People labs
travel Okut
Movie Subscription Patents
White pages creative Commons Documents
Audio Calender

So as you can see in this table, there are Six search functions that are in all the engines:
Web, Images, Video, News, Maps and Shopping

But if you looks closely, there are a few items that are worth looking at because they might be the next special search for all, like RSS Feeds and Blogs.

Over the next weeks you might read about all these from a Search Engine Optimazition point of view.
