If you have taken some time to understand how search engines robots crawl your website you will realize that they crawl from top to bottom according to source code. So, in any normal e-commerce code layout of your product listing pages you will see that your product image is the first link to that product page meaning the search engines take that link as the first “vote” to that page.

Friday, May 15, 2009
One of the most obvious hiccups that websites have is when they link to there “Home” or “Logo” on every page they will link to www.domainexample.com/index.php. Most will ask why does that matter? We’ll lets take a look at an example here…

SEO Tip of the Day: 301 Redirect Non-WWW to WWW
Thursday, May 14, 2009
One of the simplest but very useful to keep everything tidy within your website including page rank, links, and crawling is making sure to 301 redirect your non-www version of your domain name to the www. That is assuming if you are using the www.domainexample.com as your main address. In other words if someone links to http://domainexample.com and that is not 301 redirected to http://www.domainexample.com then you could be losing value for that link, page rank, and the search engines could understand that url as a seperate page. Remember a 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that will pass any pagerank/link juice value to the redirected address.
SEO Tip of the Day: Use Google Alerts to Spy On Your Competitors & Build Links
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
One of the easiest and most useful ways to keep up with your competitors is Google Alerts.
I would strongly suggest that if you want to find out anytime your competitor is mentioned online when Google crawls the data then simply put their business name in a google alert wrapped in “”. So if your competitor was “Blue Widget Inc” simply track there business name in a google alert. You will find this useful as to see anytime other websites are talking about them or they submit press releases with new product/services launches so you stay on track with the latest and greatest with the Blue Widget Inc.
