Yr 12 OCR Nationals – LEVEL 3 Unit 2 – AO3: more help with search engines
You need to include How Search Engines Work
How search engines work • How search engines work, eg • methods for websites registration with search engine databases • methods used to rank websites • the use of keywords in the title and meta tags, position on the webpage to return results • how search engines ignore keywords
So I’ll tell you where to find the info... • Methods for websites registration: • In itself this is now a murky area where promises are made – and not always kept! • http://www.register-domain.us/search_engine_registration.htm for a view of what’s out there <shudder!> • http://www.snowgoose.co.uk/tourism/engines.htm for a clear view of the process • http://www.agt-web.co.uk/search_engine_marketing.php this is how it is marketed!
So I’ll tell you where to find the info... • Methods used to rank websites: • It depends (doesn’t it always?) • http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/searchworks.html is a reliable outline. • http://www.seowebsitesdesigners.com/search_engine_optimization/how_do_search_engines_rank_websites.html might be a huge URL but you’ll find a LOT of info there. • http://www.austinseoguy.com/seo-tips/2007/01/how-do-search-engines-rank-websites.html and this is entertaining too!
So I’ll tell you where to find the info... • Use of keywords in the title and metatags • Well here my guess is that the keywords bit is hardly all that demanding.. But what ARE metatags? • Little dry but informative: http://www.philb.com/metatag.htm • Even drier but wow what info! http://searchenginewatch.com/2167931 • Seriously incendiary! http://metatags.org/
So I’ll tell you where to find the info... • How search engines ignore keywords • That’s a bit heartbreaking after all the work on keywords, isn’t it? Still – read and learn, grasshopper... • http://www.breezemedia.co.uk/metakeywords.html • http://www.searchengineoptimizationpromotion.com/meta-tag.html • WAAYYY too long a URL here...so it’s been splinched... http://bit.ly/8pecrd
