[12:54:10 PM] Ginger Marks says: meta tags are not used for SEO ranking
[12:54:23 PM] Ginger Marks says: any longer
[12:54:54 PM] Ginger Marks says: myth: keyword density

[12:55:45 PM] Ginger Marks says: thanks
[12:56:21 PM] parameds.temp020 says: put in key word phrase..a search word that someone would be searching for
[12:56:35 PM] Carol Deckert says: Page Rank - Google indexes each page
[12:56:46 PM] Carol Deckert says: Keyword phrases means nothing in terms of rankings
[12:56:57 PM] parameds.temp020 says: page rank of 5 ddoes not mean you are going to be on top of the google
[12:57:18 PM] Carol Deckert says: optimize both onsite and offsite
[12:57:20 PM] parameds.temp020 says: this has to do with including back links, do this on site and off site
[12:57:40 PM] parameds.temp020 says: this things could be hurt your ranking,,it is frames
[12:57:45 PM] parameds.temp020 says: what is frames
[12:58:07 PM] parameds.temp020 says: do not do frames if you don t not do them properly
[12:58:46 PM] parameds.temp020 says: if you have a frame they will book mark it , if you use frame the domain stays the same, it does not change
[12:59:10 PM] parameds.temp020 says: the search engines if you do not code it properly they dont index it properly
[12:59:25 PM] parameds.temp020 says: dont use an all flash site, index site, individual pages
[12:59:41 PM] parameds.temp020 says: if you use this it so very so hard to load
[12:59:44 PM] Ginger Marks says: back. you all are doing so well. please continue. thanks
[1:00:06 PM] parameds.temp020 says: cant have a flash header etc, but dont design all in flash
[1:00:18 PM] parameds.temp020 says: if you are trying to sell with flash you dont need it
[1:00:40 PM] Ginger Marks says: lolol
[1:00:52 PM] parameds.temp020 says: it was over whelmed with flash
[1:01:03 PM] parameds.temp020 says: java script navigation dont do it
[1:01:18 PM] Lael E. Johnson says: hi may I join?
[1:01:22 PM] Ginger Marks says: we love CSS
[1:01:25 PM] parameds.temp020 says: the search engine does not follow it, people cant follow it
[1:01:34 PM] parameds.temp020 says: cant read images
[1:01:41 PM] parameds.temp020 says: dont use session id
[1:02:01 PM] parameds.temp020 says: make sure your shopping cart does not use that session id
[1:02:23 PM] parameds.temp020 says: all flash site is a all graphic site the search engine cant find it
[1:02:40 PM] parameds.temp020 says: google cant read the text in a graphic
[1:02:59 PM] parameds.temp020 says: having in all content in pdf file
[1:03:16 PM] parameds.temp020 says: goggle can not index with pdf
[1:03:27 PM] Carol Deckert says: make sure these things are NOT on your site: frames (unable to bookmark the content there because the frames don't change so the URL displayed stays the same)
Don't use an all-flash site, can't bookmark individual pieces of content; slow loading on dial-up - ok to use flash header just don't build the whole site in flash
Java script navigation - use CSS for fancy navigation - otherwise you are keeping out people who do not have java script enabled on their computers
Don't have nothing but images for your navigation
Don't use Session IDs - make sure your shopping cart is not using them - search engine cannot index content
Don't use all-graphic site - Google cannot read the text included in the graphics so site won't rank well
Don't have all your content in PDF files - Google can index PDF files but is unable to read the content
[1:06:05 PM] Carol Deckert says: TOP SEO MISTAKES - not fully using the Title Tag (metatag) - the tag should include the keyword phrase for that page - use company name only on home page and About page
Not properly researching keywords and phrases - go to forums dedicated to that industry to find out what terms they are using to search for those products
