I have made this SEO list that mostly holds information that i have derived from http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/internet/google-ranking-factors.htm and contains some interesting information that i wanted to share with you guys. Also i would like to update the list in every positive way possible for future references with the help of DP members. If you are working on a site you could work from this list or obtain a lot of usefull information from it. It's basicly a to-do list that can be updated. I think it would be nice if further discussions from the information on the list can be hold to expand our knowledge on SEO tactics to improve (try to ) the SERP's of our site(s). Check out the list: http://edzdigitalpoint.tadalist.com/lists/public/215229
Like it. I might add MSN Small Businesss Directory to the list though. It seems to do as well if not better than the Yahoo Dir in all my testing.
It shows in backlinks (as of now) and seems to be a pretty strong link. Who knows what the future holds though.
Excellent list, thanks for the resource. Sometimes it can make life much easier if you have a list of things to do/follow Brad
If you think you can ad something to the list then please mention this in this thread and i will update it immediately. Glad you guys liked it and hopefully we can update and evaluate it with regular intervals to keep it as current as possible.
Just that something extra I could use and save time not asking for, thanks much Edz! Search Engine Optimization is so damn tricky
I finally took the plunge - I submitted one of my site to Yahoo Directory figuring maybe it would help my already high status in their engine - maybe an extra line in the SERPs woudl help? Maybe the link would help with Google, Maybe people use the directory and they will find my site there. But I did not know one thing. Your Site's title and description in Yahoo's Search Results are dictated by what you have in your Meta Tags for Search and Description. BUT... Once you join their directory the decsiption used in your listing on Yahoo Search Resulyts is taken from the Directory Description - Usually this is far worse a description since it cannot contain various words phrases, capitalization etc. Any comments from anyone on what to do???
The link to the DP forums on that checklist is incorrect. You need to fix it. Samm27...you may want to start a new thread for your question about yahoo directory.
It's a free account and this is probably the reason for the link not working properly since the MSN Small Business Directory link doesn't work as well. I guess the free accounts are restricted to one live link in the list.
