Search Engine Algorithm

If you have been trying to optimize your Web site so as to get ranked well in the major search engines, you must have heard about the notoriery of SE changing their algorithm and then the top ranked web sites got kicked and even delisted.

It really happened. And it happened to me just a few months ago. One of my Web site was removed from Yahoo search database and I lost a big chunk of Adsense revenue. I am not really sure what was it that Yahoo spiderbot didn't like about my Web site. What I am sure was that the Web site had things that were not supposed to be there. You may like to refer to this page for reference when you are building and optimizing your Web site - Yahoo Help.

Lucky for me was that it happened after I have been studying Google patent filing and applying it to my new Web sites. Also, I have been revamping older Web site bearing in mind the do's and the dont's. After a couple of months of hard work, some of my sites finally make it to the first 30 results of Google search.

If you are serious about your web site, do not try any thing that promise quick results - the search engines algorithm can detect unusual patterns and will remove your URLs at the slightest suspicion.
