The key to good search engine placement is content. The more information you offer on your subject, more likely your webpage will achieve a high ranking. Many search engines, such as Google, examine content of a page to see if it is really related to targeted keywords. They also measure word count. If you are writing an article to attract search engines, try to have a word count of 550 to 1,000.

Search engines will crawl a site map. Place a site map on your website and link to it from your front page with a simple text hyperlink (as opposed to a graphic image). Then, use hyperlinks to link from your site map to rest of pages on your website. This will allow search engines to index your entire website.

Search engines have a hard time indexing websites that are in frames or that have a Flash introduction. Keep your front page simple with content that is relevant. This will give you a better chance of rising in rankings.

In pursuing profitability, we expect most search engines to move to a 'Pay for Placement' model. Until then, by simply implementing these website marketing ideas, you can generate more traffic for your websites.

Spy(ware Detection) vs. Spy(ware)

It would be virtually impossible to prevent spyware on your own. Even most hyper-vigilant defense would most likely let spyware slip through cracks. The only way to absolutely ensure that your system is protected is to monitor your computer with spyware prevention and removel software.

A firewall is another invaluable resource that should be used in conjunction with a spyware prevention and removal program. The firewall monitors your PC's Internet connection and shields it from unwanted actions by third-parties. In doing this it prevents spyware from connecting with remote sites without your permission.

Once spyware infiltrates your system it can be quite a chore to remove. Uninstalling program that was bundled with spyware won't do it. That will only remove main application from your system, while spyware application remains. After spyware has entered your computer your best course of action is to install a spyware prevention and removal program. In addition to preventing spyware infection these programs will also remove spyware that has already infected your system.
