Written by Andrey Milyan


Web stores are usually much harder to optimize then regular websites. The main reason for that is that most websites are custom while web stores use ready script. That's because web store script, let's call it shopping cart software from now on, has to be much more functional then regular website andrepparttar administrator should have full control overrepparttar 108676 store. Due to that fact, most shopping carts onrepparttar 108677 market today use dynamic URLs which are practically impossible for search engine spider to crawl correctly. These scripts often use single meta data for all of their pages and each page has very little or even no text at all. This kills almost all chances of ranking high inrepparttar 108678 search engines. So which shopping cart software is search engine friendly? We will take a look at two shopping carts that are in our opinion much more search engine friendly thenrepparttar 108679 rest inrepparttar 108680 market.

Your List for Article Submissions isrepparttar 108675 Crucial Link that Makes it Work

The quality of your submission list determines how many people get to read your message. Unless places you submit to are in synch with your message, products and services, most of your efforts are wasted. It’s worth your time to customize and polish your list.

1. Expandingrepparttar 108676 List

I spend at least as much time each week tweaking my list as writing articles to post. As I travelrepparttar 108677 Internet, my antenna stays tuned for suitable websites and ezines.

Assessing Websites - Is this a quality, visitor-friendly site? - That’s totally subjective - but if not, I won’t send articles there - Does it reachrepparttar 108678 readers I write for? - Does it use articles? If so, are they by authors unaffiliated withrepparttar 108679 site? - Is there a submission form or author guidelines?

Their authors are considered. Am I familiar with their work? Is it worthwhile? Sometimes I Google an author’s name to see what else they’ve written and where it appears. Often I discover a slew of appropriate websites unknown to me.

I regularly query search engines for targeted keywords, orrepparttar 108680 group I want to reach (chiropractors). From those results, I use Google’s "Search within Results" feature and type in phrases like, "Submit Article" or "Newsletters." That links me directly to possible candidates. I won’t include a site without visiting a website and feeling that it’s a match.

Whenever someone requests permission to post an article of mine I offer similar (and future) ones also. They found me! That’s another emotional payback from posting articles.

2. Culling and Upgrading Listed Sites

Starting a week after posting an article, I query Google withrepparttar 108681 title (in quotes) inrepparttar 108682 search box. I notice where it shows up, then re-check regularly. Results are logged for each article. When it appears on websites not already on my list, they’re added.

Requests to be removed fromrepparttar 108683 list are honored immediately. Addresses for undelivered submissions are updated or removed.
