Engine Management Systems

Do you want to get your site from page five to page one in Google? Here are a few tips to boost you on your way.

1. Clean up your HTML.

Keep a beady eye on Dreamweaver, and avoid CMS software.

What, Dreamweaver, beloved program of pro webmasters everywhere?

Yes!

Dreamweaver adds lots of extra blank space to HTML code, and breaks lines. This is especially irritating in meta tags. Use EditPad’s ‘Find and Replace’ function to get rid of newlines and double blank spaces in your pages.

Content Management Systems are a great time saver. An amateur can set up a professional-looking site in a few hours. The problem is they contain lots of code that’s irrelevant to search engines. The top of a CMS page may contain only a few words relevant to its subject matter.

Then there’s the duplicate content problem.

- Blogs have duplicate copies of their own content; sometimes exact, sometimes excerpts.

- Thousands of people are using the same CMS as you.

- A search engine spider sees the same header, sidebar and footer content in every page in your site.

Result? Your page is down the SERPs for any competitive keyword. Assuming it’s indexed at all.

These programs are written by geeks. Their primary aim is to eliminate code errors, and add features. Your marketing comes a very poor second. They’re also posting security updates every few months. More hassle. For you.

Drastic solution:

1. Type your documents in a text editor like Editpad, then

2. Use a Text to HTML converter, then

3. (Use Dreamweaver to add formatting, then)

4. Use a index generator to make a HTML list of those pages, then

5. FTP them to your web site.

Benefits:

- Search engine spiders get to the ‘meat’ of your page immediately;

- You have more control over how the page looks;

- You have more control over what an SE ‘bot ’sees’;

- You’re not relying on a MySQL database to maintain your site;

- Hackers won’t be able to deface your site easily.

A clever webmaster would look into Conditional Server Side Includes. You can use them ‘program’ your web pages, while still presenting clean HTML to search engine ‘bots.

And as for Microsoft FrontPage, I wish all my competitors were using it.

2. Get lots of links to your site.

- Submit articles to article websites;

- Pay freelancers to make software for you, and give it away free;

- Submit to the top directories, like Yahoo and DMOZ, but don’t spend much time or money. Only half a dozen are worth a damn for SEO;

- Post in popular forums and blogs, if they will let you use straight hyperlinks in your signature;

- Be controversial – assault a few sacred cows;

- Do a press release, and think beforehand about how you can make it interesting to journalists;

- Make a better, faster, cheaper version of a popular product.

That should get you a few decent links. With millions of cheapo, ‘me too’, linkless sites out there, yours will stand out like a snowdrop on a dungheap.

3. Offer something people really want.

You like fuschia leg warmers. You think other people do too. You make a website selling them.

Cue sad disillusion.

People want money, sex, friendship, human contact, cars, drugs, health and happiness. They know what they want (not need, want). You’ve got to figure about a better way to satisfy that want, for a fat net profit.

Simple, ain’t it?

Actually, yes it is.

Save time. Pick a very profitable, popular industry. Think up a way to give people a better product. Or faster. Or cheaper. Or all three! Research costs little. Thinking costs nothing.

Or just go off half-cocked. Employ a cheap, angry webmaster. Half-finish the site for a product you’re not 100% sure there’s a demand for. Then sit back and wait for traffic.

Then give up, go down the pub and gripe to your pals: “The internet’s sh*t, innit?”.

Funny thing about offering a popular good with a new twist; you get links without cadging them.

4. Be first with a new, popular good (or a smarter second).

MySpace wasn’t the first social networking site, but they did it better. They designed it to be viral. Members could compete to get ‘friends’, and everyone wants new friends, right? Users could put anything they wanted online, even if it looked cr*ppy. Censorship was minimal. Result: Huge popularity, without needing the search engines.

Not easily done, but again, research costs little. Thinking costs nothing.

Stop the daily slog. Go for a walk. Have a long bath. Play a game of street-hockey. And see what pops into your head.

If you feel good about it the next day, it may be a good idea. Test it before committing to it. If it still makes you excited a month later, you may be onto a winner.

If complete strangers start feeling the same, you definitely are!

Content management systems are a must for most small businesses. They can create nearly any type of website and are very easy to use. Content management systems separate the content from the structure of the site, allowing users to update the site without affecting how it looks. Updating a site often helps make it more relevant to users, giving small business owners what they’re really after when they have a website: customers.

The main benefit of a content management system is that it separates how a website looks from the content that is displayed to the views. This allows someone who doesn’t understand web standards like HTML or CSS to be able to update the content of their websites very easily without worrying about messing anything up. Small business owners can quickly log in, change a few things, save their changes, and log out without ever needing to pick up the phone to talk to a web designer. In fact, for most changes including menus, adding pictures, etc. the small business owner will have no problems making the changes themselves.

In the past, one of the main reasons to avoid a content management system was that they weren’t very good at search engine optimization. The separation of the template from the content meant that search engines read the sites differently than they hard-coded HTML sites. Over the last few years, a number of the major open source CMS platforms have focused on ensuring that they are friendly with search engines. WordPress, Drupal and Joomla all play very nicely with search engines and have plugins that make life even easier.

Each content management system has a different limit and a different focus, so the three main ones, WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, are aimed at different audiences. WordPress is great for a blog or a basic website. It’s very easy to use and has a number of plugins that can help you extend it to do interesting things. Pictures and videos can be posted easily and static pages allow a corporate site to have About Us and Contact sections easily. Also, because WordPress is a blog, it is set up to easily add information regularly. Search engines love updated content.

Joomla is a bit more complex than WordPress, but it allows for the creation of more robust websites. Joomla is a true content management application, not a blogging platform, so the creation of a full featured business website is easier. Webstores and more complex websites can be built using Joomla and it’s a great platform for people who want to try to build a site themselves without very much experience.

While there are literally hundreds of CMS choices in the market, Drupal will be the last one this article discusses. It’s an extremely powerful system used by hundreds of large companies. Recovery.gov was built using Drupal. While Drupal can be a little bit difficult to understand if it’s not explained, once a person learns it can create fully social websites, with forums, user generated content, and complex structures. It is also great for creating corporate websites because it can be easily expanded at any point and integrates really well with customer relationship management (CRM) software, financial software, and ecommerce solutions.

Why would you want your website built using a Content Management System (CMS)? Well, there are quite a few compelling reasons, but first let’s look at the alternative.

How it used to be

Not so long ago, most websites were “static” – that is to say, they consisted of single pages, starting with the Home page, that were linked to one another. Normally a menu or navigation of some sort allowed you to move between the pages, but there was little opportunity for interaction with the website.

You would pay a designer to create the site for you and host it on a server somewhere. If you wanted to change anything you would have to pay your designer again to make the change for you, and wait while he or she did it. And you were largely in the dark about how it would be found by search engines.

How it is now

A CMS on the other hand is actually driven by a database that stores all the content of the website and only delivers pages when called for by the users’ browser. The designer can give you a log-in so that you, or other people can make changes to the website.

So a having your website built using a CMS has many advantages over a static site:

• Different people can edit the website
• People without any specialist knowledge can update the site
• Different editors can have different access rights, so that some people could add and delete pages, others could only edit existing pages etc
• You can edit it from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection
• All the editing is done in the browser (which you already know how to use) – log in and you can make changes to the site
• You don’t need to invest in any new software
• Any kind of content can be added, such as pictures, videos, contact forms, forums, blogs and so on
• You can easily change the look of the site – even individual pages – by assigning different templates to them
• There are lots of facilities such as user registration, user comments, protected pages and shopping cart integration available
• You can update whenever you like – you’re not relying on someone else to make changes when it suits them
• You can give the site your own personal touch
• It is very cost effective.

In summary then, a CMS is flexible, it is convenient, it doesn’t involve much additional learning, it doesn’t mean any extra financial outlay and you can control it yourself – CMS sites are fantastic!
