About Search Engines

Keeping your website placement in search engines is an ongoing task today. Many have found that for years they had good placement only to find they are no longer able to find their website using the old key words they once used. There are many reasons for this. Search engines are changing the way they list sites all the time. Google now looks for sites that are cross-linked to other websites, and they place a lot of importance on this for your rankings. Google also looks for a small XML page called a sitemap page. Yahoo uses a rotating listing program, listing a new site well for a while and then moving them down the list. This leaves website owners depending more on their pay for advertising to keep their websites listed on the first few pages. Optimizing pages are more important than ever to get good placement. Looking at Google and Yahoo local listings is a good way to get some good listings. More and more, people are using these local listings to drill down to businesses in their local area. Using your keywords to name your pages and getting domain names with your keywords can help. If you have products you sell on your website, E-bay and Yahoo and Google shopping listings offer good exposure. Setting up a mailing list of clients and publishing a newsletter like this can also help your business grow.

BikerParties can help. We use proven methods to help get your site seen. And we can recommend a good, strong marketing plan. Remember, unless you pay for clicks, do not let anyone promise you page one in any of the big three search engines (Google, AOL or Yahoo). It is just not possible in most cases, but a good strong listing program can get you noticed and may even get you in the top ten. It can take up to three months to see any effective results from a listing campaign, so now is the time to start for the upcoming holiday season.

If you did not know, and why it is so important:

BikerParties provides a unique, dedicated IP Address
to every one of its web hosting clients.
Almost all of our competitors have gone to a shared IP address setup in order to save money, but we refuse to lessen our service regardless of savings.

Advantages of a Dedicated IP Address for Your Web Site

	Faster Load Time
	Dedicated Resources - Your site will not be affected by other sites.
	Unique Identity - Your web site will not be affected by the actions of other sites. Easier to get listed in search engines

Disadvantages of Shared IP Address for Your Web Site

	Slower Load Time
	Shared Resources - Your site will compete against all other sites on the server for resources.

Shared Identity - If another web site on the same server as your web site is involved in SPAM or other illegal or unethical practices, the victim will most likely block the offender. When they are blocked, it will be based on the shared IP address and affect ALL sites on that server. Examples of affects are search engine banishment and emails blocked from certain recipients. Also some older web browsers do not support shared IP addresses and will not be able to view your site at all.
