Optimizing for Different Search Engines!

Many times in the web site optimization process we all seem to forget that there are three major search engines we should consider. We all understand that Google is the leader when a person thinks of search engines and the term “Google It” has become a household phrase. Yahoo has acquired about 25% of the market and some reports that MSN has earned from 10-15% of the market. Even though MSN’s share of the market is less than the other engines, the users of MSN are truly loyal.

The algorithms of MSN are different than Google and Yahoo, however, there are some rules in the various engines that are used by all the search engines. Just because you rank well with Google and Yahoo, you may not rank well with MSN because of some of their algorithm differences. If you are optimizing specifically for MSN ranking, make sure you keep an eye on your Google and Yahoo rankings. Ranking on top with MSN will likely be ranked low with Google. For online effectiveness you would be wise to have Google on top and MSN on the bottom. The secret here is to build your site with a proper structures that will work with all the big three of the top search engines.

There are specific reasons why this happens. Even though the web site pages spidered by the different engines may be the same, the different algorithms used by the various engines will produce a different search result. All search engines will spider a page and then index the information into their database….then applies their algorithms to the pages spidered and ranks you accordingly.

It appears on the surface that the MSN algorithm is not as advanced as Google and Yahoo, however, that philosophy will be challenged by some…

Using Domain Names to Enhance Local Search

As of this writing domain names tied to geographic locations still seem to be available, for the most part. Many are “premium” domains, if purchased through GoDaddy.com, the world’s largest domain name registrar.

Getting a domain name that can help your local search results is dependent upon two things:

1. Your product or service and

2. Where you live

Every product and/or service is a different market, some are more saturated than others. If you were in the insurance business or an attorney, you would know that your industry is extremely competitive and may be at a high saturation level in your geographical area.

As a rule, the larger the city, the less chance you have at getting a domain name for local search.

Before we go any further, let’s talk about a local search domain. I am referring to a domain that is designed to exploit local search as much as possible. Let’s say you own a pizza place in Denver, Co., this is a highly competitive industry and market, and Denver is a very large city. The ideal domain name we would want to buy, and probably can’t get, is pizzadenver[dot]com or denverpizza[dot]com. A domain name for local search would include two items, 1. your product or service and 2. your location (or where you want to pull business from)

Smaller cities have not been gobbled up yet. I was able to buy redlandswebdesign.com about a month ago at the regular price, not premium price. Redlands is a small town east of Los Angeles. I was also able to buy socalwebsitedesigns.com a couple of years 11ago. With “socalwebsitedesigns.com” you can see another strategy, a nickname for the area you live in, this will work the same as the formal name of the city.

The first step to take is…
