How I choose my niche
Posted by in Internet Marketing, Internet Marketing Tool on January 3rd, 2010
I use my software to process the keywords. I set the software to filter only keywords with demand between 1000 to 50000, and competitor between 1000 to 2000000.
After filter the result, I then choose the keywords that I want to check its avalability.
These steps will save me lots of time.
Google Indexing dropped
Posted by in Seo on January 2nd, 2010
My travel guide blog has problem in Google indexing. It used to have 800 pages indexed at Google, but now it only has 160. I think the reason of this is because Google thinks I have internal duplicate content on my blog. I notice that my tag pages does not indexe well now. Probably Google thinks they have almost similar content between two pages. For example http://etravelogy.com/tag/music-boxes/ and http://etravelogy.com/tag/official-languages-of-switzerland/. The only different thing in those pages is the title tag. So I definately need to change the tag page so Google thinks it has different pages. Probably adding amazon product based on the tag keyword.
Does Google prefer Valid HTML & CSS
Posted by in Increase traffic on September 9th, 2009
I recently heard my friend saying that valid HTML & CSS is impotant. It can make your website rank higher in Google search. Is that true?? To prove this I browse a lot about this, and here’s the result:
- From site-reference.com, saying that “Not only did Google rank both sites with obviously wrong HTML higher, they even refused to include one of the sites with valid HTML altogether“!
- A discussion from webmasterworld. My summary, valid HTML does not help your ranking but probably will help you get indexed.
- From streetdirectory. “How important is valid html if Google, Yahoo!, and MSN don’t even practice it themselves?”
So for me, if I have time, I will do the validation. It’s not too important for me.
Submit to search engine

Some people said that they can list their/your website in Google under 24 hour. This can be done easily. Index in Google means, our website is in Google’s database. You can find out by searching your domain name at Google. If you haven’t find any result, that means that the website is not in Google index.
You can add your website at Google by submitting it at http://www.Google.com/addurl.html.
This is Google’s actual website submission form. They state that you can use this form to submit your website to their index of websites and it can take up to 6 weeks for your website to be placed into their index. So how do you get listed in 24 hour?
You need to search website with high PageRank. Higher pagerank means, that they are visited by Google more often. Your website will be listed in Google more quickly, if the high PageRank website links to you.
Besides submitting it to Google, you should also submit to Yahoo, and MSN, the other two big search engine.You can easily submit to various search engine using SubmitExpress.com.
