[2003-02-27] Search for Survivors Follows AltaVista/Overture/Fast Searchquake
The ground moves with a confusing shift sideways, followed by a bump, then a lurch and finally a massive rumbling explosion that splits the earth and swallows whatever is in its path on the surface. This happens with disturbing regularity lately and aftershocks knock formerly solid firms off their strong foundations. Infoseek, Go.com, Direct Hit and Excite collapse.

I've had a lot of success with most of the search engines, but my manual submissions to Alta Vista are not getting posted. I am not spamming and have followed all the rules. Any ideas?

[2003-02-18] Getting Listed in MSN
Dear Robin,
I regularly read your column on WebProNews and have learned a lot - thanks! I'm a wedding photographer, and have put a lot of effort into creating a web-site that should be search-engine friendly, as well as provide my prospective customers with plenty of information about me and the services I offer. For the most part I think I've succeeded, since I rank very high on Google and most of the other big engines for the search words/phrases that I've targeted (Seattle wedding photography, Seattle wedding photographers, and several other variations). And I get numerous compliments every week from people who have visited my site.

[2003-02-11] 3 Key Principles of Search Engine Strategy
It's not hard to find good information on search engines... the hard part is telling the good information apart from the bad. Some of it is old, some of it is wrong, and a lot of it is just self-serving propaganda for someone's product or service. My first commercial site, Website Promotion Central, boasts top rankings for very competitive keywords like "website promotion." It's become the 3rd most popular website promotion resource, according to DirectHit.
[2003-02-11] 10-Minute Homepage Tune-Up
Is your site's home page search engine friendly? Think so, eh? The vast majority of websites, even those belonging to Fortune 500 companies, are far from optimized. I use a simple four-step process to find the most common errors. Using this to do a quick tune-up on your homepage takes about 10 minutes, and it will pay off for years to come.

First of all, I will say that the same "optimization" techniques we use for every search engine will apply to Teoma, too. Optimizing each web page for the specific search terms involved is a simple exercise. Beyond that, Teoma presents some interesting challenges and opportunities.

What Makes Teoma Different: Did Anyone Say "Themes?"
If there could ever be a search engine designed specifically to reward the developers of high-value, high-content websites, Teoma is it. Teoma likes content-rich websites (just like yours) with lots of links from related sites (you work on this every day, right?), that follow a consistent theme (there's that word again!).

The New Teoma 2.0: Best Search Ever?
The "Teoma" search engine (www.teoma.com) is a part of the Ask.com / Ask Jeeves search portal. It delivers search results on a large number of portals and websites that use Jeeves search boxes, as well as delivering a substantial and growing number of searches through Teoma.com itself. In fact, it is now the #3 search engine database, in terms of the audience it reaches, behind Google and Inktomi.
