Search engine optimization techniques for Google and Yahoo are quite different. Many websites rank well in one search engine but not the other. This is the direct result of each search engine having its own unique ranking algorithm. For example, the Google algorithm predominantly values the anchor text of in-bound links. Yahoo places more emphasis on keyword density and meta tags.
 

The primary reason for the difference in ranking algorithms is that Google owns the patent on Page Rank (PR), named after Google's founder Larry Page. As a result of owning this patent, other search engines need to place more emphasis on different optimization factors including website URL, keyword density and so on.

For a while now webmasters have fretted over why all of the pages of their website are not indexed. As usual there doesn't seem to be any definite answer. But some things are definite, if not automatic, and some things seem like pretty darn good guesses. So, we scoured the forums, blogs, and Google's own guidelines for increasing the number of pages Google indexes, and came up with our (and the community's) best guesses.

The running consensus is that a webmaster shouldn't expect to get all of their pages crawled and indexed, but there are ways to increase the number.

It's the 12th week of Bayanihn SEO Philippines contest. Aside from the checkpoint being moved on November, still the contest tracking code has not been applied yet which everyone thinks that it will make it easier to know who's team is leading in Paradise Philippines.

I have not created any post that will promote Paradise Philippines  for the past few weeks on this blog, but we still manage to update our paradise Philippines main entry. I'm not sure what to do now with my blog, my SERPS listing in Google, Yahoo and MSN for  SEO Dubai and Dubai SEO dropped to 2nd page.

I think I will do first paradise Philippines and optimize later for SEO Dubai. We have to work more on because 1 of our entry Pinoy Designer will soon pave goodbye and we will lose some points for the contest.

Well, let's just see what will happen in the next few days.

Being elite does not mean being indifferent. My grandfather used to
tell me that the richest of all people are those who do not need to
show and tell. Your achievements and what you've done should be enough
to represent who you are.

I am writing this short article at the invitation of a good friend who
is a search engine optimization expert based in Dubai. A group of overseas
Filipino workers (OFWs) are working almost 24/7 promoting Philippine
tourism to foreigners in Dubai hoping that in their small effort, they can
contribute in the development of Paradise Philippines.

He forwarded me an article written by someone who just fiercely and
fabulously destroyed herself and the papers she represented.

Her name is Malu Fernandez and her article was about her summer
vacation in Boracay and Greece. With due respect to her work as a
writer, jet setter, social butterfly, and a fashion specialist, I
could not tolerate the words she wrote about the OFWs. Read the rest of this entry »

Philippines, though belonging to a third world country, is a paradise as most foreigners would say. Millions would come and visit to enjoy what the country has to offer in terms of sceneries and natural panoramic views. The magnificent beaches and landscape are but some of the main attractions. With the famous Boracay beach, which has been the number one tourists attractions in paradise Philippines, with its fine white sand, clear and calm waters. It is visited not only by foreigners  but also by Filipinos as well. 

Another place which is often visited in paradise Philippines would be Tagaytay which is the grand viewing deck for the world's smallest volcano. It is just an hour and a half away from the busy streets of Manila, the capital of paradise Philippines. With its cool climate, it is best for relaxation after a week's work, with the numerous places where you could stay depending on your budget and needs and not to mention the number of restaurants where you  could dig in the different Filipino and foreign dishes being served. Filipinos used to visit this place with their family. Through the years it has been developed to be one of the country's tourist destination.
