Work Place Stress

Now you understand what a Search Engine does,
how do you entice them to visit your web site?

That easy! gave them what they want - good content.
You know what good content is and so do I, but how
does a search engine judge good content?

First your information has to be relevant to your web
site. If you are claiming a site on hair COLOR and all
your product are COLOR nail polish, the information is
not relevant. You need to change the name to nail
polish or get products that are related to hair color.
The domain name of your site should tell about the
information on the site to be relevant.

A domain name is the phrase or name given to your
web site, the same as a store name. Make the
name easy to remember and tell something about
the subject of your web site.

Another thing to remember is that the search engines
will lead people to your web site. Be sure that the
information is interesting to humans. Use the type of
information that would be of interest to your
audience. Don’t write about the newest teen hair color
if your audience is the young working girl.

Have you gone to a web site looking for something only
to find the information was totally different than what
you wanted? Don’t make your web site a total
disappointment to your visitors.

Search Engines, what are they?

They are software programs that gather information form web sites on the internet and place the information into a data base. When a request is made for information on a subject, the search engine goes to the data base and displays the information for you to view.

Another term used when talking about search engines are spiders. Some people explain the action of the search engines like a spider going over a site to gather the information. So when a site is visited by a search engine, you may hear your site was visit by a spider. So now you know you need to feed the spiders if you want to get your web site listed in a data base.

The largest known search engine is Google. Yahoo is also well known but not as large.There are other lesser known search engines. The internet is too large even for two search engines, thus each search engine has a network of engines covering the various parts of the internet. If one search engine doesn’t have what you are looking for, try another one.

So what do these engines search for when going over your web site?

The internet is full of free information. But you can’t
turn on your computer, go to the internet and have
tons of information fall out of the computer. What’s
the secret? The trick to finding the information you
what. It’s very easy once you know how to search
the internet.

Knowing someone who is a “geek” is really handy. Just
ask them and you get loads of information. For those
who don’t know any “geeks”, there is an easy way.
You use a search engine. What’s that? you ask.
You’ve heard of them before didn’t know what they do.
A search engine has a large data base of information.
Put in the subject you want and PRESTO! out comes
pages of information. Two of the best known search
engines are Google and Yahoo.

Go to the internet. There you will see, usually in the
top left side of the page, the name Google with a
blank box after it. Place the subject name in the box,
press the enter key and in a few seconds there is all
the information at your finger tips. Use Yahoo the
same way. So now you know how to find information
on the internet. Happy searching!
