Can Banned Sites On A Shared Hosting Account Harm My Website

Can Banned Sites On A Shared Hosting Account Harm My Website

As and when we come across new experiences or information that we think might be valuable to you in helping your website grow then we will share that information here. Very recently we helped a website owner improve there movie database/site in google and start getting it ranked higher more naturally. A good website with a good reputation can naturally rank higher without the need to link build heavily to that particular page.

We noticed that our client was on a shared hosing account with hostgator and there were around 2,000 sites on this one server, after doing some investigation we noticed that a few of the sites on this shared server were pretty spammy with the odd few banned from google completely. Our client asked if this would harm his website and would it be worth him getting a dedicated server. In the long run a dedicated server is the best but shared hosting is still very good. Google understands that you don’t have control of the sites on a shared server so why should you be penalised for the other sites mistakes, I would worry about having a few banned sites on your server or even spammy/scam sites and google will deal with them individually.

The only time your site might be affected is if all the sites on that server are spammy or banned and your site is the only clean site, for example google will ask itself why would a site be on a server with 1999 banned or spammy sites. This is theonly time google will think about penlasing your site or removing some of its weight.

So to conclude, don’t worry about shared hosting unless the server your on is full of spammy sites, I wold concentrate on other aspects of seo first before worry about shared hosting.

Are Keywords Still Important In Urls

Are Keywords Still Important In Urls

Today we are going to cover a bit about keywords and how important they are to have or not have in your url. If your thinking about placing keywords in your url then your probably doing it for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to hopefully rank higher in the search engines, this is called search engine optimization.

Search engine optimization is the process of optimizing your website for better search engine positions and the search engines rank your website based on hundreds of different factors. Keywords in your url is just one factor and isn’t by far the most important factor to have or to worry about. For example some people will go out and buy there main keyword in there url, even if this is a factor its not an important one as you can buy any domain name you like and then create a page with the keyword there, this will also be displayed in the url and will also allow you to have a more professional looking domain name.

A couple of factors that you might want to pay more attention to is the quality of content on your site as well as your inbound link structure. content is very important as it gets users coming to your site and writing about it, if you have poor content then the chances are the users want share your link with anyone and post it on there blog or list of favourite sites. You inbound links also play a huge part in seo and this is where you should really focus most of your seo efforts once you have completed the basics etc.

As we are a link building and search engine optimization company we are going for the full hog optimizing are domain name and every page we create. One of the things to keep in mind is not to get too carried and over optimize your site as it will look unnatural and put some search engines off. We have been in the seo field for over 7 years and have found a nice balance which has helped to get thousands of sites ranking highly in google.

So to conclude, its not always a good idea to buy your keyword in your domain name from a users point of view but it doesn’t hurt to have it there for the search engines. If you don’t buy your keyword in your domain name then its not the end of the world by a long shot.

Are Keyword Meta Tags Dead 2010

Are Keyword Meta Tags Dead 2010

We’re well into 2010 and people are still talking abut meta tags and what they have done to there site. Incase you didn’t know meta keywords tags are no longer needed for google but do still play a apart in the other search engines. Google uses different factors to determine where a site should rank and what keywords that site uses, it now has no need for meta tags as it has advanced its algorithm making meta tags redundant.

Even though google doesn’t use the keyword meta tag it still uses the description tag and I suggest actually adding both to your website, i.e the meta description for googles purposes and then the meta keyword tag for the other search engines. Even though googles look for your meta description tag it doesn’t mean it will use it, if it can pull a more relevant snippet from your pages content then it will do so but if it finds your description suitable then it will use that.

So to conclude google doesn’t use the meta keyword tag but its still worth using as other search engines still look for it, the tag that you should focus on for google purposes is the meta description as google still looks for it and uses the information it finds.
