Che,
The IBP mentioned by ~Dave the disrupter~ also incorporates both of the
links I sent out earlier in the downloaded version of their product.
Although, it's not free to use, it does incorporate a lot of other useful
tools. HTML validator, auto submission etc.
Everything mentioned in this thread is also techniques that I use to
make the site more relevant depending on which engine your targeting. I
wouldn't concentrate too much on the smaller ones, only go for the Google
and Yahoo to start out. The rest should follow suit if you get good
rankings in these two.
The other thing I've noticed in the past is the length of the domain
renewal has a direct effect.... if you purchase the domain for say ten years
instead of renewing it every year, it will make a difference by about 4 or 5
places in the listings (that might have changed though, but it did make a
difference in my experience).
Also if you have multiple relevant sub-sites of your own that point back
to the main governing site, it will build link weight and more relevancy.
Placed inside the content of one of the subsites you could add
keywords/phrases that are linked to other pages in the main site describing
more information about a subject while packing in that keyword a few times.
The other thing is to make the title of the page have the keyword and name
of the file contain the keyword. Relevant content is the key, not flashy
intros and sites packed with images.
But you need to also account for how new the subsites are and how long
they have been around which goes back to what Josh had mentioned earlier.
Seniority does take priority in my experience, but if you rank the site
well, it will still take less time to get on the first page. You might also
want to make the additional sub-sites hosted in separate parts of the
country, or hosted with two different providers, this way you'll have two
different site from two sides of the country talking about the same relevant
site and linked together by matching keywords and headers. Basically, create
an infrastructure that makes the main site the governing body or authority
on the subject your promoting, while still applying all the other SEO rules
you've read about in the rest of this thread. There is no need to fool the
search engines if you building a huge infrastructure of sites, but it can
cost a lot more $$ and take longer to build. So I guess it would really
depend on your products or services and how much your ROI is compared to the
time and desire to rank higher.
