It sure has changed a lot since then. Back in the day you could use invisible text, load keywords to the point of overflowing and fill META tags with anything even close to what you had on your page. And you could do well on Google, Yahoo, Alta Vista; all the biggies. Not anymore. ]]> no@spam.com (Mike Small) Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:23:04 EST http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/192/1/Top-Google-in-Record-Time-in-2-Simple-Steps/Page1.html http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/191/1/Targeting-Niche-Audiences---AOL039s-New-Branding-Strategy/Page1.html AOL, once considered a pioneer in internet technology, has fallen on hard times over the years, unable to devise an effective branding strategy. A failed merger with Time-Warner, a non-focus on search while Google built an empire (the AOL search engine eventually began serving up Google results on its portal site), and declining dial-up business are all contributing factors to the ongoing difficulties of AOL and its search engine. ]]> no@spam.com (Scott Buresh) Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:21:00 EST http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/191/1/Targeting-Niche-Audiences---AOL039s-New-Branding-Strategy/Page1.html http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/189/1/What-Google-Thinks-Of-Your-Site-/Page1.html How Google views your site does matter if you want to succeed online because Google has become the dominant search engine on the web. It now has over 60% of the U.S. search engine market. In other countries around the world that percentage rises to 80% or more. In addition, the Google Brand Name has solidly permeated the popular psyche and any top rankings within Google will bring much weight and prestige along with all that traffic. ]]> no@spam.com (Titus Hoskins ) Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:16:05 EST http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/189/1/What-Google-Thinks-Of-Your-Site-/Page1.html http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/188/1/What-To-Do-When-Your-Website-Does-Not-Rank-Well-In-Google/Page1.html Online marketers frequently struggle with the question of how to compete when Google fails to look positively upon a particular website. In this article, I will focus on how to build rankings and drive traffic to your website, using Google and the other search engines. ]]> no@spam.com (Bill Platt) Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:24:22 EST http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/188/1/What-To-Do-When-Your-Website-Does-Not-Rank-Well-In-Google/Page1.html http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/186/1/Do-It-Yourself-SEO---A-Beginner039s-Checklist/Page1.html There have always been do-it-yourselfers succeeding at web promotíon and search engine optimization. In fact, many of the established businesses offering web services today came from humble beginnings, perhaps nothing more than a college student with a laptop, an internet connection, and too much free time. The Web evolves as the result of the innovation and experimentation of individuals. The sharing of knowledge. The do-it-yourself attitude. ]]> no@spam.com (John Metzler) Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:13:07 EST http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/186/1/Do-It-Yourself-SEO---A-Beginner039s-Checklist/Page1.html http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/184/1/Look-Beyond-Google-Meta-Search-Engines-Can-Help-Online-Marketers/Page1.html There are actually hundreds of search engines, not just the Big Three (Google, Yahoo, and MSN) that many Internet users think of. By focusing only on the most well known search engines for your marketing online strategy, you may be missing out on as much as 30% of the billions of searches being done online every single day. ]]> no@spam.com (Bill Platt) Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:06:50 EST http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/184/1/Look-Beyond-Google-Meta-Search-Engines-Can-Help-Online-Marketers/Page1.html http://www.pyjamapeople.com/articles/articles/182/1/How-to-Optimize-for-Google-Part-3-of-3-/Page1.html In Part 1 and Part 2 of How to Optimize for Google I discussed general website optimization, links, and Google webmaster tools. In Part 3 we will look at a number of other considerations which play a role in successful rankings in Google, and also touch on some tactics which are best avoided.
