Well the thing with these search engine placement companies is they
were worth something about 2 years ago. Right before google came around and
the other search engines started making you pay for placement. Google goes
by link popularity, the more people that link back to you the more popular
you are. They also use your keywords and description to put you up there,
but how far up you go is based on your popularity. These search engine
companies can not do anything for you unless they own thousands of different
urls and they put you on each and every site and google indexes everyone of
those sites. I am sure it's a nice little trick for the crappy search
engines, but google is the number 1 dog right now, so if they aren't putting
you high on your list, you can get all the little people in the world to
have you, but you won't get the best traffic.Robert Everland III Dixon Ticonderoga Web Developer Extraordinaire -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 12:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Search Engines I have a client with a new CF site where the pages are created dynamically form several CfIncludes. The client has used a SE optimization company that they employed in the past who have now sent me some changes that they want me to incorporate on the site. From a conversation I had with them they do not appear to know much about dynamic sites and I wanted some reassurance before relying on their expertise in SEO. Most of the changes are links contained within <noscript> </noscript> tags so they do not show on the page. ( Well unless you are using Netscape 2.00 or below I believe.) This may be a very clever utilization and perfectly legitimate use of a little used tag, it may even be a totally brilliant idea. However, I would welcome comments from others on this as a technique for enhancing placement in search engines for cf sites or others before I use it on my client's site.
