Dear group, I'm a little baffled about your ht://DIG search engine.
Currently, I'm a contractor working for a foundation that uses the ht://Dig search engine. My task is to come up with a guide for "content people" (writers and editors) to make articles easier find on the site and be "scored higher" on this Web site's search engine, depending on the search terms entered into the search engine. I understand the importance of using meta tags, descriptions, titles, etc. (all the stuff used in the "header" portion of Web pages), but the part about how search engines (and ht://Dig in particular) rate and rank the most relavant pages baffles me. I understand that the Web page header information is given a "value" as configured by the Webmaster here, and there are some other things that are important and given a value as well, such as the "backlink" factors, "link text" factors, whether the text is placed in H1 or H6 style, etc. Where can I find some straightforward information about this in the ht:''DIG information? I am not a webmaster -- far from it -- but I would like to see a more information for the people who add content to Web pages? Who there can translate all of that techie information about configuration files into something that can be used by the editors to create a more search friendly Web page?
