Site Reference Forums

G'day Jan.

It's all true and you should believe it all, including what WS said above.

The advice you got on SR was all relevant and sound. The response from your host is all true.

There are choices there for you to make. The criteria  for making those choices have to do with just what you want to accomplish.

Now, here are some things that I think you should do in order to decide for yourself which way to go, rather than relying on others telling you what to believe:

1)  Go back over all your questions and responses on SR. There are clearly several things you need to get your head around. Perhaps the main one is targeting a different search term on every page so that you've got many search terms covered over the entirety of your site.

2)  Go to the following free online tool and run several of your pages, including your home page, through it. http://www.pagerank.net/search-engine-simulator/ You'll see that what you are presenting to the SEs, first up on every page, is exactly the same content. Ask yourself , "If the robots are set up to look for good, unique content, what do they make of my pages?"

3)  Go to the post http://forums.site-reference.com/topic/ … -stacking/ and observe the little game (xperiment/demonstration) that we played. Do searches on SoraCross and forums.site-reference.com SoraCross See what you can learn. Click on the link that Gypsy gives and study what's going on and it's relevance to your situation.

4)  Regularly visit Gypsy's SEO site http://www.huomah.com/ (free). Follow the links from Gypsy's site to others with whom he rubs shoulders, such as: Andy Beard, Jason Kestral, Sexy SEO, William Schwartsky and the many others.

5)  Get a free Yahoo Geocities website. Build a website using the html editor that you downloaded, (EasyHtml). Experiment with the information given to you in the SR forum and the SEO handbook.

Use opal for your subject if you want, or make it on Dogs, Camping Holidays, Trees of South Australia, whatever you like. You could make it on Education. Get onto the press release for the federal and state ministers for education and you'll have no shortage of relevant content to copy and paste.

Doesn't matter what the site looks like for the learning process. It's the content development that you need to learn about.

6)  Now Jan, in this point I'm not trying to put you down; I'm just looking for a way to drive home the important issue that has eluded you, so please don't take offense.

Take a look at your subject for this post. It's not a descriptive title. Anyone searching the SR archives or searching Google would not expect to find information on unique headers under that search term.

Take a look down the index on the right. You'll see:

Feedback on php app

Extended Holiday?

Apache on Windows

Username stacking?

Button Madness!

Text color problem - Part 2

Difference in layout between FF and IE

Phpbb 3.0

Streaming Audio

Social Profiles - Got one?

You'll see that they are all descriptive of what the post is about and use the post's main keyword.

Your post will get indexed in Google, today or tomorrow, I expect. The URL is http://forums.site-reference.com/topic/ … o-believe/

You are catering for site visitors who want to find out if there is life after death, real reasons behind the Iraq War, will the Fuel Watchdog reduce petrol prices. Got the picture?

So Jan, if you go to work on all this, and more, you'll know for yourself and won't be dependent on others to tell you what to believe about unique content.

Just one more thing, Jan:
Has your website broken the $1,000 a week barrier, yet? What will you need to do to break this barrier?

Best wishes,
Laurie.

Hi,
Every time  i  read the replies or other posts on site reference i pick up a little information..
The more information i understand  from one post the more i understand from the next. (if you know what i mean lol)
I  understand what you mean Laurie.. up to a point.
When you know so little about a subject  its not easy , especially when everyone has an idea how things work and they don't all agree lol..   I'm getting there slowly and will keep at it .
Waveshoppe  your advice is alway worth reading and i thank you.
The less technical the information is  the better for me .
As for extra work , i am prepared to do that .
You have both given me , yet again,another direction to go in.
Very slow proccess this learning thing is for me ,I learn things quicker  when its hands on ,but when i have to put something i know nothing about into my head it takes time to understand it all.
And Laurie im still following up on information you have given me in the past . So you haven't wasted your time .
