Do you know which search terms people use on search engines to find your web site? Do you know which search engines send you the most visitors? Do you know how many of these visitors purchase something on your web site? You can get the answer to these questions quickly and easily.
I am observing that wikipedia articles are getting top rankings for many important keywords and keyphrases. It looks like search engines have taken wikipedia with open arms in their latest algorithm update.
The real question is that how can search engine optimizers benefit from the use of wikipedia. One idea is to install wikipedia as a faq on your own websites thereby helping to take advantage of the power of wikipedia working for your business.
Using the keywords and key phrases in the domain names are given importance by search engines whether used with or without hyphenation / dash.
Previously search engines where not very smart and hyphenation was important, but now it can be avoided and the search engines can figure out the key phrases in the domain names without using dash.
The use of keywords in the domain name is also good as people can easily link to your website using domain name and without their knowing, they will be adding your keywords from their out-going links which we also call the anchor text.
The language used in a document and the region / location of the IP address of the searcher has a major impact on the Search engine results pages. If the results from Google, Yahoo or Msn get derived from country specific portals example www.google.com.pk or www.google.co.uk, then the language plays an important part.
The SERP are different for the same keyword when searched by different country specific portals.
One reason is the change of data centre, the other is that search engines have started using local search features, google and yahoo maps are just another step in this direction.
