Ok, I know this is posted all over the place on other blogs but it is too good not to post here. Even if it means my blog goes into the supplemental index again. :)
If all seo and website traffic techniques were explained in plain simple English like this. We would all be experts in no time at all. I’m a big believer in the “keep it simple” theory. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Please let me know if you enjoyed this as much as I did.

I went searching for the answer to this question and the only thing I found was a comment on Matt Cutt’s blog in 2006 by a user stating he read somewhere inside Google sitemaps that the standard only allows 2000 characters. I don’t believe this to be the case now, as most of my files have been found and disallowed by Google and because of my recent site restructure, I currently have 4394 characters in my robots.txt file. Does anyone out there have the exact answer on this? I will try to post the question again to Matt Cutts.

In my recent seo research I now realize Google recognizes hyphens as dividers in image names, urls, and body content and ignores underscores. The underscore is not considered a divider (separator) by Google. So use hyphens not underscores in order for the search engines to recognize your keywords. Also keep your urls under 30 characters as it may be problematic for search engines to crawl and index them.
For more info on dashes vs underscores, check out Matt Cutts blog at http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscores/

Many people ask me, what exactly is SEO? SEO is the abbreviation for search engine optimization. SEO consists of many techniques, that you apply to your website to help influence the search engines to not only rank your site with a higher ranking, but more importantly to rank the keywords you have carefully chosen that are relevant to your site, to list higher in the search engine listings. The bottom line here is to drive more visitors or traffic to your website, in order to increase your potential long-term customer base and profits. Read more on What is SEO?…
