Do's and dont's of onsite adult SEO

[killermule]

I was just wondering if there is something lying around that has basically the dos and donts of onsite SEO... like I know the SEs picked up on keyword spam years ago... but I was mainly just wondering about font size and colour. Like If I had really small text and the text the same colour as the background would SEs pick up on this?

I wouldnt be keyword spamming... I mean I would have descriptions related to the content on the page but stuff I just dont won't users to see.

Any help appreciated |:D)

as long as it pertains to the content of your website, i dont think it would technically matter but im no pro at that. if it dosent include anything content related then that is black hat seo and people will find what they ARENT LOOKING FOR. we dont want that. im still having trouble getting my site to stay in the indexes but i think i finally got that figured out after a bunch of tries so hopefully my seo will change real soon.

OK making the text really tiny and the same or similar color as the background is a FAST way to get banned.

I will give you a few tips but there will be an exchange.. Hit me on ICQ.

Using same color text is in fact keyword spamming.

I will tell you that when it comes to your website you need to have text and the more text you have the better. Be unique in what you say (don't copy and paste text from other websites), use alt image text but don't use text the case color as the web page.

I'm posting Google's Webmaster Guidelines just in case!!! (Find them here at Google)

When your site is ready:

-Submit it to Google at http://www.google.com/addurl.html.

-Submit a Sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools. Google uses your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase our coverage of your webpages.

-Make sure all the sites that should know about your pages are aware your site is online.

Design and content guidelines:

-Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.

-Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.

-Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

-Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.

-Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images.

-Make sure that your <title> elements and alt attributes are descriptive and accurate.

-Check for broken links and correct HTML.

-If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

-Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).

Technical Guidelines:

-Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.

-Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.

-Make sure your web server supports the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This feature allows your web server to tell Google whether your content has changed since we last crawled your site. Supporting this feature saves you bandwidth and overhead.

-Make use of the robots.txt file on your web server. This file tells crawlers which directories can or cannot be crawled. Make sure it's current for your site so that you don't accidentally block the Googlebot crawler. Visit http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/faq.html to learn how to instruct robots when they visit your site. You can test your robots.txt file to make sure you're using it correctly with the robots.txt analysis tool available in Google Webmaster Tools.

-If your company buys a content management system, make sure that the system can export your content so that search engine spiders can crawl your site.

-Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don't add much value for users coming from search engines.

-Test your site to make sure that it appears correctly in different browsers.

Quality guidelines - basic principles

-Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines. Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as "cloaking."

-Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"

-Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.

-Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold? that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

Quality guidelines - specific guidelines

-Avoid hidden text or hidden links.

-Don't use cloaking or sneaky redirects.

-Don't send automated queries to Google.

-Don't load pages with irrelevant keywords.

-Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.

-Don't create pages with malicious behavior, such as phishing or installing viruses, trojans, or other badware.

-Avoid "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.

-If your site participates in an affiliate program, make sure that your site adds value. Provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.

If you determine that your site doesn't meet these guidelines, you can modify your site so that it does and then submit your site for reconsideration.

yep, google knows most of the tricks of the trade

basically, if the guys at the top of google arent doing it, they know about it

the guys at the top of google are usually doing what you should be

[The Duck]

One thing.

Never try to trick the SE's, they are smarter then you and you will lose in the end.
