It has been debated that private domain registration may affect your ability to rank in the search engines, due to the fact that you may be a spammer and might be trying to hide something. Many people won’t do it because they think that if you are a legitimate business, you don’t have anything that needs to be hidden from prying eyes.

I just found this Blog syndication tool the other day and thought I would share it with the world. Blogrush is basically a widget that you can install on your blog and will show other people’s blogs on it. You get to choose what kind of content you show on your site and your blog entries will show on other sites with similar content whose owners have also signed up for Blogrush.
Sounds like it may bring in some traffic if Blogrush actually has enough users signed up. I haven’t actually tested it out yet, but will be trying it out on a different website.

<head>
<title>Enter Page Title Here</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”This shows up in the search engine listings. Catch the searchers attention.” />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Keyword, Keywords, etc.” />
</head>

Do you know how to optimize a web site for the search engines? Or do you even know what Search Engine Optimization is for that matter? If you don’t know what search engine optimization is, the basic definition is that SEO is the process of improving the quality of traffic and the website’s prominence in the search engines via “organic” or natural and free listings.
People often think of SEO as just tossing keywords into each page and calling it a night. Sorry folks, but this just isn’t the way it works.
