			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Presently almost all the sites are dynamic in nature. A developer cannot avoid using frames and dynamic functions to add functionalities to a site. It&#8217;s a myth that SE&#8217;s dont index dynamic pages, one should not hurt the development process just for seeking a SE friendly website. SE&#8217;s do love naturally developed sites and they give them equally importance too.</p>
<p>here are few tips which explains the SEO view points in brief.</p>
<p>If your website is design heavy and uses Frames, Dynamic URLs or Flash, you may have some additional worries when setting up your SEO, but there is a solution too.</p>
<p>Do not use frames if you can help it, try to avoid then as search engines will not read any real content within your website, resulting in very low page rankings.</p>
<p>If you feel that using dynamic URLs (any URL that contains ?, &#038;, %, +, =, $, cgi-bin, .cgi) may not be ranked well and the URL should be reconfigured into something the search engine can recognize. Then you can go for URL rewriting using a function called Mod_rewrite which your developer can easily configure.</p>
<p>Search engines still cannot read most home pages made with Flash since they often do not contain any copy. Making sure your Flash home page carries excellent title, meta tags and few words about your site will help ensure a ranking for your site. Make minimum use of animations to prevent increase in your page load time, also visitors who are using low bandwidth may face trouble viewing your page. A website which load faster is good for visitors as well as SE&#8217;s.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A picture speaks a thousand words. Or, in the case of SEO, a few selected keywords. Using the “alt” attribute for SEO can increase your ranking on search engines.</p>
<p>Users often have their image readers turned off when surfing the web and images can contain code that is read by search engines. The alt=”keyword phrase here” coding is a good place to put commonly misspelled keywords, plurals or repeat the keyword phrasing from the content, title tag, meta description or copy of your website.</p>
<p>Keep your description brief and only use 2-3 keywords per image while accurately describing the image.</p>
<p>Again, I repeat, Do Not Try to Trick the Search Engine. While it may be tempting to duplicate webpages from your website for increased SEO, the search engines are smarter than you are so don’t do it. Listing keyword phrasing on your page in succession is a surefire way to get caught “cheating” by search engines and may result in your site being blacklisted.</p>
<p>Having strong content that utilizes your keyword phrasing in readable copy is the straight-and-narrow approach to legitimizing your website. Do not put keyword phrasing in the same color as the background to “hide” it or blend it into your website, this will be read by the search engines and will result in your website being kicked out of the search engine, leaving you high and dry with no hope of being listed.</p>
<p>Avoid ALT Stuffing at any cost and follow the guidelines set by SEO practitioners who have spent years of research before coming out to a conclusion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Think hard about your title tag! Your title tag is the 50-80 character description of your website that search engines will read. Each page of your website can have its own title tag and you can vary your keyword phrasing appropriately.</p>
<p>It is recommended to include 1-2 of your most important keyword phrasing but do not include so much keyword phrasing that your title tag becomes full of unreadable sentences. The title tag must be able to be read as a fluid sentence, so creative use of copy is a must.</p>
<p>If you simply place your keyword phrasing without making it a sentence, search engines will recognize your website as spam and you risk the possibility of being blacklisted.</p>
<p>Your title tag is the short description that comes up in the results of a search engine. Placing your keyword phrasing at the beginning of your title tag will ensure that search engines read it and it is displayed for users to view.</p>
<p>Since some title tags are longer than others and different search engines allow different amounts of copy to appear, it is important to keep your keyword phrasing a the beginning of the title tag to make sure it is not edited out by the search engine.</p>
<p>Using appealing and charming title tags will draw more people to choose your website description and click on it.</p>
