hello, szupie

I meant the content theme, of course. you see, SEs start out by indexing your website, which is basically what the "robots" do. the next step is that your site is ran into a complex set of algorithms to analyze it for keywords. now, if an SE finds frequent use of words like "hawaii," "luxury hotels," "spa," and "beverages" for example, their relational databases will assume your site has a "vacations and hotels in hawaii."

of course, these algorithms are not always 100% correct, but they're close enough. your job as a website designer is to make sure you're choosing the words that are searched for the most for your intended theme. naturally, this means you should carefully decide what your site's theme is.

and the fact is, SEs build these databases mostly out of users' searches. when a searcher searches for "java" and is presented with sites which deal with both coffee and the programming language, the SE will take note of the user's choice and use it to decide later which is the most popular choice, and present it at a higher rank later.

if you want to know anything else, or if I haven't made it clear enough, please let me know. :-)

When you say "theme", do you mean the content theme or the visual theme of the site? And how can the robot adjust the ranking with the H1, title or theme? I don't get how a computer can tell what is good and what is bad.

hmm... he probably think on content theme, because I don't see how an software can understand graphic... tongue.gif

one little trick I've found recently... If you don't want to get your page cached to search engine, you may use this tweak:

QUOTE
Q. Can I prevent Teoma/Ask Jeeves search engine from showing a cached copy of my page?

A: Yes. We obey the "noarchive" meta tag. If you place the following command in your HTML page, we will not provide an archived copy of the document to the user.
< META NAME = "ROBOTS" CONTENT = "NOARCHIVE" >

If you would like to specify this restriction just for Teoma/Ask Jeeves, you may use "teoma" in place of "robots".

Quoted from this page

so this way, if you are building a web, for example, and you don't want to be indexed on google, because you plan to change a domain name or server later, so you want to be indexed then, so that way search engines like google will get your final version of web, when you finally remove this tag. wink.gif
