For years, it has been a 
game of cat and mouse 
between website owners, 
and the major search 
engines. Free traffic is 
cheap, and internet 
marketers have used all 
kinds of tricks in the past to 
get their site top of the 
rankings.

In recent years though, things have changed. 
Whereas marketers always had the upper 
hand, the search engines have been fighting 
back. Not only have spam, and Adsense, 
sites vanished from most results, many big 
sites have been hit.

The last major search engine update was 
Panda 4.0 from Google. This took out a lot of 
entry pages with little useful information on 
them. One of the biggest companies that got 
hit was eBay, who lost thousands of entry 
pages.

In the past, Google's updates have dropped 
many Q&A, and article sites down the 
rankings. The good news for the small 
website owner is that these sites no longer 
hog the results, and so ranking for some 
keywords has actually got easier.

Although strategies of ranking may have 
changed over the years, strangely, the basics 
still work well. For instance, on-site 
optimization should still be done. This means 
meta tags, such as title and description, 
should contain the main keyword. 
More info on: 
http://goldcoast.streamshare.com.au/seo/seo-company/
The keyword should appear between 1-4 times 
in the article, as well as the title, which should 
be in H1 tags. Any more than that and the 
page may get flagged up as being spammy. All 
links on the site should be working, and there 
is plenty of software, and plugins, around to 
check them.

One of the biggest changes is when it comes 
to backlinking. Long gone are the day when a 
site owner could just send thousands of links to 
a site, and that got them the top ranking. Now 
the search engines are very clever about how 
they evaluate the backlinks. 
More info on: 
http://goldcoast.streamshare.com.au/seo/seo-company/
Of course in the real world, a site owner has no 
control over who links to them, so Google does 
not penalize sites for this, even though they 
may make people think that they do. The best 
advice is to keep backlinking looking natural, 
and SEO basic.
