Some Insight on S.E.O. Services Q n A

Greetings members, as Admin of my own software website i think this will inlighten your way with search engines optimizations. The more web pages a search engine can find, index and include in the search results, the more entry points there are for new customers to find your web site content. A broader, yet relevant, footprint on the web can make a significant difference in traffic to a web site. If most of the content is hidden behind a login process, that content is also hidden from the search engines. Of course there are a number of good reasons for web sites to put their content behind a login. A common solution for making content hidden behind a login available to search engines is to modify the templates that pull data from the database so that an excerpt is pulled into a crawlable web page. The excerpt content and links between them would be available to search engine spiders and get included in search results. Search visitors that find the excerpts would be presented with a link to read more of the article/content and then be presented with an option to become a member, register or whatever the criteria for access are. Outdated content would be of no use to the customers so it makes little sense to allow it to be indexed by search engines.When content is regulated by an industry, it's obviously important to work with the compliance "powers that be" within an organization to determine how much information can be made publicly available. Membership sites also need to gauge how much information to make public before asking readers to sign up for more. A site with thousands of web pages can see a dramatic increase in pages indexed when using an excerpt strategy. However, it will take some convincing of IT/web development to make the necessary changes in the content management system and database, if that's even possible. Then there's the cost justification.To build a business case for making these kinds of programming changes requires some forecasting of potential traffic increases which shouldn't be too difficult using existing historical web analytics. I can help you out with that if needed. If your web site has undergone the programming changes in order to make some of your previously hidden content available to search engines, it would be great to hear about it. What were the biggest hurdles in getting budget, implementation and even how it panned out once the content was live?
