Spamglish; A Search Engine Comedy With A Language All Its Own
|
|
When the movie Spanglish hit the screens in 2004, it was dubbed "A comedy with a language all it's own." I don't think the producers even knew they were slipping a lesson for website owners who want better search engine listings into the movie.
In the movie, Adam Sandler's household needs a housekeeper. Enter Flora - a Spanish woman who is unable to speak a word of English. They have to figure out how to communicate.
As website owners know, this is much like trying to speak with search engine optimization people. As they rattle off terms like Organic Listings and SEM and SEO and SEP and SERP, the average webmaster begins to want a slurp more than a SERP.
So, let's trasnlate some of those terms, shall we?
- IBL is an In Bound Link, from another web site to yours.
- KWD is your Keyword Density, rated as a percentage.
- OBL is an Outbound Link. A link from your site to another.
- OOP is an Over-Optimization Penalty. You know... OOPs!
- PR is your PageRank. But only at Google, of course.
- Recip is a link trade where they actually link back.
- SEs are Search Engines
- SES (note the capital S) means Search Engine Strategies
- SEM is Search Engine Marketing
- SEO is Search Engine Optimization
- SEP is Search Engine Positioning
- SERPs are Search Engine Results Pages
- SEMPO is a Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization
And, last, but not least.
- SPAM does not mean Stupid Pages Above Me, and
- Spamglish refers to keyword-rich gibberish that uninformed people use as search engine fodder instead of well written interesting content that real live human beings would actually want to read.
Don't use Spamglish. Bots don't have Visas. People are what's important. Just like Adam Sandler said. See?
P.S. My most sincere apologies to Adam Sandler and the cast and producers of "Spanglish" for this little parody. I couldn't resist.

Some of us were informed by stranger webmasters that we were black listed and soon all of us realized, it had little to do with us and more to do with Google and their software and engineers. And the forums overflowed with information and assumptions!(they still are!).Google PR Tool Bar is down. Accepted...(related: Search Engine Optimization)
Complete Web-site Optimization For Search Engines (part 2)
Source code optimization.{title}...{/title}This tag is to be a winner. This is a primary spot to include our keywords for SE spiders, bots or crawlers ("spider" hereafter). {title} tags are the best "dainty dish" for SE spiders. They eat them as cakes, so make title tags to be tasty for them, about 65 characters long.{meta name=description content="..."}Important Meta tag. Very often the description you put will be shown at the SE searching results. To my personal opinion they have more important marketing role of attracting visitors than actual optimization. The SEs' trust in "description" tag as well as our next "keywords" tag has been greatly discriminated due to fraud and unfair competition. Make it no more than 250 cha...(related: Search Engine Optimization)

All About Google
If you read The Search Engine Showdown, you know Google is my favourite search engine. Why? Google always offers the most results for any given search (they currently have over 8 billion pages indexed), it's faster than the Audi Quattro we test drove this morning, and 9 times out of ten, in my experience, all the front page results are relevant to my search. In fact, I usually find what I'm looking for within the first few sites listed. I also really respect the fact that two college kids started it (kinda like Abalone Designs!) and that those two college kids seem not to have forgotten where they came from.
