			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all read seo tips from many great websites in addition to google web masters guidelines.<br />
Well there is one thing that I really don&#8217;t know if i should call it a tip or just a recommendation from experts around the web that is confusing me.<br />
I heard from few sources that I should redirect 301(permanent redirection) from the index.php or index.html to my root domain so if someone (including web crawlers) points to www.Mysite.com/index.php he get redirected to www.mysite.com , well usually a redirection is used to prevent duplicate content in this case or when a new page replaces an old one.. But in this case we redirect a very normal situation to a normal situation, let me explain:<br />
The web servers from their beginnings are made in a structure and options to use a default page that loads as we land in the root domain name, the web crawlers exists many years before search optimization starte to gain such popularity, and I assume that google also knows to &#8220;understand&#8221; the meaning of index.php and index.html, etc,,, files. </p>
<p>So, why this redirection is really needed? Im sure that many websites that are very optimized for search engines are not using this redirection.</p>
<p>Also  assume that crawlers that index the websites are usually skips these kind of files and in fact they should! since the root website already contains the original content of our main page. </p>
<p>Sow if you maintain your site and have a comments on this subject I would love to hear it here.</p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">1. Incoming and OutGoing LInks:<br />
Try to  balance between the links that are from your site and those that goes in to your  site.<br />
2. More content pages:<br />
Make sure that your site contain content  pages with visible text to the user .<br />
3. <strong>Relevance Keywords between  text:<br />
</strong>Use keywords and pharses that are relevance to your site  subject.<br />
try to Avoind from SPAM Words and use only real dictionary  words.</p>
<p>4. <span class="txt"><span class="contentpagetitle"><strong>Choosing  Keywords Wisely</strong></span></p>
<p>Closely behind link trading as the number one  SEO technique is keyword choice; keywords are the words or phrases that people  enter into search engines in order to find whatever it is they are searching  for.  If you want your site to be listed (and listed high) you need to think  carefully about the words people could use to find your site, and use these  keywords in appropriate and relevant places in your site.  You also need to  think about keyword density and keyword positioning if you are to use keywords  successfully. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><span class="txt"></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">If you’re building a site from scratch, you should  be thinking about keywords when creating the pages that make up the site as well  as when producing content for the site. Keywords need to be used in your page  titles and in META tags as well as in the content.  You also need to think about  using keywords in heading text, bold text and in lists.  Using keywords  effectively, however, is far easier than choosing keywords effectively.   Similarly, if you’re working on improving the rankings of an existing site,  you’ll need to review not just the content, but the markup behind the pages as  well.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Knowing what people are searching for is obviously  a fundamental part of keyword choice. If you don’t know what people are  searching for when looking for something related to your product, service or  company name, then you won’t be able to choose effective keywords that will  improve your ranking and ensure that people know about you.  Most general,  non-technical people will rely on search engines to find any of the things that  they buy online, and most people take search engine listings as recommendations,  using sites that only appear near the top of their chosen search engines  results.  Choosing effective keywords is about making sure your site is ranked  highly in returned search results for the most commonly used search strings. You  should focus on choosing keywords that not only focus on your products and/or  services but also on your company’s name and related subjects</p>
