			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> What Gets the scrapers to target your website in the first place?</strong></p>
<p>1. If Your website is a very popular site in your niche and getting lots of traffic from search engines, it means that your website URLs are crawled very highly and this makes it easy for scrapers to steal the content and make a <strong>MADE FOR ADSENSE(MFA)</strong> sites putting your content.</p>
<p>2. Some are marketing analytics for advertising companies to gather data about you and your company and sell it to advertisers for profit. The marketing strategies involve continuous observations on following factors</p>
<li>Charting Your Internet Mind Share and Buzz Index with sites like compete.com, quantcast.com or spyfu.com gives good info about your websites</li>
<li>Tracking On-Line Opinion and Issues</li>
<li>Listening In on Word of Mouth and </li>
<li>Customer Generated Media — Blogs,Consumer     Portals, Special Interest Sites, Political Cause Networks, On-Line News Services, and Archives.</li>
<p>In the recent times, Many people seem to post about sitemap.xml suffering a problem with content. In the sitemap you give a title, description and URL of the webpages in your website</p>
<blockquote><p>Is the new content title and meta tag scraped before the sitemap is submitted to google by sitemap generators? And the Answer is <strong>YES</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The sitemap.xml file hands over a list of urls of website directly to any scraper who wants to make use of it for cloaking</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Cloaking is primarily used to show an optimized page to the search engines and a different page to humans</strong></p></blockquote>
<p> Excessively scraped sites can struggle in the SERPs- This means that When someone mirrors your content it&#8217;s possible for your page/site to get hit with a <strong>duplicate content penalty.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Some Ideas to make it hard for Scrapers</strong> </p>
<li>Including sitemap reference in robots.txt should be abandoned and all sitemaps submitted via ping to all search engines that use them and random generated file each time a sitemap is created. </li>
<li>A seperate tool by search engines that allows you to generate an .xml sitemap and as these are only for search engine use I see no reason name of file could not be randomly generated and it could also delete previous sitemap file.</li>
<li>A safe sitemap generator benefit in many ways than a free sitemap generator which might send info to scraper sites without your knowledge. I would trust one from search engines.</li>
<p>But&#8230;.</p>
<p>Any time you give scrapers a clear path to avoid honey pots and spider traps they&#8217;ll use it. With that said, the scrapers can simply scrape a search engine first using site:mydomain.com to get the equivalent of a sitemap and avoid your spider traps anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You’re in a rush, you need to find a parking spot &#8211; and there&#8217;s nothing available! Well, how about finding a parking spot on your mobile phone; or maybe even reserving a spot from home via your browser? This kind of Web-based car parking solution is in its infancy, but we think this solution is going to change the way people park their cars &#8211; especially when in a rush!</p>
<p>So far, the early leaders in the parking space are the UK based Findacarpark.com, parkatmyhouse.com, peasy.com, the highly touted spotscout.com, and the Chicago-based ParkWhiz.com (although ParkWhiz has yet to fully launch their service).</p>
<p>These parking services aim to take a small percentage of the parking marketplace and/or provide <strong>targeted advertising through the mobile phone and web browser.</strong> Also I think that layering in sponsored events and activities with searches, could be very powerful &#8211; if they can better target me by my previous search history. In addition, <strong>I expect these online parking services to be mashed in to e-vite services and event 2.0 sites</strong>, as an added-value tool &#8211; like we commonly see with Google Maps. For example <strong>I’d love to get a classified listing on Craigslist, and click a link to see a Google Map and nearby parking in that area.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mere introduction of keyword density concept led to the destruction of unique content all across the globe. Without any regard to flow or customer experience, website owners around the world began shoving keyphrases into their copy like wild men. The results have been disastrous! Otherwise wonderful content has been utterly destroyed. This slaughter of innocent copy must stop!</p>
<p>The primary goal is to write content to see that keyphrases are virtually undetectable when read by someone with no knowledge of SEO. One vital step in making this happen is to carefully research and select your keyphrases.</p>
<p><strong>Common Mistake by Every Webmaster:</strong></p>
<p>Many site owners and newbie copywriters make mistakes like replacing every single instance of a generic key term with one of their chosen keyphrases. Doing this in moderation is certainly acceptable, but frequently copywriters get carried away with tragic results.</p>
<p>Example: </p>
<blockquote><p><em>Spanish Villas For Rent If you are looking for Spanish villas vacations, search our site for the best deals in Spanish villas. No other Spanish villas site has the selection of premium Spanish villas with the most sought after locations that we have. View some of our Spanish villas pictures or take virtual tours of our Spanish villas today.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Tips to relieve yourself from the mystery of keyword density</strong><br />
1. DON&#8217;T use keyphrases to describe your own products or services. Instead, use them to describe what your product or service is not, or what it is similar to or what it is better than.</p>
<p>Example:<br />
Any keyphrase that begins with the word &#8220;cheap.&#8221; &#8220;Cheap insurance,&#8221; &#8220;cheap sunglasses,&#8221; &#8220;cheap software&#8221; &#8211; the list is endless. It&#8217;s simply not a good idea to call your own product cheap. Yes, It is true that people are looking for cheap things, but that is because they don&#8217;t want to pay a lot. When THEY call your product cheap, it is in relation to price. </p>
<blockquote><p>But When YOU call your own product or service cheap, it degrades the product or service&#8217;s perceived value.</p></blockquote>
<p>Instead, let others know that your product is NOT cheap. For example:</p>
<blockquote><p>Unlike cheap travel insurance offered by other underwriters, our policies have provided long-standing, publicly held companies with a history of exceptional customer service. You get affordable coverage and peace of mind.</p></blockquote>
<p>The phrase is highly relevant to the page, you get to attract lots of visitors, and the copy is set to convince them that &#8220;cheap insurance&#8221; isn&#8217;t what they really wanted after all.</p>
<p>3. Position yourself against your product to show how you are better.</p>
<p>Example: Instead of using &#8220;web design for small business&#8221; for which you will target the keyphrases like small business, You can target keyphrases like &#8220;<strong>small business owners</strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>small business startups</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p>4. Breaking your long keyphrases into a sentence.</p>
<p>Example: for a keyword like &#8220;Texas Hill Country real estate&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>There is no more beautiful place than the Texas Hill Country. Real estate listings in this area are filled with stunning homes that.</p></blockquote>
<p> sounds like a very natural sentence.</p>
<p>SEO copywriting should be looked as an art rather than an assembly line task, your content will sound more natural, will convert better and will help prevent further additions to the already overcrowded collection of tortured copy everywhere!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why does Yahoo index only few pages of the site despite it being a popular site that does well in all other search engines?</p>
<p>For Yahoo this is the typical sign of a ban. Go over everything on the site. Pay special attention to any linking that might appear to be the least bit dubious; Y! (and historically Inktomi) has always been quicker to pull the trigger on this issue. </p>
<p>Generally sites tend to be removed the &#8216;most&#8217; from what I have seen and experienced due to linking, whether it be interlinking sites on the same network, extensive and reciprocal linking between pages, and even linking out to other directories from a directory-style site.</p>
<p>Junk SERPs is probably the best cause. </p>
<p>Once a site gets a &#8220;judgment against it&#8221;, as they phrase it, you can forget it in Yahoo.</p>
<p>I know Yahoo is near the top of Alexa, but if you look deeper, all their traffic is under Mail, not search! and that is very true. See the below data. When Yahoo was carrying Google&#8217;s results, we saw a solid 5 times the traffic from G. </p>
<p>Here is the data for similar audience</p>
<p> search.myspace.com   	 117<br />
en.wikipedia.org 	     116<br />
collect.myspace.com 	 116<br />
login.myspace.com 	  116<br />
profileedit.myspace.com  116<br />
bulletin.myspace.com 	 115<br />
viewmorepics.myspace.com 115</p>
<p>And the <strong>top subdomains of yahoo</strong> are mail.yahoo.com with 67.5%, login.yahoo.com with 59.8%, search.yahoo.com with 19.3%.</p>
<p>To conclude, Yahoo deindexes the pages only when it pulls a trigger on the site. </p>
<p>Whatever the filter may be You can actually see that Yahoo indexes or deindexes the site faster than Google does</p>
