It would be nice to see some topics on SEO, like the way search engines are changing, like having a separate category for Google, MSN, and Yahoo to discuss the differences in the three! and SEO Tips for the different engine guidekines and such!

The term "search engine" is often used generically to describe both crawler-based search engines and human-powered directories. These two types of search engines gather their listings in radically different ways.

Crawler-Based Search Engines

Crawler-based search engines, such as Google, create their listings automatically. They "crawl" or "spider" the web, then people search through what they have found.

If you change your web pages, crawler-based search engines eventually find these changes, and that can affect how you are listed. Page titles, body copy and other elements all play a role.

Human-Powered Directories

A human-powered directory, such as the Open Directory, depends on humans for its listings. You submit a short description to the directory for your entire site, or editors write one for sites they review. A search looks for matches only in the descriptions submitted.

Changing your web pages has no effect on your listing. Things that are useful for improving a listing with a search engine have nothing to do with improving a listing in a directory. The only exception is that a good site, with good content, might be more likely to get reviewed for free than a poor site.

"Hybrid Search Engines" Or Mixed Results

In the web's early days, it used to be that a search engine either presented crawler-based results or human-powered listings. Today, it extremely common for both types of results to be presented. Usually, a hybrid search engine will favor one type of listings over another. For example, MSN Search is more likely to present human-powered listings from LookSmart. However, it does also present crawler-based results (as provided by Inktomi), especially for more obscure queries.

There are a good number of topics that constantly come back to do the rounds in the SEO blogosphere. They are boring topics because they have been done to death and also debunked to death. I think that really they should be put in a box and sealed tightly shut, then burnt to a crisp using a blowtorch. After that the ashes should be buried in the ground and shot at. Do not dig these up again.

Here they are:

- LSI Latent semantic indexing

It’s useful yes, in computing. Not in SEO. Nuff said.

- Bounce rate and rankings

There is so much research available surrounding this that I fail to see how anyone can think that these two are related.

- Stemming

why would you stem words for seo? Unless you use a very particular stemmer you are going to create a ton of nonsense words

- Keyword density

There is nothing wrong with using it as a birds eye view of the text, the mistake is even beginning to consider %

Thanks
