Hey dude/dudettes :)

Any search engine optimization guru ? I need help, tips that really work to get top rankings. I have this really good project i can get if i show this client i know some shit about optimization and i can proove to him that i can get his site to the top.

Btw ...i've ready nearly every tutorial outhere but they're all the same... meta tags, title , keywords and contents. But none tell you EXACTLY what to do and what to do not ! For example, does index.php (the one that generates html coding) work well with search engines ?

Thanks
Damian

Well..search engine index isnt a big thing im into but from what i have learnt from the past.

1. As you said the Keyword, Title etc meta tags really help in the ranking/listing of your site in engines.

2. (I know this applies for google). Anything after the ? in a filename is not index.. so if you have something like index.php?blah=blah It wont be indexed. People have come up with solutions like masking the ? with other things (eg index.php/blah=blah or even index/blah (falsifying the whole thing so its like a directory).

Just my bits of advice :)

Good luck :D

Well just found out that google :

1) ignores meta tags

2) uses the PR (PageRating System) basically your site will be placed on top if your site has been linked to a lot from other sites. You know the PR rating of your site by downloading their toolbar and then with it installed, you go to your website.

3) google indexes everything after the ? as long as it exists. For example you cannot index set.php?set=1 if set.php doesn't exist or set=1 does nothing

This only applies to google but the rest i don't know. That's what i discovered.
