| The topic of my presentation is on Web site Popularity. The web
site that I reviewed was searchpositioning.com.
This site is intended for individuals who want to increase the popularity
or traffic to their web site. Searchpositioning.com is an online service
and for a fee of $34.95 per year you could register for the services offered
by searchpositioning.com. I think this site could be helpful for this class
in that students who want to increase the traffic to their web pages, but
don't know how to do it, could register for this service, pay the annual
fee, and have the tools needed to increase their web site's popularity.
Searchpositioning.com is all about showing and getting your web site at the top of search results. A quick and easy way to increase your web site popularity is to use searchpositioning. com's Automatic Doorways Generator which uses mathematical formulas to instantly create a professional doorway page for you and your choice of keywords and keyword phrases. The automatic doorway generator works with the top 8 search engines which are Excite, AltaVista, hotbot, Lycos, Infoseek, AOL Netfind, Magellan, and webcrawler. These search engines are the most used by web surfers for searching on the web. A doorway page is a simple page that has been created for the sole purpose of ranking higher in the search engines for a particular keywords or keyword phrases. Basically, doorway pages contain mathematical formulas that are compatible with the search engines calculations of ranking a web site within the top 10-30 search positions. These pages serve as doorways to the real content of your site, without having to redesign or modify the content in your web site's pages. To create a doorway page for your web site you will need to fill out a form that ask for keywords that describe the content of your web page. It is recommended that you use 3 or more keywords to describe the content of your web page because often people searching on the web hardly use on one key word when searching for something. You will also fill in your URL address and which search engine you are going to submit your doorway page to. You can create as many doorway pages as you want to describe the content of your web page or for submission to different search engines. The more doorway pages you create the greater the chance of ranking your page within the top 10 -30 search positions. A doorway page appears in the search results and then it links to your web page. Doorway pages have been known to maintain a high-ranking position for about 9 months however there are other factors that may affect the high- ranking position. You will see results within 1 business day to about 3 weeks after submitting your doorway pages to search engines. I think that doorway pages is a good way for people to increase their web site popularity. The annual fee is not too costly when compared to other rates offered by businesses to increase the traffic to your web page. This is appealing to small businesses and individuals who want to increase the number of hits to their web site and not spend too much money. Another advantage of doorway pages is that you can create as many doorway pages as you want to help increase the number of hits your web site. There are other ways besides doorway pages to help increase the popularity of your web page: 1). Banner advertising--buy a banner space from other sites, 2). Awards--win awards which will more likely increase traffic to your page, 3). Start a newsletter or an online community, 4). Get linked to other people's web site, or 4). Write articles and put your address at the bottom of the article so that there is a link to your web site. There are many great ideas on how to increase the popularity of your web page all you have to do is be observant and use your imagination. |

| Q: What is the purpose of doorway pages? Carolyn
Agmata
A: The purpose of doorway pages is to help increase the number of hits to your web site. Doorway pages were created to help search engines rank your web page within the top search results. Q. Do you think that increased visitors to
your web site is the only goal of this design? What about keeping visitors
coming back to your site?
A. The main goal of searchpositioning.com is to increase the number of visitors to your site. It would be great if the visitors would return to your site, but this is not part of the service that searchpositioning.com offers. To keep a visitor coming back to your site is the responsibility of the author of the web site. Q. In your personal opinion, do you recommend searchpositioning.com to others or are you skeptical about it? Is it reliable? Wilfred Lee A. From what I read, searchpositioning.com sounds reliable. If your visit the web site of searchpositioning.com you could read some of the testimonies of satisfied customers. I am skeptical about recommending it to other people since I have not personally tried the service. Q. How beneficial is having this service to the average user of the Internet? Albert Ne A. This service may not be as beneficial to the average user of the Internet compared to individuals with small online businesses, organizations, creators of newsletters or online communities who may find this type of service very beneficial in increasing the amount of traffic to their web site. However, for Internet users and web page designers who want to increase their web site's popularity, this service could help achieve their goals. Q. What are some other ways you can increase the popularity of your web site besides using key words? Hyechin Kim A. One way is to use banner advertising where you buy a banner space from another person's web site and advertise your web site on it. Banner advertising would be more effective if you buy a space from a popular site so that web surfers could see your advertisement. Another way is to ask other people if they could put a link to your web site in their web page. Q. Is there an guarantee that the amount of hits to a web page will increase with this service? How much of a difference does this make? Craig Kawamura A. Searchpositioning.com does have a guarantee that the number of hits to your web page will increase. Increasing the amount of traffic does make a difference most especially for online business. The more hits to your web site, the more likely you will sell your products and services, which will result in greater revenues and success. Q. Do you think the services from searchpositiong.com would be effective in selling your product? Sean Marrs A. If using searchpositioning.com increases the amount of traffic to your web site, then I think it would be effective in selling your product. The more hits to your site, the higher the probability of selling your products. Q. In your opinion, would you pay the service to help increase the amount of hits to your web site if you are selling a product? Valerie Iinuma A. I would pay the annual fee for the services offered by searchpositioning.com if it would help increase the amount of hits to my web site. If I were selling my product, my main goal would be to sell the products and you have to spend money to help achieve that goal. Q. Of the several different ways you suggested
to help increase the popularity of your web site, which do you feel would
be the most effective?
A. I think that using searhpositioning,com would be the most effective way to increase your web site popularity because it guarantees that it will place your web site within the top 10-30 search positions when someone searches for keywords within your web page. Q. Couldn't you just put in your own keywords on your own web site since the purpose is just to put you on the first page of the the search engine search results? Kyle Michibata A. You could just put your own keywords or meta-tags on your web page but this does not guarantee that your page would be placed on the first page of search results because there are millions of people who would do the same thing. Search engines use complex algorithms and calculations when ranking search results. Searchpositioning.com's Automatic Doorways Generator uses mathematical calculations to help rank your web site within the top 10-30 search positions. Q. Why would this be beneficial to a class
home page since we can't have advertising on our pages, so number of hits
doesn't really matter?
A. Doorway pages is not a form of advertising. It is simply a page that gets submitted to search engines so that your web page could rank within the top search positions. Thus, this could benefit students who want to increase the number of hits to their home pages so that more web surfers could see what they have created and learn something educational from it. Q. Did it say many companies use this service? Evelyn Moss A. Sorry, it the web site had no information as to how many companies actually use its services. |
