How to Avoid Being Blacklisted by the Search Engines
The best way to avoid being blacklisted by the search engines is to avoid using some questionable techniques that were once popular to gain high rankings. Even if your website is not blacklisted by using some of the techniques below, it may be penalized (buried in the rankings) so your traffic will suffer all the same. When a search engine blacklists a website it will throw your listing off their site and block your site from coming aboard again. This can be done by blocking the domain name, the IP address or both.

Link Myths
As competition among websites increase, close attention is being paid to rankings in major search engines. Since a high ranking in a keyword can "make or break" a business, webmasters are looking to find any method to increase their ranking.

Search Engines and Consumer Behavior
When web sites are developed with an e-commerce system they typically do not have unique names for each page, if they are using dynamic solutions. Other solutions require creating web pages that promote the products placed on that page; and, again they don't have the name of the individual products. These solutions don't help much for various reasons.

Breadcrumbs
Hansel and Gretel were walking through the woods and dropping breadcrumbs along the way to aid in helping find their way back home. While this is a children's story with multiple meanings, it does, in fact, hold a message for web designers. Deep sites should have some form of back navigation.

The Strategy of Search
There's a reason not every chess piece moves the same way. Together, you can use the tactical advantages of a knight, a queen or a rook to execute your strategy. There are chess players that react to every move as it comes, playing the game at a purely tactical level. This is the way most of us start (and pretty much still the way I play). You don't think ahead to what the next move could be. Strategy plays no part. Each turn, you look at the board and make what appears to be the best move.

Reciprocal Linking Overload-Any Old Link Back Will Do?
So you want to get a Google top page rank and get your site listed on the first page when an internet surfer types in your keywords, right?!? Of course you do.
