The Google Webmaster Guidelines
Stefano A Gazziano [email protected] 19
◦ What is the Page
Rank
◦ How to check a page rank (one of the many PR check sites) or Google
◦ A word of caution on page rank
- Use explanatory names for the page <title> web design course at JCU University Rome Italy </title>
i.e. include keywords in <title>
- Forget about <meta> tags <meta name="keywords"
content="website conversion, web conversion rate,improve,sell online,website, web site,make money"> is irrelevant now
- Update website frequently, and let it be visited by non unique IP's, spread your link into high ranking websoites (blogs are ok)
- <h1> and <h2> mention <title> words and matches same words in text, Be reasonable - excesses are considered cheating and punished harshly by Google
- Submit it to Google at http://www.google.com/addurl.html.
- Submit a Sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools. Google uses your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase our coverage of your webpages.
- Make sure all the sites that should know about your pages are aware your site is online.
What is Googlebot?
Googlebot is Google's web crawling bot (sometimes also called a "spider"). Crawling is the process by which Googlebot discovers new and updated pages to be added to the Google index. See Google Webmasters Tools Help
DON'T:
- use more than 100 unique links in the same page - use more than 2 dyn links - put page more than 3 click links away from home page - require "session id" or "registration" cookies - split the page into frames - redirect before showing contents - use forms to submit, drop down menus, search boxes, login required

Ne sono esempi i siti delle grandi aziende, dei giornali o reti media, ma anche i blog, le newsletter, i siti di ecommerce
Il vantaggio dei CMS è la realizzazione di siti web senza alcuna conoscenza di HTML, CSS o altri linguaggi tecnici ICT
I piu’ comuni CMS : - Facebook Wordpress Joomla Plone Media Wiki Microsoft Share Point Facebook
JOOMLA Considerato il piu’ diffuso in rete, ca il 3% di tutti i siti web del mondo web sono basati su Joomla. Adatto ad operazioni medio e medio-grandi «Local / Web application»
Getting started with Analytics involves three simple steps: Sign up
◦ Visit the Analytics website at http://www.google.co.uk/analytics. ◦ Click the "Sign up Now" link underneath the Access Analytics button. ◦ Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account. If you do not yet have a Google Account, you can
create one at this point.
Set Up Your Account It's important to set up your account or accounts correctly in order to get the most out of your reports. Read the overview of managing Analytics accounts, users and data to get started.
Set Up Your Tracking Code In order for your profile to begin collecting data and populating reports, you need to set up the tracking code for the website that you want data for. Learn more about setting up tracking.
That's it! Of course this is just the beginning, so read the rest of the articles in this Help Centre to learn how to customise the tracking code, link your AdWords account to Analytics, add users to your account and more.
The tracking code: sample
<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-Y']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();
</script>
Uniquely identifies your website and allows Google to track visits
Requires an account already set up, a web site online for long enough to make sense looking at insights, and at least one profile

Reverse SEO: not putting your web site high in ranking, but push down other "negative" web sites.
Define exactly the keyword (search term) you want them to plunge down in seaches (e.g. "my name")
Produce optimized and differentiated content focused on that search term (always "my name"...)
Update, and visit using "onion routing" to reach online anonimity (e.g. use TOR network)
Wait 2-3 months ...
The Google AdWords program enables you to create advertisements which will appear on relevant Google search results pages and our network of partner sites. To learn more about AdWords and begin advertising immediately, please visit www.adwords.google.com.
The Google AdSense program differs in that it delivers Google AdWords ads to individuals' websites. Google then pays web publishers for the ads displayed on their site based on user clicks on ads or on ad impressions, depending on the type of ad.
