		<description><![CDATA[Something strange happened in the sunny days of July: Google appeared to lose market share to Yahoo and Bing. At least, that's what the numbers reported by ComScore said. After the Internet ratings company adjusted its reporting methodology, something even stranger happened: the numbers didn't change.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[When ComScore originally reported its numbers, there was an outcry that Microsoft and Yahoo had used various gimmicks to give their own search engines an apparently larger slice of the search market. So ComScore made sure that its new numbers for July measured only  explicit  searches. The company no longer counted automated searches or  hovers  or anything but a user actually typing a term into a search window and hitting  search.   ComScore refers to this new metric as  explicit core search  and defines it as  user engagement with a search service with the intent to retrieve search results. ...]]></content:encoded>

This article will explain the various protocols that the search engine robots (particularly Google's) follow. It will also touch upon ways to help you guard against scraper bots.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Polite Bots There have been quite a number of articles on the Robots.txt primer. All have explained the basics of the robots exclusion protocols. Recently while working on removing some pages from Google's archives, I browsed through Google's Webmaster Central Blog over at blogspot and saw some posts by Dan Crow and Vanessa Fox. These posts explained how the Googlebot worked in detail.  Apart from explaining the robots exclusion protocol in detail, Google has new tools which allow the removal of cached pages using the Webmaster Dashboard -- we will only cover that briefly in this piece since I...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[A site map should be one of the most important and best maintained pages on your site; it can help visitors to navigate your site effectively and quickly find the information that they are looking for, and it shows your visitors that you care about their surfing experience. A site map is also required to meet W3C accessibility standards. An easy to use and carefully designed site will help to ensure that visitors return to your site instead of getting frustrated and forgetting it.  A site map will also find favor with search engines as it is basically a list of all of the pages in your site. B...]]></content:encoded>

How do you submit your site? And what will help you get accepted? Wayne Hurlbert answers these and other questions about this important Internet directory.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[What is the Open Directory Project? The Open Directory Project http://www.dmoz.org, better known as DMOZ, is probably the single most important directory on the Internet. Submissions are accepted free of charge. Sites are considered for inclusion by volunteer editors who review the sites offered for consideration in their very specific categories. The number of different categories is very large, and covers most of the topics found on the Internet as a whole. Why is DMOZ important? DMOZ listings are important for several reasons. The listing is given considerable weight in the Google algorithm...]]></content:encoded>

<link>http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Website-Submission-Help/Search-Engine-and-Directory-Submission-Automated-Manual-or-Not-at-All/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[If you want your site to be found on the Internet, very few people would debate the wisdom of submitting it to Google or DMOZ. It obviously makes sense to be listed on the premier search engine and in the top directory. But what about all those other directories and engines out there? Is it worthwhile being listed, and if so, is it better to make your submission manually or use an automated software tool? This article will examine these questions and in the process try to determine what to look for if you decide to use an automated tool for submission.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[  Introduction  Some search engines and directories make it virtually impossible to be included except by manual submission. The two best examples are perhaps Google and DMOZ. While no sites actually seem to encourage automated submission, it is certainly actively discouraged at a number of sites. This does not mean that there is something inherently wrong with automated submission. After all it's just an easy way to fill out a form. While Google does not allow automated submissions, they implicitly admit the legitimacy of doing so by providing an  autofill  button on their plug-in toolbar. Th...]]></content:encoded>

After a few months in the search engine indexes, your blog will find a boost in the SERPs as a result of the added incoming links.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Internet weblogs, better known as blogs, are fast becoming a very important category of Internet websites. As more and more companies add a blog component to their existing website, or as a cross linked stand alone site, blogs become part of the web mainstream. As part of that Internet mainstream, blogs are now finding entry into most of the popular Internet directories. The Open Directory Project, better known as DMOZ, has a special category for weblogs. Topic specific blogs are found under traditional website categories as well. The Yahoo! Directory has also proven to be very receptive to ad...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Directories: Then and Now It now seems to be lost in the mist of time, but way back in 1995 (and for several good years since) the first site most users turned to when trying to find anything on the net was a directory -- Yahoo! Supported by such popularity, Yahoo grew from strength to strength and became the 'definitive' guide to the web. A site that wasn't listed there was as good as non-existent. The phenomenal success of Yahoo provided a blue print for many sites. Hundreds, if not thousands, of directory sites were created, copying the basic formula: Human editors that scout the Internet, ...]]></content:encoded>
