OPE categories
Original Message   Jan 7, 2005 4:21 pm
Please list any types of OPE you people think are regularly discussed here. We want to put together a list to let everyone add "labels" to topics and reviews, to help differentiate what is being discussed for newbies.

Just throw the types out here...

We'll clump some into single categories later...

A couple of questions for you.

If the search Engines, such as Google, can pick up the content of forums, why would there need to be separate categories? Wouldn't it pick up the word out of forum content, bring up the forum, thus giving the internet user the option of searching the site, using the search option in the upper right corner?

Also, what determines what order the forums (strictly speaking forums here) are brought up on the search engines? Is it how many matching words there are? Or alphabetical order of website name? Sorry if you answered this only already and I didn't catch it.

Certainly, the search engines would look at the text and virtually ignore the icons. That's not the purpose of the icons, however. They are for the humans who actually arrive on the site to have an easier time finding what they came for.

There are literally thousands of things that can alter a sites placement in search results. Amount, and density, or matching keywords is certainly among those thousands of things. You have to understand, this is a whole profession, that takes lots of people working full time to make a site place well in search engines. You better believe we have people here dedicated solely to that task and any clever Web developer would be able to recognize some rudementary things happening here that weren't happening over at WTB.

When I found this site I was searching for a brand name and model. So if you could do.
Toro
Honda
Craftsman
Simplicity
John Deere
Case
Ingersol
Ariens
Gravely
Exmark
Karcher
Stihl
Echo
MTD
Troybilt
Cub Cadet
White
Red Max
ect.
These are some of the OPE guys that might be a search word. Hopefully others will come up with better brand names.

I think I may have missed the point of the question. But that's not unusual.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

My questions weren't meant to question anyone's ability at Abby's but were a question of 'how' as I thought I had stated. I see what comes up when I do searches, what brought up those searches and, when I make changes, the difference in the search results. I did not assume that that is all there was to placing a site in a search engine, however, which is why I asked the questions I did. Thank you for the information.

No, I didn't think you were questioning anyone's anything. I was just hoping you weren't looking for a real explanation because there is no simple explanation so I simply wanted to convey that fact.

A general answer to that effect would have sufficed.
