There is such great value in quality content when it comes to search engine optimization, and this has been made apparent over the years. Plenty discussions have stemmed from this understanding and one of these discussions covers whether the content that comes with the service should be paid for or not. And it isn't so much about the requirement of content, as it is clear to see how vital it is to incorporate content when it comes to search engine optimization; it is the fact that people have varying opinions on the subject of payment for it.

What we need to set straight first is that the success that you are trying to gain by maximizing on search engine optimization relies so much on the text that circulates the worldwide web. These may come in various forms such as blogs, articles, tags, and other possible forms in which text can be placed to create links that will later on generate activity and points for your website. And what we must never fail to remember is the fact that we are not pertaining to just random blurts that even a child can put together, because if that were the case then everybody would be a winner in the world of online business. We have to bear in mind that people are going to be reading the material that you are going to be using in the process of search engine optimization; real-life people who eat and breathe and sleep just like everyone else. This means that the information needs to be useful to them in order for them to strike up the results that you are looking to achieve, otherwise it would be pointless.

With content writing for the purpose of search engine optimization, you cannot just seek the help of any run of the mill writer out there since not all writers are good, and not all good writers are able to understand the intricacies that are involved in this field of work. It is important to be able to have content material that creates as much results as possible, and in order to acquire that from writers, you will have to afford their services.

When deciding on a budget, you have to look at the time it takes for the person to come up with the content. Ideally, in monetary terms, their rate should not exceed that of your own if you were to compose the content yourself.

So, in terms of having to pay for the content or not, you just need to consider how everything works in relation to how effective the content is in order to have an idea of how much value you are getting for the money that you put out in terms of rates. You can always settle for writers that go by cheap rates, but don't expect to get so much in return for it. But if you want quality writing that rakes in excellent results, be prepared to shell out a few extra bucks.

You get what you pay for - and the same rule applies to copywriting.

18 - The magic number?Search engine optimisation experts who have studied page rank vary in their calculations, but there is a magic number in the range of 18 - 20 that they come up with. What is this magic number?

Well, it is the number of themed links from a page ranked page that you need to get the same page rank on your site. So get 20 links from PR4 mortgage pages and your own mortgage site should also get a PR4, for example.

There are loads of "ifs" and "buts"! The page should have no more than 50 external links and should be closely themed. More external links increase the number, less decreases it.

Does this hold water?Does this work? Well, looking at the page rank calculation in a very basic way and you receive 85% of a share of the page rank of the pages that point to you. So if 1 PR4 page points at you and that only has your external link, then you get 85% of that PR4 (about PR3.4). If that page has 2 external links, then that share is halved.

Apply that to a link exchange directorySo look at the typical link directory page. Say 40 external links on the page would mean that on a PR4 page, the links value is worth 1/40th of 3.4. But most links directory pages are lucky to have even a PR1!

Looking at the maths again, if you accept 100 exchanges with links directories with page rank 1 pages and each has 40 outbound links, then you receive back 85% of 1/40th of a page rank of 1, 100 times. Work that out and it seems quite good - it would indicate a low Page Rank of 2.

Getting a Page Rank of 2Going back to the magic number 18, the same experts also state that about 105 links are need to get a page rank of 1 above the donating site. So 105 links from PR1 sites should give you a PR2 - agreeing with the formula calculation above

Surely double that number for a PR4? Well, actually no. The experts calculate that again the magic number goes up by a factor of around 5 to increase the ranking to the next stage, so around 500 - 600 good PR1 links give a PR3 and 2,000 to 3,000 PR1 links give a PR4.

What does a link exchange need?So, what does this mean for the average link builder? Well, trying to find a good number of links from directories is difficult enough, especially when the pages must be themed and must be at least PR1. When many link directory pages are less than PR1, the maths really gives us huge figures and makes frightening reading.

But, the result is that to get a decent page rank through link exchanges would require literally thousands of link swaps through highly themed sites with at least a page rank of 1 with no more than 40 external links per page. Difficult enough to find a couple that fit this description. But 3,000 of them?

I think not. That is why I just delete every link exchange request without looking at them.

Web design and development: graphics: web: templates

This article describes how Dreamweaver implements templates. Technically, to use Dreamweaver templates, you don't need to know any of the information given in this article; but it is handy to know something about what's going on under the hood in case you need to troubleshoot a Dreamweaver template based document.

Templates are a tool that is used in many computer applications including Microsoft Word, AutoCAD, and other office automation and design products. Templates are useful when you have a group of documents that share many similar design features. You implement the common features one time in the template, and then just customize the template with the individual features of each document.

Templates are Used Only at Design Time

It is important to understand that are totally a design time construct. Only two things separate a Dreamweaver template from any other HTML document:

1. Dreamweaver template documents have a ".dwt" extension.

2. Dreamweaver templates contain specially defined HTML comments that define the editable and non editable area of the template.

When you create an "instance" document that is based on a Dreamweaver template and store it on a web server, the web server is completely unaware that the document was based on a template. It treats the document the same as any other HTML document, and ignores the template comments in the document the same as it would ignore any other comments in an HTML document.

Similarly, a web browser would be completely unaware that a document was based on a Dreamweaver template, and would also ignore the template comments the same as it would ignore any other comments in an HTML document.

Tag Syntax

Dreamweaver has two sets of tags:

* Template Tags are used in template files (files that have suffix .dwt).

* Instance Tags are used in the "instance" documents you create that are based on a template file (files that typically have a suffix .htm or .html).

Dreamweaver defines about thirty different template tags, but all of them have the following syntax:

where TEMPLATE_TAG_NAME and the parameters are replaced with an actual template tag name and actual parameter names. For example:

In the above example, the template tag is a TemplateBeginEditable tag named "Region 1".

The syntax of instance tags is quite similar:

Tag Pairs

Many template tags are paired, having an opening and a closing tag. For example, the "TemplateBeginEditable" tag described above always starts an editable region that is ended with a "TemplateEndEditable". The two tags come as a pair, defined as follows:

-- HTML Code goes here --- How Dreamweaver uses Template Tags

One of the simplest and most important things that Dreamweaver does with Template/Instance tags is to define what regions of an instance document (document created based on a template document) can be edited. BUT BEWARE . . . If you use Dreamweaver to open a template based document in CODE VIEW, you can edit any part of the document in any way you please -- but this is generally not a good thing to do. In Dreamweaver document design view, Dreamweaver respects the instance tags that are included in a document; for example, it will only allow you to edit areas of the document that begin with an "InstanceBeginEditable" (or similar type) tag.

When you have finished editing your web page, the Dreamweaver Instance Tags will remain in it, but as previously stated, these tags are ignored by your Web Server and your Browser.

Finally, if you update a template in Dreamweaver, all of the documents based on the template will be updated too.

Conclusion

Dreamweaver templates work by using specially defined HTML comment tags to mark regions of Dreamweaver template documents and instance documents. You should recognize Dreamweaver template and instance tags, and understand what they do, but you should only edit them in Dreamweaver Design View, not in Code View.
