Search engines back in 1996 where allot easier to fool than today's search engines, Even if you didn't want to fool them they were somehow capable of fooling themselves, Not to mention that the internet was allot smaller, so you would naturally be listed higher.

Today there are billions of pages on the internet, your website's pages will have to compete with many many other pages, and above this and that, search engines are such complex machines that trying to fool them is considered suicide (once they catch you your results will never appear on them again, not for the same domain or IP address that is.

Fortunately most of those pages are not optimized, giving you the chance to get your pages above them. This is not the case in many subjects, like for example this website is about web design, most of competition has the skills needed to optimize there pages, so we will have to pay very good attention to every detail so that we don't end up at the end of the list with all those professional web designers.

What we are going to do in this section is show you all those methods we are using so that you can use them for your website (that we hope you have created by using our guide).

You should always note that good design required good compromise, take a look at our website, We do not have Flash objects or java script on purpose, we also made minimal use of images and graphics, we mostly use text, something you and the search engine can read.
