Are you being indexed Sir/Miss?
I return in a round about way to my previous blog on The Dark Lords of MetaTag Juicing (some of them are my sincere friends like SEO Guru David Jonah). It seems that Google is still bent on putting them out of business. The question remains "how is Google going to evaluate content in the absence of MetaTags as all trust in MetaTags seems to be gone", and rightfully so.
Obviously, Google employees cannot look at every Internet page so some other mechanism seems to be required. That mechanism seems to be "sitemaps". For the webmasters that are not paying attention you are well advised to see the writing on the wall. You see, Google does not care about your MetaTages because they don't believe what you are telling them about the value of their content. Moreover, they have decided to implement a system whereby they (Google) decides the value of your content. This is an important fact to understand because it is a significant shift in the "index me" paradigm.
If you don't see it yet you'll be sorry soon. The paradigm shift is that WebMasters no longer get the option of stating what their content is about but rather that the almighty Google will now decide what your content is about. Google is obviously tired of people abusing MetaTags by telling them that web pages with content about Apples are actually about Oranges and have decided to take action in a serious way to address the issue.
The Emerging Index Paradigm and the SITEMAP!
For those of you that have not stared to look into the emerging concept of a SITEMAP I recommend strongly that you start to look into it in a very serious way because it is the future as Google defines it in the area of Internet search.
There are two sides to the SITEMAP methodology that I can see from my perspective:
1. Tell Google what URLs on your site that you want them to index via a SITEMAP.
2. Google uses the SITEMAP to crawl the site for the URLs that you specify. It then uses a proprietary and secretive approach to determining the ranking of the content on your website and you have no say in the matter.
Well actually you do, if you know how to use work their system of website and webpage ranking to elevate your search results position. It's all about creating interlinked content and internal website content that refers to trusted external website content. The question is: How do I take all of the content I have now and easily turn it into a "Content Zone(TM)" that Google is willing to rank at a higher level.
That's where Cirilab's Knowledge Maps come into play. Cirilab's Knowledge Maps are Google Sitemap aware. More importantly, Knolwedge Map content is interlinked because the content is in fact inter-relative within the Content Zone.
There is another key to the success of this approach with Google Sitemaps but you'll need to figure that one out on your own!
