I just doit; now 10 minutes I have deployes my link exchange community application; in this moment it will be avaible only for my site visitors, no SEO for this, but you can view and test the process of link exchange; Free, simple, and lovely to use, this application comes instead of paba project that was lost because, probably, the involved number of persons/visitors/editors was to small - it was concepted for a little community; here the community will be contain anyone who wants to get into it. Enjoy it and let my know about functinalities that aren't wrking or you willl like to see there,

Regarding Search Engine Optimization there are many techniques to do this. First step, in my opinion, is to optimize inside of your site. This means that your site should look somehow ... should look SEO.

A very important problem is the HTML code. It has to be valid. Check your site as long you can and improve it until you get the needed results: perfect. This is very important because almost search engine are parsing your site, and if you have problem this will be reflected there.

Another idea is the page title. It is somehow a respect for your client; you show him what he will get. So the title should contain the subject and, optional, your signature. Nothing more and nothing else. The client will reject you if you try to „spam” it. The same behavior will be and with the search engines. And you don’t want this, because Google is important!

Many people believe that meta-tags are very important. Yes this is important, but not as important as the content. The meta-keywords content and meta-description should contain something about your page content; also, the keywords must be refunded in the web page, this is very important.

The content should be clear, simple. There are some people who fail, believing that if they put the words with a standard quantity, percents, they will get into the top. Totally wrong! When you build a search engine, this should be based on some parameters; an important parameter is the human; the human will give to you a clear response about your page: yes and now. You will receive this response from ... the search engines, usually they know better your clients behavior.

The links that are on your site should be absolute url! That means that all your links will start with http://www.domain.com/; in this way, when the robot will get to you link will know exactly where to go, there will not be a spider decision, it will be exclusively your decision.

I write in a previous post something about „always to use www”. Yes, this is important because of the statistics. Latter you will learn how to make queries at the search engines, to see how you are indexed.

For this moment this is all... success!

Yes, maybe you don't remember but I write a post, a few days ago about this ftp robot. Now I am able to announce you a "Gamma" version of this application. No help, nothing there that can help you to use (but you have your intuition ) but it is working. Somehow this is what we need for PABA: a application that will upload a set of files to a specified list of ftp acounts. This version is avaible to be instaled and used from this link http://www.pan-internet.com/apps/panFtp/publish.htm  but there is nothing about using it, and the author isn't responsible on this application behaviour (this is a expression generally used in open-source/free application development). That's why it is "Gamma"; or maybe still "Omega".

This problem appear because of time missing (a problem that ocurs on my head since....i don't remember exactly when it comes in my life , but somehow I will handle and this); that's why I belive that "Gamma" is the perfect version for this. In next weeks I will continue to develop this, I hope that I will do this faster and faster; and also there will be and a how-to. A simple documentation - also the entire application was builded to be simple to use and transparent in it's behaviour.

Enjoy it!
