			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Internal Linking in Your Website</strong><br />
Ever been wondering if the internal link juice in your website is distributed in the most optimal way?</p>
<p>If you ensure that your internals links flow link power to your important pages, you have improved chances of having search engines index and rank them. Channeling internal website links to your important pages is a SEO process also known as PageRank Sculpting. </p>
<p><strong>PageRank Sculpting Explained</strong><br />
PageRank is the name of the Google search engine algorithm used to calculate importance of pages. It is done by calculating links and linking patterns across the entire internet. Google PageRank is one of many algorithms Google use to calculate and rank your pages in search engine result pages. But even with that said, pages with a high PageRank are more likely to bet get indexed more often and ranked higher in search results.</p>
<p>Realizing that internal links distribute link juice and PageRank scores across your website, it becomes an important factor when trying to optimize for search engine indexing and ranking.</p>
<p>If you optimize the internal linking to focus on your most important pages, you can give them a boost in search engines and search result rankings. This is the technique known as PageRank sculpting by people in the search engine optimization and website marketing industries.</p>
<p><strong>List of Tips to Improve Link Juice Flow</strong><br />
Experiment with link analyzer tools that can analyze and show how internal links flow juice and power to all your website pages. One such program is this <a href="http://www.microsystools.com/products/website-analyzer/">website link analyzer</a>.</p>
<p>Avoid leaking too much link juice on outgoing links of minimal quality. You can prevent that by adding <em>nofollow</em> to the links. Good examples of links to do this one are links in blog comments and links to social bookmarking website. Nofollow or eliminating these channels more link and PageRank score to your own internal pages.</p>
<p>Consider the pages that are important to have indexed and ranked in search engines, e.g. your content and product pages. Then focus internal linking on those.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Keywords are everything in search engine optimization</strong><br />
When you are designing your websites, you have to remember optimize at least the main elements for searchers.  Make sure each page use keywords in page title and headers that match its content. Do not make the common mistake of having your company / website name first in all page titles. Have the most searched keywords matching your content appear first in the page title.</p>
<p>The text you use in titles is the single most important element in a page that determines how search engines rank your web page. In addition, all major search engines use the title text when showing your website in search result listings.</p>
<p><strong>Cover search variations</strong><br />
Searchers, your future visitors, use unique combination of words when searching. However, if you use a <a href="http://www.microsystools.com/products/keyword-research/">keyword research tool</a>, you will quickly find some phrases have more searches and less competition than others. Make sure your page titles and content focus on the most important search phrases. This will also help if you are doing Pay Per Click, and are trying to optimize your quality score.  Remember, keyword optimize each page for only a <em>few</em> phrases!</p>
