SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization". It is the process of analyzing your potential design and problems for search engines indexing and positioning. In other words, making your web site and its content attractive, relevant and visible to search engines and web searchers.

There is nothing worse than having a beautiful web site with excellent written content, though you still lose traffic or you even keep potential visitors away, while your site cannot be found.

It should be pointed out that the DigitalPoint Coop got flagged as a link farm so being a part of it is very bad. Members who were a part of it when Google brought down the hammer got creamed in the rankings.

Cool news Stymie. I was always wondering all the time, how comes that they haven't been flagged before. :)

That was and is obviously a link farm.

They did get away with it for a long time. But when they got caught the hammer came down hard. :)
