Re: advice on Search Engine Optimization

AS to why it doesn’t show up in the first 10 results, that is because there are 
10 (or more) websites with better pagerank/seo for those terms. For example if 
your page on mysql issues has a pagerank of 3 and say 20 backlinks, then there 
are  say 15 sites with a pagerank of 4 or greater and 20 or more backlinks, 
then they would beat you (most likely) for those spots. If you want that page 
to come up, there are a couple things you could do.
1. You could get backlinks to that page itself, thereby increasing that 
particular page’s pagerank and importance,
or 2. You could get pagerank to the site as a whole, which would help other 
pages in that site, as the domain itself is ranked higher. Although ,if your 
site is not at least loosely based around themes like mysql, tech, and that 
page stands out as a different type of page than your normal pages, then I 
would recommend the first way, as google I believe has made a change to their 
algorithm that stops large sites like howstuffworks.com from getting high 
pagerank on pretty much worthless pages just because they’re domain is ranked 
so highly.
In conclusion, there is nothing particularly wrong with your site, it is just 
that your competitors have better pagerank/backlinks. Therefore, I would do 
things like put your website out on forums, perhaps write some blindness 
related articles for blogs/article directories and put a link to your website 
at the bottom, basically trying to get links to your site to increase it’s 
pagerank and thereby it’s search result position.

Well what happens right now as my site stands, when I type in search terms 
which my site mentions, my site doesn’t come up, so I take it that something is 
wrong with the way it is organized or something.  I wonder if I shouldn’t knock 
it down and rewrite it or something like that.  For instance, I have a blog 
entry regarding an issue I had when I was testing out MySQL and how I messed up 
on it, so I figured I would share it with the world to save folks that hastle.  
The address is: http://raeder24.org/MySQL-Issues.aspx, and when typing into 
bing or Google “MySQL issues”, nothing comes up in the first ten results.  I 
take it then that something is definitely wrong?  My eventual goal is to get my 
site to rank in the first ten to come up when people type things like blindness 
community support, Server, Windows Server, Microsoft Windows tips, and other 
tech things like that.  I certainly believe that my site is worth something, 
and if it doesn’t show up in a lot of places, obviously the rest of the world 
doesn’t think so, right?

I use google analytics, and that's pretty accessible for me, so I'm lost as 
well. Granted it's not really seo, but...

Hi,

I don’t know what you mean by “webmaster tools is not accessible".” I have used 
them to track links to my sites, etc for a while now and they’re quite 
accessible (unless something has changed recently). The only things that are 
(obviously) not accessible are things like graphs. There are just a few querks 
that can be worked around for example to add a site you have to route the jaws 
cursor to the pc cursor (assuming you’re using jaws) and then click on it, but 
that’s not hard to deal with, at least for me. And on the topic of being 
indexed by the search engines, you could add your site, but any good site with 
quality backlinks should get indexed without having to manually add it.

Hello all, 

I realize now that I should take back what I said about Google and their web 
master tools being accessible.  They’re not.  I’ll tell you that right now.  So 
what I am wondering is does anyone have any advice on how I can get my site 
indexed by the search engines if I cannot add it to them?  (I know that using 
sighted assistance is always an option, but I would rather avoid that since I 
need someone who knows what they are doing).  Thanks.
