Test Site for Search Engine interpretation - 6/13/2003 7:04:33   
At one time I had a link in my favorites for a site were you could put in the url and it would go to your site page and come back and show you how most of the popular search engines would show your site in the results. This helped make sure that my titles were correct etc. Does anyone happen to know a site that does this.

Thanks

I did the search with one of the sites that I built; so what does that all mean. It really didn' t tell me anything I didn' t already know - title, meta tags, links, etc.

Well, the search engines cannot read anything that is not there, so it would be surprising if there was content you didn' t know about.

It tells you lots though.

For example

- What text/keywords are appearing highest in your content, and which are thus more likely to be important toi search engines. This can vary a lot depending on how your pages are laid out.

- If you click on the link for " keyword density analyze this link" beside each spidered page you will see words that recur, and how often they recur, as well as two and three word phrases and their frequency. This will help you to ensure that the page is optimized properly (ie neither to few nor too many instances) for the Key phrases that are important to you.

- You can look at key word/phrase denisty excluding or including keyword and description metatags, which is important since most search engines ignore them so you don' t want to be relying on them.

There is other stuff too - play around with it, you will see.

The most important aspect of the SIM Spider is what it is able to extract from the url you are spidering. I' ve sent many people to SIM Spider only to find out that they had incorrect coding or something else was amiss and their pages were not getting spidered properly.

Pay very close attention to the results returned. Is SIM Spider seeing everything on your page? If not, then you have a problem somewhere. The first step is to determine where the problem is and a trip to the W3C Validator or the HTML Validator at Search Engine World is in order. Correcting the errors that are present in the html normally solves 95% of the problems with SIM Spider.
