Meta tag crap...

[pornicopia]

OK heres the rub...

Ive been seriously looking at rankings lately and figured out they are all bunch of BS.. heres why.. I get massive traffic, good uniques and everything but every ranking script out there puts me at low ranks..

So I figured Id look into them all. Alexa is a crock of shit since it counts your rank via visits by people with their tool bar installed only, and can be faked with software.. So fuck that...

Google ranks by counting links from other sites to yours and through clicks via their site plus text content if all the articles on the subject can be believed..

I even went to google and typed in the word Sex..

At the time the #1 site as sexect.org.. I figured I would view their source and see what kind of meta set up they have...

<meta name="description" content="SEX,ETC. -- - A Web site by Teens for Teens">
<meta name="keywords" content="">

Nothing.. So that tells me meta is bullshit too..

So Im sitting here thinking that it has to be based on content text, and URL.. The biggest all the top hitters have is that the keyword searched for is in the URL somehow 99 times out of a 100..

Anyone have any free indepth insight they would like to post on the matter of ranking?

The major thing search engines look at is how many pages hard link to you. You might get tons of traffic from various sources like tgps or but if those links to you are all run through a script SEs like google wont like them as much.
Do a simple search for the word "porn" on Google:
#1 - Penisbot
#2 - Pichunter
#3 - Wowtgp
Now do type "link:http://www.penisbot.com/" into google search box and for each site you will see:
about 6,890 linking to http://www.penisbot.com/
about 5,870 linking to http://www.pichunter.com/
about 1,690 linking to http://www.wowtgp.com/
as you can see there is a pattern here...
This wont always be the case though as keyword frequency and placement is also important. I read on a tutorial a while ago your keyword frequency should be at around 7% (for every 100 words of text on your page you chould have 7 of them should be a sepcific keyword). Your site also needs lots of depth to get really good search engine placement. Lots of different pages all of them with proper meta tags and keywords.

meta tags are still good to do even for that little bit of traffic they help out in some SE engines. Backlinks and lots of pages indexed are good

its common knowledge that meta tags dont mean crap with rankings.. whatever scripts your using are useless so get rid of them and focus on your site content, layout, linking structure, and external links..
