Do search engines take the names of DOM elements like divs and tables into account. So for example would a div called "some keyword" be better than one called "body"?
Search engines don’t index elements. When the page is spidered the tags would be removed (and possibility the content within the tag ie: <script>) and the straight text parsed and indexed. Otherwise scripts, styles, etc would be indexed and yeild unfavourable results.
They could however use them to navigate the page and well formed HTML will parse better and yield better results. Image tags could be indexed for image searches and links could be spidered.
I have a website, just want some pointers on how to get more traffic and show up in the search engines
http://homebizseo.com/SEO/Backlinks.html Creating back links is the #1 way to increase rank. Get you metatags correct for easy searching. Inbound links accomplish 2 things for a
website, increase traffic
and helps with Search Engine
Optimization (SEO).
Backlinks increases traffic. Just think of
all inbound links as a
commercial on the web that drives web
users to your site. When then links are
clicked the user is in your website.
Backlinks are that effective. If TV
advertisements were that effective you
would literally see a commercial and be
instantly transported to a fast-food
restaurant, car dealership or fashion
shop.

I’m considering the option of listing my website in the Yahoo! Directory. Before handing over $299, I’d like to know if it still has high value to search engine algorithms. I have heard that DMOZ.org has lost a bit of value recently, with the advent of social bookmark sites. If that is true, has anyone heard the same regarding the Yahoo! Directory?
Thanks!
well the yahoo directory doesnt give you a direct link to your site, so you dont get the seo benefit of that link.
It doesnt hurt, but is it worth it……. I honestly didnt see any changes to my traffic after trying it, and I still have less pages in yahoo than any other search engine.
I work for a marketing firm who specializes in website that have been optimized for search engines. I am thinking of becoming an exclusive ’search engine optimizer’ but am wondering if this is too broad of a category. Can one specialize in this and make a decent living? Thank you to anyone who answers with good advice!
It’s a possible career, but a very narrow area to look for a job. If you already have a job doing this and keep it, you can probably make a very good living, but I’d guess that isn’t what you are asking.
Working for a company that markets optimized search engines is very different from being the person, or a part of the group, that does the optimizing.

I want to make my website as search engine friendly, while reading information Search engine optimization i have found sitemap word.
please can any one let me know what is the sitemap.
From Google, Inc.:
"The Sitemap Protocol allows you to inform search engines about URLs on your websites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap that uses the Sitemap Protocol is an XML file that lists URLs for a site. The protocol was written to be highly scalable so it can accommodate sites of any size. It also enables webmasters to include additional information about each URL (when it was last updated; how often it changes; how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.
Sitemaps are particularly beneficial when users can’t reach all areas of a website through a browseable interface. (Generally, this is when users are unable to reach certain pages or regions of a site by following links). For example, any site where certain pages are only accessible via a search form would benefit from creating a Sitemap and submitting it to search engines.
This document describes the formats for Sitemap files and also explains where you should post your Sitemap files so that search engines can retrieve them.
Please note that the Sitemap Protocol supplements, but does not replace, the crawl-based mechanisms that search engines already use to discover URLs. By submitting a Sitemap (or Sitemaps) to a search engine, you will help that engine’s crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.
Using this protocol does not guarantee that your webpages will be included in search indexes. (Note that using this protocol will not influence the way your pages are ranked by Google.)"

How important is it to put a BLOG on the top level of a DOMAIN in terms of Search Engine Optimization?
I’m guessing that you are asking whether your blog should be installed in the domain’s root directory (and have the blog’s home page be the same as the site’s home page) or if the blog should be installed in a subdirectory or subdomain (and have a link to the blog from the domain’s homepage–or from elsewhere on the site)
As far as SEO goes, it doesn’t really matter much whether the site is in the root directory or a subdirectory. Installing it in a subdomain is a different matter, though. At Metapilot, we tell clients that as long as you have links pointing to the blog from other areas of the domain (and from other domains of value), the blog will most likely get crawled and indexed by search engines. If your blog posts are well focused on keywords and phrases, the posts can show up in at the top of the search results, provided the posts have enough links pointing at them from other web pages of quality.
There are plenty of examples of sites with blogs installed in the root directory and in subirectories, as well as in subdomains. If the whole reason for having the domain is to have a blog on it, then you have every reason install it in the root directory. If the blog is not to be the main focus of the domain but the blog’s content is relevant to the main focus of the site but the information on it will be complementary to the rest of the site, why not install the blog in a subdirectory.
If the blog covers an entirely different topic than the primary purpose of the domain, install your blog on a subdomain. The search engines will treat the subdomain as an entirely different domain and though, from an SEO standpoint, it won’t directly benefit from the authority and popularity of your top level domain, its presence won’t confuse your visitors, either.
