Better SEO - remove meta description and keyword

If you have hard coded meta description and keywords on all your pages, it is better SEO practice to REMOVE it than keeping it.

    <meta name="description" content="Your description goes here" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="your,keywords,come,here" />

It’s better to define those lines for individual page since they are different for each page.

If you can’t maintain or have no idea what to be included in this two meta field, remove it for better SEO.

Force your visitors to visit WWW of your website.

Google can sometimes think “www and without www” are 2 duplicate websites and it could harm your seach engine result position (SERP)! It is better to force your visitor (including google bot) to view only 1 version of your website.

You can easily redirect all non-www traffic to www version of your domain, along with links to homepage or sub-folder. e.g. redirect yourdomain.com/aboutus.htm to www.yourdomain.com/aboutus.htm

Append code below to your .htaccess file, replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code above works with any Apache webserver with RewriteEngine.

Anyone knows what is the solution for IIS ?

Anhosting 999GB plan. Insane..

AnHosting (http://www.anhosting.com) has upgraded their plan to 999GB space, 9999GB bandwidth, and 999 hosted domain at a insane price of $4.95/ month with 4 years commitment. Or normal price $6.95/month for 1 year.

an hosting insane

 Obviously, it is unrealistic to use all 999GB space and bandwith on a shared hosting, they are offering this much bandwidth and space is because as a customer you do not have to worry about web space and bandwidth. See my recent “What is limited?” post.

As for the $4.95/month promotion, you have to prepay for 4 years to enjoy this plan.

As a customer, will you commit 4 years ?
