Spamming the search engines can cause your site to be banned and dropped from their indices.

Achieving a top ten placement in the search engines can be compared to being invited to a party for the elite. Only the best of the best optimized web sites get to be in the top ten.

When web sites are developed with an e-commerce system they typically do not have unique names for each page, if they are using dynamic solutions.

To succeed in the world of e-commerce and on the Internet web sites must be developed to be usable by patrons as well as search engines.
To many web site owners, Google's Topical Match is more like a leper attempting to find friends. Site owners, like the Romans of old, have developed great inroads into their sites and captured many links during the process.
