This is good reading for the basics:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization

There is also another thread somewhere discussing an issue with Google and it's method of indexing .TV pages.

Hope this helps......

The keyword swingers?

To be fair there are a LOT of sites about swingers, even from the UK. And those pages have been around and indexxed for years with plenty of links and what not. Chances of "swinging" to the top of the list isn't very good for a few years I would guess.

And I don't believe the hype about google not indexing tv's the same way. It's just that most of the sites are too new with not enough links and information about them to make it to the top. If someone can post difinitive proof that they are shafting tv or any extension for that matter, then I would look, aside from that, there really is no proof, other than opinions(just like this is MY opinion only), that google treats any extension differently than any other extension.

if i put ukswingers...its not there.

FYI: You site ranks 6th on the first page for "ukswingers" when I search that term.

For Yahoo, I have Halo.tv on the first page for several search terms (Halo TV, Halo montages, etc).

It's interesting that it's showing up for Yahoo and not Google though...

 

[hullswingerscom]

be interesting to know who has there tv site listed on google...
without having to state it is a tv site?.

I've noticed that too. Yahoo is easier to get a non .com onto the first page.

 

[TheBulldog]

Depends on how it is searched.....

The #1 for amatuervideo
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=amatuervideo

For electionnews
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=electionnews

for dallaslawyer
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=dallaslawyer

for dancingchannel
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=dancingchannel

for triallawyer
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=triallawyer

I know the results are skewed because I am searching it as a complete word instead of seperate, but I do get hits on all of them because people are lazy sometimes and don't put in the space.

It is just dependant on how they search, and what I have done to push the sites.

I can't recall which one, but one of mine is found regularly, and it is two worder.

Its hard to please two masters....

My GalleryGuide.TV site is #1 in Yahoo:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkmVeoApHXp0A4pBXNyoA?p=gallery+guide&y=Search&fr=sfp

While, Google has it on page 5:
http://www.google.com/search?q=gallery+guide&hl=en&start=40&sa=N

My GeoTourism.TV site is #3 in Yahoo:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkiNaoApHUowAmj2l87UF?ei=utf-8&fr=sfp&iscqry=&p=geotourism

While on Google I find it interesting that my GeoTourism.TV video page, hosted by Magnify.net, shows-up on page 2 on Google... but the site itself is on page 9.

... so the .net subdomain ranks higher than the .TV domain???
... also the Google search spiders read lines of code and use it as the site byline for the listing:

"GeoTourism - Travel for tomorrow -width='100%' height='100%' quality='best' loop='false' bgcolor='#000033' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi? ...
www.geotourism.tv/ - 3k - Cached - Similar pages"​

while Yahoo's 'spiders' read the actual text:

"GeoTourism - Travel for tomorrow -
The cool & sustainable world of GeoTourism. Search, audio and video community powered. ... Sensing browser for Flash... For PocketPC Click here! For Text Only ...www.geotourism.tv - 3k - Cached"​

While this is a small sampling it does indicate that Google is 'sandbagging' .TV domains... perhaps because of .TV's video centric nature and Google owns YouTube. "Yeah, ya gotta beats dat competition" (blind radio station owner in O Brother Where Art Thou). On the other hand... Yahoo could be giving a 'tip-of-the-hat' to .TV's to marginalize driving traffic to Goog-Tube.

Conclusion: .TV site owners may wanna feature Yahoo search over Google.

Edit: I just checked GeoCam.TV on Google:
Geo Cam as two words has Geogoo as a result on the first page even though 'geogoo' is just a page on a .net site. [ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=geo+cam ]

GeoCam, as one word, shows GeoCam.com at number one. GeoCam.com not only redirects to GeoCam.de but the site has been "Temporarily Closed" for at least a half a year. Both the redirect and the fact that there is no site/content on the redirect are BIG negatives in getting a site indexed, according to Google policy, yet Google ranks GeoCam.com #1. The only conclusion I can come to is that Google search results do indeed defer to .com sites, than .net ... and so on. [ http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGklrnswpH2P4AMsZXNyoA?p=geocam&fr=sfp ]

yahoo is far more better for my domains than google

i have privatevoyeur(.)tv showing for its terms from days 1st i parked it

I made the first page and first link for SanBuenaventura.TV in google.com using me.tv.
Keyword: San Buenaventura TV

Great thoughts and examples here EyeD, especially the last one. Very enlightening (and disappointing at the same time).

Cheers

the me.tv does not do very well on google .this is not good news for people who have me.tv sites.
you only have SanBuenaventura.TV on first page if you type SanBuenaventura.or San Buenaventura you dont this is what were saying.all in all not good news.

Google and .TV

Well, LocalExperts is the expert in this field and I know he knows what he is talking about. Maybe he can add his opinion to this:

I was always under the impression that Google doesn't favor one TLD over another. I think there are many different factors which come in to play when a site gets ranked and what many people claim to be vital to getting ranked high in Google is not always necessary. You see some sites and you can't hardly figure how they got there. No back links, little content, etc.

I have seen some sites with a .edu TLD be ranked on the first page of Google with very little content. Only thing they had going for it was the high PR of the University's main site and the age of the domain. For that reason alone there are ranked that high.

The GeoTourism.TV site is nice but I believe Flash programming hurts you on the SERPs doesn't it? You have very little content that I saw so why should you be ranked higher? Sure the site looks nice but in Google's eyes, what does it offer the consumer?

Just my humble opinion.

Yes Flash sites are harder to spider thats why I most always upload 'hidden' text versions for the bots to consume... [ http://www.geotourism.tv/text.htm#4 ], as well as a pocket pc / mobi version [ www.geotourism.tv/pocketpc.htm ]

GeoTourism.tv offers the consumer an info-tour of the new "Geo" world. As far as content... yes I need to add more... and, in time, will do just that. But, if I give away all the info online, for free, they have no need to hire me as a geo advisor. The site, by design, is there to wet their (geo) whistle with an overview.

Like many of my domains/sites... Geotourism/tv is a niche namespace so I do not bother with adsense type ppc, or other ads that 'sell out', or 'pimp', the information -in many viewer's minds. I try to attract quality traffic over quantity and have had some success converting high-end viewers to clients who are very interested in how the 'new geo' can benefit their business, recreation and/or family life. Check out the first vid on the "TV" page... when I mentioned Geo to Justin of Justin.TV he says "Yeah! we want to do that. Is that your area of expertise?" And thats usually how it goes.

Value-added info. is often more valuable to 'offer to the consumer' than ppc ads or 'filler' content.

Thanks for asking.

TV's on Google

Ah, I see. Makes a lot of sense. But I wasn't questioning the value of your site per se, but rather the value in the eyes of Google. If they see little content or benefit for the consumer, then they will devalue the site rankings wise. Which in your case doesn't really matter. As long as the site is doing what you want it to then great but that doesn't really reflect on the rankings in general of .TV's as a whole.

Best wishes, Neil

I agree Claude if you have an expertise better to get the quality lead that will pay 1000 times an adsense click.

"the eyes of google" are bot-spider-eyes... and in that view geotourism tv should look pretty good. It looks good enough to "Yahoo eyes" to rank #3 so the the question remains... is Google turning a blind-eye to .TV sites?

equity78: "I agree Claude if you have an expertise better to get the quality lead that will pay 1000 times an adsense click."​

Yep, one client is worth a thousand clicks... and then some. I got a new 'geo' client last week... a health food store that wants me to geotag the store so that it comes up in searches for their city, as 'keywords' are no longer enough. I loved it when the owner said "I can only pay $500, to start. Is that O'k"? I was about 3 minutes into a 15 min. pitch and did'nt even mention the cost. "Ummm? well... O'k" was my reply.
