RTSEO - The SEO forest has many trees

When walking in the SEO forest we see many trees - pagerank - SERPS - linkpopularity - SEM and a new tree RTSEO - real time search engine optimization.

The SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is the result returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query. The SERP rank of a web page depends on a set of search engine ranking factors. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) wants the highest possible SERP rank for a website or a web pages.

When you want to optimize your website for search engines to improve your ranking it's important to know the top search engine ranking factors:

The anchor text of all inbound links to your website. The link should always appear with your most important keywords.
Tip - change the keywords so it looks natural.

Use keywords in your title tag and other meta tags.
Tip- don't be lazy and change them for each page of your website.

Page rank and link popularity. The number and quality of links that are pointing to your web site or web page.

The diversity of domains that link to your web site. Try to focus on getting inbound links from different websites.
Tip- use www.linkexchange.learnandenjoy.com

Keyword use in root domain.
Tip - keywords in subdomains www.french.learnandenjoy.com.


A trick I also use:

Use relevant keywords in the “alt” and in the “title” attribute of your IMG-tag:

This will increase the keyword density as well as the relevancy of each keywords for your web page.
This will ensure that your page is search engine optimized.
It will increase the visibility of your images on various search engines like Yahoo and Google.

Roses are red ... valentine love poems

Roses are red can refer to a specific poem inspired by that poem.
The most common modern form of the poem is:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet;
And so are you.

The origins of the poem may be traced back as to the following lines written in 1590 by Sir Edmund Spenser:

It was upon a Sommers shynie day,
When Titan faire his beames did display,
In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,
She bath'd her brest, the boyling heat t'allay;
She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew.

Those roses are red poems are often used on valentine cards or to accompany valentine gifts.

You can find some original roses are red violets are blue poems on
www.poems-quotes.learnandenjoy.com.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
My flower of color
Will always be you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You're my garden
My endless view

If a website visitor does not have the specified font on his computer, his browser will select an alternative font, which can change the layout of the web page

Training the Times Tables


Today I translated my website about training the Times tables online.
You can find the website at Times Tables Test

This math website about the Tables of Mutliplication has several features:

- All exercises are selected at random.
- You can select the tables you want to practice.
- You can also do a reverse table.
- You can let the computer select (tables 2 to 9, 36 exercises, no doubles)
- You can select the lowest and highest factor.

My German translation for Times Tables exercices is on Einmaleins

I also have a Spanish translation for the multiplication tables at Tablas Multiplicar

Finally the French translation for my math website is on Tables de Multiplication

I'm open for suggestions about better translations.
