File Names | Directory Structure

When building or adding pages to your site try using file names that describe your content with key words. Designing your site around a good directory structure that is search engine friendly will only help your site get spidered more often and get better ranking as well as top placement for your top keywords at your site. Traffic is what its all about...

Instead of just naming a file krb983/index.html try naming it after your site content i.e. seo-blog/index.html and that also applies to images as well... i.e. seo-blog.gif and not 120x60.gif -

TIP: - Don't ever name and image with the sizes of the image. Norton IS has already collected many banner sizes that get uploaded automatically to the user of Norton IS via auto updates so many people are not aware that certain size images are hidden from you because of Norton IS.

TEST: - If you are using Norton IS - Make two banners with the same sizes as these are named - 468x60.gif and 120x60.gif and upload them to your server. Now view the page to make sure the images are coming up. If you see them then your settings in Norton IS - Norton Anti Spam_Ad Blocking is set to off. Now turn that setting to on and then reload the page the images are on and check to see if they are gone. So don't name your images with the width of the image and name the image with keywords and not just 120x60.gif -
