         <description> Search Engines or Web Directories 
 
 After you have built a website and optimized it by tuning its meta tags to the best, it is the time to get it submitted to major search engines and directories. So, that your site gets indexed by the search engines and the directories. There are lot of confusions in submission to search engines and web directories. Here, I would try to clear this confusion. A close study of search engines and web directory will sure help to solve this confusion.

search engines

When you submit your website to a search engine, it reads your site meta tags, looks their relationship with the contents, indexes you website and assigns a rank to your site according to the algorithm it follows. Here, you should understand that by submitting your site to a search engine does not mean that you will start getting high traffics just after its submission. This simply means that now the search engine knows about your site and its pages and would place you in its SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) according to your rank in its index.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Search+Engines" rel="tag">Search Engines</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/web+directories" rel="tag">web directories</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/search+engines+and+web+dire" rel="tag">search engines and web dire</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Prashant K Shukla offers expert advice on Search Engine Optimization.

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/SEO-and-Meta-Tags-/840330</link>
         <description> Every search engine uses it's own, very specific algorithm to index the websites. All major search engines keep updating their search algorithms quite frequently to give their searchers the best searching experience. Your website's place in the search result pages depends on it's calculation from the algorithm it follows. These algorithms are not changing everyday but are evolving into more intelligent and accurate. Yet, the major focus is on the Meta tags of the site.

These Meta tags are not visible when someone browses your web page but the search engines read these Meta tags alone and decide the place of a web page on its search result pages. It does so by finding the relevance of the Meta tags within them and with its contents. The most important Meta tags are the title, description and keywords. The first thing a search engine looks for is to find a relevance in these meta tags by looking at the keywords used in them and secondly it looks the relevance of the keywords used in these meta tags with the contents of the page.

The Title Tag

The title is the most important Meta tag of your website.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Search+engine" rel="tag">Search engine</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/meta+tags" rel="tag">meta tags</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/title+tags" rel="tag">title tags</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/keywords+tag" rel="tag">keywords tag</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/descript" rel="tag">descript</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Prashant K Shukla offers expert advice on Search Engine Optimization.

         <description>The Perfect Simple Pedicure

1.Preparatory Stage:

A.Position a chair behind a clean, wide bucket filled with hot water.
B.Fold a bath towel into a square and place it at the bottom of the bucket.This will give your feet a comfortable surface to rest on when you soak them.
C.Add half a cup of Epsom salt, a natural disinfectant. You can also throw in a few capfuls of Herbal Vapors, readily available in the markets.The best would be one that contains rosemary, eucalyptus and menthol -- three therapeutic, cleansing herbs that make the room you're in smell just like a spa.

2.Grooming Stage:

A.Use a cotton pad soaked with nail-polish remover to take off old polish.
B.If your cuticles are dry, add a drop of olive oil to the pad before using it on your nails.
C.Clip your toenails straight across with clippers.
D.Use a nail file to smooth the edges, including the sides. Best shape: square with rounded edges.

3.Soothe Your Soles:

A.Soak your feet in the hot water for five minutes, then rest them on the edge of the bucket.

         <title>Top 10 Muscle Building Supplements</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Top-10-Muscle-Building-Supplements/713562</link>
         <description>Top 10 Muscle Building Supplements

A question I get asked very often is: What are the best muscle building supplements? So instead of answering tons of emails here is a list I put together of the top 10 muscle building supplements.

1. Protein

Protein supplements come in many forms for example:
- Whey Protein
- Protein Powder
- Protein Shakes
- Protein Drinks
- Eggs (only the white part)

I recommend you stay away from soy protein or any type of soy, especially men because of the recent studies of how it effects estrogen levels. Protein is usually taken after your workout or with one of your meals.

2. Meal Replacement Products (aka MRPs)

Meal replacements can come in two forms, a drink or a bar. They are usually packed with protein, minerals, vitamins and almost no fat or no carbs.

3. Creatine

Creatine is great, it not fuels your muscles but it also reduces the chance of developing cellular dysfunctions. There are many types of creatine, but the most used is called Creatine Monohydrate.

         <title>Diet for Bodybuilding</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Diet-for-Bodybuilding/693934</link>
         <description>As you read through the articles in this site, you will notice how much we emphasize that a proper diet and workout are key to building muscle. If you don't follow the right diet, no matter how much weights you lift, you won't be getting any lean muscle mass.
The word "diet" usually makes people think of starving and eating weird foods, but it's actually nothing like that at all. You are already on a diet as you read! A diet is whatever food choice you make, if your diet today consisted of waffles and burgers, then that is your diet. The key is to taking a healthier road and fuel your body to build muscle faster.

3 Important Rules for a Bodybuilding Diet

1. Eat less more frequently, instead of 3 big meals eat 6 smaller meals each day.
2. Balance out your meals with 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 20% healthy fats.
3. Calorie intake should vary to keep your metabolism on its toes and burning fat.

So just to help give you an idea of what kind of diet you should be following to build muscle, here is an example of my personal Monday diet plan.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bodybuilding+Diet" rel="tag">Bodybuilding Diet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Diet" rel="tag">Diet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/bodybuilding" rel="tag">bodybuilding</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/feed+the+muscle" rel="tag">feed the muscle</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/prot" rel="tag">prot</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> To read more information on Diet for Bodybuilding, visit http://buildthemuscles.com/muscle-building-diets/diet-for-bodybuilding.html

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Muscle-Mass-Diet-Mistakes-You-Should-Avoid/693930</link>
         <description>I'll say it now and I'll say it a hundred times, a proper diet is key to building muscle mass. Whether you are an amateur bodybuilder or already have packed muscles on you, your diet is as important as your workout to make and maintain muscle mass.

Don't get me wrong, I know lots of people already know this, but the problem is that they go about dieting the wrong way, making major mistakes here and there keeping them from gaining and maintaining muscle mass.

So what are these mistakes? Why am I talking about them? Because I don't want you to waste time making these mistakes! If you want to get ripped fast then you have to know what you shouldn't be wasting your time on and focus on the diet and nutrition you really need.

1. Being Impatient

Who isn't impatience now a day? Keeping your cool can be tough and wanting fast results can drive you to give up on a diet plan quickly.

Many don't even get through a diet plan and already switch to another, because they think they don't see results. Truth is you won't see results!  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/proper+diet" rel="tag">proper diet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/building+muscle" rel="tag">building muscle</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/muscle+mass" rel="tag">muscle mass</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/diet+plan" rel="tag">diet plan</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/supple" rel="tag">supple</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> To read more information on Muscle Mass Diet, visit http://buildthemuscles.com/muscle-building-diets/muscle-mass-diet.html

         <description>Do you want to secure a top ranking in search engine result pages(SERP)?

I think every one is going to answer - Yes. And a very common belief is that add lot of most searched keywords in the meta tags of your web pages and see your site skyrocketing. But it feels highly frustrating when this magic proves of no avail. Remember, meta tags alone don't do a magic in getting better placed in the search pages. These meta tags sure help you to describe your web pages to a search engine and gain a better place in its results. But at the same time they help search engine too to prevent indexing of improper web pages. Which may have good weight keywords in their meta tags but having no relationship with the contents of the page.

Meta tags are the blocks which contain information about the contents of your web page and they exist into the head area of your web page. They are basically meant to communicate with the search engine. Most of the Meta tags are visible to the search engine only and not the visitor on your web page.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/search" rel="tag">search</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/engine" rel="tag">engine</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/optimization" rel="tag">optimization</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/seo" rel="tag">seo</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/search+engine+optimization" rel="tag">search engine optimization</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/meta+tags" rel="tag">meta tags</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/title+tag" rel="tag">title tag</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/title+meta+tag" rel="tag">title meta tag</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/web+page" rel="tag">web page</a>]]> <![CDATA[website]]> <![CDATA[search engine]]> <![CDATA[keywords]]> <![CDATA[serp]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Prashant Shukla is a successful webmaster &amp; author.Visit his website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysmartseo.com&quot;&gt;www.mysmartseo.com&lt;/a&gt; to read more articles on SEO.

After you have built a website and optimized it by tuning its meta tags to the best, it is the time to get it submitted to major search engines and directories. So, that your site gets indexed by the search engines and the directories. There are lot of confusions in submission to search engines and web directories. Here, I would try to clear this confusion. A close study of search engines and web directory will sure help to solve this confusion.

search engines

When you submit your website to a search engine, it reads your site meta tags, looks their relationship with the contents, indexes you website and assigns a rank to your site according to the algorithm it follows. Here, you should understand that by submitting your site to a search engine does not mean that you will start getting high traffics just after its submission. This simply means that now the search engine knows about your site and its pages and would place you in its SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) according to your rank in its index.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/search+engine" rel="tag">search engine</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/directory" rel="tag">directory</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/web+directory" rel="tag">web directory</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/meta+tags" rel="tag">meta tags</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/serp" rel="tag">serp</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/submit" rel="tag">submit</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/submission" rel="tag">submission</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/index" rel="tag">index</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/listing" rel="tag">listing</a>]]> <![CDATA[directories]]> <![CDATA[google]]> <![CDATA[msn]]> <![CDATA[yahoo]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Prashant K Shukla is a successful webmaster and author.

Every search engine uses it's own, very specific algorithm to index the websites. All major search engines keep updating their search algorithms quite frequently to give their searchers the best searching experience. Your website's place in the search result pages depends on it's calculation from the algorithm it follows. These algorithms are not changing everyday but are evolving into more intelligent and accurate. Yet, the major focus is on the Meta tags of the site.

These Meta tags are not visible when someone browses your web page but the search engines read these Meta tags alone and decide the place of a web page on its search result pages. It does so by finding the relevance of the Meta tags within them and with its contents. The most important Meta tags are the title, description and keywords. The first thing a search engine looks for is to find a relevance in these meta tags by looking at the keywords used in them and secondly it looks the relevance of the keywords used in these meta tags with the contents of the page.

The Title Tag

The title is the most important Meta tag of your website.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/seo" rel="tag">seo</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/search+engine+optimization" rel="tag">search engine optimization</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/meta+tags" rel="tag">meta tags</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/title+tag" rel="tag">title tag</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/description+tag" rel="tag">description tag</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/keyword+tag" rel="tag">keyword tag</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/keywords" rel="tag">keywords</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/serp" rel="tag">serp</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> &quot;Prashant K Shukla is a successful webmaster and author.
