Search Engine Strategies

Perhaps the most important -- and inexpensive -- strategy is to rank high for your preferred keywords on the main search engines in "organic" or "natural" searches (as opposed to paid ads). Search engines magic send robot "spiders" to index the content of your webpage, so let's begin with steps to prepare your webpages for optimal indexing. The idea here is not to trick the search engines, but to leave them abundant clues as to what your webpage is about. This approach is called "search engine optimization," abbreviated as SEO.
1. Write a Keyword-Rich Page Title. Write a descriptive title for each page -- rich in keywords Magnet you want people to find you with -- using 5 to 8 words. Remove as many "filler" words from the title (such as "the," "and," etc.) as possible, while still making it readable. This page title will appear hyperlinked on the search engines when your page is found. Entice searchers to click on the title by making it a bit provocative. Place this at the top of the webpage between the <HEAD></HEAD> tags, in this format: <TITLE>Web Some Ways to Promote Your africa Website</TITLE>. (It also shows on the blue bar at the top of your web browser.) 
Plan to use some descriptive keywords along with your business name on your home page. If you specialize in silver bullets and that's what people will be searching for, don't just use your company name "Acme Ammunition, Inc.," use "Silver and Platinum Bullets -- Acme Ammunition, Inc." The words people are most likely to search on should appear first in the title (called "keyword prominence"). Remember, this title is your identity on the search engines. The more people see that interests them in the blue hyperlinked words on the search engine, the more likely they are to click on the link.

Mutharika declares ten districts 'disaster areas' as 23,000 Malawians are displaced by floods

The entire southern Lower Shire Valley bordering Mozambique has also been declared a 'disaster area'. Vice President Saulos Chilima, government officials and journalists Tuesday aborted a planned tour to inspect the effects of the damage in the valley because the military helicopter could not fly due to bad weather. Mutharika appealed to the international community and NGOs to assist the flood victims. He said at least 23, 000 people have been made homeless following the flooding. He said the displaced people immediately need temporary shelter, food, medicine and clothing. "Government alone cannot afford so I appeal to the international community for urgent assistance," he said. Over 20 people across the country have died following the flooding.-maravipost Mutharika declares ten districts 'disaster areas' as 23,000 Malawians are displaced by floods : Mutharika declares ten districts 'disaster areas' as 23,000 Malawians are displaced by floods

Malawi:- Cowardly DPP’s tyranny meets its match

WE find ourselves not having much to say about what happened Saturday within Malawi’s governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) when its vice president was dismissed from the party.  Scratch that.  We do have something to say. This is not about Vice President Joyce Banda, the person, or that of education minister, Peter, Pres Bingu wa Mutharika’s younger brother.  It’s about principle. The Maravi Post‘s position has been about the adulterated process used in giving an unfair advantage to the vice president’s rival; the raping of democracy by those who falsely claim to be fair, open or liberal and progressive—the Democratic Progressive Party. DPP's actions, some of them sexist, attest to the fact that there's nothing democratic and progressive about it. For some time now, it has been established that the party prefers to deal ruthlessly with members it finds disobedient. Apart from Banda, the party also got rid of Khumbo Kachali, the man it sent to suspend three legisla...
