Spamming Search Engines

I've seen lots of comments about spamming search engines and was wondering exactly what the engines deem to be spamming.

I am currently setting up a web development site, which will have separate distinct areas for XML, HTML, JavaScript etc. As well as having a main 'homepage', each area would have its own 'homepage'.

I was planning on submitting the individual areas to the search engines separately, so that for example the HTML page would be listed using terms such as HTML, DHTML, Hypertext etc. and the JavaScript would have terms such as Javascript, scripting etc. And to also list the main home page with all the keywords.

Is this likely to be considered spamming, or am I OK as long as I keep each area's keywords specific to the area?

obvious doorways, hidden text, over-submitting the same page, etc. - it's all classed as spam by the engine.

However, you will have no problem with submitting different pages from the same domain - just ensure the desc. tag (and pref. title) is different for each.

Thanks for that.

I should be OK then, as each index page has its own description and I will make sure that the title reflects the content as well.

B&P? Classy.... Why not just go referrer spamming while you're at it? Or get an Eastern European blog spam outfit to blast 1 million backlinks to your site over the weekend? Those kind of techniques aren't really appropriate to affiliate marketing, they only work for churn'n'burn domain spammers who turn over several thousand domains / month

If you want to get good rankings, build a useful site, let people know its there, and keep adding quality, unique content. The magic of the Interweb will do the rest. If you know how to get yourself in front of a few bloggers, that helps too
