10 Easiest Cars to Get Insured

The first thing an insurance company looks at when offering you a quote is your driving history. Have a spotless one, and you’ll definitely get a better rate than a guy who has a glovebox full of tickets.

The insurance companies also considers the sort of car you drive, including its sticker price, the cost to repair the vehicle, replacement value, safety features, and how well it will withstand an accident. The lower the cost of claims for a vehicle, the lower the rates, and therefore the easier it is to get insured.

Here is a list of the top ten least expensive vehicles to insure, that have a sticker price of less than $50k, according to the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI):
1. Oldsmobile Silhouette
2. Pontiac Montana
3. Saturn L Series Wagon
4. Chrysler PT Cruiser
5. Saturn L Series Sedan
6. Chevrolet Venture
7. Chevrolet Astro
8. Saturn Vue
9. Jeep Wrangler
10. Oldsmobile Bravada

SEO, needed from the start of design

Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short, what does it mean?. Getting a number one ranking in all search engines some people may say.I think SEO means arranging your content in a way that not only humans understand where you website is about, but the search engines also know.

It is important to know how those search engines read and understand your website, so they can index the subject(s) of your website, and deliver relevant search results to their users.SEO is no rocket science, everybody can learn the basic principles pretty soon. There plenty of forums, some with hundreds of visitors a day, discussing search engine rankings, just do a search in google or another search engine for 'SEO forum'. Sometimes it seems to me that the web most popular subject is the web itself...

If you are planning a website it is important that from the start phase you already keep the Search Engines in mind, it saves you a lot of trouble afterwards. If you don't want to bother with rankings yourself, just write your content and have a good SEO consultant review it. If you hire a consultant, please note that the good ones are not cheap. Important is that when you hire someone that you do background research on this company or person. There are plenty of optimizers around that give false promises or use dangerous methods of optimizing.If you want to do SEO yourself, I give you here some basic priciples to work with:

Don't use frames, you don't need them and search engines usually don't 'understand' them very well without additional tricks.

Don't use splash pages, in most cases your main page will be the content focus, make use of it.

Google SEO| Google Search Engine Optimisation

Google is the UK's most important search engine, generating an approximate 75% market share of all search engine traffic. Google search engine optimisation (Google SEO) is focused on improving your website's "organic" ranking for key search terms on Google.

Google.co.uk, is Google's local engine for the UK. It is highly sensitive to filtering out what it considers to be non-UK based websites.

Google's Optimisation Factors

Although following similar principles, the Google search engine algorithm - Googlebot - functions in a different way from the other major search engines. This is mainly because it is more "off page" biased than either MSN or Yahoo, the two other major search engines. By "off page", we mean that when Google produces its results, it relies more heavily on information it collects from sources other than the target website. This information is largely collected by analysing the links that point at a website.

1. Inbound Links - IBLsGoogle, like all other search engines measure the number and nature of inbound links (or IBLs) into a site from other websites. Google places a greater emphasis on these links than the other engines. More than any other factor, the number, quality and origination of these links is what determines the ranking of your site in the search engine results pages (SERPs).

2. Google PageRank™Google operates a patented page ranking system called Google PageRank™. This measures the status of a page in terms of the value or PR of its inbound links. Values are calculated out of 10. A new page with no inbound links will be ranked at 0/10. An established, highly authoritative page will be ranked 10/10. Most established commercial website pages feature in a range from 3/10 to 5/10. For more detailed information and links on PageRank go to Wikipedia, the web's public encyclopedia.
