Notes

Number of characters

Whitespace included. To count the characters (letters) quickly, use my simple Character Counter (see also the menu on the right).

You can also use the counter in Word:

URL address

Its length should be as small as possible. If it increases, the importance of distant words decreases. Too many variables in the URl address is a disaster. In order of importance:

• Name of domain
• Name of subdomain (third-level domain) or first directory
• Everything else up to 75 characters
• Everything else beyond 75 characters

Title (page name)

The shorter, the better. No page can be among the first results with more than two keywords or key phrases in the title. Ideally, the Title should consist of a single word (or keyphrase).

Meta Description

It is necessary that it include keywords that the page is optimalized for. The length of the whole Meta Description is ideally displayed by the search engine in the results. Both Google and Seznam display two lines of description for most links. That’s why it should be long enough and interesting enough to catch the visitor’s eye while browsing through search results.

Meta Keywords

Its  influence is negliglible, nevertheless it is desirable that it be filled out with keywords. Both Google and Seznam now ignore it.

Number of characters on page

Contiguous text is assumed, not a keyword listing or link group (farm).

Open the registry using the REGEDIT command (Regedt32.exe) and fill out the necessary information in the registry

Find the key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon

Fill out these values:

DefaultDomainName – domain name
DefaultUsername – username
DefaultPassword – password
AutoAdminLogon – set to 1

The DefaultPassword and AutoAdminLogon entries probably don’t exist. Create them as REG_SZ values.

Automatic logon will be active after restarting Windows.

Should you want to logon in another way, just set AutoAdminLogon in the registry back to 0.
