Things to Avoid on Your Website

Date Posted: July 2025

Fynd looks for websites that are helpful, real, and made for people. We skip pages that try to trick search engines or users. Here are some things to avoid.

Using the same word over and over just to rank is called keyword stuffing. Like saying “best shoes best shoes best shoes.” It does not help anyone.

Pages full of junk links or fake buttons are web spam. We skip those.

If a site shows one thing to people and something else to search engines, that’s dishonest. We skip it.

Copying other websites without adding anything new is called scraping. We want original content.

If a site has malware, scams, or harmful stuff, we stay away.

Even though we do not use backlinks to rank, we still skip link farms that try to cheat the system.

Too many ads, popups, pop-unders, or tricks like resizing your browser are also bad.

Fynd loves sites made for people. Keep it simple, safe, and real.

Does Your Website’s IP Address Matter

Date Posted: July 2025

Some people wonder if the IP address of their website is important. Good news, it is not!

An IP address is just a number that helps computers find your website. Think of it like the street number on a house. It helps you get there, but it does not tell you anything about what is inside.

We don’t use your website’s IP address to rank your site or decide if it should be shown in search results. What really matters is your content. Is it helpful? Is it clear? Is it something people want to read or use?

So, if your IP address changes or is shared with other websites, don’t worry. That won’t hurt your chances in Fynd.

We focus on what you say, not where you live.

Moving to a New Web Host

Date Posted: July 2025

Sometimes websites need to move to a new home on the internet. This is called changing your web host. It might sound like a big deal, but with Fynd, it is nothing to worry about.

Our crawlers are smart and patient. If your site goes offline for a little while during the move, that’s okay. We understand that things happen. As long as your site comes back up within a few days, your pages will stay in the index just fine.

It only becomes a problem if your site is down for weeks or months. In that case, pages might start to fall out of the search results. That’s why having a good web host with strong uptime (meaning your site stays online) is important.

If you are looking for reliable web hosting, we recommend DataPacket. That’s who we use to host the Fynd search engine.

So if you’re switching hosts, don’t stress. Just make sure your new one is solid, and everything will be just fine.

Dashes and Underscores Matter in Search

Date Posted: July 2025

When Fynd looks at a website and tries to understand the words, even small things like dashes and underscores can make a big difference.

Let’s say a page uses the words hello-world. Fynd sees that as two words: hello and world. But if the page uses hello_world with an underscore, Fynd sees that as one big word: hello_world. That means if someone searches for just hello, they might find the page with a dash, but not the one with an underscore.

This happens because Fynd, like many search engines, breaks up words when it sees dashes. But it keeps the whole thing together when it sees underscores.

So, if you’re making a website and want people to find it more easily, it is better to use dashes instead of underscores in your links and file names. It helps both people and the Fynd crawler understand what your content is really about.

We want Fynd to be smart and fair, so we are always looking at ways to improve how we handle stuff like this behind the scenes.

Pages That Use JavaScript

Date Posted: July 2025

Some websites use a lot of JavaScript to show their content. That is okay, but there is one problem, search engines like Fynd cannot always see what is inside the JavaScript.

When our crawler visits a page, it looks at the HTML code to figure out what the page is about. If everything is hidden inside JavaScript, we might not find anything useful.

That is why it is important to always include proper markup like the page title, description, and other meta tags before the JavaScript loads. These tags help explain what the page is about, even if other parts of the content load later.

If those tags are missing or not well written, your page might not get indexed at all.

So if you are building a site with JavaScript, make sure to include basic title and meta information in the HTML. It helps Fynd, and everyone else understand your page.
