Forum Moderators: open
Pretty much everyone here is working at optimizing their site or their clients sites. That's what this forum is all about.
There are various ways and means to optimize your site and folks here have several interpretations of what an optimized site is.
There is no *one way* to demonstrate an optimized site because some people optimize for a specific search engine while others optimize for another.
There is no quick route to finding the ideal optimized site. Hang around WmW for 6 months to a year and read the *recent posts* forum on a daily basis to pick up a lot of good pointers on a lot of aspects of SEO ... you'll eventually get the hang of it!
A warm welcome to WebmasterWorld! Make yourself at home.
Like Liane sayd, if you stick around for a while, you can learn a lot of things here. If you look for anything specific and are in a little hurry, I suggest that you use the "site search" feature on top menu. Some queries about frames will give you good results.
One good place to start is this thread [webmasterworld.com]. For general "one size fits all" pages.
You can also look at users profiles to find examples of well optimised sites.
Good luck!
The tricky part is to pick out cloaked from non-cloaked sites (the Google cache can be helpful), and also to understand why some sites rank well (in some areas, particularly on Google, ranking can be link driven).
It's also often surprising how many top ranking sites aren't really good examples of "well optimized sites," but for a specific set of terms they did enough right to get there.
1) Thousands of pages
and
2) have tons of informational content so they were able to blanket the directories particularly ODP and probably ZEAL with tons of listings.
It also doesn't use frames and has manage to get rid of query strings.
