Andrew commented on Fighting the 'Omitted Results' Filter

I also find it a lot for 'dynamic' pages where the question mark is used to post back categories etc. I have several product galleries that google ommits the results for initially. Not to worry though, if someone searches for items on the 'ommited

MrCrip commented on Theory: How Does Google Determine Which Sites Sell Links?

I find it funny that some of the supposed most ethical SEO firms in the UK are buying links from this 'on-topic' site. If these businesses were any good at what they do they would not have to buy links period. You're lining your pockets pure and simp

Daniel Smith commented on 75% of Google's Blogspot Blogs are Spam

I just blogged about this very subject and cited this article - I am a new blogger and when I was researching which free platform to use for hosting, the chorus seemed to suggest Wordpress.com. This article was one of the reasons I stayed away from B

Pissed Off commented on Poll: Can A Competitor Hurt Your Google Rankings with Links?

another way you can be hurt is if you don't have a 301 redirect for the non www to the www, (of course you should have this, but not all do). I have someone throwing up hundreds of unrelated member profils at various forums and they are trying hurt m

Will commented on Google's AdWord Quality Score To Add Landing Page Load Time In June

Good to see the info in our account and that it's okay. However, what is the load time requirement? Is there a page weight that we shouldn't exceed? It would be handy to know. I don't suppose they'll let us know though...

Al commented on Ms. Dewey From Microsoft; Ask Jeeves Who?

Microsoft, Aside from Office 2007 emulating a very idiotic Mac-like approach, which many of us truly despise… how do I truly put a wood-stake into this moronic default of 1.15 spacing, and additional spacing in Word.docs? Additional after similar pa

Phalgun commented on Performing Keyword Research Without a Computer

My only concern is, that though we may end up finding a lot of synonyms, how could we be sure that these are the very words people are searching for? Search engines are trained to mostly act as sniffer dogs, they aren't too smart at understanding al

Ben Cook commented on How Important are Header Tags?

Tamar, what makes you say that the tags aren't weighted? I was kind of surprised to see that remark and would love to see any tests or evidence that supports it. Everything I've ever read suggested that H1 tags indicate importance to search engines.

Michael Martinez commented on Are Internal Links Weighted the Same as External Links by Google?

In my opinion internal links should be evaluated differently from external links but that does not mean I feel internal links should be weighted more or less than external links. While it appears that Google handles the links differently, most SEOs

Michael Martinez commented on How Important are Header Tags?

Hx header tags are one of the almost universally acknowledged relevance signals. Search engines HAVE to look at the on-page factors in order to understand what the content is emphasizing. It's just naive for anyone in the search optimization indust

I like Thesaurus too. I usually use Google Trends to see which is the most popular keyword term depending on the subject and my potential visitors.

I know of 1 very large website that has it's UK sub-directory which is hosted in the states. The directory ranks very well on Google UK including UK only pages. They have set this up purely through the webmaster tools. I think large international web

No Name commented on Google Crawl Rate Drops: Google Responds?

I had my crawl rate hit almost bottom at one point between march-april and what webmasters are saying is true. slow crawl rate --> less traffic. I just experienced my traffic dropped almost 50% within last two days.

I had another question about violations. Is it legal for a large corporate entity to place multiple adwords for the same website to displace competition? Look for example at a SF urgent care search. For Urgent care in San Francisco. The same comp

I find books useful on the writing side - not the search side. A thesaurus is useful when you are trying to find that right word.
