Search Guild Recent ThreadsThis is very scary (atleast to me)
I was reading my logs tonight nd I noticed two different Googlebots with same IP. Other was the new Mozilla 5.0 bot and the other Mediapartners-Google/2.1. And wht they said: AdSense does not affect the SERP's. I don't know but this scares me little. Just more backlinks?
Hi all,
Obviously this is my first post, so apologies if I have made a newbie mistake or done something else glaringly wrong.
I run www.id-shop.co.uk, in years gone by it was high up in Google, after a period of stagnation and a lack of updating with the changing times by myself it has dropped dramatically in the serps.
I am now trying to get it back on track, aside from obtaining more backlinks with relevant anchor text, is there anything else that I should be doing?
Many Thanks,
Kate links ...
Does anyone know a good source to find high quality links?
I have been working tirelessly trying to build good links with good sites. Man it sucks. Anyway after 3 months of the sites being live I've managed a PR of 3 or 4 on most of my pages at www.rentersinc.com.
I think what I need now is some site wide link exchanges with good quality sites that will be around for a while.
I have 3 web sites with over 47,000 static HTML pages on each site of unique content. I am willing to do some major site wide exchanges on all three of them. That's over 141,000 pages of unique content of STATIC HTML.
The web sites are
www.rentersinc.com
www.fastapartments.com
www.fastapartments.net
I am willing to do about 7 to 10 site wide links with sites who can offer me high PR and/or a large number of unique STATIC HTML pages.
RentersInc.com also has about 10,000 subdomains included in this exchange (emample: http://dallas-apartments-tx.rentersinc.com/apartments-in-dallas.html
I also have a related links section if you just want to exhchange one link.
Thanks all. kicking a dead horse, Page rank thread
So i went to this site from yahoo news. http://www.iom.edu/ . Now they have a PR9 on the homepage. All the pages located in the footer have a PR8, however the main category links on the homepage have PR0.
I know who cares about PageRank right? Well, im just struggling with why this happens... I used to think that PageRank also had to do with coding / optimization of a page. Eventhough Google says its just about link popularity. Google Headache
Hi looking for any help suggestions at all as this is driving me mad and getting tremendous grief from my client as well.
I took over the development of a site in the summer which had previously had been listed in G's index but mysteriously disappeared from it as we took over and I have noot been able to get bak into it since.
The new site went live at the end of september the link is http://www.progresspkg.co.uk.
There is a page online that shows the most active googlebot ip ranges through the site that I have been monitoring (other ip ranges have been but only briefly) http://www.blue-tank.com/progstats_files/dyn(2).htm.
We have a listing in DMOZ and Y!, MSN etc are picking up and indexing well.
I emailed G just before Christmas and got this response which seems a standard thing:

Thank you for your note. We apologize for our delayed response. Please be assured that your site is not currently banned or penalized by Google.
As you may know, our search results change regularly as we update our index. Normal changes you observe may include, but are not limited to, addition of new sites, changes in the ranking of existing sites, sites falling out of the index or getting dropped for particular keywords, and fluctuation between old and new webpage content.
We realize these changes can be confusing. However, these processes are completely automated and not indicative of wrong-doing or penalization of
individual sites. We currently include over eight billion pages in our index, and it is certainly our intent to represent the content of the
internet fairly and accurately.
While we cannot guarantee that any page will consistently appear in our index or appear with a particular rank, we do offer guidelines for
maintaining a 'crawler-friendly' site. You can find these guidelines at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html. Following these recommendations may increase the likelihood that your site will show up consistently in the Google search results.

hello,
i am referring to http://www.acnesupplies.com website. I feel this website is under sandbox.
Can anyone let me know how can I take this website out of sandbox.
The reason i feel it is in sandbox is that, i cannot find my website ranking into Google in top 1000 websites.
Any Paid/Free suggestions are most welcome, please ensure that you are experienced to deal with this kind of problem earlier.
Quick response would be appreciated.

Dear professionals, I have one affiliate site . As far as I learned, one should have more than one cite to have a some income from web. I am planning to create several sites devoted to different affiliate programs. The question is: what is the best way to work with affiliate programs? Is this a good idea to create a site for each affiliate program? Need your advise. More info: My main purpose is to start having income from web, I am a beginner, so it is difficult for me to create a good site with unique content, so I concentrated on affiliate programs. Does Anyone use Google Anymore?
I am asking this because something weird is going on... my traffic in the past 2 weeks has shot up... all with the word MSN and Yahoo as where it came from..
The Search Engine Traffic... It was so lopsided that I thought something was wrong... Normally my traffic is 50% Google and 30% Yahoo and 15% MSN and the rest was various Search Engines like Dogpile or whatever.
Now this is the problem... out of the past 1000 people or so that came from Search Engines..
400 Yahoo .. 400 MSN ... 100 Google.. 100 Dogpile, Hotbot, Altavista....
uhh... Google is now in the same class as Dogpile ??
The reason I am posting this is because I checked all my rankings... everything is near or actually improved on Google.. and on multiple datacenters...
It's not that "oh maybe the terms of searches favor "yahoo" The reason it can't be is because this is a brand new issue that is showing up in the past week.... it was never like this... and the search term rankings are the same as before..

~Soupnazi Soupnazis: Different Browser (The Pub)
I never really had any dislikes with IE, but on day flash decided not to work (no matter what I did) and I just couldn't go in an remove IE and reinstall it. This really irritated me, so I switched to Firefox. Well all I can say is I'm not going back and probably never will. IE will always be on my computer if I never need it so I'm not to worried. Firefox all the way. Plus its nice to MOD out my browser with all of the extensions that are available.

mcanerin: Delete Links? (Link Building)
If you agree to a triangle trade, fine, but when you agree to do something, you should do it, and not "bait and switch".
The fact that some may have no problem with it is not the point. It's not a good business practice to promise to do something and then not follow through, or to unilaterally change your side to benifit yourself without their knowledge or approval.
The key to this strategy is that you make the change, but the other guy doesn't. He agreed to trade links. The webmaster is not trading links with YOU, they are trading links with a SITE. If you move your links to a different site, then he should move his reciprocal links to that site, too, in order to preserve the agreement.
Since that would work against your plan, you have violated the agreement, pure and simple. Violating agreements is not white or black hat. It's wrong, and both sides agree on that, as was made very clear in a recent thread at SEW - both sides pounced on the idea and tore it apart. Bad Karma.
I guess that's as clear as I can make it. I'm not coming down on you, but I think this is a case where you are looking at a website as a formula rather than a business. The fact that not one other person in the thread is supporting this should be noted.

Hey All, :D
FYI, they do track, and have been for some time. There is a HUGE debate going on right now about exactly that topic. That Google actually tracks and saves that data.
To the point where some big .org's are getting involved, especially since Google has agreements to do big Libraries like Stanford and many others.
The crux of the debate is in "If you have that information (Google), and the Feds want it (patriot act) then they can request by law to have the record of anyone who has 'checked out' say Marx in the past 12 months" Etc., Etc., Etc., bomb making, terrorism, and more.
The issue, like the U.S. Libraries see it, is that this is personal information and they do not agree with the Act. Therefore, if the Library does not store this data per individual, then the Feds can ask all they want, but there is no data to give.
Maybe I should have begun another thread with this... So far, Google has not budged on their stance, they want this information, and currently - they are storing it.

the usage? Meaning: this posting gets a, that other site is b, then c on another one?

Exposure's business model (if that's what you want to call it) really doesn't have to do with the general advice we give here about making a great site that will do well in the engines, and make you money and all that.
But it's the exception to the rule.
