Geotargeting Google 2008-11-15 03:36:01 From the October Google
Webmaster Chat Q &A:Jane, Ireland: Does the geotargeting feature in Webmaster tools hold as much weight as having a country-specific TLD?Kaspar aka Guglarz: Hi Jane!Google uses a bunch of signals like location of the server or the TLD in order to determine which users might be interested in the sites content. Geotargeting is a way for webmasters who use non country spec
Pages in Sitemap not being indexed 2008-11-14 08:13:01 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:Anonymous: Sitemap
s question - How do we know what pages in the sitemap are NOT indexed? The report shows us how many are in the submitted sitemap and how many are indexed, but not which ones are or are not indexed...JohnMu: One way you can do that is to set up separate Sitemap files for the different parts of your website. Doing that you can find wh Read more:Pages

Article Directory 2008-11-13 03:54:01 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:tewmonkey, cardiff,wales: Until recentley (the last six months or so) a high ranking was achievable by submitting articles to article directories (providing they were 40%-60% unique), it no longer seems to be the case.

301 Redirects 2008-11-13 01:08:00 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:Cynthia, San Francisco: Recently went through a rebranding of our company name.

HTML Sitemap 2008-11-12 05:03:00 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:Anonymous: In addition to a XML sitemap, does it make any sense to have also an HTML sitemap on the same website? Does HTML sitemap helps improve the rating?JohnMu: A HTML sitemap file can help search engines, especially those that don't use XML Sitemap
files. Also, the 404 widget in Webmaster Tools (which you can place on your 404 pages) will use "/
Large XML Sitemap 2008-11-12 04:52:01 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:Anonymous: Sitemap
s question: If my website has an extremely large number of pages, like Amazon.com, should I include every single URL that I want indexed in my XML
sitemap? If not, how should I go about populating my XML sitemap?Wysz: Feel free to use your Sitemap to list all of your pages... that's what it's for! :) However, if you have many dupl
Link juice 2008-11-11 11:00:00 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:TylerDee, TX: Are .gov and .edu back links still considered more "link juice" than the common back link?Matt Cutts: This is a common misconception--you don't get any PageRank boost from having an .edu link or .gov link automatically. Hah John, I beat you to it! If you get an .edu link and no one is linking to that .edu page, you're not going to get a
Do some inbound links hurt? 2008-11-11 08:50:01 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:Scott, Minnetonka: Do inbound links
from other sites owned by the same company help or hurt rank?Matt Cutts: I find that inbound links from the same company tend to break down into two camps. You'll find mom/pops that have a very few sites in one camp, and that can make sense if those sites are linked; in the other camp, I've see SEOs have 1000 or 20
Multilingual site? 2008-11-11 08:07:34 From the October Google Webmaster Chat Q &A:Anonymous: Suppose my website supports English and French.

Create great, unique content 2008-11-11 00:53:01 This is important for everyone, but it’s a particular challenge for online retailers. If you’re selling the same widget that 50 other retailers are selling, and everyone is using the boilerplate descriptions from the manufacturer, this is a great opportunity. Write your own product descriptions, using the keyword research you did earlier to target actual words searchers use, and make product p Read more:unique
Use a unique and relevant title and meta description on every page 2008-11-10 15:00:01 The page title is the single most important on-page SEO factor. It’s rare to rank highly for a primary term (2-3 words) without that term being part of the page title. The meta description
tag won’t help you rank, but it will often appear as the text snippet below your listing, so it should include the relevant keyword(s) and be written so as to encourage searchers to click on your listing.

Submit to Major Search Engines 2008-10-29 09:04:43 Before you go ahead and submit your website to the major search search engines make sure you have all (or most) of your SEO tactics in place.

Something to think about..... 2008-11-24 12:39:01 From Google AdWords Blog:"Did you know that 20% of the queries Google receives each day are ones we haven’t seen in at least 90 days, if at all? With that kind of unpredictable search behavior, it's extremely difficult to create a keyword list that covers all relevant queries using only exact match."
