Do Search Engines Get Bored ?
If a site seems to 'work' - the visitors (mostly new) appear happy with the content/structure etc, and the search engines are happy to rank it - is there any value in making small, regular changes to the content to make it appear 'fresher' to the engines, even if this does nothing for the visitor?

Microsoft New Webspider
Microsoft have just dropped the latest bombshell and that is the new "All singing and dancing!" webspider that will now be rooting around your websites and hosts. My search engines spider has built in the ability to find and measure a little over seven hundred different faults...

Duplicate Content NOT To Be Indexed
I own a large network of review sites and for the past 3 years we have done a dance with Google where all of a sudden they bump everything up to a $10 Min Bid and we are done. Over three years it has happened 3 times and every time we slightly change the URL (s, -, ...) and go back to work.

Display on Internet Explorer vs. Firefox
I have just got my new (and first!!) website pretty much finished, and now I discovered that when searched for with Internet Explorer the first page displays differently than on Mozilla Firefox. I created the site in a sitebuilder and always worked in Mozilla Firefox. In Firefox it looks perfect.

Links Harmed Our Ranking. Is It Short Term?
We recently made a foolish mistake on our web site regarding links. We innocently put a bunch of links on our site from various forums from accross the web. These links link back to our web site. These links we place on our web site were from forums where members who posted messages about our site and their positive experience with our web site and our service to them.

Email Deliverability
We are a small legitimate ecard site. We have implemented SPF, DomainKey, valid reverse DNS, fixed IP, and we are not on any public black lists. However, frequently, our emails to the recipients with Yahoo email addresses arrive in the spam/bulk folder.

Google picked wrong URL
Recently, I have changed a page title and moved that page permanently (using 301 redirect) to another location. When I search in Google, It shows me updated page title but the URL is still old. However, when I click this URL it redirects me to the new URL where I wanted.

Google Analytics - Search Traffic Accuracy?
Does Google Analytics accurately report traffic coming from the various search engines? I have been writing a report on a client over a one month time frame using data gathered from our log files. I was curious to see how that data stacked up against Google Analytics, and here's what I found: - Google over-reported its own referrals, though just slightly.

Load Time And SEO
A quick question on psuedo SEO procedures. Load time...is it, or is it not an issue? Looking at what is topping the major search engines it is clear that load time differences does not have a major effect on placement, but does it have SOME effect.

Will These Pages Be Penalized?
I've just finished setting up my second website and one of the categories from the first site is also relevant to the second. Thing is, they've both got the same copy in the writing.

Domain Registration Seperate From Hosting
After a consistently poor service from our web host we are in the process of changing providers. This process is a bit of a headache and not one that I'd like to do again in a hurry. My question is, would anyone recommend having a third party to control the registrations of domains and host their DNS (not the hosting provider).

Hosted Blog- PR Builder?
I'm about to showcase my ignorance in a spectacular way. But I'd really like some clarification on this, so here's my question: Does hosting your blog on your web site increase the site's page rank? I've been told that hosting a blog on your site (as in: www.mysite.com/blog) will raise the site's PR, and boost all the site's other pages in SERPs.

Excluding the "good" BOTS from /images folder
I had an issue way back with MSN trying to index my site from my /images/ folder due to the presence of an index.htm file. Since then I have excluded the MSN bot from the /images/ and VIOLA! My site is now being indexed properly!

Links And The Law
I switched from being an SEO to an SEO for lawyers. I have since run into an issue that I cannot find a way around, and really hope someone here can help me see the light. The ongoing link building that is required for search engine success is quite challenging as there are strict lawyer advertising laws in California.
