Oh, for the simplicity of the good old days of 1995! Where all a web site owner had to do was put important keywords about her web site in the metatags of the HTML code of the front page of her site with a clear description and title to rank well in the search engines and make it easy for web searchers to find her.
Blogs Gone Wild! Microsoft Challenges Google
The blogs and web forums are going crazy over the widely reported story that Microsoft is challenging Google for search supremacy. In an article at Microsoft and NBC owned MSNBC.com, Microsoft said that it is taking aim at privately held Google.
Google Ads Flow To The Amazon
Amazon.com and Google, developer of the largest performance-based search advertising program, today announced a multi-year agreement that will make Google’s search technology and targeted sponsored links available on Amazon.com.
The Google Everflux Phenomena
I tend to spend a lot of time in various search engine forums and newsgroups answering questions. One of the most common questions that seems to come up is along the lines of:
“My site was in Google yesterday and ranking well and today it’s gone! What happened?”
Does Google Index Dynamic Pages?
Is it posible to index in Google a dynamic page like the ones you have in your site? For example: http://www.insideoutmarketing.com/index.php?p=sections&sid=7 I developped a Content Management System that creates dynamic menus and pages and each link of each item of the menu point to a category of articles and each title of each article points to the entire article using its number like this: http://astursistemas.com/demo/index.php?categoria_no=17 (category No.17, sorry it is in spanish) http://astursistemas.com/demo/Articulos.php?articulo_no=16 (article No. 16)
If I submit the above URLs to Google, will they be indexed?
Google Ranking Tips
Google is by far the most popular search engine available today for both ordinary surfers and webmasters.
Surfers like it because of the highly relevant results it gives, and the speed it gives them at. This is due to its complex text matching algorithm and of course the PagerankT system that this engine uses. More on the PagerankT system later.
Google Enters ‘Pay Per Click’ Arena!
Google, which is used more than 150 million times per day to conduct searches has announced its entrance into the pay per click arena with the recent introduction of its new “Ad Words Select” program. The old “Ad Words” Program was based on paying per impressions of your ad, not clicks, thus the addition of the word “select.”
the Google “Snippet” System in Action
Dear Dan,
My name is Brandon Stone. I’m senior tech and webmaster for a company called Martin Yale Industries. We manufacture office and graphics equipment. I took over the company website about a year ago. It had previously been ignored for about five years. So, I went out and bought a copy of FrontPage and taught myself to build webs. I have been building for about 2 years now, and have had a lot of success in the search engines. Thanks to Murdok, that is. Without Murdok, I don’t think that I would be anywhere near as keen as I am. I definitely don’t think my company would be #1 for “desktop graphics equipment” in Google.
Why Google Bought Blogger.com
You may have heard that Google recently purchased Pyra, the company responsible for Blogger.com, and BlogSpot.com, a “push-button publishing tool for the people…”
Google Code Unbans Reader
A Murdok reader shared his recent experiences of getting back in Google after being banned. His experience is quite unique — one I’d never heard before.
