I totally agree with your statement in context.QUOTEA lot of my friends who are SEOs would shoot me for this.... but... compared to content creation, SEO is a five minute job. Kickass SEO on halfass content is the recipe for failure.Viral Content and Linkbait, is the difficult part of SEO; unless your some sly genius who can create this stuff without any research.

JohnMu: Google Crawling Absolute Paths (Google)- June 25, 2008 OT :-)Sure we like custom 404 pages, but it&39;s best if the URL returns 404 directly instead of being (301302) redirected there. In Apache it&39;s easy to get this wrong: if you specify the full URL for the 404 handler in your .htaccess file, it will actually redirect to that page. If that page is a static HTML page, it will likely return a code 200. On the other hand, if you specify a relative page, Apache will generally serve the 404 page instead of the missing URL, automatically setting the.http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63561&view=findpost&p=27...

I did some calculations and came up with 300 GB of transferbandwidth for just one keyword. Their are many other niche keywords but my current hosting is providing only 3 TB&39;s of Bandwidth transfer.

When my site went live it was ranking no 1 for its own name, and there were and still are about 30k results about that name. my site is seasonal, so loads of people where coming then. What I did was add a site map, it indexed a page I thought useless, hence took the site map off since Google seemed to be doing fine without it.

JohnMu: Google Crawling Absolute Paths (Google)- June 25, 2008 In general it&39;s like Ammon mentioned - a link somewhere on your site. What I&39;ve also seen is that a site has it&39;s statistics publicly visible (some hosters do that to make it easy for you to find :-)) -- if that&39;s the case, it&39;s possible that those statistics have a link to a URL like that somewhere in them as well. At any rate, we can&39;t view your servers file-system (at least not if it&39;s configured correctly), so even if we happen to stumble upon a URL like that, your...http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63561&view=findpost&p=27... Black_Knight: Google Crawling Absolute Paths (Google)- June 25, 2008 Download yourself the Xenu Link Sleuth and use it to crawl your site. There&39;s a strong probability that you have those links erroneously on your live site somewhere. You see, Google crawls links mostly. If it finds any URL, its almost certain that it found it by finding a link to it.There are other ways that Google can possibly get a URL, and one such is if you have the Google toolbar, or any third-party equivalent tool to submit the URL of any page you view in order to view its PageRank..http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63561&view=findpost&p=27... |
