We all use the internet everyday and it is now a major part of most of our lives. But how many blogs are there out there? Who invented the internet? Who invented the worldwide web? How many registered website are there? How many images are uploaded to FlickR everyday? …And more.

Last month Google announced they would be supporting the canonical tag across cross domain platforms. The canonical tag has been supported since February for both internal URLs and subdomains. However, today I noticed that Google was returning a subdomain and a root domain with the same content, even though the subdomain has a canonical tag pointing to the content on the main domain.
The new way in which the customer interacts with media.
Today we are at the beginning of a new renaissance, exploring the ways in which customers are behaving in the new world of Web2.0. In the context of this media revolution, life will not be the same for you, or your customers again. Read the rest of this entry »
Back in February 2009 – Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft all announced that their search engine platforms would support a new type of tag that would inform search engine spiders of the ‘canonical’ page when there are several available. This tag could be used only internally or on a subdomain of that URL. Last week Google announced on their blog that the tag is supported across multiple domains. This will help webmasters who (for whatever reason) do not have server side control over their websites, whilst allowing the source domain to take precedent over any duplicate URLs.

Last 26th of October I started a test to monitor how PDF documents are crawled and indexed by search engines.
The aim of the test was to try and find out the following things about PDF documents like:
Recently, I’ve been noticing breadcrumb-style link trails appearing within the SERPs for many queries on Google. Apparently these are called “site hierarchies” and Google think they’ll help people more easily find what they’re looking for in situations where the destination page is too specific.
So Bing thought they’d jump on the ‘our results don’t contain non UK specific websites’, which is in relation to Google’s decision to weaken the Geo-filter in mid June. This decision resulted in the SERPs being flooded by non-UK specific websites – and had Matt Cutts running to the hills after being chased by angry webmasters. But we can always rely on Bing to produce relevant results to a UK audience for universal search terms right?…..Right?!!!

I use my Google search bar to find even the most obvious URLs, it’s a lazy practice i know. So instead of typing in the full URL into the browser bar, i search one inch below for it then click. It actually probably takes longer. Read the rest of this entry »
There is one common thing that link web 2.0 users: the necessity to take part of this new fantastic world contributing to it, inserting web pages, picture, documents, comments and so on. So it’s not rare to see emerging web sites containing tons of new material rather than a forum at the top of the SERPs. And it’s not rare to see different type of documents rather than a standard web page. Documents like a Word file, Power point presentation, PDF etc. Read the rest of this entry »
The biggest Social Bookmarking site is still Digg, by all accounts. As you will see from the Graph below, it is conquering all and leaving them in its wake with an impressive 17.4 million monthly users. Read the rest of this entry »
The phenomenon of Twitter in 2009 has really opened the debate on whether real time search should, or could, be introduced within Google – or any other search engine for that matter. By modifying the query – the user is allowed to specify a set of parameters – which produces more specific results. Looking for a specific time frame result set has probably been one of the most ambitious tasks that Google user ever attempted. This blog post looks at comparing Google’s real time search results against Twitter.

As anyone in SEO knows, there has been a lot of debate and confusion about Google’s latest algortihm change (mostly confusion from Google that we have already posted about). Read the rest of this entry »
We’ve all got used to being able to control how the major search engines index our sites using a combination of robots.txt and the robots meta tag to add attributes like ‘noindex’ to individual pages. While this works great for the pages themselves, it’s not so good for non-HTML, indexable content such as PDFs or embedded media, as we have no HTML <meta> tag in which to insert the meta-information. In this article we take a look at a potential solution to this problem: the X-Robots-Tag HTTP Header.

I awoke this morning to a beautiful sunny day over here in the UK, picked up my iphone to check my tweets and found that Matt Cutts had completed a YouTube video regarding the changes made within Google UK since the start of June. I was indeed shocked and amazed that he even considered answering a question that had a number of SEO professionals suggesting that the SERPs were broken. The general conclusion to Matt’s video was that ‘yes there are more .com websites ranking within Google UK’ and ‘its all about relevancy of the search query’. I think Matt has chosen to side step the real issue at hand and question that was being asked by Guavarian – the inclusion of relevant .com websites isn’t a problem – the problem is that the searcher’s experience is being diminished due to the inclusion of non-UK focused websites.
