As you know, using Alt tag gives you some extra mileage for search engines to find your image. It gives you extra option to put chosen words so that when somebody searches search engines like Google, they can match the keywords with your Alt tag and show him the photo. So most of you will stuff Alt tags with keywords. But be careful, as excessive stuffing can get you caught in spam filters of different search engines. [...]
Well, the title sums up pretty much everything. Some days back I told you about the working version of NoDofollow that was made by a fellow blogger to make the add-on work with Firefox 3.6. But today I checked the official Firefox add-on page for NoDofollow. And after a long delay the original developer has released the updated version that will work with the latest Firefox. So enjoy this nice little plugin.
Today I was going through an interview of Matt Cutts at StoneTemple Consulting that was published about 10 days ago. And here this fact about 301 redirect caught my eyes. When we move to our new domain we usually use 301 redirect to seamlessly redirect our users and search engines to our new urls from the old ones. And most of us, the webmasters know that pagerank juice and link popularity will be added by Google from the old domain after some time. [...]
I have used NoDofollow add-on for Firefox for a long time now. It is actually my favourite Firefox addon, just a little one effective enough to show you dofollow and nofollow links. But as I upgraded Firefox to latest version 3.6 some days ago, I found NoDofollow is not woking with it. So I waited and waited for the original developer to make an update to support it for latest Firefox. But it hasn’t happened yet. But today I found an unofficial version of NoDofollow that supports Firefox 3.6. You can find it in Scott Miller’s blog. I tested it personally in my Firefox 3.6 and it is working perfectly.
About 10 days ago, Google published a post about comment spam on their WebmasterCentral blog. They have warned that they have the means for understanding the link graph & they can determine and tackle comment spam links using algorithmic methods. They can even determine the fine-line spams that some webmasters deploy like instead of blunt spam they will say “great site!” as a comment with a keyword as their name. So in best case, you will receive a little or no SEO value at all for posting meaningless comments in other websites & blogs. [...]
October has just started. Last month Google cleared their point of view on two so-called SEO factors. One is duplicate content problem & another is using keywords and description meta tags. As you might have found, this blog was down most of the time last month, thanks to the previous hosting! So I thought of updating you quickly on these two things if you have missed. [...]
I was going through a post by Matt Cutts on PageRank Sculpting. And it really explains a few basic things on PageRank mechanism from Google’s point of view. It undermines the importance of PageRank Sculpting. If you don’t know what PageRank Sculpting is, then for a primary knowledge I can say that it is a way of controlling link juice flow within your site by making certain link portion nofollow artifially. For example, consider making “Archives” & “Category” part of your WordPress blog nofollow. Here are a few quick things that you should know from that post: [...]
Yeah! I have to say it is unexpected, as it happened within a month of last public PR update. As you know the last update took place on 27/28 May. And now from 23rd June people started reporting changes in PageRank. Usually toolbar PR update is released by Google in two-three moths span. So there is a reason to get a bit astonished. [...]
I have seen quite a few people asking for instant-approval directory list in webmaster forums like Digitalpoint. They look for auto-approval directories so that they can get some quick backlinks. But don’t just concentrate only on it. Not only the number of backlinks but also the quality of backlinks matters, and in a big way too. [...]
Recently I posted on a forum about a site of mine. It’s brand new & pagerank is n/a. But I mentioned it as PR0. A member was quite precise & he corrected that 
Then I thought I should write a post about the difference between PR 0 & n/a. It may look same but there is a subtle difference between them. [...]
