PageRank Matters – But Not For Ranking Pages It’s hardly surprising that a metric like Google’s infamous PageRank is so widely mistaken for a key determinant of how well a website page ranks (how high up it appears) in the search engine results pages (“SERPs”). But it is a naive mistake to assume that a [...]
Earlier this week, Google starting showing much expanded site links in its search results for brand type searches.

Can bad links hurt your rankings? It has long been debated whether poor quality or spammy links could actually damage a website’s rankings in Google. I read yesterday that over the last few months, Google has been sending out emails to website owners warning them about artificial or unnatural looking links. I’ve seen examples online [...]
Smart-Traffic.co.uk Play Hide and Seek [Since I first published this post, I received a reply from Stuart Pollington at Smart-Traffic.co.uk explaining how he believes this anomaly arose. Since my post allowed for the possibility of inferring that a penalty may have been applied by Google, I feel it would be unfair to do anything other [...]

13 Lucky Steps to Search Engine Oblivion. I first wrote this a couple of years back (so please note that some details may be out of date) for fun and published it on eHow.com, EzineArticles.com and also AssociatedContent.com (now owned by Yahoo) but since I have now incorporated a blog into this site, I have [...]
It is always good to read about progress that Google makes in the fight against spam so I was pleased to read a recent post from Matt Cutts announcing that Google is evaluating multiple changes to its search ranking algorithm to combat spam and, specifically one particular change, to combat the problem of publishers having [...]
