The Fetch as Google feature in Webmaster Tools provides webmasters with the results of Googlebot attempting to fetch their pages. The server headers and HTML shown are useful to diagnose technical problems and hacking side-effects, but sometimes make double-checking the response hard: Help! What do all of these codes mean? Is this really the same page as I see it in my browser? Where shall we have lunch? We can't help with that last one, but for the rest, we've recently expanded this tool to also show how Googlebot would be...

They simply ignore the fact that search engines are looking for natural links and it doesn’t look natural if all the links have the same anchor text. Always try to mix up the anchor texts in your links. You certainly can’t control the anchor text for all of your incoming links. But the ones you do, make sure to utilize...

Posted by myseoin Wednesday, January 2, 2013 0 comments
In my code journeys and programming adventures I’ve encountered many strange foes, and even stranger allies.
