Google typically returns results *about* a given topic first, then sites that sell products or services relating to that topic. There are exceptions of course, but in general this holds true. This approach is in keeping with Google's standard page formatting philosophy. . . content on the left, rela...

I may be missing something here, but you may be making this more complex than it is. In FrontPage, create a table of 3 columns. Once created, check table properties, to be sure it is set to width=100%. That way it always stretches to the screen width. Drag you photo to the center column, set cell pr...

from 101 to 131. Still have a long way to go. Many are forum sigs, but a good mix of others as well.

A veteran poster at webproworld (forum name CBP) defines the sandbox as follows: -------------------------------- The main symptom is that it only applies to sites that are new since March this year. Here is the crieria. IMHO, a sandboxed site is: 1) New domain - probably since March or so of this y...

I think you would have been better off using dashes when you renamed your files, sample-page.html. You would have avoided the Apache problem and maintained ease of reading. Be careful though. One or two dashes are fine, no more. A file name like best-pc-prices-anywhere.com is sure to get nailed by a...

It is very difficult to determine how much any given link, purchased or otherwise, actually helps. I think it has helped me. For the anchor text I used, I moved very quickly from Google page 6 to page 1 (#6 overall). I purchased one PR7 link from TextLinkBrokers, and they have been extremely honest ...

OK…. I tell you…. ‘someone’ did NOT alter Google’s database…. period. Your example is of a well known, widely published Googlebomb. I believe it is about 2 years old. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of anti-bush webmasters created links on their pages linking to Bush’s site and using the term ‘miserable ...

So, one day after swapping links with the number 2 site, they move from #2 to #1 and you go from #1 to #2? I would give it a little time. I think we’ve all seen this behavior many times over. It seems that GG often overreacts to a new link. Something similar has happened to me dozens of times. If I ...

I think the issue is that GG doesn't seem to allow two commands (link and site) in the same search. I suspect that the closest you can get is: @www.yoursite.com -site:www.yoursite.com This of course gives you all references to your url (including text references that are not actually linked) but sin...

Why do you think that was the reason? If they were in second place, it would seem that Google found no issue.
Did they move into the first spot? If not, is it possible that another site secured a number of additional links that propelled them into the #1 spot therefore moving everyone down one?

You can try browsing to it to be sure it exists.
http://www.yoursite.com/robots.txt
If it does, I would check with your hosting service to find out why it might be reporting 404s.

Ideally, you want all of your links to be formatted one or the other, with or without 'www'. The fact that your server will forward a visitor has nothing to do with PageRank. Google sees them as different pages and will split PR based on the link reference. But that is just one of many possible reas...
