Hmmm... Disallow: /jump.php I have many links to jump.php with query strings at the end. For example: /jump.php?id=224582 /jump.php?id=224616 /jump.php?id=225353 /jump.php?id=225700 /jump.php?id=225710 /jump.php?id=225757 Would blocking /jump.php be enough or is there some variable like * that shou...

I am using a script that uses jump.php to redirect visitors to specific pages rather than linking directly. This shows up as crawl errors for Google (Check out Google sitemaps). How would I exclude every jump.php link using the robots.txt? There are many dynamically generated url's that I want to ex...

Does anyone know about CGI proxies what their effect is on your PR and ranking in the engines. In noticed that one of my sites took a huge hit in PR (down from PR4 to PR0) and when I pull up my page in Google's cache it doesn't show up as : cache:www.mysite.com but something like: cache:http://spond...

How important, if at all, is W3C validation in terms of SEO?

This may be true where it affects on-page optimization factors, which don't seem to carry as much weight as off-page factors like inbound links. Example: A search for "news" in Google returns FoxNews and CNN as the top two rusults. The content of those pages changes every day. Allinanchor ...

I would think dynamic content would be viewed by the SE's as being fresh. I have read on this forum and others that they look favorably on fresh content and it should get your site visited more frequently.

I have a site (vintagehockeyjersey.com) that shows up in at least the first 3 pages for my main keywords (vintage hockey jersey) in all the engines but get a different result from Google when using the McDar tool. Google actually returns a page from Auctionfire that has a link to my site on it. Is t...

Well that brings up a whole other issue. There are malicious webmaster's out there...you need to watch out for redirects, "no follow" tags and more. I suppose. But pagerank/no pagerank, relevance and having the page even navigable all comes to one point.......does that link help you in promoting yo...

I would strictly go by relation. Is this site related to you? I will take any PR link that comes from a related site with a similiar or same category in DMOZ as my site. I agree but beware of those who try and get a link from you while placing your link on a page that's totally isolated from their ...

i_am_dhaval in my experience they mean the same thing to most people. however, if you managed multiple sites you could practice triangular link exchange. in other words: site (a) provides a link to site (b) in return you link to site (a) from site (c). exchanging links in this fashion makes it virtu...

I am planning to buy a PR8 link. Before you do this consider that Google frowns on this practice and may be searching for ways to spot those that utilize it. Just a thought. Personally I would use that money for other things and there's no guarantee that one link will give you the desired results.
