No Fear of Remapping URLs of your Site

Search Engine Watch published an interesting case study today about a site that remapped all dynamic URLs via a tools such as mod-rewrite/.htaccess file (Apache Webserver) or Helicon ISAPI Rewrite (Windows IIS Webserver) to static URLs and 301 redirected (Not 302!) all dynamic URLs to the new static looking ones. For example  "site.com/category.aspx?Cat=991" , which is a .NET script that dynamically renders different product category pages depending on the value of the "Cat" parameter value, probably...

Google & Kinderstart : As You Shout Into the Woods…

Matt Cutts noted briefly at his blog that Google's motions to dismiss the 2nd amended complaint case without leave to amend and for sanctions against the plaintiff Kinderstart.com LLC and it's attorney were granted by the court. Rewind Kinderstart.com is a content site that started monetizing the site with Google Adsense in 2003 and fell out of favor with Google in March 2005, which cased traffic to the site to plummet and AdSense revenue to drop...

Welcome to the Social Community for Search Marketers

and who is MBL, DIGG and what-not anyway?  The MyBlogLog hype is pretty much over by now it is also not everything as peachy with them as it used to be. The issues with the security holes that were uncovered and the banning of the user from the Network that uncovered them, privacy issues about data collected without the users knowledge etc. etc.

I found out during the work on an article that made a case against the Digg bans. I used some content of my original article and used it for the now different story that talks about the un-banning. Part of the original...

Did Digg Lift Some Site Bans?

Do you believe that? I was working on a longer article about the Digg.com bans, because ReveNews.com, a blogger News site with over 20 Bloggers was banned from digg.com because of one authors action. Multiple attempts were made to get the site unbanned without success. I needed a screen shot that shows the message that the URL is not allowed for the story and attempted to submit my latest story at ReveNews.com. To my surprise did...

Putting An End To Supplemental Hell Because Of Site Moves, Site Restructure Or Big Site Launch

Loren's post and Matt Cutts comment about sites being de-listed from Google because of down-time and also some discussions about problems with site moves from one domain to another and launches of big sites with a lot of pages plus the comments and recommendations from Search Engine representatives like Vanessa Fox from the Google Webmaster Central Team did not make me very happy. So I was thinking and then thinking a bit more and...
