Google’s Warning - Use Cloaking - we Will Find It!

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Cloaking is using a website optimization technique whereby a different web page is shown to the search engine than the actual web surfer. By knowing the search engine’s web bots different IP addresses one can serve up pages specifically for the search engines. Cloaking is a violation of the search engine guidelines. If and when you get caught your site will be removed from the search engines. Some companies that offer cloaking state that their service is undetectable; the search engines state that this is a false claim. If your website is of value to you then DON”T use unethical means to do well in the search engines. White Hat practices will prevail.

How is Your Site Doing in Yahoo?

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Last week Yahoo! announced that they have been making changes on their indexing and ranking algorithms warning everyone to keep a close eye on the effects on their own site’s rankings. It’s been more than a week and I wonder if you have noticed any changes in your site’s ranking in Yahoo. I realised that I haven’t checked with Gary how we’ve been doing.

Note too that if you have a client with paid directories or if you submit to paid directories don’t forget on these directories’ status with Google because there have been reports of manual penalisation of paid directories around September last year. I wonder what this year holds in terms of search engines weeding out sites that they deem are not that desirable.
