Has anyone had problems with their Google API, and if you do, is there any way of knowing whether there is one? I'm getting obviously incorrect data from my...
hi nina, i have a page set up that i use for testing my google ajax api. that seems to be working fine. also don't see anything posted on wmw or cre8. you...
does anybody ever use the rich-text editor here in the yahoo group? lately it has produced empty or garbled posts/replies more often than not for me. don't...
Nina - I had a very similar sounding problem with WPG a few weeks back--I got all the data I expected for Yahoo and MSN, but nothing for Google, but WPG also ...
Seemed to work. What a mystery. Maybe something goofy is going on with the site. Nina Hale Consulting for Direct Marketing Online <http://www.ninahale.com>...

hi julie, i sent you an email of a local company. you could also check out the mima business directory. if others want to offer their services to julie the...
Oh the joys of teaching SEO to upper management. Does having PPC campaigns help you rank better organically? I say NO! I do know that if a potential client...
Hi Nicole, I agree that participating in Adwords will not give you a direct affect and help your organic rankings. Explaining that to upper management would be...
I'd tell them they don't know what they're talking about, but that might not go over well. People usually believe everything I say. Are they sexist or...
Way back (2002?), I was told: For brand new sites time for organic listings/rankings seem to sometimes take up to 6 months (in some search engines). AND if you...
no, you don't need ppc to be found sooner. you can get found within a day if you get a link from site that crawled daily. recently the adsense crawler is being...
Al, crazy as it may seem, I have a brand new site that was launched in late Nov. My home page was indexed by Google within one week, but so far that's it....
Nope not sexist, at least I don't think, their usually pretty good about letting me make the calls. Some members of upper management know a little about search...
My boss keeps asking me if I'm submitting to the search engines. He does this every month and every month I tell him it doesn't matter. Lame. "Nicole...
interesting guys....thanks. another thing you can do is submit a sitemap which will help you get crawled. i don't think live is accepting them yet though. or...
just to clarify, the submit url won't help the deep crawling of additional pages, just the initial discovery of your site if you don't have any links to your...
one additional note, be careful about the forum threads you send them to. read through them well and if it's full of questionable comments i would stay away...
Chris, In my case the sitemap was completed and submitted to Google right off the bat. But again, I just find it highly ironic that out of the 25-30 product ...
chip, yeah, that sounds like more than a coincidence to me. ;-) Chip Jones wrote: Chris, In my case the sitemap was completed and submitted to Google right off...
Just in case, please check your HTML/XML (use www.htmlvalidator.com), I had customers with indexing problems due to buggy markup, after that, If still strange,...
AL, That's a great reminder and actually one that should be on anyone's "To Do" list when launching a new site. I actually discovered that I had a couple of...
The validation tool at www.htmlvalidator.com generates errors for any URL containing querystrings with ampersands. It states that ampersands in querystrings...
Hey Chip, I'm not sure how you could accidentally use both forms on the same site. That would mean you're pointing to or can get to the same content with two...
hi chip, 1. i don't think your se quality score will drop,i think the se's see it as the same thing 2. thus, i don't think the dup content will come into play ...
Thanks Chris and Lee! I appreciate the feedback. I'm not sure which way to proceed, but it's certainly something I need to be a little more mindful about. Lee,...
Actually, I have not seen much of an issue with indexing. It's just when both the & and the ascii version are used at the same time for the same urls that can...
