Building a bot? Want to see if someone is cloaking a page and serving different versions based on different http user agents? Maybe you are trying to serve different versions of your web pages based on a user agent…here is a list of many of the most recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome ...…
Will Google Crawl This Link Google runs around and indexes (or catalogs) things it finds on the web. It stands to reason that at this point that they are smart enough to know when a URL is mentioned on a page, but not made into a hyperlink. One would think that they might actually go ...…
Well, people are freaking out. People are bitching and moaning. People are talking about suing Google. Nothing has changed. I hope that the peeps down at the G-plex get together with some cold beers and laugh at everyone freaking out and talking out of their asses whenever they do something “dramatic.” From what it sounds ...…
One of the easiest ways to get your top SERP positions is to have a domain name that helps you out. Typically this means having some or at least part of your main keyword(s) included in the domain name itself. A year or two ago, it became a no-no to use mega hyphenated domain names ...…

For instance, Google shows 1,440 links if I do ...…
I think I am late in the game on this one, but why have we (read: I) been linking to Technorati for so long? Back in the day, I believe they at least started linking out to other sites. I am sure they got gamed, well, I know they got gamed but, what is the ...…
As always, when Google performs one of their periodic updates, people (aka webmasters) see some pretty scary things happen. A couple of sites that I actively monitor and tweak ever so slightly, fell off the map. These are not sites that receive thousands of visitors a day, well actually that is not true…one was this ...…
Now that the dust has settled from the Google infrastructure update of last year (I don’t like to use the stupid names people give these things), it certainly appears that the TLD (Top Level Domain) name that you are using may play more of an important role than ever. I have seen a lot of ...…
In case you live in a cave, Google updated the Page Rank they show in the toolbar last week. More green for me. If you are looking for domains that have page rank and are “seasoned” you should drop me a line. I have a few that I am looking to get rid of. They ...…
