Google Come Between Me & My Loved Ones

By Andy Beard | Published: September 5, 2009

Have Google changed the way they handle Double or Indented Listings, removing them from some SERPs from some datacenters? I love my double or indented listings, but it was not to be. We have been together for a long time, but fate has determined that at least for the present, we must separate. The Google giveth, and The Google taketh away

Paid Links & Reviews Are Necessary For Relevant Results

By Andy Beard | Published: August 17, 2007

I have written about this a few times in the past, first of all questioning Google's definition of paid links and more recently with my post on linking payola. OK I have probably mentioned this a few more times than that, but those articles cover the core points quite nicely.

There Needs To Be A Level Playing Field

When Ebay purchase a site like StumbleUpon and eventually includes a footer link, and possibly some contextual links to product pages that are search engine followable, are they paid links also?

They only paid… what… $75M for 1.5M blogs (and growing) located on subdomains

Google LSI Related Search Results

By Andy Beard | Published: January 26, 2007

I use Google for a lot of searching every day, I am sure more than 95% of casual users. I am not talking about checking ranking, as things like that can be automated with Google’s APis and various tools. When I need to find information, I use Google Search.
I have seen Google suggest other related terms to try such as this, which appears at the bottom of a page when I search for “insurance”.
The Google Related terms normally look something like this:-

Darren Rouse gets talked about a lot in the blogosphere, and for good reason. He writes quality articles and is a nice helpful guy.

Someone was checking results for Darren on Yahoo. How do I know? I spotted it in my MyBlogLog stats that they had clicked through.

Google Pagerank updates are weird

By Andy Beard | Published: January 14, 2007

I am sure lots of webmasters are monitoring their pagerank updates currently, and sometimes how they happen can be quite weird. The toolbar representation doesn’t mean much for search traffic, as the pagerank stored on the datacenters is always up to 3 months ahead of that dispalyed in the toolbar. It is however useful for monetization in various ways, and an ego thing, as I pointed out in my first article on the recent Pagerank updates.

Google Hiccup

By Andy Beard | Published: January 10, 2007

For a few days I have noticed a small hiccup in my SERPs on Google, especially relating to my theories on how Google treat tags.

It seems it was Google just juggling numbers, because not only were terms such as “Wordpress Training” not showing my tag page near the top, but also terms such as “Wordpress Trademark” had disappeared completely.
