  • Google Expands Sitelinks Beyond Top Search Result

    You’ve probably seen it yourself already, and now Google has confirmed some changes to how sitelinks appear in their search results.

That won’t change, but moving forward, it’s […]

  • Yahoo Shutting Down Jumpcut Video Service

  • A Deeper Look At Robots.txt

    The Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP) is not exactly a complicated protocol and its uses are fairly limited, and thus it’s usually given short shrift by SEOs. Yet there’s a lot more to it than you might think. Robots.txt has been with us for over 14 years, but how many of us knew that in addition […]

  • Google’s New Referrer String Includes Ranking Data (At Least For Now)

    Your analytics software can already tell you a lot about the traffic you’re getting from natural search: which search engines are sending traffic, what keywords are sending traffic, which pages are getting the most search engine traffic.
