Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yep, only first link counts. So it is important that it's a text link!  A common problem is that people have a product image that links as the first link on the page to that URL.. with a text link below.. not good...

If only I could! That is a lot of stress - it's pretty much how many points the President gets when he helps avert national disasters. Let me know if it's still not working for you in Chrome or if I can help any further!

I would look for another .com.br domain, since that will give search engines a natural propensity to rank your site better in your country.  You can target this in Webmaster Tools, but with Bing they don't offer that, you have to rely on them properly Geolocating your IP. I would hypothesize that .info domains are clicked through less due to spam issues, and as a side effect have lower positioning in the grand scheme of things.  I say this because of the revelation that Google and Bing both utilize clickstream data to some degree. Also, .info or .biz just doesn't look good for a brand.  Unless it's built around that TLD like bit.ly or delicio.us

There are numerous ways for google to find your URL even if it doesnt have a regular link to it - security by obscurity isnt very effective, if you truly dont want anything to be crawled hide it behind a login. I'm not sure how these pages are being created obviously but I wouldnt redirect - instead remove them from index using meta tag or robots.txt. Or just delete them

Hi Keri, thanks for your specifc answer, this really helps!

Hi, Working in SEO I always cringe when a designer mentions Flash. However my phobia of Flash is old school and maybe I need to get with the times. Google will crawl textual content in Flash, including anchor texts. It will also follow links in Flash and presumably applies the same 'link juice' factors that it would normally apply to links. Heres an article on Flash and crawling textual content http://bit.ly/dDXYoc Hope this helps. Aran

Dear Dan. THANK YOU for this excellent information. We are still pretty new to this so this helps a lot! We did some work already and now are noticing also strange behaviour around capitalization, which makes no sense to us at all; any thoughts on that? Here some more details: I am finding out some interesting things about G search results as I further explore what has happened to my site. The results are different if you use small case or capital letters such as RC A-10 Warthog or rc a-10 warthog. The results are different at different times of the day, sometimes within minutes.  Before 7 am today most of the pages which I modified were in the top 10 results, now about 1/2 of them have slipped to page two. There is absolutely no logic to all the variables.  For example, my site returned to its normal traffic (the same way it was before the algorithm change) of over 5,000 views per day on Saturday and Sunday.  Just last weekend it barely got to 3,000 views.  And, I haven't changed enough pages to the new format to directly affect those results.  I wonder if Google has made an adjustment and that is why many of my pages are getting back to near where they were before?  I look forward to tonight's final numbers for the day to see if it was solely for the weekend or if it continues. However, using rc a-10 warthog in small letters, the air hogs page is no where to be found, yet my page is no. 4 as of right now. In Caps,  RC A-10 Warthog it is no. 11 right now. The above example may lead you to believe that the pages on my site should all be in the higher search results when using small case.  However, check out Japanese Zero vs japanese zero.  Just the opposite is true.  In this case my page rates higher when entering it with Capital letters. Yet, if you look at RC A-6 Intruder vs rc a-6 intruder, they are both around no. 7 in the search results. Check out how little content is on the page that is higher in the results than mine for the A-6: http://www.dhgate.com/jet-airplane-a-6-intruder-high-grade-rtf/p-ff80808128ed96260128f2db154e1e9f.html Check out my A-6 page: http://www.aviationtrivia.info/Grumman-A-6-Intruder.php I think it is because DH Gate, like Amazon, simply has thousands of pages and G likes that, even if each page has little content.  Do you concur? I think what G is doing is known as the google dance.  It is reminiscent of the cypher codes used to encrypt top secret transmissions for the military in that it is constantly changing so as to discourage detection.  What may be a top page one day can rate up to 10 positions lower on another. Many of my pages have slipped only slightly when G changed their algorithm, such as from no. 1 in the search results to no. 3.  (Virtually all the top rated pages are now ones which have videos.)   However, that has been enough to make a big difference in traffic and sales. Other than start taking videos of some 500 rc airplanes featured on my site, putting the videos on my site and YouTube, and hoping that the videos will be highly rated, I don't know how to get my pages as high in the search results as the YouTube pages. The other pages which usually are higher in G's search results are forums like RC Universe and RC Groups.  They have tens of thousands of pages, none of which have been changed, dating back to the late 1990's.  Not much I can do about that either. My aim is to be in G's search results right after the videos and forums.  I think that someone searching for a rc airplane for sale will go right past them if they know that Aviation Trivia has ALL the rc airplanes of a particular model listed on it on a single page. The changes I've made, ie. no longer dividing the page between the actual aircraft and rc models of it, has gotten those pages back into the top ten search results, but not for both Caps and small letters.

Hi again, I still have a question If all my content is accessible without javascript (my ajax pagination), do you think Google with crawl all my content? Search Engine cannot read js no?

I use linkscape but I'm looking for a tool to manually add in backlinks and make sure they're still active. Linkscape also has a level of filtering where only some domains end up crawled completely.

All juice goes to first link unless you # the link.
