Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Mike, Thanks for that. I figured as I hadn't received any emails from Google that it shouldn't be a problem. Cheers

You too, gardening and building links is the plan!

Thanks Wissam, that's cleared that up. On my blog page I don't have the same URL so it will count it in the body text. Many Thanks

I definitely don't agree that article writing is a thing of the past. What I think IS a thing of the past (at least, I HOPE so) is low quality articles, spun articles, and the thin content that so many directories have accepted, pre-Panda. In fact, my business has exploded since Panda was released, as people scurry to acquire quality articles to replace the watered-down garbage they were previously buying for .01-.02 per word. So I'd say no, it's not a dead practice, but going forward, it's going to take higher quality to be effective.

Thanks Thetjo, interesting> Maybe I should just take his advice: Stop Obsessing & Get to Work

An old answer to an old question, but one which has just helped me out tremendously. A true credit to the Q&A system!

Hello Tom and Asif, First of all Tom thanks for the excellent blog post re google docs. We are also using the Jshop platform for one of our sites. And am not sure whether it is working correctly in terms of SEO. I just ran an seomoz crawl of the site and found that every single link in the list has a rel canonical in it, even the ones with session id's. Here is an example: www.strictlybeautiful.com/section.php/184/1/davines_shampoo/d112a41df89190c3a211ec14fdd705e9 www.strictlybeautiful.com/section.php/184/1/davines_shampoo As Asif has pointed out the Jshop people say they have programmed it so that google cannot pick up the session ids, firstly is that even possible? And if I assume thats not an issue then what about the fact that every single page on the site has a rel canonical link on it? Any help would be much appreciated. <colgroup><col width="1074"></colgroup> | | | |
