Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I got it; it's a nice way of getting into the serp Using Google my maps

Thanks for all responses. Here is an official Google reply on negative keyword types: Negative exact would only not show when the exact term is the entire query. Negative phrase would not show anytime the term showed anywhere in the query in that order. Negative would not show anytime the entire term showed anywhere in the search query in any order. Say you had the keyword "blue mercedes car" on broad match. Here's how the different versions of the negative keyword "fast blue" would affect this ad. -fast blue (Negative) POSSIBLE SEARCHES: blue mercedes car - WOULD SHOW blue fast mercedes car - WOULD NOT SHOW mercedes fast car - WOULD SHOW car blue mercedes fast - WOULD NOT SHOW fast blue - WOULD NOT SHOW blue fast - WOULD NOT SHOW fast blue mercedes car - WOULD NOT SHOW -"fast blue" (Negative Phrase) POSSIBLE SEARCHES: blue mercedes car - WOULD SHOW blue fast mercedes car - WOULD SHOW mercedes fast car - WOULD SHOW car blue mercedes fast - WOULD SHOW fast blue - WOULD NOT SHOW blue fast - WOULD SHOW fast blue mercedes car - WOULD NOT SHOW -[fast blue] (Negative Exact) POSSIBLE SEARCHES: blue mercedes car - WOULD SHOW blue fast mercedes car - WOULD SHOW mercedes fast car - WOULD SHOW car blue mercedes fast - WOULD SHOW fast blue - WOULD NOT SHOW blue fast - WOULD SHOW fast blue mercedes car - WOULD SHOW Note that we do not expand to synonyms, singular or plural, and other variations as in the case of expanded broad match. So, the negative keyword "Air" wouldn't block the term "Airbnb" since it is one word, but would block the phrase "Air Mattress" because it contains the word "Air". I hope this helps

Hi, I fully agree that the data are already being populated by GA in the "matched search query" but what I'm looking for is to see both. But you gave me the solution by just answering this. Use matched search query and add a secondary dimension the keyword tab. This gives me the information I',m looking for.

Sure they are no-follow but since I was pushing people to share the different longtail pages I have seen a raise in the longtail rankings so I'm under the impression these share did have part to do with that. I'm under the impression the Panda update changed quite a bit...

What they're using is rich snippets. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippets.html You can read about it there. I would recommend using it if possible, they do make it nice for the end-user and result in higher CTR's in my experience.

Hi! I'm following up on some older questions. What did you do in this case? One thing I would have added to this discussion is that if you owned the domain already to verify it in Google Webmaster Tools and see if there were any webmaster notifications there about the domain.

We did go ahead and it worked out fine. It took some time to gain the positions, but it really was worth it.
