Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What happens when you naviaget to these urls, [http://www.example.com/page/](http://www.example.com/page/)  and [http://www.example.com/page](http://www.example.com/page) do they resolve to one or the other, or do both render the page? The answer is to 301 to one or the other, and make sure you are not using both formats in your site.

Google sees the addition of a trademark symbol in a meta title tag as a separate keyword; I've never heard anything about how Google see's its use in content. I'd avoid doing this in cases where SEO is more important than usability (or legality). Hope this helps Mike

At 10:07pm tonight.  Check then and you'll be first on SERP. Obviously kidding, I have no certain idea just like the first two responses.  Consider some of the other factors - sites that re-post the TechCrunch article, number of shares you get on Twitter, whether or not any of the linking sites get "news" status from Google. It's like studying an elementary particle... one thing in theory but they don't exist in isolation long enough to be sure in our reverse engineering of Google's thinking.      With a surge of links from reputable sites, I'd expect a surge in rankings on some keywords within a couple days, with longer status near top if you continue to get referenced/links and a return to lower results if you don't.

read up on "keyword cannibalization" - it will give you a better view of how you can compete with yourself on keywords. best of luck! dan
