One of the take away points listed was: "template-based sites may not rank well because they appear alike to the crawlers... - Tim Mayer and Matt Cutts both iterated this thought." I would like to know how you define "template-based." I use the word template to refer to the consistent look/feel/navigation on each page of my site that creates a cohesive unit. Thanks, -Star3 PS - I dig the spam slayer logo. It has a mythical "round table" feel to it. Matt,

I especially liked the comments on the chiropractor with the cartoon font website. This was my first pubcon and I enjoyed it. Hopefully i'll see you at the next pubcon.

I really got the idea. Follow the Google guidelines for webmasters, don't do link exchange or buy lins etc, high quality relavent content, in my case local content, and make sure to put my keyword string at least somewhere on my page. Most of all, build it for the user. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! dk Thans for the site review. I really got the idea.

I have to admit, at first I was dissapointed with some of the brief elementary information that was being discussed at PubCon, but the Google Staff by the booth and <a href='http://www.bladam.com/' rel="nofollow">Adam Lasnik</a> made the entire event worth it by answering a few specific questions that I wasn't absolutely sure on how to approach a solution. Some of my issues were the non www 301 redirect to www, and my ssl(https pages) were also being indexed and how to remedy the best solution. Internal Duplicate content (30 flavors of hookah tobacco) I definitely need to rework all of my content but there's only so much you can do lol. Thanks again for all of you guys at Google for making the trip to Vegas worth it for me. Hey Matt, I wanted to convey my appreciation for what the Google Staff did this week at PubCon.
