Quote: See the trend? If you are below those and have a real product you lose, those above sites appear to be very official and suck in the limited business.

I see alot of this, i.e. where one vendor buys out all the ranking directory listings and gets affiliate links indexed. I found a really extreme example of this the other day. Try [tutorial builder]. Every single link on the front page is a freeware software site listing the same product.

Hi There,

We launched a site for dating 45 days ago and we are trying to get the best exposure on the SE. What I am still observing is that either though we have links still no PR is given to us (we have few PR4-5 sites linking to us) and the generic searches are very little.Since our site is for dating, we have user generated content as profile pages. The question I have is should we add all of the profile pages in the sitemap and allow to be browsed by spyders. Do you believe this might help with the ranking? Also, do you recommend linking with higher PR sites or with more but lower PR sites. Using google Adwords shows that almost every ’spam ad site’ lists us, but they have no PR at all and I doubt that the users actually convert into signups from these sites.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Matt,
We have a client who has 1 site for domestic visitors and another for international visitors. If a user originates from outside of Ireland according to their IP address, a layer will roll out before the homepage loads. A pop up will allow the visitor to select their home country and click on a link to the relevant website. Do you have any idea what are the SEO implications for this?

Does Google read the style sheets on a webpage? I have heard that it can help my website placment if I have H1 and H2 tages. I have created custom H1 and H2 tags for the purpose of making them look better. Does anyone know if Google still regards this has an “H1″ tag?

Hi Matt,

can you say us something to double content – i make very good recipes on my site http://www.besterezeptesuche.de – and I also give some recipes to yahoo.de, web.de and gmx.de. to health or lifestyle site. in all recipes at the site of our partners you can find a link with definition of copyright and “quelle”.

Is it a problem for us (bad listings in gindex) and does google check that the content is from us?

Thank you for your answear if possible.
