Does the inurl parameter work for file types? For example, if I only want PDF or DOC files for results?

@Adam Senour: I usually do that if I want to see other discussions about some site (linked to from page I am reading). I know there’s some operator for that, but I don’t remember it, so I just cut-and-paste url in Google. There, site itself appears on top mostly, and I proceed to that page from there, occasionaly…

Hi Matt,

Sorry for my late comment, i just fount this interesting article.

My question is: when i search for mydomain.com and there appears a redirect link – is this something google would like to hear about?

The redirect-Link is well placed now – in fact Nr. 1 with the two most important keywords. So there are still visitors to my site over this redirect-Link. But the problem is, that other sites from my domain – which where well placed for other keywords before that happened – are now far away from the Top-Results. So my thought is, that this redirect doesn´t hurt the ranking of the index site (it only appears the redirect-link instead of the real domain), but it hurts the ranking of all the other sites of this domain. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Markus

(hope my english isn´t too poor – i´m out of practice for a while now)

@Adam Senour: looking at my logfiles I see A LOT of people typing in the domain name into google instead of the browser. beats my why they do it, but on some domains it’s 10-20% of the google-hits.

You and me both, buddy. But I’ve seen it range from anywhere from 1-15% of traffic from SEs in general.

Hi Matt,

“The hyphenation shouldn’t cause any problems either way. When I talk about how to give Bigdaddy feedback, I hope you’ll submit your example.”

I have submitted the example via spam report. I included your Q&A for that instance in the submission. I would be curious to know the results. Meaning if it really was a “hijack” or actually a google issue.

Thanks.

Mike

apparently people don’t know the difference between google and the browser (toolbar issue?) and do not know how to bookmark a page (although I provide a link on the site).
