Hi Matt, this is the best advice on this theme for all time of my searches of the necessary information. I now just am engaged in a spelling of article describing the Google’s advanced search. Your information Will be very useful to me, and I can make article rather useful to my readers. Thank’s again

@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).

Liza, that would be my advice. The supplemental results are independent of Bigdaddy. You can think of them as being overlaid on top of data centers. So I wouldn’t report weird supplemental results in this iteration.

Jon Henshaw, that fried donut is so wrong, yet so right.
