I am told that www. and non www. url’s can be call duplicate site and be removed by google for being a copy cat site. example http://www.google.com and google.com are the same site. Will there ever be a day when seach engines notice http://www.url and just url as one site.

Reason for this question is I list my site using the non www. but some people when that link back to me add the www. to my url and others dont.
I think this is a big problem for many webmasters who are wanting thier url’s to be as short as possible.

Matt, I caught those same ticker symbols at SNY and put them in my Flickr stream. Feel free to use them as you see fit.

Hi Boydie,

Sorry, I didn’t have a chance to read through these comments until now.

A Sitemap can list up to 50,000 URLs and be up to 10MB.
http://google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html#sitemapFileRequirements

If you have more URLs than that, you can break them into multiple Sitemap files and then list those in a Sitemap index file (which can list up to 1,000 Sitemaps).

If you have old pages that you don’t include in your Sitemap, Googlebot will likely still visit them by following links.

Aaron – No, that was no mother ship. It was indeed a windows icon for “Free AOL & Unlimited…” like most new PC’s have. There were other icons as well around the building, which was actually a set for a local sports program. It was quite funny.

Matt, I get relegated to just being “someone”. Well, I guess that’s what the comments are for.

It says “Free AOL and Unlimited Folders”.

Which is short for “We’ll use our ESP-like abilities to allow you to put as many folders as you like on your hard drive, as long as your hard drive doesn’t fill up. However, for every folder you add, we will send you one of those stupid AOL CDs which are useless other than as drink coasters.”

(Yes, I actually use AOL CDs for drink coasters.)

Well Done Matt for staying on the Sprite, there was a few panalists that had a few more “sprites” than yourself.

Aren’t bloggers a pain?, the bloody noise they make when your trying to listen to speakers.

Good talk on the Dup content, I’ve learned the hard way.
Who was the dude promoting “Good” dub content and cloaking.
