PREFACE: If this question is redundant feel free to delete/close whatever. Based off of what I've seen on SO I don't think it is but it could be that questions of this nature get closed. I hate SEO. At best it's lame, at worst it's a scam. However when designing sites that need to be consumed by the public, it's something to take into ...
Hi hopefully a quick and simple question with a quick and simple answer! Which of the following would be better for SEO purposes /news?pg=2 or /news/2/ Does the second one dilute the page rank by being an extra folder level in?

So for example on our site there will be an outgoing link something like this (names changed to protect my work): <a href="link.php?link=chuckecheese">check it out kids!</a> if you go into link.php, you see I define the link there: $outlink...
Has anyone perform a research on the effect of using redirects to SEO? My situation: I have a link, say <a href="click.htm?id=1"></a>, the target page will record a clickthrough through server-side code and send a redirect response for the original URL to the user agent. How does this may affect SEO? In contrast, Google search result ...

Currently I have to think of a solution for generating and maintaining lots of static landing pages for a membership-only e-commerce site (e.g. we sell products X, Y and Z but only to our members and we want to make a (SEO-friendly) landing pages for each product). Each page would be almost unique in content and the meta data but th...
I am building a product catalog for a customer website under ASP.NET using .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. Each product has a part number and an OEM part number (all globally unique).

I knew that Google’s search algorithm is mainly based on pagerank. However, it also does analyse and use the structure of the document H1, H2, title and other HTML tags to enhance the search results. My question is: What is the name of this technique "using the document structure to enhance the search results"? And are there any acad...
I observed that StackOverflow uses two types of links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1072880/sitemap-xml and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1072880 for the same question. The idea is clear: add keywords into URL and have SE pick up the page faster. But shouldn't Google punish for the duplicate content in this case? I'm tryin...

I used tag to indicate the importance of a sentence. However, it disrupted the consistency of the page style. So I change it back with CSS. The result is that to visitors it is the same but to search engines(SEs), obviously, different. And this is what SEs are annoying about. So my question is can SEs read CSS, and further judge the w...
