I'm using swfobject, and in the replacement div I have a message for those who don't have Flash or JS support. The replacement div contains a message like "You don't have Flash player, please download here" - my concern here, is that Google will see and index this message, which is not relevant to the content of the page, and it's going...
I was under the impression that 404 redirects to the front page is considered bad. all websites should have a 404 page. But at the same time I notice alot of people in forums that want their site to redirect to front page when a 404 is called. which is better. Having a 404 error page or redirecting to the front page ...

Hi all, I have a shopping site that works a little bit differently than the rest: the only way to get to the products that you want is by search, my client asked not to display links to categories of products. I'm worried about search engine optimization because crawlers won't be able to get to the products or the views. Oh, didn't i m...
I added the following .htaccess rule:- RewriteRule ^widgets$ products.php?cat=20 [QSA] So now I have a simple link called 'widgets' which leads to the 'widgets' category 1st page. However, the links to the 2nd page looks like the following:- products.php?cat=20&pg=2 What I would like is for the subsequent pages to be rather in th...
I have my personal website running on my main domain like myname.net I want to buy some domains that have great keywords to me, like: professionalrj.net and freelancebrasil.net (just examples).

I am charging SEO of my company's SEO, which I really hate. I believe a web site with decent web design and semantic code(structure), spiced up with attractive content is the best thing we should do. Yet, we are still far from there, in me case especially. So usually I take a very close look at other sites, their design, code, etc. And I...
