Duplicate Title Tags - Same Page or Across Multiple Pages?

Kayak — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:53:41 GMT

Google Webmaster Tools is reporting duplicate title tags. Does this mean I have the same title tag used more than once on a page; or that I have the same title tag used on several pages? Or are both a problem?

The page title appears twice on each page, one is being generated by the theme, and the other by a seo plugin. However; this is also on every page: "

Google Analytics code theft

shailender — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:33:54 GMT

Let's say A created a new website and stole the design of B's website plus by mistake also uses the Google analytics code of B's website. How does google going to react here?

I mean same analytics code has been using on two different websites, therefore analytics would show increased traffic for B's website... however it's not getting increased traffic. Does it good for B as Google itself showing increased traffic?

Now B contact to A to remove google analytics code but A neither respond nor remove the code, so what should be the next step of B to handle this situation?

6 Sure-fire Signs That Your SEO Company Sucks

snakeair — Tue, 15 May 2012 04:30:51 GMT

So, you think your SEO company that you hired is legit? I'm sure the SEO company owners will have something to say about this thread. Make sure you read the whole blog post from the YOUmoz blog.

Quote:

So you just signed with an SEO company or you've been with them for awhile. You outsourced because you didn't have the time or expertise for SEO, but you know it's important given the fact that inbound leads cost 61% less than outbound leads and 80% of clicks go to organic results. You've also long heard the negative echoes about SEO. Just look at what some common searches about SEO look like on Google: (See blog post for screenshot)

The question you might be asking yourself now is this: how confident am I with my SEO company? Are they as good as they say they are? What have the results been? To help you make a decision with your current SEO company or your next SEO company, this post will go over some red flags that will tell you how good a SEO company really is. If a few of these warning signs are present with your current SEO company, chances are they aren't as good as they say they are.

Your thoughts? FYI, if you been hit by panda or the penguin while using a SEO company, it's best to drop them as they didn't do a good job for you.

SEOmoz To Identify Search Spam

Dan — Mon, 14 May 2012 23:47:07 GMT

SEOmoz is working on their own spam detection project...

Quote:

SEOmoz is working on software to add to their toolset to help SEOs determine if their pages or competitors pages are spammy in nature. If SEOmoz can figure it out, the purpose would be to tell webmasters and SEOs that Google probably figured it out and thus the links and content on those pages classified as spammy are probably not worth much.

Rand explained that if they classify it as spam, "we're pretty sure Google would call webspam."

Continued at: http://www.seroundtable.com/seo-spam...ion-15118.html

What do you guys think?

For mine. 2 things bother me about the project.

1. Rand's statement that if his project classifies it as spam he's pretty sure Google will. That is a grandiose assumption. That is like saying he knows exactly how Google detects spam and will be using those exact same methods to produce his project. Rand gets into situations where he makes statements where he seems like he thinks he is a lot more important than he really is. He's done this before in relation to the directory industry, and when asked to provide facts and evidence all he could say in response was that it was "his opinion" and that other's should proceed based on their own experiences. That doesn't seem real concrete to me. It sounds like strong marketing speak, followed by wafer thing actual reporting. Not convincing.

2. Intentions. Even if SEOmoz has the best intentions here --- i.e. to provide a private spam detection tool which will help webmasters/SEOs identify which websites/links/pages in their link profile could be low quality or have spam-indicators --- the problem will come when people use a mob mentality to force them to start outing people. Suddenly best intentions turn into scapegoating, backstabbing and ruined lived. Let's not forget that many people rely on their businesses for their livelihood and being classified as a spammer (whether legitimate or not) could ruin their life.

To take point 2 one step further... There are many bricks 'n' mortar businesses in real life that are considered scammy/spammy. How about that last electricity/internet/phone bill you got. Hang on, I didn't subscribe to that how come there's a $20 charge for this on my bill.. What's that $42 charge for? How about pest control services? A guy comes around with a stick and taps all the walls in your house and then hands you a bill for a couple of hundred bucks and says you don't have any pests.

I think SEOmoz are going to open up a giant can of worms by going down this road. As one commentator said, I think they should leave the "policing of search results" to the search engines themselves.
