Neat SEO Trick - Page 2

Yah, for me it shows a ? in the title of the program, just an arrow on the search engine.

edbarton · 11-02-2003, 01:25 PM

Thank me for the arrow code

edbarton · 11-02-2003, 01:27 PM

Also though if you put this in front of your title with all your keywords they count as one word back so now that word that was at the front is now second and has less relevance

Pimpen 2010 · 11-02-2003, 01:29 PM

O, I take that as a bad thing?

edbarton · 11-02-2003, 01:33 PM

Not necassarily that bad a thing, but you should consider it

I am not sure what weight it would have. Any of the SEO guys have any idea.

Where's John or PhilC or whoever!

**John Scott** · 11-02-2003, 01:41 PM

I doubt it has any affect on SE rankings; just a positive affect on CTR.

edbarton · 11-02-2003, 01:48 PM

Ok then. I don't suppose it would've changed many peoples minds. Just a consideration to take into account I thought. If you give it the all clear then I am going for it. Should help with my poor rankings I have

Pimpen 2010 · 11-02-2003, 01:49 PM

Ok, thats cool then. I hope this helps!

PhilC · 11-03-2003, 02:18 AM

My best guess is that it could affect the rankings slightly because of the right-shift, especially in competitive areas.

It's a cool find, Pimpen, very creative and definitely an attention grabber that will get more clicks. But will it be the right clicks? For corporate clients it may seem desperate... Also, it is a threat to Adwords. Will Google react? Personally I'm a chicken since I live off my site so I don't dare do anything to my site that Google on a bad day would strike down on. But I hail the creativity here.

Good call - definitely an interesting tip. I'll try that out later on some pages.

Pimpen 2010 · 11-03-2003, 02:33 PM

I'll take that into account, if it hurts anything, I'll take it off.

Rick · 11-03-2003, 10:23 PM

I have a feeling Google will disable this if it does catch on.

Gede · 11-03-2003, 10:50 PM

I have done. As soon as it affect rankings it goes of

Pimpen 2010 · 11-04-2003, 02:37 PM

Yes, anything bad, I'm flushing it! If it brings good, I'm keepin it :cool:

janeth · 11-06-2003, 06:00 AM

I added it to the title but it does not show up in the searches.

Google was on the site this week but it looks like the did not see it

edbarton · 11-06-2003, 09:22 AM

Give it a bit

It shows up for all of mine, just give it a few days

My site seems to be getting spidered very quickly, it was in Google about a couple of hours after I made the change

janeth · 11-06-2003, 09:30 AM

Google has been coming to my site about every 3 days. But it seems to take forever for new links to show up or new pages to get a pr

That update is only done once in a while. Google does know your new PR all the time, but the toolbar PR is only updated once in a while. It was just being updated about 3 weeks ago, and before that, it wasn't updated for at least 6 weeks, I think.
So, don't worry too much about the toolbar PR and IBL's showing up in google. Google knows what PR you have and where your IBL's are, and will rank you accordingly.
