Monograph of Google Analytics

Google has re-casted Urchin and launched Google Analytics, “It tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site. It does a great job to focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI. It automatically tags keyword destination URLs and improve your site to convert more visitors.”

The best thing is, it’s now free and seamlessly integrates with those running an Adwords
campaign.Google Analytics is the only product that can automatically provide AdWords ROI metrics, without you having to import cost data or add tracking information to keywords. Google Analytics tracks all of your non-AdWords initiatives as well.

The move could present a significant threat to rivals in the Web analytics sector, who may be forced to change their pricing strategies in response to Google’s free service. The service is currently available in 16 international languages.

Review of Google Sitemaps

Google Sitemaps are the services launched by Google ,mainly to optimize Googlebot Website crawling. It will help webmaster to get their new stuff crawled by Googlebot faster than before.

Google SiteMaps now opens the cannel for everybody, offering a method to exchange information on new and modified content in a timely manner. Both sides can benefit: Google saves a whole of a lot of machine time and bandwidth costs, site owners get their new content earlier on Google’s SERPs and reduce their server load by Googlebot no longer spidering archived content too frequently.

You may be especially interested in using Google Sitemaps if you want Google to crawl more of the pages on your site and if you want to be able to tell Google when content on your site changes.

Use of the Google Sitemaps program is absolutely free. This collaborative crawling system will allow crawlers to optimize the usefulness of Google’s index for users by improving its coverage and freshness.

Google helps on content or page removal from google reader or a blog posting from blog search

Remove a blog from Blog Search
Only blogs with site feeds will be included in Blog Search. If you’d like to prevent your feed from being crawled, make use of a robots.txt file or meta tags (NOINDEX or NOFOLLOW), . Please note that if you have a feed that was previously included, the old posts will remain in the index even though new ones will not be added.

Remove a RSS or Atom feed
When users add your feed to their Google homepage or Google Reader, Google’s Feedfetcher attempts to obtain the content of the feed in order to display it. Since Feedfetcher requests come from explicit action by human users, Feedfetcher has been designed to ignore robots.txt guidelines. It’s not possible for Google to restrict access to a publicly available feed. If your feed is provided by a blog hosting service, you should work with them to restrict access to your feed.

Wrong and erronous Backlinks showing up,

recently some of our clients have reports some erronous backlinks showing in their backlinks, they think they never had backlinks from those bad neighbourhood sites but still those sites appear in backlinks,

Immediately we jumped into research and found out that there are many other people seeing the same problem,

This member in webmasterworld.com has reported the same problem faced by some of our clients

he says

“
I am getting referrals in my logs from extremely explicit websites.
I visit the URL in the log and it brings me to a totally pornographic page with absolutely no links to my site. I have however found a few of these pages cached in Google, and they start out linking to a bunch of legitimate sites, then throw up porn once the pages get indexed.
What is the purpose of this, and what benefit can come of it for the publisher.
How can I block referrals from these domains? Will receiving referrals from domains of this nature cause G to assume my site is somehow related?

SEO blog team,

Update Jagger moves into 2nd phase now,

Google has just started a series of updates, Webmasterworld named this update as Jagger and that is what googleguy matt cutts calls it, Google guy’s blog is a great source of information www.mattcutts.com/blog he gives valuable facts about this new update, Update 1 which started last week around 20th oct was called jagger 1 and next update which started today is called jagger 2, Googleguy has said this update will move into a third phase somewhere in the mid of next week, Lets hope everyone’s sites does well with google,

googleguy mattcutt’s posting in webmasterworld.com

“McMohan, good eyes in spotting some changes at 66.102.9.104. I expect Jagger2 to start at 66.102.9.x. It will probably stay at 1-2 data centers for the next several days rather than spreading quickly. But that data center shows the direction that things will be moving in (bear in mind that things are fluxing, and Jagger3 will cause flux as well).

If you’re looking at 66.102.9.x and have new feedback on what you see there (whether it be spam or just indexing related), please use the same mechanism as before, except use the keyword Jagger2. I believe that our webspam team has taken a first pass through the Jagger1 feedback and acted on a majority of the spam reports. The quality team may wait until Jagger3 is visible somewhere before delving into the non-spam index feedback.
If things stay on the same schedule (which I can’t promise, but I’ll keep you posted if I learn more), Jagger3 might be visible at one data center next week. Folks should have several weeks to give us feedback on Jagger3 as it gradually becomes more visible at more data centers. “

Google Guy Matt Cutts explanation on reinclusion requests,

Google guy matt cutts has explained how to do a site reinclusion request into google incase the site has been banned, please read it here,

First off, what’s a reinclusion request and why would you want to do one? If you’ve been experimenting with SEO, or you employ as SEO company that might be doing things outside Google’s guidelines, and your site has taken a precipitous drop recently, you may have a spam penalty. A reinclusion request asks Google to remove any potential spam penalty.
The first step is to take a long, hard look at your website. Is there hidden text, hidden links, or cloaking on your site, especially on the front page? Are there doorway pages that do a JavaScript or some other redirect to a different page? Were you trying to use some automated program to get links or scrape Google? Whatever you find that you think may have been against Google’s guidelines, correct or remove those pages.
Now where should you send a reinclusion request? This has changed in the last few months from an email address to a web form. The best location to go is http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py . You can select “I’m a webmaster inquiring about my website” and then select “Why my site disappeared from the search results or dropped in ranking.” Click Continue, and on the page that shows up, make sure to type “Reinclusion Request” in the Subject: line of the resulting form. Upper- or lower-case doesn’t matter, but make sure you use the words “reinclusion request” in the subject line so it gets routed to the right place.

Google Toolbar Pagerank Dies – Page rank display in google toolbar dies

We speculated long time back why google’s toolbar was not updated frequently http://www.searchenginegenie.com/seo-blog/2004/09/toolbar-pagerank-is-dead-googles-page.html , Now it seems google will abandon toolbar pagerank all together very soon,

For the past 2 days google’s toolbar pagerank was greyed out, Usually grey pagerank display means the toolbar cannot fetch pagerank for that particular site from google server,

This is the case around the world, So is this the death of toolbar pagerank???, Lets wait for a few more days to know for sure,

We at Search Engine Genie dont care if google abandons toolbar pagerank, We dont measure a sites quality based on the pagerank of that site, Also we dont measure links based on pagerank,
