Search Engine Optimization

  • Myth No. 10: Google penalize you if you are bound by a link farm
  • While Google has stated that you can not be penalized because of something that is not in your direct control, they have systems in place to determine if you are involved in programmes that are against their TOC.

  • Myth No. 9: Google will not list your site, or penalize it, if you use Popups
  • Google does not consider pop-ups as a matter of indexing. However, if the popups are violent, you can be deindexed manually.

  • Myth No. 8: Google will not index dynamic pages
  • Google has indexed dynamic content all the time, the issue is, should it properly indexed, and it is the responsibility of the webmaster, not Google.

  • Myth No. 7: Google Analytics is used to track your user behavior for future products with Google
  • The data are not used by Google for conditions of use. There is no real value for Google to analyze this information.

  • Myth No. 6: Being listed in the Open Directory Project (ODP) gives you a “special” bonus of PageRank
  • There is not a special bonus, you get PageRank of the ODP the same as you would from any another site.

  • Myth No. 5: Being listed in Yahoo! Give you a “special” bonus of PageRank
  • Similar with No. 6. There is no bonus given.

  • Myth No. 4: the search for the links on Google using “link:” you show all your backlinks
  • Google only shows you a few links they know. They have publicly stated that the links they show you may not all be taken into account for PR. Instead, Yahoo! or MSN as a gauge link to your progress.

  • Myth No. 3: PageRank is a value based on the number of links to your site
  • There is more to do with the quality of links coming into your site.

  • Myth No. 2: The Google Toolbar List your factual PageRank
  • The toolbar displays PageRank and backlinks information that is usually 3 to 5 months old.

  • Myth No. 1: the higher your Google PageRank (PR), the higher you’ll be in the search engine results pages (SERPs)
  • PR has nothing to do with the ranking of web pages, but it has to do with the level of authority and how many times a page will be reindexed. Higher PageRank pages simply tend to be more often reindexed.
