Years ago I would have jumped on this and see if I could modify it for self promotion but I must be getting sensible in my old age. Look at the first organic listing and see how apparently easy it is to crack even Google’s own SERP listing in Google.co.uk listings. Some free advertising for coinflation.com and [...]

13Gone From Google Cache: ‘These Terms Only Appear In Links Pointing To This Page’
Filed in: SEO by RMS on 11-13-11I’m not sure when this happened but I dont see any mention of it anywhere. After hiding the cached results link in the preview panel that now pops up in search results, it seems as though Google has now stopped telling us via the cached results: “these terms only appear in links pointing to this page“ While this was always a pretty inaccurate [...]

I’ve mentioned before that Google Suggest - the Google search feature that auto suggests searches as you type – is a great tool for keyword research – and the fact that it is (sometimes) updated same day, makes it all the more valuable.
This 100% free tool – Übersuggest - has been a about for a while, now – but it is a great way to use Google Suggest functionality to quickly see what people – that day – are typing in around a key word or key phrase.
Here’s a typical result set for the search …. ‘google suggest‘:

08First Link Priority? Do Multiple Links From 1 Page to Another Page Count?
Filed in: SEO by RMS on 09-08-11Hi Matt. If we add more than one links from page A to page B, do we pass more PageRank juice and additional anchor text info? Also can you tell us if links from A to A count?
STOP PRESS – All-round nice guy and official representative for Google published a a video recently telling us how Google USED to work according to the original Pagerank formula! 
I suppose there’s a good attempt at explaining Pagerank in simple terms with fingers for those new to seo. Or at least, how it used to work. Let’s face it – Google Pagerank works differently than it used to.

Hmmmm – has Google keyword tool been updated? I can paste a LOT more keywords into the search box (which previously had been limited to 100 was it not?).
I have been doing keyword research solid for the last 4 weeks and last week for a short time Google Keyword Tool also let me EXPORT more than 800 keywords at a time. Well, it let me do it once. Perhaps this is old news – I do have a very formulaic approach to keyword research – I might not have got the memo.

This is interesting….it’s the first time in a UK search I have seen Google testing (I think) AJAX to display more results instead of visitors clicking to the second and third page of Google search results etc – as has been traditional for over ten years. It should be noted my guy was signed into Google Plus when we took the screenshot.
With this new pagination – IS GOOGLE PREPARING TO MAKE IT”S SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS PAGES (SERPS) INFINITE SCROLLING?
It is going to be interesting to see what impact this has on click through rates.

Mega sitelinks have been spotted in Google searches by web masters for some navigational queries. Google started testing these a few days ago – and I see it rolling out to other sites as of today – although it’s clear it hasn’t rolled out everywhere.
These enhanced search listings might be here to stay……
Did you get Mega Sitelinks?

If you are lucky – perhaps you’ll get new mega site links, like the ones keen Webmasterworld visitors recently spotted…… mega site links is a pretty decent name for them – it’s what I immediately thought. Google is at least testing these new site-links in some countries, presumably to ensure you hit the right site when you perform navigational queries….
and that’s as opposed to:
I’d imagine this sort of mega site links could really help you out if a business has a crap online reputation in which case it could push a lot of negative media below the fold….. then again, you’ll need to have quite a lot of domain authority to get handed these I would imagine.
