What can be considered duplicate content and how does it affect SEO?

What is valid xhtml and why is it important?

You said a few things about white hat and black hat. When you do white hat stuff your content is the same as what your users see?

Black hat stuff is your users see a different content than what the search engines see?

Why would someone do that bad part? Besides to try and get ahead of say my site?

By white hat stuff, your site title? H1 tags? etc. Your talking about these?

Great podcast. You guys make it simple. KISS

Keyword Research

How does one know what key words to use? I mean toolbarn sells tools, so I am assuming you would use any word or words that you would for tools.

On a shopping mall it would have a lot of keywords. You can not use them all on your main page, so how does one pick out what to use?

You’ve mentioned spiders and bots a few times. I have some inkling of what these are and what they mean so SEO, but some facts to back up my suspicions would be helpful.

When creating internal links, what is better, using relative links or absolute links.

I was wondering if you could give us newbies some tips of placing our Google advertisements to help gain the important clicks!

Thanks.

I was listing to your bot pod cast and was wondering what are some of the reason that bots will not crawl your site. Things like no-follow, restricted, etc.

What software and hardware if any do you use to make these pod cast? You site software is wordpress, so I assume there is a mod/plug-in for this. What is it called?

If someone wanted to do what you guys are doing what is required to get going?

Firstly, love the podcasts.

Q:

You mentioned a couple of episodes back about using dynamic content as a means of getting indexed more regularly. I assume you weren’t talking about simply printing the current server time in the page footer. Could you possibly elaborate upon what you meant?

Thanks guys!

[…] Ask a question […]

In the podcast “How do I check my rankings via software” you mentioned “API” several times, and how I must use it or the 800 pound gorilla will get me. Google defines it as Application Program Interface. Can you tell me more about API and how I use it?

Hi, I really like your site and podcasts.

In one of your recent podcasts you mentioned the Google API, required for doing bulk Page rankings. Sometime ago I looked into this and came across http://www.googlerankings.com/, they say the Google API you need is the SOAP Search API, however when, you investigate further you get the following message “As of December 5, 2006, we are no longer issuing new API keys for the SOAP Search API. Developers with existing SOAP Search API keys will not be affected.”

I know there are loads of types of Google API’s, so is there another one that can be got that does the same job?

Keep up the great work and keep selling those power tools.

Could you tell me the difference between a Home Page and a Landing Page, and how does that difference affect my ranking?

I was listening to your podcast regarding “cloaking” and have a related question. I often develop Flash based web pages which are notoriously difficult for search engines to deal with and was considering serving the same exact “content” to the web crawlers in a more digestible format (xml or xhtml perhaps). Would this be considered “cloaking” and fall under the “don’t do it” guidelines you recommend? My intent is not to do anything deceptive but rather to make the sites more accessible and searchable while providing people with a richer user experience.

I appreciate your podcast. Thank you for your time.

What is the best way to gain subscribers to your rss feed?

On your SES Latino Recap pod cast I heard you guys talking about the Latino people. You guys started to talk about call centers and having someone that can speak which ever language. What about cites say like YourWeb.Info that do not have call centers or for that matter any site that sells a product but are not big enough to have a call center. Is there something they can do to help out trying to reach say the Latino people? What would we have to do?

Hi, The company I work for is developing a new website. It is a dynamic coldfusion site and I am concerned that the new pages will not have the same URLs as the old pages. What is the best way to handle this as the majority of our incoming links will now become 404 errors? Thanks.
