Which links do Google display with link query?

Posted by Preeti Prakash on November 28, 2009

I have seen many of my colleagues and friends checking backlinks in Google, and not getting satisfactory results. When you type a link query or link command in Google search box, it returns only a few links while Yahoo returns majority of them. Why is it so? Do Google recognize only few of them? No. It’s not like that. Google do recognize them, but it doesn’t want you to know that it recognizes them.

For Google, link command is link:www.askpreeti.com

For Yahoo, link command is linkdomain:www.askpreeti.com

Google have deliberately manipulated their back link query system so that it only lets you see a small percentage of backlinks that it recognizes.

What Google say about Keywords Meta Tag?

Posted by Preeti Prakash on October 9, 2009

In 1998, when Google came into existence, other search engines like Infoseek and Altavista were indexing sites using the keywords meta tag. But, keyword meta tag, being a webmaster controlled parameter, can be easily manipulated to stuff it up with irrelevant and undesirable keywords.

While not giving any advantage to keyword stuffing, Google came up with the idea of using external links to rank the websites. Webmasters, having the older conception in mind, believed that Google too uses the keyword meta tag.

Thus, since its inception, Google had never used the keyword meta tag, since people started to stuff it up with keywords even irrelevant to their website. Other search engines might use it but Google, which is the major source of traffic for websites, don’t bother about it.

What is the future of SEO in the world of ever-evolving search engines?

Posted by Preeti Prakash on June 25, 2009

Aaron Wall raised a question ‘Will SEO be dead within next two years?’

Future of SEO - Dead or Live?

Future of SEO - Dead or Live?

Most of the SEOs are of the opinion “NO, SEO will continue till search engines continue to rank sites. Though the techniques used may change.”

I would say that SEO might be dead. As the search engines especially Google are changing the way they rank sites, SEO will not be needed anymore. Since its inception, algorithm of Google to rank sites has changed a lot. Earlier it used to rank sites based on the keywords in ‘keyword’ Meta tag. Later it made the use of this tag obsolete.

How to check backlinks of a website?

Posted by Preeti Prakash on May 25, 2009

After a long wedding vacation, I finally got settled in Mumbai with my hubby. Now I am trying to catch up with the SEO things. Checking backlinks of a website is a very common thing for an online marketer, but the problem arises when we are presented with different results using different techniques.

Missing links in Google’s link search

Google’s link command no longer shows all the sites linking to your site. It only shows a sample of the links pointing to your site. So these results are in no way indicative of the link algorithm used by Google to determine a page’s Page Rank.
