Search MeetUp Bangalore 2009 – Round Up
The first ever Search Meetup that took place on Friday, October 30, 2009 in Bangalore which was hosted by Crederity & Digital Marketers is an interactive session with Gillian Muessig (SEOmom). The event kicked off with an introductory among the participants and a small SEO tip session due to the delay by speaker to the event. If you think you had missed a great tip I would say ‘No’ it is again the old SEO story “Content is the King” that came from most of the participants. With few tips going on a sudden shift to this is the entry of the SEOmom to the event.
Poor Landing Page Score leads Suspension in Google Adwords Account
There are threads in Google adwords help and many other forums stating that the advertisers account are being suspended following the poor landing page score. I have been hearing continuous complaints from Google AdWords advertisers for the past few days or so, in regards to Google both banning and warning of banning advertisers for having “poor quality landing pages.” The part of the email says as,
Your Google AdWords account has been suspended due to multiple submissions of poor quality landing pages. We are unable to revoke your account suspension, and we will not accept advertisements from you in the future.
Google Confused with Google Place Pages
Google recently announced a significant thing in Google Maps called “Place pages”. Google Place pages will provide single page for each place in the world. This page will have the information including website info, directions, reviews, additional information, street view etc. And quite interestingly Google started pulling information from many sources and not just yelp thus making Google Maps as a serious competitor for the website Yelp.
HTTP Status Codes and Search Engines
Server Status code are the number values of the HTTP request. It is important to understand the different server status code that will be useful in the SEO perspective and how search engines bots react to the same.
Before getting into the server status codes it is important to understand the difference between HTTP /1.0 and HTTP/ 1.1 protocols. The HTTP/1.0 protocol has been stunningly successful and as a measure of its popularity, HTTP accounted for about 75% of Internet backbone traffic. In spite of its success, however, HTTP/1.0 is widely understood to have numerous flaws. To overcome the flaws in HTTP/1.0 the HTTP-Working Group (HTTP-WG) developed an improved protocol, known as HTTP/1.1. This specification states the various requirements for clients, proxies, servers and later became an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Draft Standard. The server status code tends to differ based on the version of the HTTP.
