[Hidden-tech] Puzzle for HT SEO experts

[Rob Laporte]

Old and staging sites often stay in search engine indexes, for various
reasons. One should write page-to-page 301 redirects from old to new pages
and also wildcard redirects that take care of any expired or staging pages.
Both types of redirects can involve coding that prevents having to do manual
redirects for each page. Also, one should write 301 redirect code that
reconnects any inbound links and their PageRank to expired pages. Then one
should update the xml sitemap. There¹s more one can do to implement PageRank
sculpting (which is not the justly discredited nofollow tag sculpting), and
when my article on PageRank sculpting is published in the next Visibility
Magazine, I email a link to it.

Technical SEO, as opposed to keywording text, is most of what SEO consists
of these days, at least for larger websites. It¹s reaching a point of
complexity that, sadly, ever larger small businesses can¹t afford to do
right, and at the same time Google, especially after its major Panda and
Penguin updates, is making adherence to rules of technical SEO more
essential. The silver lining is that, since few do it right or thoroughly,
this creates opportunity to exceed competition, and once implemented, it
endures for years if not screwed up subsequently.

I¹m not an SEO expert, but I think Google is looking at the old or
Hidden-Tech test site. Someone was talking with me and thought our
Hidden-Tech.net site was down, but she had actually been looking at our old
or test site. I¹ve encountered the same problem with my Wordpress test site.
My web host wants to update it when there is a Wordpress update, and I think
I¹ve taken it down but somehow it still exists. I look forward to other
comments. Cheers, Claudia

Hi,
 
The description of your site that turns up in a Google search spells
"technology" as "technolgy" and "videographers" as "videographiers." I am
not a spelling Nazi or anything, but since this is a business/
professional-oriented website, I thought you would want to know!
 
Have a great summer,
