  Do seo meta tags work or has rel=nofollow killed them.

  overlima.com Using rel nofollow is a great way to control the passing of page rank between pages. But its also very good at increasing your ranking in the Google by preventing an infinity loop. Back in 2005, or there abouts, Google introduced a new html tag to its arsenal of tools to try and combat spam. At that time there was a growing amount of blog comment spam and blog and ping tactics to bring link love from blog site to their own site.

  Does NoFollow Matter Anymore?

  For the past several years, the rel="nofollow" attribute of the A tag for hyperlinking has been a powerful tool in preserving Page Rank and Search Engine Optimization strategy. These days, there are questions on whether or not this attribute does what it says: NoFollow! Through my own experimenting and experience as an SEO expert, it really doesn't matter. I do know it worked in the past and my current strategies that involve adding simple 14 character addition to specific outbound links is too easy to ignore (and my SEO is still highly successful!). If not indexing your own pages is a major concern, I would rely on a robots meta tag and not this. If creating a dynamically SEO'ed website is your objective, though, sticking with the nofollow attribute is still your best bet (the price is almost zero but the rewards can possibly be HUGE!)

  Yahoo Search New UI, Google AdWords Keyword Tool & AdSense

  www.seroundtable.com - Yahoo launched a new search interface along with a brand campaign. Google AdWords is testing a new keyword tool, which is extremely advanced compared to the current one. AdWords advertisers were hit with a "low share of voice" notice. Google has confirmed new AdSense arrows and I see them. Some AdSense publishers are unable to login to their accounts. Did you know, Google doesn't use meta keywords? Did you see the new deeper Sitelinks with data formats? Google launched Sidewiki, which lets you comment on other sites, directly on those sites. Yea, there is a weird way to block it. Google Maps launched Place Pages. Referrer spam can't hurt your Google rankings. Should you nofollow your affiliate links? Bing's adCenter is to try favicons in ads. Google's flying saucer logo leads to HG Wells. Finally, we posted our SMX East coverage schedule, see you there in about a week.

  Tons Of Google Changes, BingBot Coming & China vs Google

  www.SERoundtable.com - There is tons of important stuff taking place this week in the SEO space, so I ran through as much of it as I could in a short period of time. First, Google did their second PageRank update in a single month. Google also updated their image search algorithm and filter. Google Webmaster Tools is showing a lot more linkage data due to Caffeine. They also now allow a single Sitemap file for all content types. But some of the news sites in Google Webmaster Tools are slow to show new data. Google is mixing up 301 and 302 redirects. Google killed the IE output, killing Scroogle. GoogleBot is slow and fast, acting very sporadic these days. Don't use the meta refresh redirect said Google. Matt Cutts says never use the nofollow for internal links. BingBot is replacing MSNBot on October 1. Bing releases more advanced search operators. AdWords related ads can infringe on trademarks. BP got away with AdWords display URL violation. AdWords now shows merchant ratings in some cases. Google News was redesigned, many users hate it but Google will keep it. China and Google go at it again, I think Google did something lame. Google bought ITA and hopes to take over the travel industry. Happy Canada Day to our Canadian users and we showed off another Doodle this week. That was this past week's news at the Search Engine Roundtable.
