Avoiding Duplicate Title Tags on Pager Pages in Drupal
Posted: Wed 08/13/2008 by ramiroGoogle Webmaster Tools includes a tool called content analysis that you find in the Diagnostics section. The content analysis tool reported a suboptimal number of duplicate title tags and meta descriptions for some Drupal sites that I monitor with these tools.
Getting rid of duplicate title tags and meta descriptions caused by the pager is actually quite simple. When using the Meta Tags module with the setting ALL=INDEX,FOLLOW for Default robots meta tag: you can adjust the robots Meta tag in your theme, so that pages that contain the page parameter in the URL are not indexed using the following code snippet in the head section of your page.tpl.php template file.
Again a Google Toolbar PageRank Update!?
Posted: Sat 01/12/2008 by ramiroIt looks like Google updated the toolbar PageRank again. The Search Status Firefox extensions just informed me about that. Two of my sites, including SEO Expert Blog, each lost one point. Additionally, I tried some free online SEO tools to check what they tell me, but none of them returned any data on PageRank, so I assume that Search Status tells the truth.
The Google toolbar could help here, but I really don't want to install that Google spyware extension. Anyway, as long as the traffic that comes from the big G does not decrease, I don't give a toss about it. Even if it decreases, I won't let Google dictate how I build my websites.

Google recently penalized link networks and web sites that sell or buy links by decreasing their PageRanks. To be more precise: sites that sell or buy links on their own or via link brokers such as Text Link Ads.

To get rid of Google's own ugly paid link advertising, that often points to useless spammy looking sites you can use the following methods discussed in this article:
Who is sarkozy? Blair, Chirac, or Bush?
