I would expect them to largely agree because my understanding is that they all are sending HTTP requests and not using Google Instant. This could be a "Good Enough" method for a small number keywords provided you are verifying the accuracy of the results you are getting. I was in the same school...

This was originally a reply in another thread regarding rankings but I though it would be a good topic of its own. NOTE: Please take this with a grain of salt... SEO and business are arts not sciences. This is just my OCD perspective on the issues. The original question: How to check...

It is more tricky these days... If you don't capture the serps in a rendered browser view that supports javascript and cookies then what you will see is the legacy accessibility view SERPs which are different than the google instant SERPs. If you want to know what most of the world is seeing...

Not a service. Just a site I managed for 7 years. I wanted to see what 1 really big back link would actually do for a PR 0. Just turned out the a PR8 could yield a PR3. Was actually about 2 years ago now that I think about it, but probably about the same today plus or minus 20% for all practical...

That's not true. Moved Permanently redirects are allowed. They only transfer part of the PR because google has to do something to keep them from being over used all the time. You won't get banned for proper redirecting. Just expect slightly less PR from the original domain's backlinks. I just...

I think this is another example supporting the theory that website age lessens penalty amount. It fits the description pretty well with what I have seen. What is shocking is that up until about the Caffeine update it has only taken about 10 months for penalties to roll off. Two years would...

No. Last year I used a link from a PR8 page footer to a PR0 website with age. It jumped to PR3. It would take several orders of magnitude more links to produce the kinds of results you are asking about.

UPDATE: 42 hours after website submission 25 hours after Googlebot's first visit Progress towards a complete crawl: 3293 / 3650 or 90% Only 15 Visits in the last hour Only 14 Visits in the hour before last Only 17 Visits in the hour before that Only 15 Visits in the hour before that...

There is a LOT of grey between black and white even with on page SEO... for example... blatant keyword stuffing like pinkribbonshop.com which ranks #2 for Pink Ribbon. Google has always been vocally against this SEO practice,which ethically falls within "free speech" of the website owner. Is it...

Matt Cutts is "Cancer Man" from the X-files. His job is 90% plausible deniability to keep reverse engineers guessing about the algorithm. He has been caught in so many cases of misinformation and half truths I don't know why anybody listens to him anymore. Let there be no doubt that if google...

This isn't new information, but it is recent evidence that re-confirms older understandings and for myself it revives some old ideas to look at again. The history: I set up an in-house click logging system for some traffic generation projects I have going on. I decided to manually submit...

Non-issue in my opinion, and I pretty openly dislike Google. It is just for people signed in with an SSL session. So to be effected the searchers have to long in and be opted in for SSL. You can use the Analytics API to look these up. It just means all those SEO tracking programs need to have...

Just a rumor. I keep reading that it works, but I have not personally seen it work... Add an AdSense ad block to every page. The theory is that the early Panda releases nuked a ton of context ad placements and search partner sites. Without all that ad inventory, Google took a big hit in PPC...

You are describing Link Juice... unfortunately it isn't as potent as it used to be. Before the Caffeine update you could link "Home Page > Category Page > Product Page" and see benefit all the way down to the product pages. Very little "link juice" gets to product pages now. The sites that tend...

Greywolf is correct, although his choice of wording could have been better. :) Mixing an SEO concept with SEO advice is often confusing as well. I think a better way of stating what I think GreyWolf is saying would be: My Disclaimer. (Not GreyWolf's) There are exceptions to this concept...
