Google SEO News and Discussion Forum

People talk nonsense about PR because they aren't willing to take the time learn about it and study. They'd rather buy into whatever fairy tales are currently being talked up.

You might be doing better overall with all the link juice going to one "canonical" set of urls.

Duplicate content can divide your inbound link vote. Some sites may link to one url of a page, some to another. Eventually, Google is likely to drop one of urls, and you will have wasted a bunch of link juice.

you can solve your http to https dupe issue with a nifty 301 redirect like:

I dont post here much but I am fairly active in the idustry twiddling the SEO knobs on my sites.

Recently my blog which pro had PR 3-4 has got grey barred. Its a bit spammy, but it is all orginal content that i use to profile new product my company releases along with case studies etc.

When I last made a post I noticed i had a GRAY BAR - weird I thght. Then I noticed I had a JS error. The site is on BLOGGER. On investigation I have found out that BLOGGER has inserted some code that is giving JS error on the blogger blgos (some of). It made me think, ... is this error relative to my GRAY BAR.

Genuinely I doubt it. But I have played with the removal of the code, via commenting out some <blogger> div or similar.

Commenting out the code rids me of the JS error. It also has another unusual effect in MSIE. What I have found that on MSIE, google toolbar will now show PAGE RANK on my GRAY BAR blog. But hte toolbar PR is in fact the PR from the page that I arrived at the BLOG from. This is just a bug I guess. But its not one I have seen before. And not one that I have been able to control.

All these factors have added up to make me think there is a connection between my grey barring, the blooger inserted code... and all things sinister.

Here is the buggy code

Here is the exact code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.example.com/static/v1/common/js/123456-csitaillib.js"></script>
<script>if (typeof(window.attachCsiOnload) != 'undefined' && window.attachCsiOnload != null) { window.attachCsiOnload('ext_blogspot'); }</script>

I wonder - if GOOGLE have used this on the BLOGGER blogs to detect what they think are spam blogs - SINCE it seems to be about STATS.

And that wld explain my GRAY BAR (i think)

OK guys i hope that is food for some thought. Over and out.

A very funny bug, too.
