Overview:
Google provides search services to large portal sites such as Yahoo.com and dozens of smaller sites. Google is a 100% FREE search engine. They have also built a large scale search service at their home namesake: google.com and namesake tlds around the planet.
Posting Topics:
News and topics related to Google search services world wide. That includes getting your site listed as well as using Google search services effectively.
Off Topic:
SPAM reporting issues.
If you have spam to report, please report it to Google. We are not the Google spam reporting system or the place to "shop the competition" knowing that Google techs may read it. Posting someone elses url is no different than violating them by posting their name and address. That includes posting of Google search terms.
For that same reason: please No site review requests or site review questions for Google techs.
For spam reporting, use searchquality@google.com. Be very brief in your email with Google. Report both the actual search keywords and explain the problem briefly.
Please remember this forum is frequented by many of the top SEO professionals and is the oldest established Google forum on the internet. Before posting the first time, please take time to read back through some of the threads and get a feel for the level we are at here.
We welcome all questions, but please remember that SEO is a fluid profession. Techniques and tactics are always changing. Hard and fast rules are in short supply. There are only educated opinions. Often, you'll find those opinions can run counter to one another.
No Tools sites or urls please The explosion of Google related free and commercial site tools has opened a flood gate of url dropping to "tools" sites. Therefore, we request you don't post links to "Google tools" (there are dozens if not hundreds of them now as a result of the Google API).
Politics and Religion
We have people from all over the world. Different systems of government and various religions. Please leave the political and religious discussions for elsewhere.
Thanks:
To Google.com for building such a great search engine, and thank you for all the referrals!
