Google Update Bourbon Part 3

My whole site has a new cache date of May 25th. Maybe once these other sites around me get recached, I won't hold such an honorable top position. But at least Google has found my pages worthy to sit in the Search again.:) It seems strange to look at the stats and see Google in there, after 6 months of just seeing Yahoo and MSN referrals.

My website has plenty of outbound links, but they are on relevant pages. The problem my site has always had, was a lack of "inbound links." I got tired of searching for people to link to me (with all the spammy sites around) and gave up. So my pages have acquired some links naturally I guess(and I'll bet I still don't have more than 30 inbound links for the whole site) Still have a PR4, which I've had since it disappeared in Nov.

I don't know if I mentioned it clint...

Most of the time JS will not validate if it is copy/paste from a vendor

[fjpapaleo]

It's best to use an external js when possible. I doubt this is the problem for most people however.

Stopped reading here.

The wrong thing to do is to start thinking about doing a 301 to resolve the non www

When you convince Yahoo!, Microsoft, Apple, WalMart, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc. that they should not resolve to www I will remove mine and read the rest of your post, until then...

Next time, please start a new thread so I can either skip or reply more thoroughly, without going too far off topic.

I agree with Japanese. at least the 75% I understood. :)

You sound combative. The post I made referred to the problems of a frustrated webmaster, not you.

I could not give a damn whether you do a 301 of a 69.

Being a very fast reader I just about noticed your exigent post and belligerent remarks.

I thought this forum was about helping each other.

[Dayo_UK]

Not sure that advising against a 301 from non-www to www is helping anyone.

and I am a frustrated webmaster ;) (slightly)

[cyberfyber]

Just to throw this into the mix:

I finally got around to initiating the 301 redirect the other day after discovering (weeks ago) hundreds of my pages in the SERPs as WWW and NON-WWW.

Anyhow, thereafter I contacted Google and they explicitly told me that I'd had no penalties for my site whatsoever....or so they say.

Perhaps Google now wants us to do the updates for them

[google.com...]

Looking into my crystal ball I forsee another long thread...

activeco,
Not knowing about googles motives is being naive. Are you afraid of airing your view?

Japanese, I am 44 yo and still very rebellious, usually going against the stream.
But surely enough, not without a reason. I have expressed my view, I don't think they manipulate serps for financial reasons. That's it.

I don't support them unconditionally, their algo's still have IMO, a tendency to prefer big guys (but I attribute it to probable Hilltop usage for very competitive terms) and I always claimed they have senseless discriminatory policy in their Adsense EPC distribution.

Bottom line: talk about it = off topic? No, it is very on topic.
Bad guys? Still not.
