Author: IDGLabs15 May
Robots meta tag basics
The robots meta tag is a part of a web page that communicates information to search engine robots. The robots meta tag is written within the <head> of an HTML file and looks something like this:
Tags: adding, age, engine, Google, IDE, image, indexing, list, page, ping, search, Search Engines, SEF, SEO, Sites, Yahoo<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow, noodp, noydir, nosnippet “>
Firefox plug-in personalises search results
Author: IDGLabs15 May
SurfCanyon is a Firefox plug-in that claims mind reading capabilities. Even though there’s no actual magic involved, this nifty little app does a great job of digging though the search results for the hits you need, even though Google buried them on page 12.
SurfCanyon accelerates the search process by re-ranking the search results based on your behaviour. This way, the browser extension applies a layer of real-time implicit personalization. The software is transforming static lists of links into dynamic search results pages that work with the you as you explore the search results.

Author: IDGLabs15 May
Google’s poor link: query operator has taken a huge beating from the SEO community for the past few years. The query operator’s reputation has been dragged through the mud so much that most people now use Yahoo! for link research (which is equivalent to asking Monaco to handle your national intelligence initiatives).

Friend Connect, while much anticipated by myself and everybody else arrives today, a day late, you get an error when you sign up and all they have to show for this is a YouTube video. This is at 6:14 Arizona, USA time. Don’t hate on me if it works later in the day.
It looks a little better than the MyBlogLog clone I expected and they do not seem to be out to take traffic from existing social hubs.

Top Online Retailers Not Showing Up in Google!
Author: IDGLabs15 May
What?!! It’s true. Many of the biggest and most popular online retailers with fat SEO budgets are not showing up for their own names or valuable keywords in Google search results. Most don’t even know it. How can this be?
All the major search engines offer a .com search engine and a number of country-specific engines, like Google.ca, .co.uk, .com.au, .fr, .de and so on. These are local search engines, and often use geo-IP targeting to show the local search engine as the default when a searcher lives outside the United States.
