Second Life

I’ve never seen anything on this but if you know about this disregard.

I have two similar sites content wise, and are roughly the same domains (one is pluralized form of the other) I noticed that one of the sites has weird stuff indexed (ie feedlinks, wp login page etc.) and seems to be neglected by google while the other one seems to be indexing fine.

I had a hunch because of how one was being indexed it may have something to do with theme I was using.

If you use firefox and the web developer plugin you can disable styles and see the page as a spider would.

Sure enough when I compared the two themes (without css styling as the spiders see it), one (the neglected one) was displaying all the menu stuff up top, while the other one had the content (ie posts) up top and all the menu stuff at the bottom.

To see the two example themes:

the theme with with menu stuff up top was juice 2.0 from themes.wordpress.net

the other theme was unsleepable from the same site. If you have the firefox plugin to disable css, just do “test run” on both themes and disable styles right on the test site.

Theme designers, you should check out your templates to see how the content is really displaying.

On a side not if you interested in blog advertising or buying text links on thousands of sites for one low flat price check out Bliggo and Phrase Links
They are invite only systems but I have been in private beat for nearly a year now, and have tremendous results with them.

Blog advertising

I have been using a “buy text link ads” type advertising system called Phrase Links for awhile now (I was in private beta).

Phrase Links enables you to purchase any keyword or phrase and link it to your site, product, etc. The difference between Phrase Links and other text link buying services is that you buy the text link ads across thousands of sites (including this one) for one low flat rate price. It’s a great way to get a lot of relevant links back because the system is completely organic and only links from relevant articles.

Check them out at Phrase Links Request an invite, and even though their private blog says launch is any day the invite system is likely to be the only way to get in early.
