Curious meta-tag
-
Has anyone met this meta tag?
<meta name="ranking" content="Top10, Page=1" />
I imagine it has no effect but I'm curios where did it came from, i saw it on many sites
-
It's not april 1st so what's going on.
<meta name="pagerank" var="11" />
-
Yes, i know, i made the inquiry.
The curios fact is that a site with duplicate content issues and pr 3 outranks a pr 7 website for the main keyword targeted. (full domain match for both of them)
-
There was an inquiry about that site just yesterday. The site has significant issues such as it is duplicated with a www and non-www version.
-
www.comunicatedepresa.net is one of them
you can find others by a simple google search:)

I actually thought I made it up! I never actually seen anyone use it.
I have seen people use meta tags which were not valid for Google (to say the least) or people who were convinced the meta keywords tag had value. I very sarcastically advised a similar meta tag to the one you are displaying.
You've seen it on many sites? I would think the same person worked on all those sites. It is hard to imagine multiple people using that tag.

haha we wish that were a real tag!

Category page canonical tag
I know this question has been asked a few times on here but I'm looking for very specific advice. Currently when you go to a category, say http://www.bronterose.co.uk/range.html, a canonical tag is added to the head of the page. There are plenty of "variant" pages which carry the same tag, for example: /range.html?p=2

/range.html?p=3
/range.html?dir=asc&order=price
/range.html?dir=asc&limit=all&order=price Is it wise to push the "link juice" for each of these variant pages to the top level page? Or should each variant page have its own unique canonical tag? After reading many blog posts, guides and papers I'm truly confused! Any general guidance or recommendations would be much appreciated. Chris.1 -

Does keyword at the very front of meta description have impact?
I know that it is important to have your primary keyword target as the first word or two words of your title tag. But what about your meta description tag? does it matter where they keyword is in the description tag? I see a lot of other sites stuffing their keywords right at the front of the description tag and it looks somewhat unnatural. What's your take? do you put the primary keyword as the first word or two words of your description tag?

Does it matter what text you wrap in an H1 tag?
Typically H1 tags are reserved for page headings, i.e. on a blog post the blog post title is very often the pages H1, or top-level heading as the W3C puts it. On the SEOmoz home page they currently have "SEO Software." as their H1 tag, which seems perfectly reasonable and to me fits the W3C criteria. However, what if the primary keyword for SEOmoz was "seo community" so they decided to wrap just those two words in the sentence that follows on their home page and maintain the existing style of the words "seo community" with CSS. (see attachment) Are there any arguments against doing that? Would Google be able to detect this? If so, would Google care? I do believe the overall importance of the H1 tag has lessened to a degree, however I still believe they are valuable to an extent and would love to hear anyone's thoughts. 7NZcD.png

Meta Description Tags and Rankings
Hi there, I have a lot of pages set up on my site but most have no content. If I add the correct meta description tags to those pages, will that help rank for the root domain? I am slowly getting the content added for each page but wanted to see if I could boost rankings in the meantime. http://www.petmedicalcenter.com Example: most of pages under "Services" are blank. Thanks for the help!
