Is Google’s Panda Algorithm Creating An Endangered Species?
Occasionally, I find myself connecting with random memories from my childhood that have no reason standing out in my brain. Coincidentally, I remember a movie I saw at age 9 titled The Amazing Panda Adventure.

Bing Webmaster Tools: Configure My Site

Bing isn’t that big in The Netherlands, or Europe, for that matter, but it still holds some ground in the US. The most important reason, however, is we think Bing Webmaster…

Search engines use the hreflang tag to ‘redirect’ the visitor to the page in the right language. Hreflang is also referred to as rel=”alternate” hreflang=”x”. When I was discussing post subjects with our site…

In February 2009, six years to the day from when this is published, Google, Bing and Yahoo! introduced the rel=canonical link element (Matt’s post is probably the easiest reading).
