That doesn't put you in box... Ever wondered why your website shows up in Google in the first page on your pc but not on others? And ever wondered why different people get different results for the same search terms?

This explains it in a simple cartoon style format, and offers you the option of a beautifully simple unbiased search engine, too, I really like it, and am happy to use it alongside google. You can change the setting to give more onus to Great Britain rather than the USA, and other options, too. :thumbsup:

G I agree Google is becoming somewhat a pain in the arse with it's 'new and improved' search results but the fact remains it is still the largest search engine for now. I'm guessing you've become pee'd off because you can't check your own SEO search terms, even when 'logging out' it still shows biased results. But have you tried the
Code:
@pws
tag after your search?

This is a search term that returns results as if you were a complete new fresh user (i.e. one of your customers) take this search term and copy 'n' paste into your browser http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mosaic+artists+yorkshire&pws=0 it returns 'organic' results as if you'd never serched for that tern before, or shared a link via google+ etc.... Have a look at the url i've just posted and you can easily break it down.

here are the parts:

Code:
www.google.co.uk/
clearly the Google UK
Code:
search?q=
search query equals
Code:
mosaic+artists+yorkshire
this is the bit you would normally enter into the search bar in google, but the URL for this adds the '+' sign inbetween to ensure you get all of the keywords
Code:
&pws=0
This last bit of code tells google to ignore all prefrences of the user and return search results as it would do if it was the first time a user searched for that term


So by changing the middle part of the URL i.e.
Code:
mosaic+artists+yorkshire
to what ever you want... lets say
Code:
tilers+durham
that would give us the unbiased results for 'Tilers in Durham' tilers durham - Google Search which we see some dodgy tiler named Dave Howe is killing it at number one.

Make sense???? I hope ;)

To be fair I don't mind local link up half as much as i do with the rest of them but I would strongly advise you to tell them to jog on! it's a waste of money. If you have £25 to spend a month on a site and SEO then I would strongly advise you to get in touch with Dan to point you in the right direction. If fact ask Mosaic Girl above what it's done for her site and you won't go far wrong. Local link up or any of these people that ring you up touting for business are not 'Real' SEO firms but doing minmal amouts of work for maximum return. Much better going to a 'local' specialist who will listen and understand your business rather than somebody who plays the numbers game ;)

Haha, I actually knew about that code, well a little, and had tried it a couple of times, but thanks anyhow, a good reminder. No, I have set google to not keep my search history, firefox also, and still the position of say hubby's site and mine is different from different computers/users, and also when I googled, for example, Egypt news I don't get anywhere near as good links as I do with the duck one, I noticed, the duck one pushed forward actual Egyptian newspapers, independent ones published in English, and it just seems less biased towards commerce and sponsored ads in general, kind of gives you a break. As it's tucked nicely with the other search engines in my toolbar, as a default, it's quick and easy to use, too. :)

G you are scaring me with your SEO uptake. You seem too have grasped Google+ much quicker than I have, you're smashing Twitter and now you telling me you knew about &pws=0

Ok here's another little tip for you... check out Seomoz.com especially the 'Mozbar' plugin for FF, if you already know about that them i'm out!

Nope, No idea what you're talking about there :lol: but I will look! and the SEO uptake is down to Dan, not me, bless his cotton socks :)

BUT, I edited the CSS style sheet today to change the fontsize and colour in the sidebar of my chosen theme, so was well chuffed with that :hurray: Twitter is easy, you just got to think laterally and spread yourself about a bit and be nice, easy peasy... :) google+ I am starting to like best of all, because it allows you to talk differently to different groups of people or individuals (all of which is personal choice) and it opens up your horizons to other people you would not otherwise get in contact with, so it's mind expanding and educational on many levels - there are some amazing photographers on there because of the brilliant photo software, and lots of people who are at the forefront of and partly involved with google development, as well as firefox and social networking developments, very good. Not so good for fun or online warmth yet, but for that I have TF :lol:
