Search Engine Optimization

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

One (1) of seven (7) tips (Pasted below) FROM Helen @ http://valashiya.blogspot.com

1) Perhaps the most important thing is the canonical link tag. The canonical link tag represents an absolute path that you would like to represent your page in a search engines index to reduce redundant indexing. This is supported by MSN, Yahoo, and Google. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/canonical-link-tag/

WHAT IS – canonical-Link-Tag? – It is a ‘tag’ – that tells search engines what the preferred location of this url is. + + + So how do I place that tag into my blog? – Bloody hell, Ill be here all day, and I need to go xmas shopping, and grocery shopping, or I might starve.

OK – The first two paragraphs spell it out nice and QUICK, … And there is lots more detail for those that need it. AUTHOR; Matt Cutts ~ Google Engineer -DATED;  Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009

FIXING BROKEN LINKs: (At url – http://tellurium.wordpress.com/)

Links pointing to GRD/blog – that I have some control over (Can be fixed) – forget very quickly just how much work (time and effort) goes into putting all these post up in the first place.

THIS; Become a way to get google to ‘Re-Crawl’ GRD/blog, and maybe (Just maybe), .. that might be resolved quicker – REFERENCE permalink post titled ‘Opps, – What NOT to do’

AND-THEN; Fixed the capitol ‘B’ problem – see post – /blog/?p=1227 – below

TWO – POSTs – detailing the problem – with having an UPPER-CASE  “B” – in the path name of your *URL* – Having an uppercase “B” – is a problem, IF handing out business cards with that url, which inturn generates “404 – Not found” error message.

Now I have three posts (Including this one) – detailing what has happened, and why – ..

Found an interesting tutorial on electronic principles and fundamentals, .. on the surface,  it looks very nice, (Well presented), .. An seems to have a lot of good content (Technically-Acurate), .. at url -Basic Analog Circuits  – and – “Ohm’s Law and Basic Analog Circuit Concepts”

Being – interested in this stuff – (In particular “Ohms Law” I have a recent history, and the presentation could be inproved greatly with a simple diagram, or MORE (imho).

GOOGLED – Ohms Law

OhmsLawSummary

NOTE; The voltage in the example remains at 1 volt.

The relationship of current to the applied voltage and the circuit resistance is shown here.
Where (a) is the reference; -

IF the resistance is doubled from 1 to 2 ohms, the current will halve (b),

IF the resistance is cut in half, the current doubles (c)
