Affiliate Marketing Strategy

Here’s a 17 minute video interview with Vanessa Fox, a Google project manager. Ms. Fox talks about, Google Sitemaps, Pagerank, duplicate content and lots more.

Here’s some interesting points that were made:

Duplicate Content

There is NO duplicate content penality! If multiple pages have very similar or identical content only one will be indexed.

Google Sitemaps

• Using Google Sitemaps Does NOT affect rankings – it only helps Google find all of your sites pages.
• Additional meta data is optional – if you want to use it Ms. Fox suggested that “last modified” or “Change Frequency” are the attributes most useful to Google. Again, this is important for crawling frequency NOT ranking.
• Sitemaps is very important when site is new and for dynamic sites.

Page rank

• Webmaster tools – pagerank is more up to date then toolbar pagarank –people spend too much time worrying about toolbar page rank.
• Get links from relevant pages – don’t worry about pagerank – you’ll probably get more visitors and traffic.
