Google Responsible for Own Server Clog

As has been the case for over a year now, Google has a severe issue with duplicate caching. Google has yet to fully understand that www.domainname.com is identical to domainname.com and will readily index both. Google will also index a /index.html and a / version of the same page. And, if the web.domainname.com subdomain is available, it will cache it as well. I personally have cleaned up sites with 3-6x caches of each page in google, resulting in 100,000+ duplicates being cached. If Google would fix this one problem, it would clear up a huge amount of space. No tags for this post.

A publisher id in the meta description plus a noindex, nocache, nofollow tag would result in a removal. I believe the members of Syndk8 alone could free up 1 of Google’s massive servers.

Has PageRank Completely Diverged From Indexing?

I noticed something today which I had heard vaguely in the past as occurring but no hard evidence was ever presented: A banned site with PR. Some of you may be rolling your eyes and saying â€Å”oldnews.com” but for those of you still with me read on, I think it deserves some analysis. This is especially true for those of you still clinging to traditional SEO. This means you link builders. My hypothesis: PageRank has nothing to do with SERPS Example: There is a site out there that I know has been banned by Google. This site was submitted for a re-inclusion and has, to this point, been denied. The ban occurred as all others have in the past. Pages vanished from the index and the PR flat-lined. After several months of zero progress a...
