Google – Yahoo Ad Deal Ends

Friday, November 7th, 2008

As we all know that Google and Yahoo ad Deal was delayed last month, Looks like an end of the Google – Yahoo advertising era, Google officially announced about Ending of there agreement with Yahoo!!

Looks like google and yahoo was not happy with the government’s involvement in reviewing the agreement. Also, some advertisers were having problems with this deal. Instead of pursuing a legal battle, Google and Yahoo decided to part ways, which is unfortunate for those who really wanted this to happen.

Alexa Ignores ‘noarchive’ Tag ?

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

I was upset about this when saw a post from tammer at seroundtable, Looks like Alexa is only bothered about Robots.txt not about MetaTags.

If you are facing similar problem about your ‘noarchive’ pages getting indexed at alexa then you have to contact them directly.

I think they have to respect directives in the HTML files themselves instead of asking webmasters to contact them.
