Update: JohnMu Commented “I just wanted to mention that we have been looking into this. As soon as I have more information, I’ll let you know. It’s great to see you all using Sitemaps!”
A thread over Google Groups reported, Google is not crawling custom domains based on Blogger and Blogspot.
Looks like the last date Google Bot crawled Custom Domains based on blogspot on 30th July 2008.
According to a Webmaster:
Cached on 30 and after that not a single time Googlebot is coming. Everything in my site is fine. My SERP is great. But sudden Googlebot stopped crawling my site, I am not engaged in any activity that is against Google.
I had words with Sunil Gupta of Daily Technology Tips who is facing similar problems, I asked him few questions:
Me: How old is ur website !!
Sunil: 4-5 Months
Me: Do u sell or buy links ?
Sunil: No way, never
Me: Have u ever noticed similar problem in past ?
Sunil: No
Me: Have u made any recent changes in server or domain registrar ?
Sunil: No
Me: Have u noticed some recent fall in traffic or rankings ?
Sunil: No, Decent SERP
Me: Have u checked ur referrals ? Is there any new site sending tons of traffic ?
Sunil: No, only DP, sometimes stumble and yahoo answer.
Looks like there is surely a big problem with Google in Indexing those Custom Domains, I did a research on some more sites excluding those mentioned in the Google Group thread and all of them are facing similar problem … I can’t see any of the post done from those custom domains after July indexed in Google.
If u know any site which is using Custom Domain and is indexed after July then let me know !!

I believe this topic is not new we had discussion about this many times in past, First a post reported by Barry at Seroundtable and later at Google Webmaster Chat, JohnMu said something similar.
However, JohnMu replied on my post and said its nothing like that and Google might consider the point about Case Sensitive SERP’s in future, If it helps users in getting some relevant results.
Looks like the testing is still going on … as a Webmaster reported similar issue at DigitalPoint.
See these below SERP’s:
For Police Watches at Google.co.uk (Click the image to see the full version):

For police watches at Google.co.uk (Click the image to see the full version):

So, can you see police.it running up a down and watchshopuk.com getting additional benefit in below query ?
Note: I’m signed-off from any of the Google product, btw my personalized search is off.
If you have noticed something similar, Then please report the issue to me
It will help in understanding the results more !!

Ben Gomes in his recent post about The Series of Search Quality at Google Blog said:
One of the bigger recent changes has been to extract titles for pages that don’t specify an HTML title — yet a title on the page is clearly right there, staring at you. To “see” that title that the author of the page intended, we analyze the HTML of the page to determine the title that the author probably meant.
Seems like Google is going to add Automatic relevant Title’s according to the content of the page into its search Index.
However, I haven’t seen any page like that yet !! So m unable to comment over this change !! If in case you find something feel free to let me know !!
If Google will do all the Optimization work then what’s the need of a Search Engine Optimizer ?

Sometimes your internal pages have more PR then that of the homepage. Now the Question arise how to findout which page have how much PageRank ? Its nearly impossible to open each and every page if u have a dynamic website.
Okay here is the tool:
http://www.livepr.info/internal-pages-page-rank3.php
Umm .. the bad-side of this tool is .. it works once in 24 hours .. Lol
If you find your luck hard with the above tool then it is recommended to use SEOQuake Plugin and run a Site:YourDomain.Com command at Google, It will show you all the pages with PR, Backlinks of Yahoo + Google and alot of other useful info !!
