a google search would have informed that these are names given to search bot algorithm updates
search bots change, what was 'grey' SEO today, is black tomorrow,
the algorithm does not provide a penalty,
how your site responds to the bot operating under the algorithm determines whether there is a penalty
the benefit is always the same from grey SEO, temporary enhanced SEresults
the penalty is always the same from grey SEO, delisted from SEresults
the benefit is temporary, the penalty is permanent

This would be a good time to get a google webmaster tools account, and have them that makes the rules tell you personally where or if, you break the rules, and how to generally improve SER without breaking the rules

Re: what are sitewide links

place <meta name="author" content="me"> where me is of course you, in the <head>, we are all using php asp etc so this is only a single edit
If the authors of abc and xyz match bots do not consider the sitelinks to be external, eg KFC and TacoBell links

left over from google's, now ended, rel=author google+ experiment

it also matters how the link is generated, a sidebar automa bla bla blah,,,,,
read Kelly's link, its better

Re: content markiting

Place the article, solely in relevant forums where it is a correct response to a question posed
There are not many of those, so the total number is not significant
If the artice is good enough to be reposted by somebody else it will have SE merit, otherwise it has almost zero value
EVERY post made by you about your site with your link, has almost zero value, the bot algorithms are intuitive and discount "me" posts
a single repost of your article by somebody else, is SE gold >>> the article has to be good enough to be reposted

News articles, posted by the subject, when theya re reasonable, get picked up by every station, paper, radio
they justs have to be good, (or sleazy enough)

Re: using php with html & css

php has multiple formats for echoing out plain html in single lines, up to book-amounts of text

heredoc or nowdoc format can do pretty much what you want

if(condition) echo <<<endofmultiquotedhtml
this is some huge block of static html
endofmultiquotedhtml;
elseif(condition) echo <<<somethingelse
<input type="doublequoted">'singlequoted'
and carriage returns
and $php_variables
any amount of html code
and any amount of more lines
all kindds of stuff
more stuff
"stuff"
'stuff'
\x41 (capital A)
somethingelse;

php strings heredoc
nowdoc continues under heredoc in the linked page

Re: .php or .html?

I agree with you, jkon, a perceived benefit, not a real benefit,
I have logs back to 99, transferred server logs from one pc to another as the pc got replaced,
working backwards its not hard to trace bot algorithm changes by page hits (1)
there was more rapid indexing of static pages, until Sep 2002,
since 2005 indexing speed, and depth, have equalled regardless of pagetype
extra processing needed to display static html pages from php asp jsp is not needed
make generated uri display in friendly form, definitely worth it

note(1) 20/20 hindsight, would be great to have 20/20 foresight

Re: .php or .html?

The point is im in one Team project, and one of our member he suggested to files be renamed with .html, so in mind i come confuse, why he suggested files with this extension.

the delay added to every html file by the directive 'addhandler server-parsed' to get php files to function when renamed,
far exceeds the non-existent SEO benefit,
ditto jkon above: there was a perceived benefit to serving html, multiple generations/iterations of SEbot ago, back in the 00s

Re: Allow data transfer only through AJAX, never direct.

Re: Improving website score

SE do not approve or disapprove anything,
SE index everything they find.
The depth that search engines use the index of your site in responses, solely depends on your site content
If your site is crap: of poor content, inaccurate or unoriginal; it will be fullly indexed, but never returned in searches.
Content is King; content good enough that other sites link to yours

No keywords
No posting of Signature links,
no link exchanges,
no bought links, all of which are done by you

will accomplish as much as a single genuine link, done by someone else

Re: How to make a clear sense on Link-Building and Link Earning ?

Link earning is, a relatively newly coined term in the SE chatsphere, to differentiate between
making zero value blog posts, and,
epic content that is engaging enough and which make people to naturally link to it. (Ⓒ Ashley_8)

content is king,
blog links approach zero in value
funny .gifs, memes, zero value if the site is about anything else but humour
content & intent of the site need be related

Re: which one is good national Seo or local Seo

Do not buy backlinks, link farms are SEsuicide.

Keywords may downgrade, if they do not match content as determined by SEbots

1. get google webmaster tools account
2. follow personalised instructions from google webmaster tools
3. ignore all opinions of anyone who is not google

Re: Are there any advantages in using ASP.net over PHP?

This question has been asked often
The answer always comes down to: the answers above; The one that works,

PHP is a V.large base of small users, and some outstanding large users, a lot of GNU code, a lot of re-useable code
ASP is a smaller base of very large users, many of whom already are locked in to maintainence contracts, others who have entire departments to support their code, a lot of proprietary code, and is harder to break in

Re: Which one is more important either Keyword or Brand?

Key words are SE insignificant, have been for multiple generations of SEAlgorithm, bots index entire content,
none of the top 10, top 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000 etc, companies have keywords in their sitename, all have their name as their sitename,
BRAND is good (Greed is good get out Gordon)
When you google a random search term, none of the top ten results for the search term will be from "search term".com
When you search for a brand specific term, you get "brand".com
"keyword" websites are often spam sites, the content does not match the keyword
"lorem ipsum bullshit garbage download my virus ridden spyware no this is genuine Microsoft freeware garbage bullshit ipsum lorem"

Get a google webmaster tools account, follow the personalised instructions for your website, again ignore any ideas that don't match, no matter who they come from

Content is king, nothing else matters

any uri that is readable will be indexed
logical structured uri make it easier for people, and faster to index

the language(s) the site is written in, English
the OS underlying the language, English
English rules the computer world, the blokes who began it spoke English, and its easier to keep

content languages will be indexed, in that language as long as header/directive referencing the language is correct, or if the language is unique enough that the bot can determine it from structure
If there is no language directive, other languages may be determined by SEBots to be misspelled English
