Webmaster Tools Keyword Rankings Explanation
-
While analyzing the Google Webmaster, I found several keywords that are ranked in the top 10 search results with words such as: they, was, mai, and chiang.
(For example:they)After reviewing the top pages shown under the keyword "they", I did not find the keyword or its variant "them" repeated in the content of the page. I am not sure why "they" is ranking so high and of course, the word "they' is not effective for finding significant content.
Also word such as Chiang Mai are never used separately but the two words are ranking far apart from each other. Mai is ranked at 5 and chiang is ranked at 11. I would think that the rankings would be very close together since the two words are usually used in conjunction with one another.
Can anyone explain the reason this may be happening please?

Can you run those searches in google and get your result to show? I've seen things where images results show in the main SERP but Webmaster Tools is counting as "organic" (not image) but it was an image with a weird/random filename.
I'd try to replicate the result, see what's ranking there (image/webpage etc) and see if there's some weird occurrence of the keywords. But images would be my first guess.

Sudden drop in keyword ranking
Since last Friday (09/28/12) all of my keyword ranking is gone. I checked the webmaster and found, among the others, one error "access denied" "1 error found" "server requires login or is blocking googlebot" Im trying to see if this thing has to do with sudden drop of ranking? I have other sites on the webmaster and none of them is showing this type of error. Help will be appreciated. When I check individual urls they are there (indexed).

Any Tool Suggestions for Sharing Bookmarks in a small group?
Hi, We have a small group of co-workers, and we are constantly firing round emails of great articles we have found, new websites to read etc etc. Emails are just very cumbersome and get lost, so I am wondering if people can suggest any tools which would be good for creating a "work board" where we can quickly mark and comment on articles/websites each of us finds and it gets posted across other peoples boards. It needs to be fast, user friendly, allow grouping by topics, visually appealing (and ideally allow you to mark of when you have read something). Anyone have an suggestions as to a tool that would be similar to this? Thanks
