Hey guyz,
I want to ask a basic question.If I search for Larry Page lets say.
I think google look for it's index for word larry and page distinct.
And mix it up.But the question ;
Can google show a result which only Larry exist on the page but any of the synonym or the stem of the Page not exist .
If it can happen how this page can be showned in larry page query.Thank you.

Google trys to connect every term and combination of terms within a query to a search query entity. It relates the terms and the entities with a probabilistic model in order to define how closely connected they are.
Regarding now the webpage of centerofpolitics it is not in the first 200 results of Google.com (US).
Probably, due to the 10 occurences of the word larry in the html of the webpage (some on title, some in body, some in links) Google has a loose connection with the word "Larry" of the "Larry Page" search query.
Since, "Larry Page" as an entity is an authority for Google, the webpage of centerofpolitics should be a result ranked low in a search query that matches exactly the name of the entity such as "Larry Page" or "Page Larry".

In your example, what position did this result appear and I going to assume to did this as a 'non personalised search'?

301 redirect not working
Hi there! I have recently moved a domain that has been indexed by google and setup redirects so that it forwards to the new domain. It seems like the only redirect that actually is working is the canonical and main domain but every other page and or page nested within a folder are not working. Here is an example of some of the redirects. Am I doing this wrong? It seems to be going to the new domain but can't find the actual pages.... RewriteEngine On

No improvement from Google penalty despite a lot of work
Hi Everyone, i hope someone can help. Our site www.danbro.co.uk suddenly dropped across all keyphrases and even our brand name on 12th April. We receieved a notification of unnatural link building and so the problem was obvious. Since then we have removed a number of old blog links, forum links that we have built up over a number of years. Once removed we sent a reconsideration. There are still a number of links we are trying (but sometimes to no avail) to remove. It is quite frustrating as we do have a number of high quality links on really relevant sites and we do update our content on a regular basis. Does anyone have any other solutions of what we can be doing? changing the domain name is not an option as it is the brand name. any help is much appreciated

Frustration With Google Places
I have been trying to solve this problem with Google Places for quite some time now and just can't figure out where to go from here. I've tried several sent messages explaining the problem and even received several phone calls from Google Places trying to correct the issue with no luck. I have even tried totally deleting the listing and started over from scratch and re-verified the address with a mailed postcard. My site: http://www.captainrichsmith.com has a Google Places account set up and verified http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&georestrict=input_srcid:1c8fa43cf77e0c93&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=14&vpsrc=0 For some reason when you do a Google search for one of my keywords Miami Fishing Charters On the listings normally under the letter "E" on the Map another website has a placemark at my location Miami Fishing Charters Directory
