Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Keri for the helpful resource. I actually ended up doing all of those things for our client. Also, I found out that the default Drupal 6 robot.txt file, does not allow the search engines to index pdf's, images, and flash. Therefore, one must eliminate the disallow: /sites/ from the Robot.txt file.

Thank you iNet SEO, Excellent resource...

I was also wondering if anyone had any posts / experience with understanding the indexing and ranking of PDF content?

Hello fellow mozzers!

One of our clients does an excellent job of providing excellent content, and we don't even have to nag them about it (imagine that!). This content is usually centered around industry reports, financial analyses, and economic forcasts; however, they always post them in the form of pdfs.

How does Google view PDF's, and is there a way to optimize them? Ideally, I am going to try to get this client set up with a blog-like plateform that will use HTML text, rather than PDF's, but I wanted to see what info was out there for PDF's.

Thanks!

Thank you Barry. I took your advice and went to the Google Webmaster forum.

Recently, I was looking over the linking profile for one of our large clients, and I noticed that a ton of spammy links were appearing. I have never purchase any links or done anything shady that would contribute to this large increase in bad links.

It appears as though someone is trying to hijack the SEO of this company, and I don't know how to proceed. Currently, they have not been penalized by Google, but I would not be surprised if a penalty is on its way due to the obvious link spam.

Is there any way to report this to Google to ensure that no penalties occer? Any advice on the issue is much welcomed!

Thanks
