I really wouldn't think so, if the pages are noindex and not linked from anywhere I imagine the answer is no but am as interested as you to hear a more indepth answer!

Agree with the above, work out what each KW is worth in terms of revenue, however, there are many KW, depending how LT and varied the KW are, that can be targetted within the same page without seeing the list of KW though, it would be difficult to estimate. We've often managed top 3 results for closely related groups of 3/4 variations around a keyword so qualifiers like "cheap" + main keyword or "buy" + main keyword (relating to price/purchase) and also quality like "boutique" or "luxury" or "budget".

It shouldn't, but simply run your own test and look at the result in your analyics package across a few browsers.

Hi

I know I can use Twitter and latest posts on Google & Blogs, but I was wondering what are the best tools at the moment to use if you are looking to write about up to the minute information about a certain topic.

Say the topic is London, is there a website or tag cloud to understand what people are saying about London right now? Anything better than Social Mention?

"Your site wont get any penalties as long as your site was indexed first."

So that´s 100% the case, if we were indexed first and our content is indexed no need to worry?

Hi

The websites on which our content will be appearing also pull XML info from many websites so we can´t control them as tightly as ourselves.

Is there anything we can do on our own pages to ensure we get authorship (I though Author tags, no), so we allow them to have the content but google always understands our´s is the original?

Both your solutions mean action on another company´s site.

Hi

Some advice appreciated.  Started working on a site and found out that they are giving their unique content to their affiliates (an XML feed so appearing on another domain).

In this case, if they want to provide the data like that, how can we protect ourselves?

Should we use author tags in our html, is that necessary?

Is there any fix other than "stop doing that and give them different content"?

Thanks

I find the whole tripadvisor SERP thing highly annoying as an SEO and a search engine user, I don't know what Google are thinking of with their allowing Tripadvisor to be 1,2,3 and even sometimes 4 and more on the SERPS like this, it is NOT what the user wants, nor the hotel. They need to spend time simply on a Tripadvisor update! How much of online search is travel/hotel/restaurant/attraction related? Must be immense.

I want to see Panda,Venice, Pengiun, Tripadvisor....
