Matt Cutts of Google said at the Las Vegas PubCon that Google will very soon begin treating sub-domains and subdirectories the same, meaning that there will be a total of only 2 URLs from a domain in any set of search results - making it impossible to get multiple spots using sub-domains. Mr Cutts has promised to update people with more information on this as soon as he can.

This will be a major change if it happens. For example, searching for ‘google’ at Google returns ten results from Google - nine of which are on the google.com domain and one on google.org. Several of them are sub-domains.

Assuming that this rule is applied to everybody (with the exception of hosting sites like Blogspot and WordPress.com, for whom it wouldn’t make sense to apply the rule to) then even Google would be limited to two results per search. Will they do that to themselves?Right now it’s pure speculation on exactly how Google will handle this proposed change. Only time will tell.

Increase Traffic

Getting your name out there is the number one goal of any business. On the Weber-verse, the goal is to rank number one in the search engine. Finding the most popular keyword and repeating it on your site is one way.

Of course, there are other techniques. Posting web articles for other sites is an example. When writing for other sites include links to your site. Point in fact this site www.feedbytes.com. Writing for this site here means you can promote your own site. Provided you follow the rules for posting. There are other sites to write for. Such as http://hubpages.com/_pg1vpjl8msyb/hubs/hot/, www.digg.com, www.wpbankroll.com, or any site that allows you to post a blog or opinion piece.

The key factor here is by writing for other sites. You will increase the relevant keywords that describe your business. There are many other sites where you can post information. Most of those sites will be thrilled. They will become larger in the community and you will get your site out there.

Everybody is trying to get ahead of the game. The phrase “You scratch my back and I will scratch yours” is true. The web is the one place where rush hour is as precious as diamonds.
