Recently I was having trouble navigating to certain websites that I hosted. I knew the sites weren’t down to code issues so I called my hosting provider and asked them if there were problems on their end. There wasn’t and through troubleshooting, I discovered that my ISP (Cox Cable) was having issues with their DNS servers finding these websites.

I was told about switching to Google Public DNS.  I followed the steps and switched my DNS servers from Cox to Google.

Problem solved!  It appears Google spends more time ensuring their DNS servers are more reliable and up-to-date.  Staying with Cox was keeping me from administrating my websites, as well as view a few others.

Thanks Google :)

Google does NOT use keywords in page ranking

Recently we received some questions about how Google uses (or more accurately, doesn’t use) the “keywords” meta tag in ranking web search results. Suppose you have two website owners, Alice and Bob. Alice runs a company called AliceCo and Bob runs BobCo. One day while looking at Bob’s site, Alice notices that Bob has copied some of the words that she uses in her “keywords” meta tag. Even more interesting, Bob has added the words “AliceCo” to his “keywords” meta tag. Should Alice be concerned?
At least for Google’s web search results currently (September 2009), the answer is no. Google doesn’t use the “keywords” meta tag in our web search ranking. This video explains more, or see the questions below.
