First of be sure to watch the asdf videos posted below (or here at asdf videos) if you haven't seen them yet. TeamGateBar finds them pretty amusing.
So today all of teamgatebar came together and overhauled this rankmaniac colgate blog. We had a major issue with our site structure. By having the blog archive as a widget on every single page, we essentially were diluting our page rank. In the end we had a clique of 28 posts that all had links to each other. So we called up the resident rankmaniac and she came on down and cleaned up this here town and now we have a more reasonable link structure. The archives can now be found on the rankmaniac colgate history page embedded at the bottom of the post.
We also had a 404 error which boggled our minds for a bit. A few days ago I deleted a double post, but a link in the post was to the url of the deleted page. Result, google webmaster complained, loudly. Furthermore, google is still insisting we have duplicate meta tag descriptions. According to their archives we do have duplicate meta tag descriptions, but those have since been changed, leaving only the keyword meta tag's for rankmaniac colgate and such. I have to wonder how often google update's it's archives. Hopefully they will do it soon, as this colgate competition only has a few weeks left.
We are also trying a link juice experiment, check out teamgatebar's rankmaniac colgate posterous blog. We have summarized all of these posts in one long post over there. There is the possibility that we may hit trouble with duplicate content, but perhaps because everything is in one long post about rankmaniac colgate we will be fine. Only time will tell. I leave you with this meme, classic.
