Sitemaps: RSS For The Entire Website?
Well, no, not really. But Google Sitemaps does employ XML technology in order to provide its program members the opportunity to have their site crawled after they make updates or alterations.

External Coding To Improve Search Engine Placement
Do you have lots of JavaScript coding in the header section of your web pages? Do you re-list your CSS styles at the top of every page? Do you have JavaScript coding spread throughout your web pages?

When Will Blogging Peak?
While I don't claim to know or predict the future, I do feel like this whole blogging thing is gonna peak sooner or later.
After that it may die off or continue along just fine. But either way I suspect blogging as a "hot thing" can only last so long.

When Will Blogging Peak?
 By Jeremy D. Zawodny

How long? That's the question.
It seems to me that the advertising bits are falling into place, the tools are beginning to mature, the marketplace of platform and service vendors will be consolidating soon, and well... everything seems to be falling into place.

What's still missing?
Blogging now feels like on-line shopping around the year 2000 or 2001. Most of us no longer think it's a miracle that it works, a new thing, scary, difficult, hard to understand, etc.
So I'm starting to wonder what the timeline might look like. Roughly when do you expect blogging to go from being "the new thing" or "the thing that changes/reinvents X" to just another part of daily life for a bunch of people? ...just like on-line shopping.

301 Redirects Aren't Always The Answer
 By Chris Richardson
One of the more popular questions asked on SEO-related forums as do with the use of 301 redirects and duplicate content. When people pose questions about duplicate content because of domain naming reasons, one of the first things suggested is using a 301 redirect to avoid being penalized.
For those who aren't sure, this
article gives more information about duplicate content and 301 redirects.]
However, what are your options if you've already been penalized for having duplicate
content and you would like to correct your error? Can you still employ a 301 redirect
to rid yourself of this penalty? If the SearchEngineWatch
forum discussion concerning this very subject is any indication, then perhaps
not.
 According to poster Mikkel deMib Svendsen (who happens to be speaking
the Ad Reps: Friend Or Foe? session during San Jose's SES), people who've been
penalized may not receive any respite by using 301 redirect:
If you are hit with this sort of dupe penalty I have only found one way to get out of it - and it can take up to a year: You need to DNS you primary domain to the webserver with your real content and all other domains to separate webservers with one page saying something like: "We no longer use this domain please to to [primary-domain]" with a link to the real website. No redirects, no META-refresh - just a plain HTML page with a single passive link...
Definitely something to consider if you've been hit with a dup content penalty.
