NOODP: Should Google Have Kept Greasing Wheezer?
August 1, 2006
One of my favorite Little Rascals episodes is called Bear Shooters where Spud can’t join the gang on their hunting trip because he has to stay home and grease his little brother Wheezer. It’s rumored that the band Weezer took it’s name from this classic episode.
"I can't come out," whines Spud. "I've got to stay home and grease Wheezer!"
It all works out for Spud in the end. But, I’m wondering if Google should have stayed inside and greased Wheezer a while longer before adding support for the NOODP tag. Did we celebrate prematurely?
We’ve read several site owner reports that allege their rankings have dropped significantly since implementing the tag on their sites. A few of these also report that they removed the tag and their placements returned to their former positions.
The only Intrapromote client so far that has implemented the tag has also experienced a drop in placement for their most important and competitive search phrase at Google. About the same time, they’ve also seen a major drop in the number of pages indexed by Google.
Coincidence?
Poor Wheezer was better off with the croup?
Hmmmmm . . . . . . . . . .
Our client plans to yank the NOODP tag to see if normalcy resumes. Stay tuned. I’ll let you know what happens.

Will adding the meta NAME=�ROBOTS� CONTENT=�NOODP� hinder my main keyword phrases or ranking?

Hey, if you are trying to make more money on-line you must take a look at an excellent new guide to building your own Info Products. Most folks begin with affiliate marketing, however this technique is a lot easier and more profitable (and I find it far more rewarding as well, creating my very own products). The best factor is, rather than attempting to persuade individuals to purchase someone else's product, this information reveals how one can become profitable by selling individuals exactly what they need! It is so much simpler, and much more profitable!
