The Search for the Real Conversation
When you look at current trends in search, you must also look at the roles social media and real-time search are currently playing in the industry. As Mike Grehan of Incisive Media researched his thought paper, “New Signals to Search Engines,” he looked at these very areas.

Before Bing launched, many people speculated what it would offer. Webmasters, developers, and advertisers were primarily concerned with the Toolbox. As Rajesh Srivastava of Bing tells WebProNews, there were three important principles that Bing wanted to convey with their Toolbox.
Canonical Tag Vs. 301 Redirect
Is the canonical tag a better option than a 301 redirect? As Greg Grothaus of Google explains, the 301 redirect was the previous recommendation for duplicate page situations. However, that doesn’t mean that it is always the best option. The 301 redirect is primarily on the server side and transfers all the traffic from one page to another page permanently.
