hi there. I got to read this article a few days ago, but never seen anyone talking about it, so i will just post it here for your information. Original Source: http://www.free-seo-news.com/newsletter197.htm Hope this will be useful to some of you that havent seen this yet. p/s: try the datacenter 66.249.93.104 out. I gives my different results of BL and site: command. But didnt see any SERP changes for me.
I find this very interesting and believe that indexing this kind of content is pretty much a natural progression for googlebot which is essentially just a 1995 browser. Being able to follow image maps will certainly be useful in quite a few places on my sites.
Just an interesting fact that i found out: You couldnt see preference in the new datacenter 66.249.93.104 It says cookies is disabled indeed it's really a test datacenter.
I really wish search engines manage to spider scanned images. Just scan your documents and post it as an image yo your blog/site.
That would be nice..a tiff image/ocr database of information from which to get search hits That would be one hell of a database!
I've got more pages indexed in that datacenter than on the .com site ...including some that I'm sure shouldnt actually be there! But never mind.
