  1. I think @arrington should create a full content aggegator at uncrunched.com of all former Techcrunch writers
  2. @SEOcopy Happens occasionally - good morning to you - shame all this chatter will disappear from the Google index in a few months
  3. @rustybrick @seosmarty @selenavidya @rishil Just make it a video "What SEO geeks say"
  4. @seosmarty @rustybrick @selenavidya @rishil A page (or pages) pointing to the URL have been indexed. Google include a reference
  5. @rustybrick @rishil @seosmarty &filter=0
  6. @rustybrick @seosmarty @rishil In google terminology that is just a reference
  7. @seosmarty @rishil A page has to be crawled first to be indexed... a reference link != indexed
  8. @seosmarty Read this stonetemple.com/articles/inter… @mattcutts "but we could return that URL reference that we saw."
  9. @rishil @seosmarty Could be used for indexation 3rd March onwards andybeard.eu/3600/google-bu… (not same as indexes robots.txt blocked content)
  10. @seosmarty Because I am a fool who still cares
  11. @resiever Just look at my Whitney blog post... at least Whitney's old site still has some reference
  12. @PaulDavidMadden I would just expect you to have a sophisticated bot ;)
  13. @resiever Matt Cutts has said frequently why they still have a reference
  14. @PaulDavidMadden I expect people who are not bots to at least read the tweet/title
  15. @Tim_Grice it is just a reference, and it has been that way for as long as I can remember - to index a page they have to crawl it
  16. Honestly embarrassed how many SEOs retweeted the "Death of robots.txt" post on State of Search today
  17. BUG: Google Now Counting Open Graph Tags For Canonicalization? bit.ly/AoCzt4
