Last week I had the opportunity to attend Search Engine Strategies San Jose (SES) and hear the most successful people in the industry talk about the latest and greatest in search. I learned far too much to go over on one post and have already blogged on this conference on my company’s blog so I will try to focus on what is happening in the world of Bing.

Language Support and Canonical URLs

Published: July 3, 2009Posted in: All, Beginner, Intermediate

For those of you returning to the site today, many of you may notice that some changes have been made. First, I have decided to change the blog back to a more traditional format. Secondly, I have now added language support (thanks to Davide Pozza’s Global Translator plugin) for over 40 languages. Now, these may sound like fairly minor changes but I am going to show you how much of an impact these two changes can have on SEO.

First, I have never like the traditional blog format much, I have always thought that it provides too much information when all I am going to read is a headline and maybe the first sentence when looking for something specific. I don’t like having to scroll down a page to see all of the important information on it. The truth is that search engines, specifically Bing, might feel differently.
