Hi, Do search engines have preference for domain name extensions. For example using a .com, .biz or a country extension such as .co.za. Any comments or views about the relevance or lack of it on domain name extensions and the success of search engine indexing would be appreciated. Thank you.

Search engines sometimes penalize or ban sites for manipulative SEO techniques. What are the most common techniques that SE's hate? How far will a SE go when penalizing a site? If the tactic is stopped, can sites get back in?

hmm, seems we've had a backlink update today. At least my sites have more showing. It does seem rather dated though, I know I have more indexed backlinks than they are showing. Maybe they only show backlinks that have been on a site for an extended period of time? Chris
