Did you notice that you've selected the "Mobile" tag? You're just displaying mobile articles and there probably wasn't a new one for 3 days? I can see newer articles by selecting other tags Wink | ;)

I have had this problem in the past when using filters in searches or QA. It seems to get proliferated in the home page; most confusing.

[Simplified] State Management in ASP.NET[^]

Don't know how did this get through. What is new in here? What's something which can be considered informative? All the decade old info. Author stated 'Simplified'. What is simplified here?

@Sean : I think it's getting more and more important to either display name of those who has approved the content or make a change regarding who can approve. As per i know, someone with pretty new to CP can get access to Moderation queue easily (With few subscriptions, some messages,some answers etc).

To me it looks like maybe the community approved it. But I am talking to Chris about your suggestions now.

You'd be surprised. A lot of times there's just a difference of opinion in the approval queue. Some people are softer, others harder.

I kept quality of the content in mind.

And i appreciate it. But the problem is, newbie s would not focus enough on how this approval mechanism works,so to provide them access to moderation queue just after 3-4K Authority points would not be efficient.

Articles SEO Problem

Hi guys,

I have the following problem. I have already published 20 articles using the blog feed feature. Before that my SEO of my blog was perfect, almost all of my articles was displayed 1st during google searches. However, after I published them here too, almost all of them have really bad SEO, displayed on the 10th page after Google search.

So my question is, is it possible to fix this? If it is not is it possible to complete delete, already published article. I have tried with one of my articles, but the only thing that happened was that it was set to status deleted but is still browsable and accessible through Google.

Thank you in advance for the answers!

Best,
Anton

When we republish a Technical Blog we insert canonical links to ensure you don't lose any Google Juice:

eg.

HTML

<link rel="canonical" href="/Articles/878773/Implement-Copy-Paste-Csharp-VB-NET-Application" />
<meta name="syndication-source" content="http://automatetheplanet.com/implement-copy-paste-c-vb-net-application/">

If you're losing search engine placement then you may need to take a look at your pages and keywords themselves.

Google messes with our heads. Constantly. Trying to second guess them is a road to insanity.

Update 2/11/11:

We've had a lot of interest in these meta tags, particularly in how the syndication-source tag relates to rel=canonical. After evaluating this feedback, we’ve updated our system to use rel=canonical instead of syndication-source, if both are specified.

If you know the full URL, rel=canonical is preferred, and you need not specify syndication-source.

I know it's an old post, but that seems to imply that Google is taking the rel=canonical URL as the source, and ignoring the syndication-source tag.
