Bing, Google, Yahoo and Ask now jointly support the Sitemaps protocol. Since the major search engines use the same protocol, [ 3 ] having a Sitemap lets them have the updated page information. Sitemaps do not guarantee all links will be crawled, and being crawled does not guarantee indexing. [ 4 ]
A redirect service is an information management system, which provides an internet link that redirects users to the desired content. The typical benefit to the user is the use of a memorable domain name, and a reduction in the length of the URL or web address.
Hence, a new page with PR 0 and no incoming links could have acquired PR 10 by redirecting to the Google home page. Spoofing can usually be detected by performing a Google search for a source URL; if the URL of an entirely different site is displayed in the results, the latter URL may represent the destination of a redirection.

[1] [9] While the canonical link element has its benefits, Matt Cutts, then the head of Google's webspam team, has said that the search engine prefers the use of 301 redirects.
Indexing low priority to high margin to labels like strong and link to optimize the order of priority if those labels are at the beginning of the text could not prove to be relevant. Some indexers like Google and Bing ensure that the search engine does not take the large texts as relevant source due to strong type system compatibility. [23]
Since 2007, all links to other websites from English Wikipedia have the nofollow HTML attribute set. [12] This means that on pages that are indexed by search engines, any links found by a search engine on those pages should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index.
Link Equity Transfer: Search engines typically transfer a majority of the link equity (or “link juice”) from the source URL to the target URL for 301 redirects. [ 6 ] Indexing Delays : There might be a lag before search engines recognize the redirect and update their indexes accordingly.
In October 2008, the internal search function was significantly improved, enabling all the functionality already available through search engines such as Google, and also incorporating a number of features unique to Wikipedia, such as automatic identification of redirects and page sections, and more appropriate search rankings.
