For long time I was going to update my tutorial ‘3 unusual tricks to not give SE-robots a chance to waste all your traffic’, finally done with this. Now it’s ‘4 unusual tricks to not give SE-robots a chance to waste all your traffic‘.
Besides, thanks to Jonathan’s fair comment I added a note to trick #2.
Now most of SEO advice to increase number of inbound links to site internal pages as way of preventing Google’s supplemental hell. For that end you need to know number of backlinks to internal pages of your website. I had found very simple Yahoo search trick, which helps to find this number and even see this backlinks:
linkdomain:domain.com -site:domain.com -link:http://domain.com/
Check out backlinks to internal pages of www.google.com for example.
Aaron Wall in his article “View All Your Google Supplemental Index Results” writes how to see only supplemental results for indexed site.
My friend and colleague Oslix described the interesting method many SEOs ask about: how to look over pages of an indexed site WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL results:
site:www.yoursite.com -allinurl:www.yoursite.com
Enjoy it!
Nice news: our extension approved by addons.mozilla.org catalogue editors.

Do editors of directory really beleives that spyware and adware is not web shit?
It’s suprising few people know that this possibility is built into Wordpress engine primordially. I was looking for the plugin when I stumbled on the discussion on WordPress Support board.
So, write messages for required period, say, for a week, set date of publication for each message - and have a good time! Messages would be published automatically, according to dates you set.
Couples of days ago I had to make few tricks with frame and iframe tags. I suggest this can be useful for many webmasters, especially for those who work with ads.
Trick 1: Page is built in frame on another site without your previous agreement. Remove this stupid frame.
Many don’t fancy frames because of bad usability. But I give you the decent reason to don’t like them: some smart guy can make a frameset in one frame of which your pages would be opened and his content would be shown in other frames, like his ads. Not bad for him, is it? No need content anymore!
The decision I chose:
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if (self.parent.frames.length != 0) self.parent.location=document.location
// -->
</script>
And other variants are listed in articles “Frame Breaking JavaScript Code” and Breaking out of frames.
You’ll find curious ones, that tells you how to stop loading alien site and open your own in new window!
Hint: you can use this trick to remove frames from image searches of Google, Yahoo and Live.com (MSN).
Trick 2: How to open iframe as full parent page like there is no iframe at all.
If you just use iframe with width=100% & height=100%, two scrollers will be hard not to notice - iframe’s scroller, and disabled main page scroller. It’s too plain and, moreover, sometimes it’s necessary to open your pages from another site and make it unnoticeable for surfer.
The decision (taken on zvonko.biz):
<html>
<title> zvonko.biz - full window iframe example</title>
<body style="overflow:hidden;margin:0px;">
<iframe style="width:100%;height:100%;border:0px;overflow:auto;" src=" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=test&btnG=Search ">
</iframe></body>
</html>

We released the Firefox security extension ‘Check Page for Shit‘ that uses Google to detect spyware, adware and other malware. No need spyware removal software, because the extension checks if a webpage contains spyware before loading. If spyware was found, you’ll get a link to Google’s warning page instead of one to the dangerous page.
Attention, I don’t recommend doing it, but if you still want to surf the dangerous site, click an appropriate link on Google’s warning page. Yyou won’t see warnings for some time. Besides, you can switch on/off the extension anytime by clicking its’ icon in status bar.
In most cases you won’t need a spyware remover - Google protects you from loading dangerous sites with spyware and adware!

Not long time ago Google added new operator info: that represented links to cash, backlinks, index and etc on given domain name query. For some time, domain name query by itself and query with this operator worked the same way, and that was strange - what this operator needed for, then? Now, domain name in query interpreted as ordinary keyword (before we had to inquote it).
Demo-queries:
google.com
info:google.com
In view of the aforesaid a question raises - what else was changed in Google?
P. S. Don’t ask me about why Google doesn’t show backlinks - it’s very old story.
