SEMPO Vancouver SEM Meetup: September 13, 2011 at REVEL Room in Vancouver
Announcing a new SEM Meetup for The SEMPO Vancouver Search Engine Marketing Group on September 13 2011 in Vancouver!
“Alex’s presentation on e-marketing was timely and relevant for those attending, and was generally well received. His presentation style encouraged active participation by the audience, who had ample opportunity to have their questions and concerns addressed. Despite the presentation being during dinner, audience attention was very high, probably given the relevance of the topic to the industry at this time.”

Stop Character /// Certain characters, such as ampersand (&), equals sign (=), and question mark (?), when in a web page's URL, tip off a search engine that the page in question is dynamic. Search engines are cautious of indexing dynamic pages for fear of spider traps, thus pages that contain stop characters in their URL run the risk of not getting indexed and becoming part of the "Invisible Web." Google won't crawl more than one dynamic level deep. So dynamic pages with stop characters in its URL should get indexed if a static page links to it. Eliminating stop characters from all URLs on your site will go a long way in ensuring that your entire site gets indexed by Google.
