Just recently saw a heads up on my Google buzz that last Sept 15, 2010 there’s a minor PR update. I don’t know what this “minor PR update” means, but I’ve experienced from few years ago. I think the “major PR update” might take place soon. After checking my sites, I’ve seen some changes on the PR of my site. So maybe it’s true that there is a “minor PR update”.

A quick heads up of the new features on Gmail apps. Yesterday I’ve decided to try the new GMAIL Priority Inbox. And I really like how it turn out to be. It is exactly what I wanted to be. The advantage of this new features is that you can sort the most important email to the least important on the Inbox. Other advantage of this new features is if you’re receiving hundreds of email everyday, you might missed an important email especially if you’re on a vacation and you haven’t check your email for few days. Generally, I think every gmail user must try it. It’s convenient and very useful. Here’s the screenshot of the new Gmail Priority Inbox.

This post is specifically for wordpress users. On this SEO tutorial, I will give a heads up on what is the current problems happening to wordpress installations. For over a year now, I’ve noticed that most of wordpress installation are now disallowing search engine bots to index your site. If you’re not conviced, if you have lots of sites that’s using worpress try these. Open your site URL/robots.txt (seopinoy.com/robots.txt) you will be surprise that you will find atleast 3-5 sites or more that has this line on your robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This code disallow search engine bots to crawl your site or index. The first indication that your site is having this kind of robots.txt is when your site lose PageRank. As I have encounter these hundreds of times checking others website’s robots.txt.

To solve this problem, it’s simple you must upload a robots.txt whenever you will install wordpress on your site that contains this lines:

User-agent: *
Allow: /

If you find this useful, please leave a comment. I just want to know if this situations apply to other hosting company as well. I’m suspecting it’s a default from hosting company, or from wordpress installations. But my other speculation is some crackers, is doing these to eliminate competitions.
