On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video. Mharris from New York asked: Does anchor text carry through all 301 redirects? Will there be a penalty for sites that do this as their sole way of link building?

Wonder how URL shorteners like TinyURL work…
I also wonder about URL Shorteners because those are becoming more popular. Is that something to worry about? Thanks!
For SEO, dont be afraid to impart your knowledge to others as it may just send them to your site. It will also show them you have a vested interest in your business and in your customers.
