Meta keywords tags are not an effective way to help Google with its search engine optimization and are not allowed by Google as a ranking signal. What is the effect of a 301 redirect? A 301 redirect is used to move a website from one domain to another. It is used when a new site that a user has bookmarked is launched or if a user is accidentally redirected. It is considered a permanent redirect because the old URL is no longer available.

Can I use a 301 redirect to permanently redirect to a new URL? No. If the URL you are redirecting to is the canonical URL for your site, then a 301 redirect is appropriate. However, a 301 redirect should not be used as a temporary redirect since users will perceive that your site moved, even though it is just redirecting to the same content on a new URL.

Why did I lose the original links on my pages? Google does periodically reset our cached results. When this happens, it is referred to as a "pulse". The pages will then be re-crawled and fresh links will be indexed and show up in searches. It does take time for a page to come back, so it may take a few days or weeks.

How do I find out how long my pages will be cached? Each of your pages may have different caching settings. In Google Webmaster Tools under the Crawl Errors section you can check to see how long your pages have been cached.

I noticed that some of my webpages are no longer cached, what happened? Google may have decided to temporarily stop caching any particular page that violates their Terms of Service. Or, they may have made changes to their policy for how they handle crawlers violating their TOS.

Why does the Google Safe Browsing report indicate a site is "Secure"? The Secure status in Google Safe Browsing is based on reports from various sources including security firms, and individual users who report dangerous sites or malware.
