I need to get ditoweb.com v2.5 (currently 2.0) finished, which involves at least 8 […]

WTF Google?
First you take back almost all my PageRank on most of my pages, now, 2 of my most important pages on my site are not even being indexed? Dito’s Web Design and Dito’s SEO pages have been removed.
I practice ‘white-hat’ SEO. I have read and do follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines. In […]
