SEO advice for Google

[PhilipSEO]

Dear Google,

I have noticed that the Google AdWords Keyword Tool is no longer in the Google search results for Google AdWords Keyword Tool.

Previously, when I searched for the phrase, this URL came up:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
but since you moved the tool to this new URL:
https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000&stylePrefOv erride=2#search.none!ideaType=KEYWORD&requestType= IDEAS
-- it is no longer anywhere in the results for itself.

I was puzzled by this and decided to figure out the cause. It took all of a minute, I ran a server headers check on the old URL:

Dear Google, please change that redirect to a 301. A 302 redirect is not SEO friendly and does not transfer Google rankings to a new URL!

Yes shame on you Google.

Honestly Philip your mug looks like a real live KGB operative!

Actually, regional results seem to vary. It comes up first in the UK.

Maybe you got a bad batch of crypto... oh and the microphone in your shoe is humming again.

You are wrong, buddy, the KGB does not exist any more. We have all turned into SEO professionals!
