I have recieved an email with a pdf of a tribute to a fallen soldier and the email ask to print it out and place it on your door. Is there a way to place this pdf on my website that readers could print it out from the website and print it out? thanks for any help!

I'm not sure what you mean here by the example "site:mydomain.com filetype:pdf" If you put something like "site:intel.com filetype:pdf" into Google (without the quotation marks) and click the Google Search button, you get a list of all the PDF documents on the intel.com site that have been indexed by Google. If you try the same with "site:mcbuzz.com filetype:pdf" you get a page saying "Your search - site:mcbuzz.com filetype:pdf - did not match any documents." - because there are no PDFs on my site. Kelly,

If you try the same with “site:mcbuzz.com filetype:pdf” you get a page saying “Your search – site:mcbuzz.com filetype:pdf – did not match any documents.” – because there are no PDFs on my site.

My guess is that they simply convert them all to plain text/basic HTML - and then use their standard Googlebrain to index those files. It’s not too surprising they index PDF’s.

And an exclamation like 'Shucks!' is just icing on the cake. From the looks of your website, you do some web marketing yourself, but if there are any questions the McBuzz crew might be able to answer, give us a shout. Thanks for reading! Hank,
