One of my directories is really starting to build up quite nicely and there are many websites submitted that I am impressed with. Design, quality of content, topics, really some amazing stuff. It’s been so refreshing to see that not everyone is madly developing Adsense Cheese sites :lol:.
Unfortunately I find myself rejecting several directory submissions [...]

I was picking through the link exchange page on one of my affiliate product websites. I don’t do a whole lot of trading links, so I tend to have less than 20 to a page on any given site of mine.
Being the ‘link exchange can’t-be-bothered-with-it’ person that I am, I haven’t checked the reciprocal links [...]

Darn it.
How scandalous would that have been if Google toasted PageRank altogether? Oh the uproar the boards would have been in!
Oh well. At least we had a nice weekend free of the green specks.

I popped into a thread over at WPW Toolbar broke…Do you Link? and my resentment boiled again towards the Green Dictator displayed as PR in Google’s Toolbar.
That green holds so much power over the web, too much power in my opinion. It determines who gets linked to, who doesn’t and how many links are presented [...]

Hey Google’s banned every website! Everyone’s GREY BARRED!
j/k seems there’s a glitch happening with PR at the moment, it’s been down for hours and hours. Or maybe goog’s mixing stuff up and dumping PR altogether? Or it could be that goog’s playing with us. Whatever’s happening, don’t worry about PR not showing on [...]

I pulled out the new Google Patent the other day to try muddling my way through it (also pulled up Graywolf’s analysis). The domain points kept my attention, but particularly the name server area.
From the patent:
[0101] Also, or alternatively, the age, or other information, regarding a name server associated with a domain may be used [...]

Yes the day has finally arrived - the Google PR update. Look up at your Google Toolbar and see what I see for this page? A whopping PR of 4! First new site ever to start out with a bang like this, I usually struggle with 1 and 2 for new sites. Told ya [...]

Blaming Google - South Park Style
Blame Canada Lyrics
Blame Google!
Online Webmasters
Times have changed,
Google’s SERPs are getting worse
They won’t obey the inbounds,
They just want to fart and curse.
Should we blame the link spam, or blame the white hats, or should we blame the black hats…No!
Blame Google! Blame Google!
With all their cloaked little spies,
Their autolink so full of [...]

Ok when will I learn to save my most amazing, brilliant brain flashes for my own blog!
Current Thinkng on Linking for Google
hmmm we should play with Google now. Pick the whitehouse or something big and knock em out of the serps. We could call it Google Bowling. lol
But ego aside GoogleBowling is serious [...]

Caught a thread over at Threadwatch: Google’s 302 Problem Solved? so I snuck a peek at the sites I’ve been monitoring.
I do see a big change, the site:domain.com query does show clean results. No hijacked urls and no scripted links included in the results. You may want to check your sites that were affected by [...]
