It looks like even Stanford University, where Google was born, has been victim to the latest Wordpress exploit going around.
I was poking around in the serps from the query I showed in the last post, seeing what blogs had been hit,

Pulled Post…
Posted at 4:13 pm | Filed Under Social Media, blogthropology, lackofmeds
Today I posted a piece that made fun of online romances, something that I generally always take with a grain of salt due to having observed them in all of their forms over the many years I have been online. The one thing that they all have in common is drama, and an abundance of [...]

Last Friday, poking around, I came across an article that had been submitted to Sphinn at the beginning of the week entitled “1:1 Interview With Search Marketing Authority and Visionary Hamlet Batista”. In the description it is billed as “a great interview where Hamlet discusses his introduction to SEO/SEM, touching on his immensely successful [...]

All Humor Aside, Here’s Why Matt Cutts Statement About AdWords Above SERPS Is BS
Posted at 10:24 pm | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, On The Ball-ness, SEO, blogthropology, lackofmeds
Sometimes, as geeks, we forget how the non-geek mind works. Things we take for granted as being obvious aren’t always so to the untrained eye. Yes, when most of us who live on the Internet perform a search on Google, we know without even thinking what is sponsored and what is not. Most of us [...]

Matt Cutts Says: Paid Ads *Are* A Type Of Search
Posted at 10:30 am | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, On The Ball-ness, blogthropology, lackofmeds
As many of you know, Andy Beard has been out of the posting loop lately, due to being preoccupied with moving. Luckily he did manage to get in a much needed review of Matt Cutts post on paid links.
I stumbled across the post last night, and I saw a quote by Matt Cutts that caught [...]

Newbs, ‘Science’ Spinning, ‘Teesway One Nine Nine’, And A Saturday Meme
Posted at 10:51 am | Filed Under On The Ball-ness, blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, nerdiness
One of the sites I own happens to involve electronic poetry. On that site, on the bottom of the pages, I incorporated a news feed. Nothing fancy, just shows a few stories, their headlines, links, and brief snippets. Occasionally, for news stories with very few results, someone will stumble across my site when researching the [...]

Microsoft Starts Covering Their Ass On Rogue Bot Intrusions
Posted at 12:08 pm | Filed Under MSN, On The Ball-ness, SEO, blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, scams
A quick update to the Microsoft Rogue Bot Fiasco. It looks like now they have correctly DNS’d the IP range that they are sending these bogus requests from. Previously, all of the IP’s (which I first mentioned were all coming from the 65.55.165.* block) reverse DNS’d to names such as bl2sch1081901.phx.gbl. They have apparently changed [...]

Microsoft Needs To Quit Fucking With My AdSense Scripts
Posted at 3:13 pm | Filed Under MSN, On The Ball-ness, SEO, blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, scams
A few months back I discovered that I was being hit with massive amounts of referrer spam. It was a little odd, because the phrases weren’t made to look like I had links coming from some sleazy little viagra or porn site… no, these were made to look like I was ranking for all kinds [...]

Ok… Who’s The Smartass That Spam-Reported YouTube?
Posted at 11:39 pm | Filed Under Google, SEO, blogthropology, lackofmeds
Or, I guess more to the point would be, who’s the dumbass that didn’t follow up the report by manually checking before applying the penalty? I mean, c’mon now… you guys aren’t going to going to try and still claim that this whole mess is about penalties, after screwing up the PageRank of a company [...]

Guys, Rand Didn’t Do It For Linkbait…
Posted at 12:50 pm | Filed Under SEO, blogthropology, lackofmeds, scams
At least, not in the way most people seem to think. That’s just not the way it looks to me. This is probably the 4th or 5th time now I’ve seen the recent Rand fiasco speculated upon as being typical link bait (very nice read Li, by the way). Personally I thought the motivation behind [...]
