That’s right… today Matt Cutts completely reversed his opinion on pages indexed in Google that are nothing more than copies of auto-generated snippets. Back in March of 2007, Matt discussed search results within search results, and Google’s dislike for them: In general, we’ve seen that users usually don’t want to see search results (or copies [...]

Wednesday TechCrunch posted an article about a new ad product launched by MediaWhiz. The name of the product is InLinks, and it involves people being able to purchase anchor rich text links embedded into content in a way that is supposed to give it a “natural” feel. Michael Arrington called the product “insidious”. His whole [...]

Google Tries Too Hard To Appear Useful, Starts Making Up New Words
Posted at 12:16 am | Filed Under coding, Google, lackofmeds, nerdiness, SEO
The Google Search feature that Google calls “Spell Checker” can be very handy at times. You know the one I mean… you type something hastily in the box, manage to inadvertently slip in a typo or two, and Google, very helpfully, asks you “Did you mean: {some other word}”.

How To Remove Your Website From Linkscape *Without* An SEOmoz Meta Tag

Over the past couple of weeks, one of the biggest concerns about SEOmoz’s new Linkscape tool (which I recently blogged about in reference to the bots that Rand refuses to identify, and then again due to suspicious additions of a phantom 7 billion pages to one of his index sources) has been the complete lack [...]

Posted at 3:22 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, Google, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media
A couple of days ago I posted my assertion that Rand Fishkin had lied about the details of the new Linkscape tool on SEOmoz. During the discussion that followed, Rand continued to maintain that they owned the bots that collected the data that powered the tool, despite several points on that being very unclear, and [...]

Donna is definitely one of my bestest friends. She gets me, we think alike, and when I get stuck on an issue she’s always there to help me, even if it’s just moral support (although usually it’s in the form of information I need when my brain is just plain overloaded). I love her to [...]

How To Block The Bots SEOmoz *Isn’t* Telling You About
Posted at 2:05 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, nerdiness, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media
Ok, so, looks like Rand and gang finally decided to reveal their top-secret recipe about how they gathered all that information on everybody’s websites without anyone noticing what they were doing.
