Matt Cutts: Industry Leaders Are Incapable Of Performing Editorial Discretion
Posted at 1:01 pm | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, SEO, blogthropology
For those of you who have missed the stories behind Google making Donna Fontenot jump through hoops and taking her prisoner of war, where’s a brief rundown. At one time Donna accepted money for advertising (fully disclaimed as such), and some forms of those adverts involved the client getting a link back. Google pimp slapped [...]

Hey, Donna… Your Lips Tired Yet From Puckering That Long?
Posted at 11:28 pm | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, SEO, anti-smackdown, blogthropology
Donna, I admire you. You sure do have some stamina, the way you’ve had them Louisiana lips of yours puckered so firmly to Google’s evil ass this long.
I dumped text link ads. I nofollowed paid links. I javascripted links that might be mistaken for paid links. I canceled my sponsored review accounts. I switched to [...]

Wired Says Screw It To All Search Engines After SEL Inspired Spam Attack, Disallows EVERYTHING With Robots.txt
Posted at 1:24 pm | Filed Under Google, On The Ball-ness, SEO, blogthropology, coding, nerdiness
So, it looks like after the mishap this past Friday, where SEL accidentally exposed the Wired How-To wiki to spammers, Wired has instituted their new spam deterrent measures. They seem to have gone just a tad bit overboard, if you ask me.

Oh Just Grow A Pair!

Danny Sullivan is actually off the hook cause I’m sick tonight, and have no energy to speak of… I was going to do a deeply involved detailed post having to do with cojones growing and owning up to events as they really happened…
Instead, I’ll just ask…

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 Comes Through! (Well, Mostly…)
Posted at 7:59 am | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, SEO, anti-smackdown, blogthropology
Way to go, Matt!
Although he said that it could take a while, it looks like the changes Matt mentioned he started the ball rolling on, that DazzlinDonna posted about back on Dec 3rd, “Admission of Guilt Will No Longer Be Required For Google Reconsideration Request“, have indeed gone through. For the most part, [...]

Did Matt Cutts Say It Is Illogical To Think Google Would Penalize Sites Just For Buying Links?
Posted at 12:38 pm | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, SEO, blogthropology
Donna wrote a piece today entitled, “Less PageRank Floating Around In SEO Niche“. The post was based around a comment Matt Cutts made on SEOmoz having to do with the fact that certain sites seeing lower PageRank had to do with the fact that “there’s less PageRank flowing around in some areas (e.g. search and [...]

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 [...]

Rand Fishkin Chooses Between Putting Up and Shutting Up - Guess Which He Chose?
Posted at 6:52 pm | Filed Under SEO, blogthropology, scams
I have blogged in the past about how annoying Rand Fishkin’s tactic of avoiding direct questions by obfuscation is. It especially irks me because in order to work it relies on taking advantage of people’s low attention spans, and in making the conversation too painful for most to bear. Often times pursuing winning an argument [...]

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 [...]
