yes one fly for this current record breaking “how long can I stay top of G even when the domains burn”
I live in the real world and for as long as you have search engines you will always have spam, but bat this fly and its over ? This is one of the worst cases but month in month out there has been numerous compliants about differnt cases and that will always happen except in most cases they last for days not weeks,these guys as you know are launching 00’s of sites daily and working too one day in top 5 for online poker which is a lot of traffic and a lot of accounts so do you really think everyones problem is solved after this one. Its a question not a argument!
You know the way all the engines try to come up with funky/cool names for there updates, what would you call this one?, From a spammers point of view I think we should call the last 3 months Disneyland “where all your dreams come true”
Maybe I think too much but I think its a case of the hunter becoming the hunted, yes of course G will be able to deal with this but I my point inbetween the lines of my post is the questions how they currently have applied the logic to the overall algo. One major spammer does not change the world but in my love hate relationship with G I am pretty sure Matt and the boys realise if we are going to have Web 2.0 we are now with Spam 2.0
Maybe I am just paranoid, but when you have people hacking computers and sites and doing it an way which is the basic outline of “how do I rank best based on all historical data and “reasonably proven” points” they must be asking themselves questions at G and wondering does the current system work
If I have (which I dont) the technical ability to hack my way onto standford.edu and show a casino redirect which standford does not know about because its not a UNI members pages but an illegaly placed page that ranks in the top 10, how can I think my algo works brilliantly if I trust long standing sites, some .com, edu, gov and decide to rank them highly if they decide to write a page about shoes, or tables, maybe they have some new information about gambling, but is it just spam??????
But then if I decide to amend my algo and decide that because of a new hack maybe I should add some penalty or variation of a sandbox unless there is a type of rule applied for new pages, what type of chaos would that enfold for my oh so pure algo
And dont worry there algo in my eyes has always been from a very odd viewpoint
So I think thats there question but would be total chaos and I dont know what there sensible answer to dealing with it i s, as maybe Stanford next week will release a ground breaking paper on Credit cards but is it spam,? is it legit? Can not compute overload :crazy: is that what the algo does?
SE Spam has been around for ages and will always be there but hacking to SE spam is reasonably new, meddling with CMS systems I thought was quite clever from a technical stand point,but I am still interested in how G reacts to this hack as maybe my belief is misguided but I still think it challenges the fundamentals of how it all works
How do you bat this fly? Close Plone what about all the other weak CMS?
What about the current redirects and manipulation you see from redirects Forbes.com forums and Businessweek.com blogs
For me I am in this for the long term and do this full time, and only pay attention because you can always learn something from understanding how its broken
Just to clarify all my sites are legit so I am not trying to learn something sneaky! and when I say full time thats in the AFF world and do more than gambling
Its just my views and I’m not saying this issue of spam shakes the world but will go back to my point on my previous post saying I think goog are questioning all the angles and just havent figured it out
Ultimately they will work it out, there a multi billion dollar company but I am going to stick to my guns about the point of the “hack” versus the current structure setup of there algo getting a lot of current time in the “plex”
Or maybe I should just stay under my bed:hattip:
