Yeah he took alot of flack for his comments because one of the VP’s at Google owns a site that sells links.
Not to mention that adsense and adwords are people buying and selling links.
Google = Evil hypocrites
This was a huge mistake on google’s part. I am glad that with all the negative attention they had to go back and clear things up.
They didnt have to clear anything up; it was obvious from the get go that they were interested in going after those gaming the system. Just because a site sells links doesnt mean they are doing it for SEO; in other instances its pretty obvious and those are the cases google/cutts wants to target.
I read Matt’s blog and he seems to be going around in circles.I think they are fear mongering and trying to get more money in their own pockets.I personally will not change the way I do business. And i own 3 physical servers ,one in canada , USA and Europe.How will he know that i own all 151 websites ?I give myself links back and forth so i really cant see how they can prove money going back and forth.
Would be a nightmare for them to prove .
The problem is this CBG
1. They have access to top level registrar information. Even “private” registrations.
2. They know what domains you own.
3. They dont have to prove anything to anyone. If they get annoyed with you for any reason they can penalize ALL your domains no matter where they are and not serve them up in their serps.
They HAVE done this in the past and they continue to do it. If they believe you have too many domains on a given topic they make you vanish from their returns because they assume you are a “spammer”.
Well Lou can i get google’s number if you have it because i dont even know what domains I own LOL.
I have all my links that i sold expiring july 7 or sooner and i dont plan to sell anymore on the websites I value in terms of income.But I do have exchange scripts on the websites now.There is also the snitch factor, if you have high serps as I do , all it takes is your competition to stab u in the back by paying for a link then turning you in to google.
If you read his entire blog post it says that he has no problem with link selling for relevant traffic but he has an issue with link sales that aim at SEO. He stated that he doesn’t take issue if sold links are clearly marked as “Sponsors”, “Ads” or whatever.
But I agree, it sucks that Google strives for world domination. Now you can even end up on thousands of Blogs if you sunbathe in the park and your a*s crack is showing thanks to “Street View”. What’s next “Toilet View”?
