SEO Seems to Still Be All About Spamming

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

So, I took a break from doing SEO work and such, but really as I noted in another post – things haven’t really changed much. Google is still full of spam and spam can get ranked by spamming. My blog gets hit more than ever with spam so I’ve dissabled comments on this blog for the most part because it’s just a pain to deal with.

This is pretty much all people do to get rank on google or other search engines.

1. Grab some low competition keywords, fill the post up with them.

2. Make some web 2.0 pages that link to the spam post with the keywords as the links to the post.

3. Run automated link spamming or hire indians to spam on blogs/forums, whatever.

4. Spam more links to the post with whatever means necessary.

5. Spam some more.

SEO still isn’t rocket science. It’s pretty freaking easy and I’m surprised things haven’t changed yet. The more “legit” way is to buy link placements on sites and such, or just write posts for other sites and get backlinks, but really it’s still all about links and people are still gaming the system more than ever. Content should be ranked based on quality not links.

Spam Spam Spam: Google’s Still Full Of It

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

So, I still search for things on google like many others. However, I still see an a ton of spam in their results. This mostly has to do with autoblogs strictly made for ads/adsense.

You’d think they’d have this under control by now at least to some degree, but it appears that manufacturing links with tools such as xrumer and senuke still works wonders for the autobloggers out there.

Well, I’m still sick of it. I’d like to see some more progress on their end, they’re making enough money to do SOMETHING about it. I mean yandex usually has cleaner results, and in my opinion at least, yahoo should’ve tried to get yandex’s search results instead of bing’s, which are generally poorer than google’s.

Anyway, let’s hope the search giant does something to clean the mess up.

More Crap From Google

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Anyone out there hear that google is now personalizing all SERP results? That’s right, you don’t have a choice. Well you do, but you can only OPT-OUT you are automatically set as an OPT-IN. To make matters worse, for the average person to be able to OPT-OUT of this, it’s extremely complex. (I’m thinking of the average user here.. To me it’s not all that complex..)

I see privacy issues written all over this.. Google will be collecting all your search queries and internet activity in order to “personalize” your results. Not that Google doesn’t already have VERY HUGE privacy issues as it is. The more changes I see Google doing the worse they appear in my eyes. Personal data is literally leaking all over the place and if Google wanted to, they could basically track every single user on the internet, I mean lots of sites out there use Google analytics, lots of people use gmail, youtube, and blogger.

Now they’ve got this “personalized search” crap, along with the Google Chrome OS (I won’t ever touch this OS, EVER. ), and they’ve launched Google DNS.

Are they doing this just so they can dominate all online advertising everywhere? They’re banning AdWords advertisers left and right for no particular reason, (Advertisers that were advertising legitimate products/services) and making sweeping changes to the SERPS.

Ever try and contact Google? They’re basically all BOTS you can’t contact them, I really start to wonder if there are even any HUMANS at Google.

So in conclusion, I don’t trust Google and neither should you.

Google “Caffeine” Being Tested Now

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Have you heard? You can test the new google at www2.sandbox.google.com. Supposedly, this new search engine is faster and more relevant to search queries. I just looked around and it seemed like digg and social bookmarks were ranking higher on this search engine.

Seems like SEO’s will have to have to develop some different strategies, but as far as I can tell it’s not THAT much of a difference. Some may lose rank when this search engine is deployed, and some may gain rank. For some, it may not even make a difference.

Seems interesting, anyway. I’m not all that worried about the change myself, I checked and a lot of my sites seem to be ranking in the new engine, some even better than in the current version of Google.
