A Modest Proposal
After reading about Google’s “full servers” I believe a truce is in order between blackhat search engine optimizers and Google. The grounds of the truce are fairly simple. I and other complying search engine optimizers will remove 1 page of content for 10 cents. The system would be fairly simple and entire transactions could be completed through Google Adsense. A publisher id in the meta description plus a noindex, nocache, nofollow tag would result in a removal. I believe the members of Syndk8 alone could free up 1 of Google’s massive servers.

Has PageRank Completely Diverged From Indexing?
I noticed something today which I had heard vaguely in the past as occurring but no hard evidence was ever presented: A banned site with PR. Some of you may be rolling your eyes and saying â€Å”oldnews.com†but for those of you still with me read on, I think it deserves some analysis.

After several months of zero progress a...

The challenge runs through the entire month of June. No tags for this post.
Black Hat Strategies for White Hat Companies
The response to the word “blackhat” is never the same. Some people seem maniacally interested. Others, terrified. Some think it’s a scam, a surefire plan for a Google ban. Others call it their bread and butter. Perhaps the only thing we agree on is they just don’t mix well. What is the point of spending time and energy building quality sites and risking them with blackhat seo? And, if you are willing to use blackhat tactics, why not churn and burn? It is true that Greyhat just isn’t a plausible solution for most companies. But, it doesn’t mean stripes of black and white are out of the picture. I would argue, that the chasm between whitehat and blackhat when it comes to services-offered by SEO firms has made whitehats less...
