Google is going more and more harden for webspam…..Great efforts!!

The implication that Google is focusing on content farms is still suggestive (and subjective at that). If Google censors *one type* of content, what’s to stop them from censoring another? Why not go after software directories after all… link directories, encyclopedias, dictionaries, news sites, job sites, Facebook feed pages (Oh No — Not Facebook!!), and more — including the thousands of social sites that feed off Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social bubbles just like them (you know, the ones that are thinking about going *public*).

I even read somewhere that Google will prefer documents that express a degree of research behind them. If that’s true, the algorithm is biased against humor sites, affiliate websites art sites, opinion sites, music sites, stores, personal wedding – family – kid sites, etc. etc.

It’s all hogwash hyped up by a load of unfounded and unverified fear. And I really wish it would stop.

I need 10,000 Chrome dislikes on my competitors from different ips please. Where can I buy this so Google takes it into account for the next Google algo. update and my site gets to the top? 1 cent per “dislike” or whatever is called. If you are from India or the Philippines the better.

It’s hard for them to admit it (in part to keep blackhat marketers at bay) but it is obvious they used and will keep using in the future the extension’s data. It was developed for that reason. Google has turned into a joke, a Craigslist’s silly “flagging” type of joke. They are losing the fight against blackhat marketers and spammers. Silly, out of this world ideas only come out of Google’s anti-spam dept. now. They have lost all my respect. It’s time for another search engine to replace it.

dont know when will thye give a clean declaration of what they are doing

However, the quality of Google search results gigantic improved during the past 10 years. Spam gets systematically knock out – this is fair.

I own and operate luxury minibus in London, I am a small operator still I spend lot of money with SEO company out there, who say they can do lot, but don’t. I start to do my self with my previous experiance. Now my website in first page on Google, Yahoo and Bing for keyword: Luxury Minibus hire, Luxury minibus, Luxury minibus hire London, Minibus Tours, Minibus Transfers and many more.
I have not noticed any changes to my website ranking due to the changes the google made recently. But I believe big companies with money will be on the google first page, or we have to choose google adword to be in the first page where google make money from. My average google adword cost is

Thanks for the interesting post. There’s some lessons here for ensuring good quality content.

Who cares if they are making changes ? I am not bothered as our content is original, updated regularly and has helpful information, but the fact the mark as spam option could be misused is really worrying.

Whilst nobody wants to see pointless or spammy content, isn’t there a danger in focussing too much on “information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis”?

Obviously that kind of content is very useful and informative and nobody would want to be without it, but what about people who don’t want such technical information? Do people who regard Twitter as an effective or interesting way of communicating actually want “research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis” or a more, er, “executive summary” kind of approach?

Surely there is a distinction to be made between webspam and a lighter – or more superficial – approach to many subjects?

Based on its approach to banning Adwords accounts permanently for no reason, with no explanation and no possibility of appeal – basically being judge, jury and executioner – Google really isn’t known for an intelligent or even thoughtful posture.

We seem to be required to an increasing degree to simply trust Google, its sacred algorithms and its increasingly hollow sounding “do no evil” motto but, just like earlier internet darlings such as AOL and Yahoo!, it appears to be jumping the shark to many previously enthusiastic supporters of the company…

JO points out a lot of sites that rank a lot higher than they probably should on any given subject. The point of Google judging different kinds of content does put a lot of subjectivity in the rankings. As searchers get more sophisticated, it makes sense to have search engines that focus on different kinds of content. If you’re researching chemical compounds, why not use a search engine that specializes in content related to scientific research? If you’re shopping for something, why not use search software that specializes in indexing products for sale? Search engines will evolve as real searchers do.

Ok, seriously now this is the single most best algorithm Google could has done to date for true blue SEO Professionals. There WAS a way to many wannabe SEO companies proclaiming to be the best with dropping a few 1000 duplicated articles out and achieving ranking.

Plainly, some of SEO companies back linking procedures got Google slapped, an awful lot of sites got knocked down. #1 is Article sites have taken a HUGE hit. Content farms have also taken a hit and generated content has taken a hit. Non-unique content has been all but wiped out. Google has sent out a message.

very interesting article ………. hello

Yes, we need stronger action on content farms and sites with low-quality content

The only way to ensure 100% Integrity is to have a human review of every site, something that will never happen and Yes, we need stronger action on content farms and sites with low-quality content.

Facebook now turns spam and unrelated comments on Page posts gray to denote them as low quality to admins, while leaving the blue background on other comments. This passive spam filter is applied to new comments on old posts, but hasn’t been retroactively applied to old comments. The filter will make it easy for admins to quickly sift through thousands of comments and delete spam.
