Link Obfuscation Necessary On New Sites

By: Bob Sakayama

I noticed a few days ago that "site:domain.com" searches no longer go any deeper than 1,000 urls - many sites show significantly less, even when the number of indexed urls is high. Not yet seeing any push back from the seo community, but this is really huge for those of us responsible for the ranks of our clients. If your... continue

This post is a follow on to Enterprise Search Manipulation, which discusses problems Google has with enforcement actions against major players like JCPenney.

Are we starting to see some transparency from Google in their responses to reconsideration requests? So far, we've only seen 5 examples of this version of a new response, which denies "manual actions" (read 'manual Google penalties'), suggesting that fixing the issue will auto-correct the ranking losses. We welcome this change... continue

Looks like Google issued their biggest update yet today. It affected us, and a lot of people we know, what are you seeing? I came up with my own list, but #1 on the list is very specific to today's update. Some of the others are well known, some of them need to be explained and are not well known.

Things I am seeing with... continue

You might have heard that the hammer was about to come down on a part of the web universe occupied by white hat link builders. Lot's of screaming was taking place surrounding the pending Panda or Farmer update to Google's algo. Some hints from within Google lead to rumors about the target being sites with poor content, with... continue

Whatever your view of seo, one thing is true - "search engine optimization" is simply a more acceptable term for "search manipulation." Advancing the search performance of a website regardless of the technique is essentially manipulating the ranks higher.

I think it's important to remove any distinction because many seos... continue

I've run into this so many times - often connected to penalized sites - that I know it needs some kind of extra push to get Google to fix it once and for all. Maybe embarrassment will work. Please, someone, put this post in front of Matt Cutts.

Here's the problem. It's very easy to get cloaked pages ranked highly in... continue

(And what we are doing to help us and others do something about it)

Last May, my new online news aggregation business www.onenewspage.com, suffered a steep loss of traffic. In the space of just a few days traffic collapsed, falling from about 18,000 daily visits to around just 700, a fall of over 95%.
