Google Search: Turn off PR
Yesterday’s post on Web Pro News reminded me of something I’ve been concerned about a lot: Black hat SEO tactics. In short, some SEO companies hire low pay people to post fake comments on blogs to get a back link. This does 3 things: 1. Annoys the shit out of the blog owner who has to weed through comments to pick out the fake ones that Akismet doesn’t catch. 2. Annoy the hell out of Google search user who is trying to find the best content – not the highest paid SEO team. 3. Keep the small businesses out of the...

I… Forgot I have this blog still. I bet this is one of the signs that you have too many blogs/websites? Oh well, since we’re here.
