I was looking at the seomoz.org site the other day and I noticed that my technorati links have increased…. for no apparent reason. When I look at this page:
xhttp://technorati.com/search/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcasinodirectory.com%2F
It shows a bunch of land based casino blogs. Good, right? No… take a look at them with the exception of the mexicocasinos.org site, they are all jumble text with keywords and right in the middle of it a link to my main site: xwww.worldcasinodirectory.com
I never followed up on the other “scam” thing and the freaking email i wrote to the guy who did it still sits in my outbox, ive been having email trouble.
guess its time to get motivated, what is the point of this? to report it to google? and what is the best approach?
thanks,
BFeel free to correct me if I am missing something or just plain wrong, but this looks like an attempt to harm you by making it look like you are link spamming. If they are really out to get you, they are probably putting the blogs up like that, then reporting YOU to Google.
I’m not sure how successful this tactic will be, but that is the first thing I thought when I saw it.
Be sure you report to google and explain you pissed off the BH community.
They should take care of it.
Yeah Dom, as if g99gle cared… good luck Bernie, chances are slim
theres millions of those !@#$% out there and trying to fight them manually you dont stand a slightest chance. i have once try to report suspicious spamming activity here and there – and guess how it all ended for me. well, the bloody clowns focused all their energy on me in return and i had to drop a few really nice domains because of that… :huh:
so whatever you do Bernie, dont let them findout its you, youve got much more to loose then those freaks
Actually from what I understand google hates Blackhatters like the plague they are.
I reported it to Google.
It is better that they hear about it from me first. The only viable reason as to why that person even created the page in the first places was that they were going to “alert” google anyway when the proper moment came – but in an effort to frame me. If I report it first they will have a hard time framing me.
I also think that they are interested in what evil minds are doing to effect the SERPs and I can’t think of any reason not to give it to them because they are more likely to figure out a solution to my problem if they know it exists.
I also think they appreciate that information. Even if its a non-technical way to manipulate the SERPs at least they know it’s there. That alone could save good websites who are being victimized, because if it is figured into the formula now that this can/is happening, they can program the algorithm in a way that would not punish the reciever of the actions.
For instance they could create a filter that would simply not regard a link on any PR3 or below page as a high enough quality link to help you at all. But having such a link definetly would not HURT you. In addition since a real site would eventually move from a PR3 to a PR4 anyway, having links on a sublevel page would still help you in the long run provided it was a quality site in to begin with (or became one)
Additionally if Google is going to begin using a human element more and more then those sites would of course eventually be banned if they show up in the SERPs using slimy maneuvers. (or before if you alerted them to the existence) – Thus the demand for creating them evaporates because:
(a) they dont work for the purpose intended (getting “real” sites banned for spamming)
(b) the site is useless for any other revenue model as it gets quickly banned in google.
(c) bigger “free” blog sites will probably become more strict in signup methods if the activity prolifierates as google can probably call them up and pull some strings if policing it gets out of control…
just my thoughts… back in from the grocery store :drink:
Good post, I agree with all.
