For example, exact match anchor text links in blogrolls, comment spam, directory links, etc. I thought to myself, was he using comment spam to gain exact match anchor text links? As soon as I saw that, my first thought jumped to comment spam...
Although there has been no official announcement or comment by the social media giant, the long-rumored idea of Facebook incorporating hashtags – the ubiquitous # symbol used on Twitter to make certain keywords or topics searchable – gathered...
Tons of directories, article submission sites, comment spam, link networks, etc. Bad idea. Passing PageRank to affiliates is never a smart idea, and Google isn’t going to react well. You should know how and why new organic search traffic is hitting...
We used to comment on blog posts and in forums mainly, but now we have all these other ways of expressing our opinions, bonding with others, and promoting ourselves. Tons of spammy template sites are built in order to capture rankings and traffic...
Not moderating my comment spam might just mean I have a small team of people, not that the company is bad. Now you may see your search rankings significantly lowered for just not watching your comment spam or for having too many ads on a page above...
Those online are understandably there to validate, share, comment, critique, respond and contribute to content. While Facebook has assured that they will improve spam detection, as a result of a startup alleging 80 percent of their traffic was sent...
When SEO becomes an issue is when spam comes into play, such as if you go overboard buying links, doing comment spam links, or keyword stuffing. By this time next year, Cutts hopes people are less likely to do link buying, blog comment spam, etc.
Comment on relevant blogs and sites without doing so in a spammy manner. I wouldn't suggest popping your link into a casual comment because that's not a good way to build long-term link exposure, but using your site for your comment signature can...
Widely used on social network platforms in order to associate a tweet/comment with something. A new search algorithm designed to detect, and boot out, spam. Also a great alternative to Google and prides itself on being a spam-free search engine.
Reassured that the idea of an over-optimization penalty was not some sort of bad April Fools' gag, it became obvious that at least to Google “over optimization” is indeed the new search engine spam. Act smarter than a fifth grader, and create great...
Comment on their blog when you contact them. If the blog is supposed to be about interior design but you see a bunch of Forex links in the sidebar, you should consider looking elsewhere because you don't want to be associated with a low quality...
A better alternative, perhaps, is to have a human do it, and to have them put some real effort into thoughtful comments, and build a profile history, prior to adding a comment that has links back into it.
Of course, this doesn't mean you should comment spam every relevant post you can find! Common faux pas include promoting yourself on a forum before introducing yourself properly or using auto-reply spam and auto-follows on Twitter.
A benign title to anyone who has never run a blog and experienced the headache, "Preventing comment spam" promised future bloggers comment spam would be greatly devalued by this simple tag. One of the people involved in the comment spam fighting...
Well, not exactly where we started; these new breed of search engines aren't human-powered in the same way DMOZ and the original Yahoo were, they're algorithmic search engines that have been human-enhanced by allowing searchers to rank or vote on...
I take the usability comment to heart, and in general, will continue to advise my clients to try to design pages that users can easily understand and navigate, which will naturally tend to produce pages with fewer than a couple of hundred outbound...
A word of caution: While blog comment spam will always be an issue, take care that you don't eliminate valuable user comments from your blog. Encourage your blog readers to comment. This encourages readers to keep interacting in order to reach...
Again, put the URL the end of your comment; and certainly don't put in only a URL with little or no actual commentary, or you will deservedly be flagged for spam and blocked. For your text comment: End your comment with a helpful URL.
Because he'd already alienated 70% of the audience with the "SEO is BS" comment, the line didn't get laughs.Moving onto a distinctive feature of the new Netscape—"I take credit for paying people to work"—Calacanis outlined his scheme whereby...
This notice of an algorithmic change to come to Digg.com has encouraged the top user, p9s50W5k4GUD2c6 to leave Digg with a comment he left here. We mentioned in June how there's an online Matt Cutts doll, where you can put some virtual clothing...
