Observation about Google indexing

Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: June 6th, 2006 Published in: About Fused Nation, Blogging, Google, Link Building, Search Engine Optimisation, Spam, Speculation

This is a new blog and as such I’m keeping a close eye on how the site is indexed.  A result, I presume, of the recent Google indexing changes, this site currently has only 2 pages indexed.
So far, Google indexed and cached a version of my homepage only (even before I updated the template) and [...]

Dylan, Jeremy and nofollow

Nofollow no good? - Jeremy Zawodny based on a blog post by Dylan Tweeney – Google’s embarassing mistake.
Dylan quite logically points out the flaw with nofollow (ie, it’s simply easier to just moderate comments with links in them as blogging software such as Wordpress allows you to do), but goes a step further to claim that nofollow [...]

Link building gone wrong

Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: May 19th, 2006 Published in: Google, Link Building, Public Relations, Rants n Drama, Spam

Had a guy start an Internet arguement with me a while back – I deleted his spam from my forums, he copied my content and whatnot – all very lame.  Was slightly annoyed at the time (as he started targeting the same phrases as me on his own site).  But I have a low attention [...]

Link exchanges devalued by Google

Well not devalued as such, as they haven’t been of a great value for a while – but time was, sheer quantity of links would get you to where you are going.

Kill teh spammers!

Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: May 16th, 2006 Published in: Advertising, Marketing, Public Relations, Rants n Drama, Search Engine Optimisation, Spam

Some people really annoy me and those people are usually spammers.  I’m not talking about autogenerated sites / keyword stuffing / whatever – I can ignore that (and am at times secretly impressed + jealous of the technical skills of the people behind it).
