<description><![CDATA[WTNH News Channel 8 weatherman Geoff Fox's site disappears from Google's index apparently after a hack job.Geoff writes: &quot;Holy crap. Google has blacklisted me. I've already filled out a form, begging to be reconsidered, though I don't know what I did wrong. Google won't tell. Maybe Google isn't God, but it sure acts like it. I'm just a little schlemiel with a simple website. What if my livelihood depended on this?&quot;<br/><br/>9 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Stoney: &quot;I've always been a baby steps kind of guy when it comes to SEO. According to Google, they, and probably other engines too, look at over 200 different signals when it comes to analyzing pages for rankings. To attempt to optimize each of these signals perfectly would require a significant amount of work and continuous tweaking in order to find the &quot;perfect&quot; combination. Or let me put it another way, the task of creating the perfectly optimized page is darn near impossible.&quot;<br/><br/>19 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While opponents of Google's War on Paid Links advance their agenda by building emotionally charged house of cards, John Biundo cuts through the crap, calling for a reasoned debate:&quot;I'm truly puzzled by this. Don't get me wrong -- I have no problem with Gray publicly proclaiming his disdain for Google's policies...But I really don't see any legal or ethical basis, or regulatory precedent, for saying that Google should neither freely determine how it ranks web sites nor be able enact a policy that those who engage in practices that it finds damaging to its brand will be penalized.&quot;<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>
