Not bad, PageRank 6 links with targetted anchor texts. Google sure knows how to reward its clients.
Sphunn not for the MC vs MG aspect, but because that post (with all those comments) should be required reading for all SEOs. Tons of good information in there. Matt should be commended for publishing it, working so hard on the feedback, and allowing such characteristic cameos from Doug and Michael.Bravo all around. Good show, and didactic to boot!
I have also submitted a recap based on the great info Matt Cutts provided on that thread.How To Recover From Google Paid Links Penaltyhttp://sphinn.com/story/16988
I got to say thanks to Michael for that one.
"graywolf, I appreciate your efforts to find some way to accuse Google of bad behavior, but that was a normal editorial blog post."its not so much bad behavior as much as it is contradictory and failing policy.and im glad that matt admits that normal editorial practices do take place when there is money involved when links are created. despite matt claiming that "I double-checked and the Google Checkout team linked with what they thought was accurate text, and no money was involved," the link wouldnt exist if golfballs.com wasnt a google customer making google money--thats the reason theyre on the page to begin with. the policy just doesnt scale--if a site is called a directory, youre not buying a link on a page youre buying "someones time to review your site for placement in their directory"
