Putting the "Free" debate aside, Twitter has grown into a tremendous resource for many businesses. As such, when Twitter says, it will be fixed Monday, they damn well better have it fixed Monday. If they don't, they, at the very least, need to notify the affected users.
It's a matter of accountability. If Twitter ceases to be accountable, it ceases to be viable. There are other platforms out there and Twitter isn't even the best channel for near real-time social communication. It's just the noisiest.
Sure, these are probably just growing pains for Twitter, but given all the other pains, one has to question how long Twitter will remain viable as a communication channel.
Duplicate post. See: http://sphinn.com/story/89412 which was posted 2 days ago.
Why do we need yet another thread/blog post about the discussion that is already quite active on sphinn. Not sphinn-worthy content.
Self promotion is part of SEM and SMM, but this is rather blatant and self-serving. It doesn’t add value to the industry at all.
I don’t believe paid posts have a place here, regardless of the standalone merit.
CMS systems are as SEO-friendly as you make them. This submit is a couple years late.
Much adieu about nothing. Terms are in place that give Google and millions of other sites the right to do this. This isn’t news. This isn’t even interesting.
Ok, this damn form is pissing me off. A rip-off is rip-off, I don’t need 50-200 characters to call someone a dumbass!
Desphinning for the simple fact that more than a couple of the people on the bandwagon were just pumping Guy up last year. Another one bites the dust. Move on.
Indeed. I wondered if anyone else would feel that way as well. I suppose I could have fleshed it out as 4 posts, but I felt it best to condense it into one to emphasize the intended message.Glad you liked the info, even if it was a bit "taped together" ;)
At first glance, I was going to desphinn this. It seemed rather common sense. However, after reading your points and the points made by Matt, I can see where a newcomer to SEO and web design would fail this basic common sense link test. Sadly, I’ve seen many do the very examples given.Common sense for the savvy, but not common sense for the average.Thanks for sharing.
Google Deletes ... Yes Deletes Posts from Bloggers Accounts... That violate their Terms, which you must agree to when signing up.Now, when Sphinn deletes posts on this site for the same reason, it’s not news.When any of the thousands of forum owners delete posts on their site for the same reason, it’s not news.But, when Google, rightfully, delets a post that violates their terms, which you knowingly agree to when signing up, it’s news.Sigh...
This reads like an advert. CMS systems are as SEF as you make them. Wordpress, ImpressCMS, XOOPS, Drupal, Joomla!, Plone, et al have methods of providing SEF pages. The *real* question, IMHO is when will self-proclaimed SEOs learn enough about what is available on the market to know how to leverage the strengths and weaknesses of each offering to benefit the client? If you truly understand each program, you know what it can and cannot do and you know that most major CMS cystems available today are capable of producing highly SEF results in the hands of a competent developer.Desphunn for ignorance of the modern CMS market!
The tiitle says it all. If Google doesn’t need a sitemap, why call it an error.
I’ve run 20 sites through this technique, each returned accurate data. I’ve also had associates who live in other parts of the world test this technique themselves with known sites. Again, accurate results were returned.This begs the question... what other little toolbar tricks are there?

Donna, This is a fantastic initiative that I fully support. As mentioned on Dave’s blog, I too am willing to answer the challenge and would like to pledge 5 hours technical training and/or support to these 12 individuals. Details are on Dave’s blog.Two big thumbs up for this initiative!

I almost lost it over the Passion one. Reminds me of the good ol’ days back in college. :)Edit: I just realized how utterly pathetic that sounds. lol!
While not comprehensive, it is a very good starting point for many industries. Some might argue it common sense, but we’ve all seen how uncommon common sense can be. ;)
From: DivisiveCottonwood "God this makes a change from the usual Ann Smarty dribble to be found on here - original research that offers invaluable advice" You, sir, have just exhibited a perfect example of how to loose friends and piss off people. The last thing you want to do when inexperienced in a community is go insulting leading contributors, especially when your history is so obviously pathetic. Furthermore, I have yet to see something posted by Ann Smarty that was not of genuine value. What have you posted that is worth something?Please, go crawl back under the rock you came from. And btw... Spammers abuse "DoFollow" blogs. I suppose you’re the dumbass I keep getting Google spreadsheet referrals from. You seem to like that topic.
