The bottom line is do what is right for you and your blog. Don’t get too caught up in safe theories.

Could not agree with that more, so many people get so hung up on the ethics and the ifs and buts of all the paid link junk.

At the end of the day, decide if its worth the risk for you. Some bs niche sites are worth the paid link risk, but you might want to watch your back in a niche with people who know about paid links, because they’ll report you to death.

Google actions are always giving difficulties to Blog Owners. Content is the key factor but for me, first is the design of your site..to be attractive is the first thing, second is content.

I hear that David, yet at the same time what they ask of us is often different to how they apply things themselves. There is no uniformity, they make scapegoats out of people and generally attack and pour scorn at will, via some scattergun approach of shoot and ask questions later.

All that do no evil nonsense is being shown for exactly what is. I cant believe that I once bought into it, I must have been similarly insane.

What they did to you was appalling, granted- they let you back in and I was pleased for you that they did, but really it wasn’t that necessary to do what they did in the way that they did. Christ you were hardly being a JohnChow and saying “hey, look what I do to manipulate google” yet the reality is that they have IMHO developed a bunker mentality that does everything it can to show that it’s really THEY who control the SERPs and not the actions of what someone does or gets others to do on their websites, when the reality is that that is EXACTLY what the case is, it is relatively simple to rank a site in their index, which isnt any poor reflection on them, its just the way it is. The good stuff that gets there is often on topic and relevant, so where’s the harm? They invite people to SEO their stuff, and then kick them in the goolies when through their actions they get there! All SEO is manipulation to a degree, yet they say don’t take actions designed to manipulate our SERPS. It’s insane, really it is. Someone needs to bang them on the side of the head and say, hey nthe games up we all know you know, quit with the pretending that your fab algo is teflon. But they can’t of course, cos to do so would lead to a probable collapse of confidence and see the whole house begin to crumble around its edifice, so…it has no choice other than to continue, with the whole controlly attacky stance it takes.

They’ve too much power for a private company. The internet is essentially a public utility that they’ve began to monopolise and dictate to the people who make up i’ts constituents. Ive no idea what the solution is, but it’s in need of some redress, be it through governmental control or a drastic overhaul of how their text dependant algorithm works.

Transparency is the best policy, without doubt. Before I received a Google penalty, the information was already there that could’ve prevented it. However, it wasn’t listed in a way that made it easy for me to come across.

The fact was, I wasn’t looking for it. I was reading information that made it seem fine to use the processes I did.

I hope you’re enjoying the weekend buddy.

Thanks David,

I do wonder sometimes how some of us, me included, tend to get pulled into shoals or swarms and follow blindly in the mistaken belief that there’s this strength in numbers thing and if it’s ok for John and Fred then it’s ok for me too. When the traffic providers behave in inconsistant ways, or remain silent on certain things because they can, then it just muddys everything and creates confusion and chaos. They need to stop that.
