Is Andy Beard Getting een Ruwe Overeenkomst? | (Het Soort rant-Y maar heeft een Punt)
Dank u voor het bezoeken!
Wij zouden houden van achter u opnieuw te zien. U kunt intekenen door RSS voer, of krijg updates per e-mail.
Wegens het aantal posten die aan vraag Google erachter en/of toepassing die van hun beleid worden gemaakt redeneren, wil ik enkel een paar dingen ophelderen alvorens ik binnen bij mijn diatribe op deze kwestie begin.
Nummer één, ben ik niet het bashing Google. Ik haat het wanneer de mensen enkel nutteloos voor geen doel buiten klagen om aandacht te krijgen. Als u controverse gaat omhoog bewegen, hebben een reden. Dat is alle ik vraagt.
Nummer twee, deze kwestie is belangrijk genoeg voor me dat als het spreken uit dat ik al mijn verkeer zou verliezen Google, ik betekende met dat fijn zou zijn. Ik word vrij een weinig het van mijn het rangschikken, en het voorziet me van vele abonnees die in mijn verkoopsysteem stromen. Zo zou het een klap, maar niet zo veel van één zijn die ik voor mijn mama zou schreeuwen.
Nochtans, zou ik niet denken het eerlijk, of juist was. Als er één ding blogosphere is en socialsphere ons zou moeten onderwijzen is dat wij aan onze klant zouden moeten luisteren terugkoppelt of het goed of slecht is, zolang het van aard constructief is, zonder hen met één of andere nevelige sanctie te bedreigen voor het niet akkoord gaan met ons.
Ik zeg te zeggen enkel dit, als u een verkeersdeskundige bent, of een deskundige SEO en u leest deze posten over de mogelijke oneerlijkheid van Google… en zij verstoren u…. en u spreekt niet over het want de vrees om uw verkeer te verliezen… gelieve niet me te vertellen. U zou heel wat eerbied in mijn ogen verliezen.
O.k., dat alles, dit is gezegd hebben de situatie.
Andy Beard, een deskundige SEO die grote dingen voor doet gebied marketing en het blogging communautaire online, is gestraft door Google . It used to be that if you got penalized by Google, you very clearly and distinctly were taking a hit or wrist slap for doing something borderline. You stayed in the index but lost some of your privileges.
The thing is, I don’t see that Andy has clearly violated any of Google’s policies. And meanwhile, spam is getting worse, and content people can actually use to improve their web properties is buried. If this was going down on the street, I’d say a big gang was trying to take down its rivals.
And it would be a dangerous game to play because losing your search results doesn’t have to be a major hit to your business if you know all the other avenues of being successful online. Search engine traffic is great and I’m grateful for what I have. But wasn’t the fact that Yahoo’s inclusion and exclusion policies were so unclear part of the reason Google was able to grab the top position from them in the first place? Or is that just me?
Let me give you a quote from Andy’s blog to further illustrate my point:
Fair enough, for those people who have been caught selling links primarily for boosting search engine results.
The funny thing is I have seen so many blogs today that are selling Text Links who have not received a penalty, yet lots of sites that write high quality paid reviews penalized.
I am referring to the PR6+ sites with 10 or more text links in the sidebar that are totally off topic.
As per my previous article, I don’t believe this should cover editorial links that are given during a review that is a form of consultancy. I have always made that clear that that is the purpose of my reviews.
It really does seem I am being penalized based upon the Payment processor and market-place I display most prominently, PayPerPost, though I have seen a few sites that display other Paid Post badges also hit heavily.
The most prominent PayPerPost writers seem to have been hit the hardest.
He hasn’t done anything that is even borderline, while poeple blatantly violating policies are retaining their positions.
Does Google really think it’s a good public policy to hit the types of businesses that encourage people to buy pay per click ads on Google? And why does Google hate paid links so much when that’s essential what AdWords is, paying for link placement? Do they just not realize the problem?
Is Google the only company allowed to sell links and be listed in their index?
These are not rhetorical questions — if that’s Google’s policy, they should just tell us, very clearly. At the end of the day Google can do what it damn well pleases.
So can we. If there aren’t visitors to Google, and there aren’t customers who buy ad space at Google, there IS no Google. And I’ll very painfully close all my Google accounts and take my business elsewhere.
Just in case you think I’m a nut with where I’m going, read what Jennifer at Search Engine Guide is saying when she addresses a corrollary issue that has to do with No Follow. Or this one over at Blogger’s Journey.
Read Andy’s two posts about this issue, and tell me, do you think he’s getting a raw deal? Am I crazy for thinking he doesn’t deserve this? I don’t think Andy’s livelihood is at stake here, but man, what if it was — for not doing anything wrong? What would you do?

100% agreed. As long as a link is relevant to the topic (or in Andy’s case even an editorial link), it shouldn’t matter wether it’s paid or not.
I’m not gonna quote my whole post on this, just this much:
If it is possible to base the price of an AdWords ad on a quality score, then Google should be able to judge links by something that really counts - relevance.

Hey send me the link to your post and I’ll add a link to it in the post body. I want to link to everyone who is specifically talking about this incident and ones like it.

Hey Tinu, the link is http://bloggersjourney.com/why-google-shouldnt-care-about-paid-links/.
And thanks for the welcome
October 10th, 2007 at 6:05 am
Done. And you’re welcome. … and I don’t get your logo. It says “create your own blog” which gives me the impression that it’s a tool, rather than a blog… what’s up with that?
Nuts. I meant to set you a trackback link and now I have to go out…
October 10th, 2007 at 6:12 am
The blog’s there to help people who want to create their own blog.
Okay, and I wanted a memorable, dynamic tagline.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:30 am
But that’s kind of my point though, the tagline is memorable but confusing. I’d do a poll if I were you, or add something that specifies tips. Just my two cents… I spend a good ten minutes looking for the “create blog” button.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:51 am
Hmm, good idea. I wanted to install a poll plugin anyway. Would be a nice first run.
Thanks for the hint. I’ll try to come up with some alternatives now.
October 10th, 2007 at 10:53 am
No problem. Glad it didn’t come across as nosy or nitpicky.
October 10th, 2007 at 11:53 am
Oh, no. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

When you go to many webmaster forums. it is obvious that many people can’t see past the Google page rank. They seem obsessed with scoring higher even at the expense of the visitors of their site. For this Google often chastises those webmasters, you see many posts of that sort in Matt Cutts blog.
It’s interesting that Google likewise can’t see past it’s own ranking system. They feel that everything you do must have something to do with Page Rank. A good example are reviews. It’s not difficult to see the difference between blogs that offer an objective review and others that are just doing it to pass PR. Google seems to forget that the whole reason for having a blog is to share your opinion, that opinion can include other sites.
Newspapers, magazines and a host of other formats all have both paid views and paid advertisements. Google appears to feel that, on the internet, they are the only ones that can get paid to advertise. And if you are horning in on their market, like a schoolyard bully, they plan on making life rough for you.
