You’re full of it, and the only reason I’m a “troll” is that I and others who don’t speak up see right through you. You’re not fooling anyone.

Adam we could have our Attorneys set up a contact and make the bet as big and as fair as you like.

Yes you are a troll and you should not make as many troll like comments as you do for years now on this site.

This. I don’t know who this guy is, but there are several people who could be well-served to read this particular comment.

I wish you could like/dislike stuff on WP comments like you can with Disqus. This comment deserves serious upvoting.

First of all, I don’t know why you keep telling people to make a bet with you. What would we be betting on? Whether you’re “correct”? Correct about what? And how exactly would we make this bet in a way that ensures that the winner gets paid off, given that we’re complete strangers to one another? The whole “bet” thing is absolutely ridiculous, and no sane human being would take you up on that3

I wouldn’t call you because it’s pointless. You’re full of it. If you weren’t full of it, you would have backed it up by now and posted an objective example publicly. It’s to your benefit as a “stockholder” (assuming that’s true, and I doubt that it is) to do so. Until you do that, you’re no better than the guys who post a comment and say “Google sux” and link to bing.com as their website.

You’re also full of it because of the contact info on your website. You wouldn’t use multiple Regus virtual offices to make your company look bigger than it actually is.

At least if you’re going to complain, be upfront about what you’re complaining about like the guy with the paintball site down below. I can emphasize with that guy a bit…he’s at least being honest.

Call me a troll, call me whatever you like, but I’m not the guy with a hidden agenda and I’m not the guy who’s done nothing but rant and rave about how disappointed I am about the Google results. Put up or shut up already.

Then I got hit by Panda in April 2011 and all of a sudden I went from a supposed authority to being a low quality crappy site. Not that Google was wrong to hit my site, I know all of the content was not my best quality, but it makes you feel like there is no point if one day Google thinks you are helpful (and my readers also thought I was helpful with their comments) and the next day you are considered the exact opposite.

What really bothers me about the updates too is that it’s not just about the content of what you have written. I mentioned in a earlier comment on another post by Matt Cutts that when I changed my theme to a new theme in 2012, my traffic suddenly doubled. It had nothing to do with the actual content. So is content really king?

Afterwards, I was happy to at least have some traffic back, but then in November 2012 thru April 2013, my traffic got cut in half again. Again, no clue why as my traffic had just doubled 6 months earlier.

Just imagine a workplace where you are considered a valuable part of the team one day and then the next day you come in and they make you the janitor. It just makes no sense and makes it really hard to spend all that time and energy only to be thrown up and down without having any clue what you did right or wrong.

Sites we manage that are all good, solid content and clearly presented actually seem to benefit from the updates.
