God, you guys haven’t learned anything.

If you want to lure Matt out of his hidey-hole, you have to let out the Cutts call.

Hang on, I’ll find him.

>Tahder Said,
>>eCommerce (no hat) sites that are selling 20 different lengths of widgets a1…z99 are having 90% of pages shifted to supplemental.

I hear ya. And there is only so much one can write about this type of product (same type, different Mfgs, that sort of thing). If I were to add more content to those product pages, I would be doing it purely for Search Engines, NOT USERS! I have to believe Google is aware of this.

RE: “Sooo, If for example, Yahoo, MSN and ASK were all to allow hidden links…”

There is no IF Lots0. If you having to resort to If scenarios your argument is non-existent. All I can say to that is, IF my Grandma had balls, she be my Grandpa

RE: “Remember ONLY the search engines determine what is or is not search engine spam in their index.”

Yes the do and that is why I say it’s Unethical to blatantly go outside them in an effort to trick Google into a better SERP.

RE: “Anyone can build any page any way they want, if google does not want that page in their index it is googles problem and not the author of the pages problem, even if that page is designed specifically to go against the search engines guidelines.”

Yes, of course people CAN do certain things. That however does not automatically mean it’s ethical.

So far I have not read or seen anything to convince me that SE are ethical in their actions. Feel free to have the last say.

Where’s Matt? Trying to sort out the gigantic mess that is Big Daddy. That’s my guess. After all, it’s beginning to look like over-zealous anti-spamming is at the root of the problem.

Weird isn’t it? Turns out the Web has a whole bunch of stuff in it that isn’t just carefully crafted “unique” copy aimed purely at attracting Google rankings and AdWord dollars. Who knew? A bunch of unique words cobbled together to give the semblance of “useful content” isn’t the be-all and end-all of merit out there in Web-land.

Now. If Google can just re-adjust their filters based on this revolutionary discovery and put back the millions of stupidly deleted pages, then maybe the Web can get back to being the useful place it used to be before Big Daddy.
