Matt, I own www.MySolitaire.com and had over 30 sites (Mostly mispellings) that were not doing redirects, so since my traffic just went so much down since google penalized me.. i have done 301 redirects. Also, did reinclusion request, but still no where.. Now i am starting to thing that i had bought 4 links from one site, and that might be the reason. Can you advise if buying links from site like www.hadeseh.com was a mistake. I was offered this link by a friend, and thought it would not only get my traffic up, but also my PR. Now, i have requested those links to come down and am still waiting to do so. Please advise, i am in any help that i can get. Matt;

I made sure they had “nofollow” but in less than one week after my links are live. bam google drops my keywords and my site is getting now traffic. I kinda thought these would be safe links.. as i didnt care about PR or messing with the SE's I was simply looking for traffic.. whats a guy to do these days...

Ya... if you like getting 5% or less clicks for the term 1.9 sucks 2.1 would be better... probably more clicks from people skipping spammed out front page. “Dude, Danny, what are you bitching about you are #9 in Google for the phrase “Book Reviews” isn’t that alone a big thing?”

I got this cool SEO mouse-over thingy that you just rub over a page of links and see how someone is doing in Google, Yahoo and MSN. :D Dude, Danny, what are you bitching about you are #9 in Google for the phrase “Book Reviews” isn’t that alone a big thing?

All I want are links that bring interested people - but hardly anyone ever links to my book reviews these days :-(. I gave up worrying about page rank ages ago.

People say what you write is a unnoficial heads up on what google is up to, but you yourself say that its your personal blog, and what you write on it IS NOT YOUR EMPLOYERS OPINION. Therefore, google must WANT everyone to do what you say is wrong, otherwise it would be there opinion wouldn't it? Perhaps its time some REAL clarification was given to people, either say what you write really is your employers opinion , OR categorically state that what you write has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH GOOGLE and stop writing about things that people are clearly taking as your employers opinion. Covering your back, but still claiming all the credit strikes me as you wanting your cake, and eating it too. Which is it, your opinion or googles? And if its NOT googles opinion, why do you not speak up and tell people clearly to stop using you as the official crystal ball / spokesperson for google? Its only confusing people, lots of people - and thats just causing people to guess, or panic, or worse. So I take it this means everyone should be using paid links, and not using no follow?
