Thanks for the clarity. I have so many people pushing for the email marketing but each and every time I shoot it down simply because you never know where the names actually came from, They always tell me that they are opt in and are looking for our products but they never seem to look me in the whites of my eyes when they say that. Your video lets me know that spammers are alive and well and I will stay away for dark short cuts if you know what I mean – seems like nothing but heart ache there.

Thanks for the nice Video (btw. I like your artful slides).
Talking about losing a domain or more exactly about “Expiration Date”.
I renew my domain every year so the Expiration Date is just one year away. Now, on so some shinny SEO Blog, I read that this could affect my rankings because it is more likely that the Google algorithm puts more trust in a domain paid 3 years in advance than a domain that’s only paid for one year. My webhost hasn’t this feature to pay in advance, should I move?

i am concerned about directories, if someone running a directory and have a lots of links going out. do not you think it is best to use nofollow to all of them? nofollow is non trusted link, does it make any difference to pointed location.if a website have a lot of nofollow links point towards its, does google take any action against it or just ignored it?

Matt:

What an informative video; I am not a webmaster and found the information presented ‘basic’ enough that even a Marketer could understand. Thank you for taking the time to represent this information.

Matt, I just loved the video and really liked the way you explained the different ways spammers can attack a site and the concept of virtual blight. Seems I can never get enough of your insights. Thanks Matt.

You want to nofollow the links that (say) you don’t want to vouch for, where the links are not trusted,

BUT if you do trust a site and they do wrong, you are lumped into their “bad neighborhood”, correct? I’ll take no answer as a “Yes”.
