I am so glad I found your blog when I did. You answer so many questions that I have been asking for a long time. As far as the 2009 tips – they make me see things in a totally different light. I run an article site but have so questions about what would violate Google’s policies. We make sure all articles are unique, grammatically correct and also make sure that there are not more than two links per article. Links are only allowed in the resource box etc.

It might be too much to ask but is there anything else that we should watch out for. We are concerned about outgoing links to other sites that may have been penalized by Google. Right now we do not allow links from sites that have been gray barred by Google. Nor do we allow affiliate links.

Thanks so much!

Hey matt, not sure if you are gonna read this comment but I will probably send in an e-mail also…

How come this site after being suspended for over 1+ years is still top 5 in serps for a certain keyword as well as others?

Matt,
I just want to thank you for making my job so much easier. Before I found you and your blog I had a very hard time explaining many of the questions you answer in your posts and videos.

You have a way of simplifying some of the things even the most sophistacated people have a hard time understanding. Keep up the good work. I hope you do not mind that I syndicate many of your videos on my on blog here: Miva Merchant best practices blog

Thanks again Matt.

Google is contradicting itself if it wants freshly updated sites and then sandboxes them…

Hi Matt,

You’re hilarious! I’m happy you shared this, because it showed me we should have we should have been listening to you more carefully back in 2007.

Now I’m really mad at myself for not attending WordCamp 2009. Looking forward to those slides!

Matt,

The video and presentation really helped. But i have question about URL re-writing.
Can we use /index.php/abc, /index.php/cde e.t.c. in all URL’s for our site. As according to your statement, URL’s doesn’t matter until or unless they are writing in right form like usage of post names separated with dashes and putting limitation to special characters.
Can anyone please advice.
