This Forbes article describes Google hell (or supplemental hell as SEOs call it) with it's consequences. Read before you loose your business: http://www.forbes.com/2007/04/29/sanar-google-skyfacet-tech-cx_ag_0430googhell.html |
Here's Matt Cutts' response by the way: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-hell/ |
What Matt says is often true for some but neverthless lots of people out there just face the problems mentioned in the article on a large scale. The closed source approach by Google can never be thoroughly enough explained on a private blog of a Google employee. People world wide struggle. Google has to come clean and change its information policy. The webmaster tools are a good start.

this is the same issue that recently happened and was mentioned here..

I think the issue is not about the supplementary index /PR issue , rather its the lack of response and resolution that bugs the community. At the end of the day, its human interaction that paves the way for good relationships. No amount of scripts and content can really build that pathway.
The struggle will continue until users find a more lucrative and satisfying means of creating revenue's and then they will defect. Those are the laws of business. |
