Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO
Example email to a hacked site
Beyond clear-cut blackhat webspam, the second-biggest category of spam that Google deals with is hacked sites. The most common reaction we hear from webmasters is “The problem is with the Google search. There is nothing wrong with our website.” That’s a real quote from an email one site owner recently sent us. Sadly, it turns [...]

I haven’t given an update on my 30 day challenges in, like, forever. So here goes: - In 2011, I paused my 30 day challenges to do a “six month challenge”: training to run a marathon. I ended up running the San Francisco marathon (while tweeting!) and a couple half-marathons. Pro tip: ramp up slowly [...]

Blog Comments should they be deleted – The When and Why of Comment Deletion
by paris911 on December 13, 2011
Deleting Blog comments is a very personal decision. It is always up to the Author of the Blog to decide if something that is left, is of value to his audience.
Some seemingly don’t care who comments and if those commenting are adding a ‘selfish’ plug about their business, that might not be anywhere near on topic. In the long run this does not help the Blog Operator – it hurts their indexing.
Here is a super short video I put together showing examples of some of the comments we get on our Main Real Estate Blog platform. With my Reasoning as to why I would keep or delete them.
After you watch the video, comment below. Do you agree that not all comments should be accepted? What about the unrelated ones, do they irritate you as well?
