Yeah I here that Mr. greeneagle, thank God this is a hobby/learning thing for me, if I had to support my family with this up and down roller coaster ride it would be insane.
It's also funny that the 301/302 redirect thing is coming up now, 2 years ago when I didn't even know how to send email, I was extremely bothered about why Google was getting the godaddy 302 redirect all f'd up on my first website. I visited all the forums, contacted google and nobody was interested in the issue so after much search I found the answer. The site needed a 301 redirect, my host (Godaddy) refused to put it in place so I moved the site. After googlebot was pointed at WWW my fortune changed and the website got noticed.
I guess my point is that this stuff still can all get hosed with just a few changes in Google. In Matt's blog they have just started to discuss and look into "redirects" which makes me believe this whole thing is still in it's infancy. Google shouldn't have to invite spammers to parties to get to know how they manipulate them, they should hire a few who would like to grow the hell up and work for a cool company.
WMW? Isn't that the lame forum you have to pay to get into? It is a bit tempting but I refuse to pay to chat and blah blah blah about this stuff, in fact it's getting too painful and I might disappear for another year or two. How about you?
