Crankydave: From Wikipedia.
"Worship usually refers to specific acts of religious praise, honour, or devotion, typically directed to a supernatural being such as God, a god or goddess."

My point stands. I am trying to help the poor chap who started this thread and get out of the world of theory. People online are scared to doing anything that might anger the gods and the God in this case is Google.

MJ said that she and I were on different planets and that her planet was not fear based.
When I ask for a domain to apply "cracks in the Google infrastructure" that Google has known about for at least 3 years and been unable to handle or correct, she responds with, "no thanks."

I call that FEAR. (and I say that with complete respect.)

If you and MJ want to continue to drink the Google Kool Aid that's cool.

Everybody has an opinion for what this guy should do to get his site back on track with with the might "G." Thrown more links at the page, get a site map, revise your title tags, etc.

Anytime that I criticize Google I get attacked. Yet Google who has hurt this guys livelihood gets off sky free, provides no explanation.


Did he do something wrong?

Maybe? I dunno. It is all circumstantial. If so, why is it so difficult for a search engine with the technical prowess of the Mighty G to communicate what the wrongdoing might have been?

Yet if you have been SEO for any period of time you will quickly realize that sometimes you can do everything right but one small iota can absolutely shipwreck a campaign and stop you from getting traffic.

So let me review the crime scene...

Google takes his copyrighted information without asking permission for it.
Arbitrarily indexes it.
When they feel they have something better they throw him to the dogs.


Repeat, Lather and Rinse.

I think the video link I shared earlier....nails it.
