It appears inbox spam knows no bounds, even on this sacred of grounds
-
LOL! I guess she's not into girls, which is fine by me! LOL!
-
I'm afraid it's looking that way Ryan... she fooled us all.
-
Dunamis is also a cartoon in real life
-
Sarah is a whole lotta woman, one man, even SEO titans like ourselves, is simply not enough for her lusty appetites. Or something like that.
-
Neither did I. We're both female, and our avatars reflect that, which might be why.
-
Wait. Are you saying Sarah's ovations of my suaveness are insincere?!
-
Weird. She never sent one to me.
-
Ha, I got one also, she is playing the field chaps!
-
I'm all about kicking ass.
-
I would imagine EGOL is a good fighter. You've made a wise decision Steve.
-
lol no it's okay it's me and my paranoia... I can't resist with the jokes sometimes and then I panic in case my sense of humour is a bit dark and might offend people.
But on that, there's no way I'd get into a who is the cutest competition with EGOL. I pick my battles carefully so that I can win
(Wouldn't fist fight him either, had my ass kicked before and it wasn't pleasant)
-
Ahh my fault for not reading it properly. I feel really bad though as I still haven't got my message from Sarah!
-
Sorry Steve...I may have jumped the gun. I think it's the mom in me seeing a potential looming problem. I could just picture you and EGOL having a fistfight over who Sarah likes more.
-
Oh, sorry... what did I do?
-
Got it in mine and as soon as I did, reported it to tech support as spam. Got to help keep the moz a spam-free zone!
-
LOL! Boys, play nice!
-
Lately I've been getting a lot of emails telling me that the domain name that I use is about to be taken over by someone else and I need to use this company in order to be able to keep it.
It's a bit of a concern though that people are using seomoz profile data to email you.
Or then again, maybe Sarah thinks you're cute.
EDIT: Maybe she thinks you're cute and she also thinks EGOL is cute.
-
Steve, that's a good way to get the "thumbs down".
-
I'm hurt... she's obviously been two timing us
-
Even in your SEOmoz inbox? I mean yeah I get tonnes to my normal email but this is a first for me to get one actually on this site.
Haha, yeah I've had a few million headed for my bank account if I'm willing to provide the details too. I've been tempted to give it to them for comedy value, just so they get excited only to find out there's nothing in my bank lol.
Hard to believe but I guess some people must really fall for that stuff, or they wouldn't keep doing it.
Still, Sarah sounds lovely hey?!
-
I got it.
-
I didn't get that email but I do get emails like that from time to time,usually asking for money for a 'flight' to see me!
I also get emails from people on occasion informing me that a distant relative of mine has died and they want to give me my share of it ; quite a good deal actually - all I have to do is give over all my bank details and they'll transfer the 200 million.

Ever seen this tactic when trying to get rid of bad backlinks?
I'm trying to get rid of a Google penalty, but one of the URLS is particularly bizarre. Here's the penalized site: http://www.travelexinsurance.com. One of the external links Google cited as not being natural that links to the penalized site is: http://content.onlineagency.com/index.aspx?site=6599&tide=769006&last=3111516 In the backlink profile of the penalized site, there are about 100 different backlinks pointing to www.travelexinsurance.com from content.onlineagency.com/... So when I visit http://content.onlineagency.com/index.aspx?site=6599&tide=769006&last=3111516 it actually is displaying content from http://www.starmandstravel.com/787115_6599.htm, which you can see after clicking the "Home" button. That company is a legit travel agency who I assume knows nothing about content.onlineagency.com and is not involved in whatever is going on. And that's the case for every link from content.onlineagency.com. So I'm just wondering if someone can help me understand what sort of tactic content.onlineagency.com is using. One of my predecessors I fear used some black hat tactics. I'm wondering if this is a remnant of that effort.

Is it worth getting links from .blogspot.com and .wordpress.com?
Our niche ecommerce site has only one thing going for it: We have numerous opportunities on a weekly basis to get reviews from "mom bloggers". We need links - our domain authority is depressing. My concern is that these "mom bloggers" tend to have blogs that end with .blogspot.com or .wordpress.com. How do I screen for "reviewers" that are worth getting links from and how can I make the most of the community we have available to us?

Can I just delete pages to get rid of bad back-links to those pages?
I just picked up a client who had built a large set of landing pages (1000+) and built a huge amount of spammy links to them (too many to even consider manually requesting deletion for from the respective webmasters). We now think that google may also be seeing the 'landing pages' as 'doorway pages' as there are so many of them 1000+ and they are all optimized for specific keywords and generally pretty low quality. Also, the client received an unnatural links found email from google. I'm going to download the links discovered by google around the date of that email and check out if there are any that look specifily bad but I'm sure it will be just one of the several thosand bad links they built. Anyway, they are now wanting to clean up their act and are considering deleting the landing/doorway pages in a hope to a. rank better for the other non landing/doorway pages (Ie category and sub cats) but more to the crux of my question.. b. essentially get rid of all the 1000s of bad links that were built to those landing/doorway pages. - will this work? if we just remove those pages and use 404 or 410 codes will google see any inbound (external) links to those pages as basicly no longer being links to the site? or is the TLD still likely to be penilized for all the bad links coming into no longer existing URLs on it? Also, any thoughts on whether a 404 or 410 would be better is appreciated. Some info on that here: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=64033 I guess another option is the disavow feature with google, but Matt Cutts video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=393nmCYFRtA&feature=em- kind of makes it sound like this should just be used for a few links, not 1000s... Thanks so much!!!!

Anyone else noticing that their expired domains have lost PR?
A while back I experimented with buying some expired domains that had some PR. I built a small website on each and created content with anchor text that linked back to my main site. For one of my sites I noticed a significant drop in rankings this week. At first I thought it was because of the latest Panda update. But, the drop was slow, not sudden like most Panda hits have been. Then, I noticed that some of my previously purchased domains that had held their PR for quite a while are now PR N/A. I'm guessing that the latest algorithm change caught on to what I was doing. Probably what I was doing was grey hat. I honestly think that every SEO goes through a period where they try out some grey or even black tactics. This makes me even more desiring to be completely White hat now....and build links that are going to last. I was just wondering if any of you guys have experienced anything like this this week? Would love to hear your thoughts. EDIT: A second question - What would you guys do with these domains? They're still in the Google index so they're not penalized, likely just stripped of PR. Would you scrap them completely? Remove the links back to my sites? Do nothing?
