Aaron Wall on preemptive spam penalties and Google’s relationship with SEO companies.

“Google is determined to make any scalable link building process black hat. It won’t be long before all off topic link bait, including articles, is considered link spam.” Read more –>

Theres a lot of question comes on my mind; Are widgets spam? Why does Google comes down so much harder on individual SEO than Corporations? How far could Google go?

Trading freebies for links seems very fair to me. I don’t think we are violating Google on this kind of practice. I know now why some people prefers:

• outsource SEO kept confidential
• use companies to market widgets and applications

Google moves is really unpredictable nor unstoppable, they always refine algorithm to give so called “relevant search result” to the users. Are we really getting relevant results nowadays? Trying to banned websites as many as they can.

I want to share this one comment on Aaron’s post:

“Personally I think that Google is the organization that needs to be more transparent. If the rules as they defined them are not being applied universally than there are ethics issues at hand. Favoritism and discrimination are strong words but this smells bad to me. Are SEOs being descriminated against? Aaron described it as “arbitrary judgement” but I think there is more to it. If you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig… right?

Unfortunately we all get a taste of that harsh reality at some point in our lives (not all people are treated equally….shocker). The reality is the corporations with the deepest pockets will play by different rules as they always have and always will. It is simple economics Google answers to the stockholders and the almighty dollar.  by ourmonmouth“

I totally agree with that comment. It is clear that Google is abusing power.
