Comments on: Looking for Spam? Search for Something on Google (and Blame SEO) http://dailydeceit.com/google-spam-blame-seo#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed Your Source Of Uncovered Bullshit Thu, 27 May 2010 13:18:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Matthew Carlson http://dailydeceit.com/google-spam-blame-seo/comment-page-1#comment-57 Matthew Carlson Sat, 09 Jan 2010 02:53:45 +0000 http://singulartechnologies.com/?p=850#comment-57 Good points, but I think SEO pros are doing a real service helping to clarify what is and is not important with respect to how people search for data. It's like we're working together with the search engine companies to give birth to a beautiful baby, a global intelligence of sorts. Keep pushing forward...never mind that the front page looks right now like a huge Amazon ad...it will change with time, and evolve. It's good. I'm working in SEO trying to move it all forward. Major questions: How do you drive traffic to a site? How do you get traffic to a site when a 10 year old can build something as beautiful as the NY Times website in a week? And probably put together more interesting content too! Content is important, but to what extent? What would your algorithm use for search factors? Keywords (density to an extent), relevant words in the subject, links from other relevant sites in the same niche...could go on. This could lead to an interesting conversation.
