Google Plus pages allow do follow links with anchor texts. I wonder how long this will last for? I built up a ton of Youtube channels with high PR back when those were do-follow, now Google is rolling out new channel layouts with no-follow links. I don't want to make the same mistake again and...

Does anyone else believe that the "Panda algorithm updates" are bullshit and that they are just the results from the massive manual rating teams Google pays to constantly evaluate and re-evaluate search results? I think there is a small amount of input from some new algorithmic change, but that...

Are backlinks that come from websites with verified Google Places listings more trusted than regular websites? I ask because I have the ability to make quite a few verified Google Places, and I'm wondering if it might be worthwhile to create a verified listing for each of the websites in the top...

How valid are the claims that Google will track you if you use your Google accounts to engage in blackhat seo? Using chrome for your browser...using gmail accounts to sign up for 2.0's...stuff like that. Even if G did notice a pattern, I doubt the backlink dilution would be very severe. Has...
