Why Google has to work very hard

I wrote a description where I tried to explain link schemes and the affect they have on a web site. I was pleased to see that within just a couple of days, my description was on the first page of Google results when one searches for "link schemes".

But check out what else is on that first page. Here is a website that defines link schemes as something very different...

This non-profit group in the UK has a wonderful outreach program designed to help elderly persons in the community. Here is how they define "link scheme"...

"Link schemes are community based initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life for disadvantaged, elderly or infirm people by providing a structured good neighbour service delivered by volunteers from within the local community."

See their "link scheme" page.

Just thought it was a funny example of where a search term that has one meaning to most people may have other meanings. Google works pretty good at this type of thing.

Another example is "spam". The over riding use of the word "spam" is not the luncheon meat in a can, but go to Google and search for "spam" and you will see what I mean.

Google recommends that you "avoid" link schemes, but I do not think they mean these. :)

The other reason that Google has to work hard is because of SEOmoz, who are shamelessly attempting to alter the virginal pristinity of Google's results by promoting a contest in which the words Greatest Living American are linked to a page that promotes Colbert of the Colbert repor. I am utterly opposed to this sort of nonsense so I absolutely refuse to participate in the Greatest Living American experiment. It would be way below me to promote the nonsense that can be found here
If the author of this wants to be taken seriously, I suggest using a name that doesn't have "fish" in it.

New Descriptions!

Ever wonder what a "sneaky redirect" is, or just what a redirect is in the first place?

Redirects and the Google guidelines

Another commonly asked question is "what does Google mean by a 'bad neighborhood' or a 'link scheme'?"

I have made a new page that tries to answer that, in my newest description of a guideline....

Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank.

Wanna know about Badware and the Google guidelines?

Don't create pages that install viruses, trojans, or other badware.

Thank you

Hello all, I just want to say thank you to all the people out there who have been using and linking to my website feedthebot.com

Matt Cutts was kind enough to give me a mention, which was wonderful and led to over a thousand visits to my site each day for a few days. I like that.

Many people have been saying alot of great things and I appreciate them all. I will be updating my "about" page on feedthebot to let everyone know that I am often away from computers for weeks at a time ( I travel alot for my other website twizi.com )

As a result of my travel, I sometimes do not check my emails for a long time so my apologies to those I haven't responded to, I will do so soon.
