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.

Curious, have you ever had a client dispute your Moz Ranking Report?
one of my international clients from China does not believe that his site is now on page #2 for a national search term. He said he had a colleague search from a location in the United States and his site did not come up in any of the top 10 Google search page results. Suggest any ways to back ranking up? Maybe use an additional rank report? appreciate any/all suggestions. THanks! Chris

Why did this fabric site disappear for "fabric" and why can't we get it back?
Beverlys.com used to rank on the first page for "fabric." I'm trying to get the date of their demise, but don't have it yet so I can't pinpoint what Google update might have killed them but I can guess. In doing a backlink analysis, there were hundreds of poor quality, toxic sites pointing to them. We have carefully gone through them all and submitted a disavow request. They are now on page 9 from nowhere to be found a week ago. But, of course, that's not good enough. They are on page 2 for "fabric online" and "quilt fabric." So Google doesn't completely hate them. But doesn't love them enough even for those terms. Any suggestions? They are rebuilding the site to use a different ecommerce platform with new content and new structure. They will also be incorporating the blog within the site and I've advised them on many other ways to attract traffic and backlinks. That's coming. But for now, any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Something has got to be holding them back for that one gem of a keyword. Also, I would like to know what experiences others have had with the disavow request form. Does Google absolutely hold you to making every attempt you can at getting those links removed? ANd how does it know? No one responds so it seems to be such a waste of time. And many now actually charge to remove your links. Thoughts? Thanks everyone!

I'm Getting Attacked, What Can I Do?
I recently noticed a jump in my Crawl Errors in Google Webmaster Tools. Upon further investigation I found hundreds of the most spammy web pages I've ever seen pointing to my domain (although all going to 404 errors): http://blurchelsanog1980.blog.com/ http://lenitsky.wordpress.com/ These are all created within the last week. A. What the hell is going on? B. Should I be very concerned? (because they are 404 errors) C. What should my next steps be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What if White Hat SEO does not get results?
If company A is paying 5k a month and some of that budget is buying links or content that might be in the gray area but is ranking higher than company B that's following the "rules" and paying the same but not showing up at all, what's company B suppose to do?

Has anyone seen this kind of google cache spam before?
Has anyone seen this kind of 'hack'? When looking at a site recently I found the Google cache version (from 28 Oct) strewn with mentions of all sorts of dodgy looking pharma products but the site itself looked fine. The site itself is www.istc.org.uk Looking in the source of the pages you can see the home pages contains: Browsing as googlebot showed me an empty page (though msnbot etc. returned a 'normal' non-pharma page). As a mildly amusing aside - when I tried to tell the istc about this, the person answering the phone clearly didn't believe me and couldn't get me off the line fast enough! Needless to say they haven't fixed it a week after being told.

Opinions Wanted: Links Can Get Your Site Penalized?
I'm sure by now a lot of you have had a chance to read the Let's Kill the "Bad Inbound Links Can Get Your Site Penalized" Myth over at SearchEngineJournal. When I initially read this article, I was happy. It was confirming something that I believed, and supporting a stance that SEOmoz has taken time and time again. The idea that bad links can only hurt via loss of link juice when they get devalued, but not from any sort of penalization, is indeed located in many articles across SEOmoz. Then I perused the comments section, and I was shocked and unsettled to see some industry names that I recognized were taking the opposite side of the issue. There seems to be a few different opinions: The SEOmoz opinion that bad links can't hurt except for when they get devalued. The idea that you wouldn't be penalized algorithmically, but a manual penalty is within the realm of possibility. The idea that both manual and algorithmic penalties were a factor. Now, I know that SEOmoz preaches a link building strategy that targets high quality back links, and so if you completely prescribe to the Moz method, you've got nothing to worry about. I don't want to hear those answers here - they're right, but they're missing the point. It would still be prudent to have a correct stance on this issue, and I'm wondering if we have that. What do you guys think? Does anybody have an opinion one way or the other? Does anyone have evidence of it being one way or another? Can we setup some kind of test, rank a keyword for an arbitrary term, and go to town blasting low quality links at it as a proof of concept? I'm curious to hear your responses.
