So there is Google update Q-2 last night

So the google update finally comes. It happens in 2nd week of January earlier. Multiple webmasters were seeing their pagerank score swinging all across last night.

There is a feeling among many in the SEO world that page rank is outdated metric of judging a site’s authority in Google eyes.  Frankly it still reflects the findability of a site in Google’s index and gives webmasters a peek at the fairness of their site.

There were lot of cheers at Digitalpoint forums when I visited there last night. Webmasters and internet marketers shared their sites PR and how much it got up-down, there were mix feelings all over.

For sure google targets paid links and exchanges from irrelevant sites that are selling links by giving appropriate penalties to prevent them from ranking well.

Google PageRank credibility is not a secret. So if you open any online venture and opting for objectionable techniques to sell and buy links to rank higher on google in presell pages, blog posts, border and footer links, article links …then beware vicious google eyes are looking after you.

SEO black vs white hat

January 3, 2008 at 2:43 pm · Filed under SEO News, Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , ,

Yup. Its true to some extent that SEO is hacking in many of the ways.
Its just that search engines keep rewriting their code to try and give the sites with quality content a higher place. Sites with articles, forums, blogs and sale sites keep working to get around that. In hacking white, grey, and black hat are fairly common terms.

White Hat
White-Hat stands for those firms who do not break laws and follow the rules as prescribed by Search Engines without violating EULAs.

Grey-Hat
There is a new term quiet popular..i.e. Grey hat. Its for those who are willing to break rules for what they feel is a for good cause.

Black-Hat
These are the really spoliers and bad guys just like in old american cowboy movies. They have no care for laws and rules, and they do things completely for themselves. A blackhat SEO tends to use objectionable techniques around in forums & social sites such as MySpace for their own advertisings.

White hat is smart business. Examples of black hat are spam and cloaking. Certainly the white hat works are the ultimate things which will give you major gains and relief in longer term. But still the fact remains that spamming is quicker and easier than doing it right. Not to mention its just remain for a short term.
