The author (apparently a snow owl) talks about google bowling, and goes into a bit of depth.

Sorry for the lack of syntax highlighting, I haven’t gotten that plugin for wordpress. Feel free to copy the code.

There is an absolute plethora of misinformation out there about SEO, so as my contribution to

the community, I’m going to dispell a few SEO myths.

There is no such thing as a sandbox. Yes, that is correct, there is no Google sandbox.

If your brand spanking new page is not immediately indexed, it’s because you don’t have

enough links, or Google has not updated its index to reflect your site’s inclusion yet.

I’ve had sites that were plastered with ads indexed within 2 hours, and I’ve had sites

white as the driven snow with 50 backlinks from trusted domains take ages to get indexed.

Which brings me to my next point: edu = gov = com = info = net = org = …

The TLD of a domain matters about as much as the color pants you’re wearing when you get a link from it. It’s *trust* that makes a good link, not its TLD.

Pagerank doesn’t matter either. It’s just an arbitrary standard produced by a company who has one and

only one ultimate goal - to make money. The only reason to ever worry about the pagerank of your pages

is so that you can sell links to suck..er…other webmasters who care about such things.

There is no duplicate content penalty! I cannot emphasize this enough. Google itself is just

a giant content scraper. There are millions of blogs and aggregators out there that just copy

other content. As long as you credit the source, you have nothing to worry about if your

content is not original. Just remember who the biggest content theif on the web is, and

that they made 10 billion dollars last year.

That’s all for now. Hope to catch you all later.

•  A massive database of URLs, expanded daily by automated spiders and QAed automatically by carefully crafted scripts
• Complete control over all aspects of link building and site promotion in that the user can specify, for each site he or she owns, how many links the service should drop daily. This makes it possible to stay in the SERPs much longer since the links come in more naturally.
• An integrated remote API for use with automated scripts, or if the user prefers, a web interface offering easy management of daily link dropping “jobs”.

So far, that gives a decent overview. Stay tuned as I keep this rolling in development.
