As Lyndoman said, it is a BIG truth about those old domains. Just some time ago I got pissed off because of one domain which was selling DVDs previously. The thing went to bankrupt probably and someone uploaded copied articles there. Unfortunately, the topic is exactly what’s my primary site’s topic.

Well, that site has no quality links, but it’s quite old (7 years if memory serves). What’s more, it doesn’t do anything than showing articles…

And the worst thing is that I can’t do anything with it. Fortunately, my site still ranks better even it’s only 2 years old.

Yea, I would agree with that. I do not mind paid links if the information provided are worth the visit or worth reading. Somethimes, these links that I go to are not really relavant to what I was looking for. Now.. How are they about to solve that? :D

I think its fairly sucky and hypocritical too.

Maybe Matt is going stir crazy, cant be an easy life being the head of ante webspam :D

Thing is, he’ll have an army all lining up to help him with it too.
FUD in my book, but…what can you do?

Google isn’t perfect, but it’s still the best show in town. I think what people are annoyed about is the snitch aspect, when Google has large enough pockets to employ a stable of human paid-link detectors.

Also, from a users point of view I am not that bothered about the abuse of links as the market will adjust accordingly.

The problem I have is with crappy results that need to be taken care of. This obsession with older sites is getting ridiculous, you can rank for anything if you buy an old domain.

Buying link, buying domains, kinda similar don’t you think.

Anyway, we are here to help Google serve us better. I do wish Yahoo would get its act together and become a credible competitor.

Imperial Google is marshaling her forces to stomp on the proletariat who are yearning to be free. It’ll be interesting to watch this battle unfold — will it result in a huge Google backlash or will the Google cabal finally vanquish all who refuse to bow the knee?
