Matt Cutts: "Only the links Google trusts count."

OMG genius

Yeah imagine that. No one's gonna buy your piece of shit links anymore.

pls tell us something we don't know already.

so you will dont know does google trust or not trust your link buys, and it was from beginning :D

There is no way Matt Cutts (whose salary is paid by Google) might possibly spread misinformation about SEO to prevent some people from trying to game their system.



/sarcasm

maybe now but some time ago link farms were the way to go..

Indeed. You might as well listen to 'advice' from your dog.

see sig for serve yourself links that google likes just fine.

Keep in mind that those are just the key players. The entire team is made up of people with advanced degrees in fields such as computer science, computer engineering, and math from schools like MIT, Caltech, University Of Texas, Stanford, and other Ivy League caliber institutions who anticipate that there will inevitably always be people trying to 'game their system' regardless of what they publicly disclose and they therefore have absolutely no reason whatsoever to lie or mislead anyone. Especially when they can just re-adjust the system. Everything I've ever heard Matt Cutts say has been 100% on the money.

Conspiracy theorize much?

Google doesn't have to spread misinformation; they have a delete button.

I've done well on a number of sites doing pretty much the opposite of what Matt Cutts says works or doesn't work. If following his 'advice' is making you money I am surprised to hear it, but also glad you are doing well.
