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.

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

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.

First of all, if disinformation would obviously be effective, what makes you think a team of bright people would not think of the effective methodology?

Secondly, while I'm sure Matt Cutts is very bright, I had no idea that UNC is now considered Ivy League caliber. Go Tarheels. Ditto University of Texas. Those schools graduate some fine students, but it is as silly to equate them with MIT, Stanford, and "other Ivy League caliber institutions" as to suggest that smart people would not do the smart thing because they are smart.

Can you back up what you said with links to these sites?

You are selling SEO in your sig, so if I apply your logic of "Matt Cutts and misinformation"
to your sig then...........????

...

why would he out his sites and techniques?

no wonder you can't even get hired at labor ready.

pls tell us something we don't know already.

yeah sure seems like they are being honest and not evading anything with this answer.

When we search for appliances, why do we only get Sears and other major stores?

Cutts: The web is one of the only places where the small business can move faster than the big guys. The big companies are often big for reason and as a result they can outrank other pages. However, the search engine does give the small business a chance Google Webmaster Tools is somewhat of an equalizer though and small businesses should use this ? i.e. big businesses are more likely to use text in images/flash and small businesses will know better. Also, small businesses should concentrate on the small niche.

Laugh away but if you sell links Google already knows about it. Link buying is pretty fucking worthless aside from the direct traffic.

yeah that's why the sites that dominate all the top porn keywords buy shitloads of links every day.

They just ignore the bullshit links. Those same top sites also have a pile of legitimate links pointing to them naturally. Also, if you buy popups on PornHub it's not like there is a website advertising that PornHub is selling popups. Google knows exactly what most people are doing and adjusts accordingly. You don't think there are obvious signs that someone is selling links? Google has all the data they need to discount your shit and not let you know a damn thing.

clueless as usual ....

Google "black monster cock".

Maybe I get different results than you.
