To make them aware about this problem and let them know about all sites that's infecting the search and affecting our sites? Here's an email address: mailto:help@google.com?Subject=Please remove these Spam sites from your index now! It wouldn't be email spam would it?
Everyone hated Microsoft, but if you talk to peole in Silicon Valley they will tell you they like the way MS does business more then G. I'm so fed up with them, why bother trying to "help" them ? It's like being a kid in a school classroom. You have little choice but to stay with that teacher you were "assigned to". What if the teacher is selfish, lies, and is a megalomaniac. Would you HELP him to improve or would you go through another form of a lot of trouble and try to get put in another class? And how many websites that are producing tremendous wealth from their users, advertisers, and publishers should have to rely on these people for help? Please let G get themselves out of these things. They think they're God, so maybe they can rise to the challenge instead of acting like incompetant 12 year olds.
We are trying to help OURSELFS ... google is the search standard eventough we don't like it (anymore). Your analogy about the teacher doesn't fly either. If you don't tell the bad teacher howto improve, the one being deprived from quality/usefull lessons will be you. Sure you can try to get in another class with another teacher but what if that teacher doesn't even give 10% of the lessons you should be getting ?
http://merged.ca/monetize/flat/how-to-get-billions-of-pages-indexed-by-Google.html#matt ^^ Matt's (?) post. Bad link but it was posted from Santa Clara, CA. btw, it is definitely the topic of the hour... #3 in blog activity behind Telegraph and Time magazine stories
Hehe should've forseen it! That was bound to happen! Now a days its like you say .. **** is a *** and the next moment, you have a domain with mostly a wordpress up on it! Abhishek
BTW, anybody seen a rollback of the data in Google? One page of mine that was added a couple of days ago is now gone from most of the datacenters. I guess a logical way to address a "bad push" would be to reinsate a recent known good push.
Actually, yes, I have as well. One of my sites was "recovering" and was back up to 35k pages indexed. It is now back to the same # as a few days ago even though it had been on a steady and obvious climb. I was a bit worried I was getting the hand job, too.
Will Matt be fired ?? FIRED Ok , now I think the guy is from my country Moldova (not Romania) . I saw these types of pages before and wanted to report him at google but after looking at his whois saw that he is from my country and ... I didn't reported him . Also if looking at whois info there are connection to the biggest internet provider in Moldova - Starnet (registrant of domains) . Bad thing but what he did is amazing . Hats off . Not 100% sure tho .
5 billions pages indexed within 18 day? Simple math would prove it is impossible: 18 X 24 X 3600 = 155200 sec. 5000000000/155200= 3125 pages/Sec How in the world the goolebot can spider at such a speed for one site? That is ridiculous.
site: counts are totally inaccurate, mine show 5x the number of pages that actually exist on the site. the overall point isn't really the # of pages, but that the site actually ranks for keywords. It seems to rank mostly for phrases that are 4-5 keywords long, but still..that's a ton of traffic.
Good catch, but that is the point-- Google did not consider this to be one site, it considered it to be 5 billion different sites because they were sub-subdomains. You should be more impressed with his servers' ability to handle the spidering. And yes, I totally agree that the counts are probably off and it was not really 5,000,000,000 pages in the index. But he had 67 of the top 100 results for one phrase and an Alexa ranking of sub 2,000. That means he had a LOT of traffic. ps. is anyone a member of this forum? hxxp://www.pginsider.com ? I want to see what they're saying about it, their forum as a thread on it.
