  1. What a load of lies this video is sites are doing webspam in the carpet cleaning niche in Australia. If you google this long-tail keyword "blood carpet cleaning deagon " I know it is not a very competitive keyword. One company has around seven of there sites on the front page. They are all different sites but it doesn't take much investigation to see that they are the same company. They all have the same MO they use a few articles and then use them on hundreds of pages on the site only changing the suburb. The point I'm making is this company makes Google look like a fool. They should take down all the videos and articles that talk about webspam.

  2. Sometimes, Google misuses google webmaster guidelines(Google adsense also do so, youtube also). It happened to me- they said my own content is scraped content which don't add any value. People copy my content and google webmaster blame me for that. Its really pathetic.
    We are unlucky that we have no other alternative to Google for Bangla websites. We need to create our own search engines and more. Google in nothing but a digital form of British East India Company in this subcontinent(Bangladesh, India, Pakistan…..) with some brainy techniques and tactics. (Mr Youtube, Will you suspend my youtube channel for this comment??)

  3. If I want to help google to fight against spammy websites in the search results and in the maps then Google doesn't react! I did already their homework for more than 10 spammy websites and I reported one of them begging Google to contact me through my Gmail-address for sending them my prove of material, but nobody there as usual.Thanks Google for helping us to make our life better and easier!

  4. I have a question ? For Example :- if a website use a content from govt site and Add canonical tag that content originally from govt website that mean it's a ethical way website will not get any penalty. But if same content also copied by other websites and duplicate checking tools show duplicate content from multiple site will that website get penalty or not ? Please reply if any one have ans ?

  5. Great video.  I never like hearing when people say Google is always changing the rules. The rules have always been the same; 1. Be relevant 2. Be informative and/or entertaining 3. If #1 & #2 truly are worth remarking about, then you'll be popular.  That formula has never changed.  Focus your strategy on this concept, and not the latest short term tactic.

  6. Somehow, this video gives me the impression that Google thinks there should be just one bicycle shop in the world, because having more of them doesn't "add value for the user." I realize that Google is not a public utility running a search engine for all our good, but a for-profit business, so they are as entitled as any business owner to provide the product they want to provide, but I do think it is very unfortunate that they are so hooked on blogs as the ideal type of website. A website for a typical small business basically says, "This is who we are, this is what we can do for you, and this is how you can reach us." That information does not change, and much of it will necessarily overlap with what a lot of other sites have to say. That doesn't mean it's not a "valuable user experience" to find a good bike shop. A bike store should be able to concentrate on selling bikes, not start writing a blog about bikes just for SEO.

  7. Google is frustrating. When you solve a problem of supposed quality guidelines violations, they come up with other type of violations just to make a webmaster/blogger go insane.
    I don't fit in either of these categories and what am I supposed to do? delete 5 years worth of content?

  8. FIRST OFF I WANNA THANK GOOGLE PLUS FOR SENDING ME A MESSAGE SAYING I WAS VIOLATING SPAM LAWS OR SOMTHING,I WAS POSTING LINKS TO HELP SAVE A DYING BABY,THANK YOU GOOGLE FOR STOPPING ME FROM SAVING DYING BABY,YOUR SO AWESOME,YOUR THE FUTURE,HUMANS DONT NEED FREE SPEECH OR TO SAVE LIVES THANKS ONCE AGAIN

  9. Умеет он релевантную информацию подавать, при поиске программы или еще чего либо – выдаст 100% 100500 тысяч ссылок на вирусы и на adbot. 

  10. Am I spamming if my supplier gives me information/product description to use? Other than that plagiarism is anathema to me as well. For example, how am I supposed to describe-in a different or more creative way-the binomial theorem or the quadratic equation?

  11. Google has ruined my business too.  It was a website selling bridal dresses.  They don't care and I will never forgive them as I had to make my first employee redundant today. 

  12. Wonderful.  After having bought at least three "curation" courses..this one small video clears the air.  In just one sentence it can be explained..No one page wonder sites with scraped content. 
    Write about a subject and then add something you've found that someone else wrote that adds VALUE to what you are offering on a site that has some more relevant information available! .

    Thanks Michael…you made it happen by supplying just the needed nuts and bolts.
    You are welcome to Google me  Cararta and Skipper Works and offer some suggestions since all help is appreciated. 

  13. The background music was so distracting , please let me do your video editing the next time. No disrespect. You guys do what you do best but it can't be everything, I had to watch the video twice to finally get what you were saying Michael. You guys should surely have more job openings out there but since google loves money so much, they would rather keep it to themselves. Greedy World.

  14. What about e-commerce where all the merchants are selling the new product like Samsung Galaxy S2? If they would have different descriptions would this mean they have a more qualified contend?

  15. Well Michael your opinions are for shit….. You do not know how every website works. You seem to think you are the arbitrator of the 1st Amendment. Well your not my friend and you negatively impact my website I will sue your ass personally.

  16. I know there are many nations suspicious about DMCA violations which are communists, especially by North Korean related (A.K.A. R*K). It is famous that all spammers are related to computer hackers who are associated with organized crime scene, in the other words, they are all from organized crime scenes and are the manipulation operatives to run computer related organized crimes as publicly known by gov agencies. Wonder, how dangerous it is to be harmed by those from DPRK relatives.
