Googleplex Anomaly with Blackhats!!!

[masterofthe]

Has anyone heard of the old Googleplex anomaly news?

According to a prestigious news source i read three days ago,

"Something really rotten has been going on in the Googleplex of late that should be of great concern to all bloggers, blogging companies, legitimate SEO’s and other corporate entities that rely on Google for traffic alike. and also that....

>>>>"The head people at Google are not only friendly with content thieves and blog spammers, they are even meeting, and its all on public record."



This has gotta stop today or all bloggers and blogs will soon be.......

lucky us kasi wala naman devastating effect to this day.

What's the source?

============

Anyway... I have always heard the MetaWebs people had some contact in Google. And they even do some conferences for MetaWebs members with some Google representative there.

MetaWebs is a membership type of program that has this website template where you make your own kind of niche search engine and since they are premium adsense publishers, the ads are from Google but it does not say they are from Google. But you can see the links. They look more like Adsense Domains. The parking service, but they have a small CMS portion to add content. Anyway... if you look at the sites, they all look like MFAs. But they have a following that meet with each other and they say Google Engr... bla bla bla will be present.

Well Whatever they are up to. I don't care. *LOL* Most of the people I have talked with that were members of the grouop earn $8k to $11k per month and they claim Google really knows them and interacts with them directly.

Masterofthe, have you made any further understanding on what really happened when Matt Cutts and Co met with self-claimed "adsense spammers"? What the meeting's all about and it's purpose? You should have wisely weighed the issue before posting derogative speculations (http://www.blogherald.com/2005/08/17/something-very-wrotten-in-the-googleplex/) here.

To clarify in my own way

Matt Cutts said (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/?p=20),
"I saw a chance to talk to Dave Naylor, Chris Raimondi, and JenSense, I was happy to give them a G-rated tour of the GooglePlex (don’t worry, I didn’t let them near the big red button we use to begin the index update Google Dance). We walked around for 20 minutes and then fell into the “I try to pick your brain, you try to pick my brain” routine and talked in a lobby until 1am...... It was a good time for brain-picking."

So what's the problem with that? There's nothing wrong of treating "special guests" with hospitality or accommodation like free beers, lunch, dinner etc for the purpose of undermining plans and/or steal trade secrets.

There's nothing to worry on how Google and other search engine's handle inner workings such as these types of dealings. These baits are common SOP's for development and innovation, such as what Microsoft does when contracting hackers. Learning how SE abusers operate will help them improve methods, strategies and techniques to update counter-measures and a more "foolproof" architecture of interrelated systems of solutions to their quality search and advertising operations.

Matt Cutts was just doing his job. - Most probably Matt said, "Come on, I heard that you're the world's best ;) I'm sure you guys can beat my system. Show me what you got!"

This is just a bit of how to battle multi-million dollars spam, in a reverse manner.

"Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle."
~An Art of War quote, by Sun Tzu

masterofthe probably read the article out of context lang and over-reacted taking the whole article literally.

the bigger context being:

matagal na kini-criticize ang google for being disrespectful sa mga copyright laws. by indexing copyrighted material and placing ads on them, by allowing MFAs and scraper sites into adsense, by purchasing and doing nothing about content piracy sa YouTube, etc. in some circles nga google = internet piracy ang perception. plus yung perception pa na matagal na nai-surrender yung "do no evil" mantra for the sake of the almighty dollar.

the old article was only riding on this perception, nothing actually big, nothing actually new about it.

pero recently may mga moves ang Google na medyo positive naman. on june 1, they are kicking some mfa and arbitrage adsensers out of the program. and just recently, they announced that they will stop placing adsense adverts on essay-writing-services themed websites. positive moves, pero kulang pa rin.

it helps to know the big picture palagi. para hindi tayo na-a-alarm :)
