in Penalty Confirmed – But I Don't Sell PageRank on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
I agree with the sentiments of your post. I feel that since I don't have the Google PageRank toolbar installed, I can't possibly "game" Google.

I think that since you don't mention you sell PR anywhere, and you do reject reviews that are irrelevant, you are innocent. Too bad I'm not in charge.

Good points. I especially enjoyed number 4. It's not 2001 anymore.

Very impressive list! It's put my own to shame.

in Sphinn – SEM Attention Wars on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
I hate to be negative about a new service, but Sphinn (Sfin) sure does appear to me to be the same old "talking heads" and SEO Rockstars (haha) that already dominate the small SEO niche. I've never felt like part of their "community" so far, and I doubt this offering will be any different.

If this website plans on being anything other than another derivative Digg/Pligg clone, then Danny will have to do his best to bring in some new blood from the huge majority of SEO "community types" who aren't part of the in-crowd. Otherwise, it looks just like one more gratuitous ass-kissing and pseudo-link-exchanging circle jerking website to me. In essence, it's not hard to believe that a website like this is designed to promote web conferences, rather than do much for the community at large.

Of course I could be wrong, and time will tell.

in SEO - Selling Effectiveness Optimization | BPWrap on BPWrap
I can't imagine why usability should be separate from SEO. The two go hand in hand, IMHO, and should be built in from the start.

I like your suggestion for the acronym!

in Who’s Spammier: Mahalo or Squidoo? on Marketing Pilgrim
"they’re both about creating hand-crafted pages with the best content in the web."

Hahahaha. That statement is the definition of irony ;)

in Abusing Web Resources to Promote a Site on Technosailor
Excellent post, Aaron. The big key for all of these companies is to maintain integrity in their service, while allowing uses to put in their two cents.

I think you still need human editing for any informational resource.
