Disrespectful SEO

Posted by Greg on November 11th, 2005

Matt Cutts recently posted a comment about how disrespectful it was to auto-generate doorway domains named after fatal hurricanes.

his specific comments:

If you’re going to autogenerate spammy doorway domains, here’s a tip: don’t name them after fatal hurricanes like Katrina:

It’s not only a bad idea, it’s disrespectful.

So my question for Matt is this:

Is it more or less disrespectful when the domain spammer is a Google business partner??

    They also fund a ton of sites directly based on Warez and file sharing type activities. When I asked them if they cared about it they responded:

    “Google AdSense is a program for web publishers who want to display advertising on web pages they control. By placing AdSense code on their web pages, the publisher can display text-based Google ads that are relevant to the content readers see on the pages. Publishers, not Google, control what pages have ads and the content of those pages.

    Google is a provider of information, not a mediator. We serve ads targeted to certain web pages, but we don’t control the content of these pages. For these kinds of questions or comments, it is best to directly address the webmaster of the page in question.”

    Funny for them to occassionally out their own business partners as being sleezy when they also openly state that they usually don’t care.
