Google Approved SEO

26 Comments http://bro.gs/cqxx

I was sent this link: Google Approved SEO. When I checked out the comments I was pretty surprised to see who had endorsed me:

Google Approved SEO

What can I say – I’m pretty much made up! :) Of course it could have been 100 times worse…reputation management has just taken on a whole new dimension.

In my subscription area I will tell you more :)

    That’s pretty funny, but it’s not unique. I’ve also seen fake blog comments, fake MySpace pages, and fake MyBlogLog people where people pretended to be me.

    Incidentally, I think the implications of this kind of nonsense are a little more important when it’s visible on google.com as opposed to MySpace or another non-G property.

    Sightly problematic that I can attach a “This site may harm your computer” message, ostensibly from Google, to any old site. You’d have to be a bit dim to fall for it, of course, but dim people keep the phishing industry in business. I know it’s a WIP and all but still…

    Matt what I wonder is when somebody creates an account under a fake name (perhaps that of a competitor) and leaves a libellous comment.

    Google hosts the comment therefore Google gets sued along with the guy in India behind a proxy. Clearly Google is the one that ends up paying.

    That’s a fake comment, Dave,and I recently read that it’s a felony to do that in the US because it violates our Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines [sic].

    Dave,

    I couldn’t help myself but I added a SearchWiki comment to your URL with the query you have above. I just think this SearchWiki thing is going to get out of control fast.

    its really a interesting discussion. It generally happens with my blog also, when people comments any thing.

    Surely this only adds to the proof that Search Wiki is seriously flawed?

    Shesh, the geniuses at Google must have been drinking the same water as the chancelor of the exchquer. I am going to start staying in bed in the mornings and just give up on this SEO crap soon. Google = dumb. Chancelor = dumb. :) Thats my opinion anyway.

    Hi there,

    If thats real then well done but I’d need to see it on Matt Cutts blog before I’d truely believe it was him.

    How do you see comments like the above anyway? I followed the link to a google results page, but I can’t see any comments.

    cheers

    Google owns DoubleClick and they don’t even openly and fully endorse DoubleClick. Who the fuck is Dave Naylor? Get rid of the gif image and show us the endorsement links. Wake up from your stupid dream… there’s no such thing as “Google Approved SEO”. I wonder why people think all SEO’s are so full of bullshit.

    If there was ever a real “Google Approved SEO” then Dave Naylor would be it. Check out his site for more information.
