Threadwatch have found out that a few people from the Google spam team have left to work for a SEO company! Now this lucky SEO company will have an insight into how Google functions, probably not the whole algo but definately how they see spam, lucky buggers

Now the scarier part of all this is that they came from the Google spam team, which is headed by Matt Cutts, Google’s front man and face of the company, Matt Cutts is yet to respond.

Today Google declared that they have finally sorted out the Googlebomb, which means Tony Blair is no longer a liar and George Bush is no longer a miserable failure…according to Google.

Now well done to Google for sorting this out with there hand crafted algo update but I feel this isn’t over just yet, it could go one way or another:

One way is that they haven’t eliminated all Googlebombing due to some being harder to distingquish at the moment.

Second way is that this algo could handycap people who have a lot of links with the same achor text trying to promote there site.

Lets hope they got it spot on

Someone, who calls himself fuckingpirate has been hacking all the SEO gurus blogs. He made a complete list of sites he was going to hack on a wordpress blog he had made, 3 of which he got which was Wolf Howl, BoogyBonBon and Stuntdubl VIA a wordpress exploit and then attacking them with an automated script. Fuckingpirate has made it obvious where he is and has even offered people to meet up with him. Seems like he’s trying to liven up the SEO world but going the wrong way around it.

Anyway Wordpress have released a new version of Wordpress to protect against this exploit.

To those that remember Transformers (and for those saying ‘who?’, get a life :p), there bringing out a full movie woohoo! I’m a huge fan of Transformers, although I haven’t watched a single episode of the newer versions.

But anyway, here’s a trailer to keep yourselves entertained http://video.vividas.com/CDN1/5029_paramount/en/web/

Well DaveN has made a very interesting site called TickMe. It’s like Myspace, but like a social site such as [sarcasm]DaveN’s favourite site Digg [/sarcasm]. It looks good, and I signed up to see how it works/goes. You can find me here

Sign up and tick me! think I need them

Big Mouth Media, probably the biggest SEO firm in Britain was acquired by Global media over the weekend for an amazing €60 million (about £35-40 million or $65 million roughly depending where your from)!  This move makes Global Media one of the biggest SEM companies in the world.

Maybe they’d like to buy my ‘business’ for a similar fee…?
