Why people so care about their PR? For ads. bargaining? For fame? For Google donation? â€¦ Just ignore this irrelevant thing! Concentrate on your own contents and concentrate on your businesses (selling or selling links)! Your efforts will be reflected in the future.

If traffic is the only thing that matters, should I – when I create my web site – go for the software Nemeas as a first step? It allows me a trial period of 8 weeks and can choose as many high scoring URLs and if I’m not happy, my money will be refunded. Has anyone heard of Nemeas? Apparently some statistical analysis went into its development.

[...] shit, too busy making sites that are making me money so I’ll just agree with what Scott said here and here. Traffic is indeed the opnly thing that matters. This blog has not been affected. Neither [...]

Andy we should be asking more questions. What sites, if any, went up with this update? What sites outside of our community had similar problems? Do they have related factors? What factors should we be looking at to analyze for relationships? What can we truly know?

We can’t analyze with out some methodology and discipline.

I read Andy all the time and I generally enjoy his insight. You are right though.. I linked to your post by mistake I was looking at a ton of related posts at the time and grabbed your url in error.

So there are 2 things he observed… that hardly counts for an analysis. My issue isn’t with you in particular Andy. My issue is the real lack of respect for what real analysis is.

When it comes to Google hardly anyone ever tests their statements. They just post suppositions and leave it at that. Who can blame them really? To do an accurate analysis the dataset and experiments are just to large in scope for most people to tackle.

I wasn’t aware I was providing analysis, disciplined or otherwise. I was expressing an opinion.

Incidentally, to suggest that Andy doesn’t back up his analysis with data suggests that you haven’t read very many of his posts.

Did you read the comments on Copyblogger? He has never sold a link, everything is squeaky clean other than his association with B5.

Don’t forget that Duncan was actually a founder of B5, and he wrote the article on Techcrunch.

The only clear change appears to be among large scale blog networks and similar link farms, where each site in the network provides hundreds of outgoing links on each page of the blog to other blogs in the network, in some cases creating tens, even hundred of thousands of cross links.

Now I was first to suggest the sites fit another pattern, and that their heavy interlinking might be a factor for many of the links?
Is it wrong to write those words?

It is wrong to suggest that is the end of the analysis
