On exploits I disagree. seems to be say you can still make a ton of money. In the quick flip world, even with a big bank roll, you ne to be disruptive or innovative. On the other hand, if you have some success in your niche you can use creativity. To grow, but it has to be someth new. Widget bait launch @oatmeal’s online dat site but it is more likely to bury you now than help you rank #1, or at least prevent you from rank on the match anchor text. When a company starts off small & itorially focus how do you know that it is time to scale up on monetization? Like if I had a successful 200 page site & want to add a 20,000 page database to it…would you advise against that, or how would you suggest do that in a post-Panda world? This is a tough call. I actually have a client in exactly this position. I guess it depends on the nature of the 20,000 pages. If you are runn a niche directory (like my client) my advice to them was to add the pages.
To the site but no index the individual list
Until they can get some unique content. This is still likely to run fowl of the engagement issue present by. Panda, so we kept the expand pages on geo orient sub-domains. Earlier you mention that Panda challeng some of your assumptions. Could you describe how it chang your views on search? I always tell prospects that 10-15 years ago my job was. To trick search engines into deliver traffic but over the last 5-6 years it has evolv and now my job is to trick clients into develop content that users want. Panda just chang the definition of “good content” from relevant, well link content to relevant, well link, sticky content. It has also made me more of a believer in diversify traffic. Last year Google made a huge stink about MSN “steal” results because they were sniff traffic streams and crawl queries on Google. The truth is that Google has so many data sources and so many signals to analyze.
That they don’t ne to crawl facebook or index
Links on twitter. They know where traffic is com from and where it is go and if you are gett traffic from social. They know it. As Google folds more data into their mix do you worry that SEO will one day become. Too complex to analyze (or move the nele)? Would that push SEOs to mostly work in house at bigger companies, or would be an SEO become more BRLists akin to be a public relations & mia relations expert? I think it may already be too complex to analyze in the sense that it is almost impossible to get repeatable results for every client or tell them how much traffic they are go to achieve. On the other hand, mov the neles is still reasonably easy—as long as you are in agreement about what direction everyone is go.
