Can A Website Be Over-Optimized?

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Google’s Matt Cutts did a video for the Webmaster Central YouTube channel yesterday answering a question on over-optimization of a Website. In essence he said no, the you can’t over use the NOFOLLOW tag, but often times in the search for better placement on the search engines people tend to spam a bit. They over use their keywords and make their site not user friendly. So in the end there are ways to hurt yourself in the search engines but only if you take a more black-hat approach to optimization.

What are your thoughts? Post them below.

Whitehat Linkbaiting from Google

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

On their WebmasterHelp Channel, Google’s Matt Cutts explained a way to get links back to your site (linkbait) without nefarious, devious actions on your part. He gives an example of a site that combines Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and Twitter. It’s an interesting example of how one can linkbait without going to the darkside.

Watch the video below. I’d like to hear what you’re thoughts are on linkbaiting the Whitehat way, discuss in the comments.
