Google changing ranking rules
By jdoepro | May 4, 2009
Google is changing their algorithm again. Their rules of ranking have to change because so called “black hat spammers” are skewing search results.
Maybe you’ve noticed that a search takes you to another phony search portal page, or maybe a scareware page (a site that convinces users their computer is infected with a virus, then offering the anti-virus solution).
One of the ranking criteria that’s bound to change is the amount and speed of incoming links to a site. More and frequently increasing links used to mean fresher content (Google thought), until huge amounts of links were dropped by spammers into blog comments.
Glad to see Google is working on the change. The downside is that your site, even if it’s not malicious, could lose its current ranking.
Here’s a link to report a malicious site:
