Another Day in Paradise


« on: Jan 09, 2008, 04:37:34 AM »

Traffic Power's CEO Matt Marlon (one of his names) is behind bars. That alone would not be bad at all, but if one of our webmasters (i doubgt that) or readers has an account by Traffic Power he/she will be forced to take immidiate action.

The SEO company "Traffic Power" has earned an infamous reputation as a search engine optimization firm, allegedly using "black hat" tactics.

Matt Marlon was jailed for a different matter though. He was allegedly running a housing scam. (some people never get their throughts full)

Following up the story i landed on Matt Cutt's blog Visit through proxy, Googles Scam "Van Helsing", and i found the following statement:

Quote
I can confirm that Google has removed traffic-power.com and domains promoted by Traffic Power from our index because of search engine optimization techniques that violated our webmaster guidelines at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html Visit through proxy. If you are a client or former client of Traffic Power and your site is not in Google, please see my previous advice on requesting reinclusion into Google’s index to learn what steps to take if you would like to be reincluded in Google’s index.


Now i know that no serious webmaster here would have used 'Traffic Power'  Wink but there might be visitors who find this statement quite interesting.....
