@New Media Strategies “We just don’t know what they will do next and when they will implement it. ” – Yes , we don’t know, but it’s natural- they do everything, that on first search pages will be sites who came by adwords.
I don’t understand- ‘Nofollow’ it’s just to discourage blog spam. But everyone can delete spamming comments…

I agree with you, detecting do-follow and nofollow links became so easy

no follow sculpting seems to be a waste of time anyway. It makes sense that no follow should be applied on links to advertisers, for example. The bulk of the effort should be on developing good backlinks. I don’t get the attitude that SEO companies have been somehow shortchanged. Everyone knows the algorithyms aren’t guaranteed to stay the same, it’s the complexity of the internet that makes a firm secure the services of an seo expert. Goes with presenting yourself as an expert.

For the sake of prevention of my site from spam comments, I have set the moderation option for each of the comment posted on my website blog. This really has helped me alot in stopping spam comment.

There will always be some changes in the “Rules” of PR by Search Engines. We just don’t know what they will do next and when they will implement it. This is a very dynamic world, the Internet. New technologies, new developments, new “abuses” equals to new “Rules”. That is why both clients and consultants must continue to evolve and adapt to the changes.

This is quite a shake up within the SEO industry. I agree that some good things will come out of this. I am just glad I have not been embarking on PR Sculpting for my clients.

Jonathan, I think Google is constantly “acting” to try to improve the quality of their results, at least in certain categoreis. Also not all SEO is done in the name of spam. In fact many name brands invest in SEO because rankings have a very solid ROI.

Also, don’t assume you know who the good guys and the bad guys are. Google benefits more than anyone by making companies pay a lot of money (via Adwords) to show up on Page 1 of the SERPs for certain keyword categories. Consequently, it isn’t in their best interest to provide “relevant information” for keyword searches such as “viagra”, “buy viagra”, or “free poker online”.

The more search options available the merrier! Though personally I’d prefer a search engine that had no hidden or visible agenda. Do you think the Wii will ever outrank the XBox on Bing for more generic long-tail keywords?

Sorry i have little sympathy. I personally think that most SEO “Experts” are a waste of time and money and it’s about time that Google acted to stop these cowboys from cluttering up the net with junk. When I do a Google search i want to find what i’m looking for not a site that is just well optimised. Bing is beginning to bite into Google market share because it provdes relevant information not just SEO optimised information!

While the constantly changing Google algorithm and methods for attaining SEO nirvana can be frustrating, it is only fair for Google and other search engines to function this way. Updating the algorithm gives sites that have quality content a better chance of being found, weeding out spam and clone sites that act more as advertisements than webpages. Creating backlinks to your site with comments and forum posts, improving on-page SEO, and routinely adding new content to your site have replaced link exchanges and keyword spamming as the preferred way to optimize your site for SE.

I think that a lot of the importance that was initially placed on nofollow and PR sculpting was mostly due to assumptions and the spread of unverified information. It was never said, and shouldn’t have been assumed, that a page’s PR gets divided evenly among all the links on the page. It could very well have always been up to Google to decide how much PR each link gets based on the relevance of that link, but no one had thought of that so all the SEOs assumed that it must be divided evenly. I don’t think this new information is really going to change very much.
