Hehe Wayne wants # 1 lol..The site hasnt been optimized yet so I am hoping after that is done it will be number 1. I know Kenny Cook and I like him he is a nice guy.

Number 1 or Number 2 it doesnt matter there is enough business there for all of us. Maybe all of us working together here we can acomplish everything we want

Well I hope those are the new results on the next Major update but I guess we will have to wait and see. This sandbox effect is driving me nuts lol.

What did you think about my post on Directories?

IMO but seems to be true Google is just trying to stop people from buying deleted domains and passing on the pr to their other sites. They (google) kept saying it didn't work a long time a go but it did. Now it looks like they finally got it right. The only problem is that their algo takes time to shift "the sand" and perhaps that's why there is a delay.

Just as the keyword anchor = your title page got hammered so did that. Just stay one step ahead. The algo might be math but programmers are human just but yourself in their shoes and what would you do?

Now the question is do they penalize sites that have links on those expired domains? That could be dangerous and maybe a way to to lower the rankings of your competition.

I dont know I think maybe google might do a whois and I would like to see that . This way maybe those of us that dont deserve to be put into the sandbox wont. I can say I have seen through my logs that there has been a ton of whois done on my site.

I was wondering about the whois. That seems like alot of work even for bots but you never know google is not shy about invading your privacy. I was wondering what if you have a lot of sites using "private registration" when you can't see the whois. what happens then??!!??

Fighting expired domain purchasers, PR buyers, link spammers there are many reason that make sense for the sandbox however the end result is the same.

However a penalty for links on domains will NEVER happen for exactly the reason you quote 2savvy. A webmaster can only be held responsible and thus penalized for those elements under his or her control. Google would very quickly get sued if a penalty precedence were to be established based on something the website owner "didn'" do wrong.

Otherwise Id go blog spamming for seoinc.com <<< Notice I give NOOOOO backlink ahgaaahahha
