Shoemoney blogged that Google AdSense might be running a paid reviews service in the near future. The email is unconfirmed and there’s no comment from the Google AdSense team yet, but forum members are already suspecting that it’s going to happen.

The question is: how? If the rumor is true, will Google require “nofollow” on all these links? (You’d think so.) How about redirected URLs? (Possibly.)

People still find it funny:

haha about time google will clearly state they’re selling links.

I’m thinking this email has little credibility (just like Jeremy does), but it would be interesting to see if Google ends up monetizing on something that people want and need.

Forum discussion continues at DigitalPoint Forums.

This is something that has puzzled me for years. With all the noise Google makes about stopping spam and cracking down on paid links why are they still letting people use what is arguably one of the spammiest link networks on the web to rank so well?
I’m talking about the Digital Point Coop which doesn’t […]

This week, Rand takes it back to basics and discusses how search engines deal with the COLOSSAL amounts of data they have to sift through for every single search query. Sometimes it’s actually quite helpful to step back and remember how everything works.

And just because I like to keep it real (it’s how I roll), an old friend makes a cameo in this video. He’s poppin’, lockin’ and bustin’ the freshest moves this side of the Mississippi. Caaaan youuuuuu dig it?!!

Happy Friday, Gang.

A hilarious post comparing industry notables to action figures. See the alter egos of Danny Sullivan, Tim Nash, Rand Fiskin, Tamar, Lyndon, Bill Slawski, and more. Compare their pictures side by side.

What a great post!

Let’s say you wanted to be altruistic and provide a link to a site in hopes to raise awareness about a program that they promote. But when you alert the webmaster of said site, they go on a hissy fit and claim that linking to their site is a copyright violation.

In a WebmasterWorld thread, that’s happening.

The back story is this: a person has had a web site about animal shelters. The site links to numerous shelters and provides their logos. A few months ago, he had to change URLs because his ISP went down. He put up a new site on a new URL and alerted the linked sites to the new site. One of these people, in particular, got all upset and said that doing so constitutes a privacy violation. Is it worth fighting in court?

The answer, to many, is no. The easy solution is just to remove the link and logo and let the guy lose his traffic. But the owner feels that this is not a good solution — his motives are purely altruistic and he wants to keep the link intact because of his desire to have these animals adopted and not killed.

And many people, therefore, think that there’s no reason to keep the link. In fact, taking the guy to court over a nonsensical issue like this would not work. Worst comes to worst, the chairman of the charity should be brought in to assess whether the person who threatened the webmaster has done so wrongly (and everyone agrees that the legal threat has no bearing).

I’ve never heard of any law or regulation that prevents you from linking to anything on your web site. It’s your web site — you decide the rules, aside from your host.

Other reading on the subject has been provided by forum member Victor, who says: “If they publish a website, then they accept the usual rules of conduct for websites.” He links to http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkMyths.html and http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkLaw.

It looks like the webmaster is right and the animal shelter is wrong. Linking won’t get you in trouble, and the issue probably holds no water in a court of law.

Forum discussion continues at WebmasterWorld.

Because links are formulated by people whom generally don’t benefit from lying about your web page, search engines put an awful lot of trust and faith in them. Keywords in links trump keywords in content.
