CrapHat SEO – Its your own fault Google

February 26th, 2009

Having just read Matts tweet below I felt the need to gripe a bit

craphat

First off…

Yes profile spam is bad in a school forum – nobody would disagree

But you have to put the reasons for the problem into perspective.

Yes there are a lot of wanker spammers out there, some people do things that perhaps they dont think through.

The reason they are doing them however is Google decided that .edu domains could be perceived as having higher trust.

So Google, you attracted the spammers to the school and they posted porn as it pays…

Stop bleating that you are the good guys, its as much your own fault.

    Porn on school sites sucks, who would disagree? So do system cracks, site defacements, virus infusion, and so on.

    But repeatedly equating (and utterly in earnest, too) “black hat SEOs” with criminal crackers/hackers, as Matt Cutts keeps on doing, is political propaganda pure and unadulterated – in other words: invidious demagogy.

    (Put more bluntly: it’s actually a hallmark of the fascistoid mind. And in case someon’s wondering, this is anything but a frivolous claim – it’s entirely backed up by political science, fascism research, etc. etc.)

    Heil Google!

    What a load of crap… 99% of Black Hat Seo comes from Google employees.

    The complete bunch of wankers that serve your serps….

About SEOidiot

Hi my name is Paul Madden and I am a UK SEO based in Lancashire, for years I have been cursed by the nickname SEOidiot which started life as a form of abuse from someone but you need to decide for yourself how accurate the term is.

Quotes about me

"It always makes me laugh when people's online personas end up being their industry names and Pauls is no different, but if you have ever sat and shared a beer or 2 and spoken to Paul like I have you will know his displeasure of Yorkshire Tea and his depth of knowledge around Search Marketing, when it comes to SEO Paul is no idiot I can't comment on his taste of tea thou "
