Pretty interesting read from Matt Cutts.
"If you pick a bad search engine optimizer (SEO) and they make a ton of spammy doorway pages on your domain, Google still needs to take action."

I wonder if google would have caught it so quickly if the hacker put somewhat decent sites as the links, instead of raping dogs or whatever it was.
 
I don't know about you guys, but Matt Cutts really creeps me out. He reminds me of "Uncle Ernie" from The Who's move "Tommy". A real pedo type of guy.

I am more afraid of how much Google knows about the sites we own. Supposedly Matt Cutts has a way of seeing through the privacy subscriptions when you register a domain. Google can easily see how many domains you own all in one glance. It's creepy big brother things like that...

Since google is technically a domain registrar they have algos access to domain info.

actually Dru, cshel(recent shoemoney show guest), got the skinny on google's big brother act.
it seems they can't get the private info from a domain, but they are definitely using their collective powers to profile webmasters. still creepy.

Thanks, good read. That's a little better news. Maybe they don't know as much about us as we think, but still I would not want any one company to have all information about me. Even in the name of "convenience" and "convergence".

"Do no evil" sounds great until they start getting greedy...
 
Reminds me of the crap I went through when my site got hacked. There was a cpanel exploit patch that I ran but it never fully applied. I know now to double check. Basically some hacker put some code on 2 pages that loaded a trojan from his site. I am not proud that my site was doing this and have take measures to prevent it so happening.

Google/stopadware.org rightly picked up my site and placed a warning interstitial ad between someone clicking a link on google to my site (example see StopBadware.org Report).

My antivirus checker AVG never picked anything up, the only real clue was a strange url flashed across the status bar as the page loaded. I spent a month trying to get the warning message removed. Traffic went down significantly as did revenue ... back to normal now though

That's good to hear that they can't do that, and yeah, it's still creepy. But that was a huge piece of the puzzle that the big G can not see.

@Jon - Yeah Mutt Cutts creeps me out too...he reminds me of a camp children's entertainer!
