Rand, I’m The Guy Who Ranked You For Snuggie Dog Bed… | Grindstone SEO

SEO is dead. Rand Fishkin is a buttsore on the industry (although OSE is decent) and its nice to see Grind calling him out for what it is.

Get back to work people.

This is rather funny apparently someone wrote a comment mentioning snuggie dog bed or something on this page Startup Marketing: How to Earn Customers Without Paying for Them | SEOmoz

so if it were redirected to that page it would probably weather the google bomb check algorithm

Bummer

Best thread I have ever read!

FYI - there's some suspicion mentioned on Twitter that the spammers may have 301 redirected a domain that was previously ranking for the phrase to the homepage, which gave it the ability to "overcome" the Googlebombing prevention algo (which makes sense - if a company of one name redirects and rebrands, Google would want the new site to rank for the old name).

haahah stfu you sound ridiculous.

haha Danny Sullivan just posted about this on search engine land, linking Grindstone's blog

Did Google's Search Results Get Better Or Worse?

I’ll add that Rand Fiskin daring people to prove negative SEO by trying it against his SEOmoz site ranking for did result in that site ranking for “snuggie dog bed.” That proves you can still Googlebomb pages for a short-period of time. We knew that. Or it proves you can redirect one site to another site to help it inherit rankings. We knew that, too. It doesn’t prove negative SEO can work, but we don’t need that proven. As I said, we already knew that could happen in some specific cases.
