Shawn, my co-administrator, found two emails in his inbox from people requesting to be de-linked.  Let me make this clear - don't be an idiot with your links.  We are here to help, but if you shave the quality of your marketing, it's all your fault.

The first email was from a Canadian Pharma company that asked Google why their ranks dropped, and Google said that it was because of bad link building with the same anchor text from the same website - our website.  "Great!"  I thought, Google's cracking down on cheesy link building.

The next email started off the same way.  A woman was complaining to Google that her rankings dropped, and Google stated it was from "unnatural" links like our RSS feed syndication of her website.  By her request, we removed it.  It was sort of a slap in the face from Google.  I realize it creates duplicate content, so we might have to consider not indexing that part of our site.

Then I got pissed.

Think of the implications of these emails.  You could bomb a competitor's rankings by simply going to a link directory, article directory, or rss syndication site and leaving really "unnatural" crappy backlinks to their site.  The more you outweigh the good links, the worse their rankings will be.

What are you DOING Google?

I've requested the kind woman show me who gave her that information, so I can get to the bottom of this.  This creates all sorts of problems if certain backlinks are actually NEGATIVE link juice.  I understand low quality links shouldn't count, but to go on with a whole anti-spam campaign, it's going to hurt more than help.  Not just us either - all the small businesses on the net who were trying to get an edge.  And it only helps big companies and maniacal competitors.

I like this movie for its brilliant combination of

DEFINITION:

A style of rock music characterized by mass-appeal and simplicity. The term "butt" refers to an analogy that such music must only come from the bowels of society.

Today's Butt Rock Characteristics:

• Raspy vocals mixed loud in order to "hear" the words better.
• Simple riff-oriented guitars for "rockier" parts.
• Simple progression-oriented guitars for "slower" parts.
• Overuse or sole-use of power chords.
• Void of complex "guitar solos".
• Bassist prefers rhythm over riff.
• Predictable drums lacking a dynamic complexity.
• Lyrics lacking morals: gloomy, hateful, party-related, drug-related, etc.

Butt Rock may refer to the entire genres of 70's pop-rock, 80's pop-metal, 90's hair-metal, and today's post-grunge rock. Most forms of popular rock qualify for Butt Rock in some aspect.

Butt Rock bands can be mistaken for one another. This may attribute to its popularity by increasing conversation in finding uniqueness, rather than similarity. A simple test is to ask a child what band is playing, and if he or she says, "could be..." or "Is it...?", it most likely is Butt Rock.

Another simple test is to tell a fan that the rock band is Butt Rock. If the band is not Butt Rock, the fan will be able to discredit your statement with proof of individuality, talent, or a story of historical significance.  Simply stating a list of songs that made the radio or "are awesome" only qualifies the band further for Butt Rock classification.

Butt Rock is often the choice of music at traditional rural "white trash" parties.

EXAMPLES:

Dude 1: "Hey guess what band this is." 
Dude 2: "Hmm... is it Nickelback?" 
Dude 1: "Na, some other Butt Rock band."

Dude 1: "Hinder is so Butt Rock." 
Dude 2: "No..." 
Dude 1: "Tell me one historical thing they have done." 
Dude 2: "Whatever."

Dude 1: "Foo Fighters sounds kinda Butt Rock." 
Dude 2: "Not at all. They are the top-selling post-grunge band, plus their lyrical style is much more poetic." 
Dude 1: "I see what you mean."
