Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

That is completely stupid. Google is not preventing EMD's from ranking. Tons are still ranking. They just leveled the playing field and removed the unnatural boost that they used to give to EMD's.

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

Your example is ridiculous. Why does he rank for Matt Cutts? Because nobody else is trying to rank for Matt Cutts. And do you know how many links that site attracts from other high PR sites with the...

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

Saying that the search results are worse after every update is just silly. Maybe in your niche and your little world they look worse to you. However, none of us have the computing power to gather...

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

Re: Google To Crack Down on Low-Quality, Exact-Match Domains

The safest way is to make sure it is no longer indexed first. Kill it in GWT. Maybe add noindex tags as well. Then you have to just wait until it is all out of the index.
