		<description>Mark,

I've been reading through your blog and there are tons of inconsistencies and "facts" that you just don't have straight.    Unfortunately there are Internet Marketers who are actually taking your advice.  I've heard about your (incorrect) techniques and "hunches" on other blogs and forums and I just wanted to confirm for myself that what is being said is true.   Seriously, most of what you're talking about here on this blog isn't correct in any means. The fact that you're even talking about Google PR in the same sentence as Google Adwords goes to show that you're not well informed or educated in the Internet Marketing business. 

Also, the mention that PR has been the "primary way of automating quality analysis in the past" is absolutely incorrect in every way.  Before the newest Google changes, marketers like myself who are very knowledgeable in SEO techniques know that "Relevancy" is the key to getting listed.  PR has nothing to do with it.  I've got PR1 sites in the number 1 search spots above PR6 sites for the same keywords.

In your most recent posts you've been "Trying" to sniff out the algorithm that Google has in place for their Adwords landing page relevance.  Everything you've said is incorrect.  You mention that humans reviewing both natural and paid listings is unlikely.. News flash, Google has been doing this for a long time and has recently increased the "human" aspect of their rankings.  

In your post about "What Determines Quality Score" you're almost incorrect in everything that you say.  It's not a good thing that the owner of "Affilorama" doesn't have a clue about Quality Score and how it works.  If you're not aware that you're making false claims and "bogus" suggestions, you should think again.  It's this kind of inexperience that will ultimately lead to your Affilorama product floundering.  Maybe not now, but once these comments get listed in the search engines, and the news spreads that you have no idea what you are talking about you're going to be in rough shape.  

On some of the larger blogs out there is talk that your blog is an absolute joke!

I'm sorry to come off as being harsh, but this note is for you.  I don't expect that you'll leave it on your blog for very long.  I've also heard about others writing in about your bogus techniques and "facts" and that you've deleted their posts.  

So, with regards to you and your product, I hope that you will consider the fact that your appear to be VERY inexperienced in the topics that you are talking about.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Good luck,

		<description>I love the fact that there is less competition in google now. I have a site that is similar in most ways to the sites that got kicked out, except that mine is about twice as long. 

I think it's just the short pages that got booted, at least that's my take on it because my pages are otherwise no different. I originally optimized them for seo stuff, but it is paying off here in adwords:)</description>

		<description>I find that setting up a new account works well for me:) It's working great, not sure how long this will last. Has anyone else experienced similar?</description>

		<description>Well one good thing to come out of this is there is much less competition in adwords for sites with a quality landing page.  

Now the question is, can their bots really recognize a quality landing page? I'm still seeing landing pages come up with no page rank and the keyword is no where on the page yet they have the high positoins in adwords.  I seriously doubt they are paying $10 per click.

		<description>If Google wants to make such rules, they have every right. We also have every right not to be their customer. That is the route I have taken. 

This bid blackmail happened to me several months ago, I got the same sort of unhelpful answers as Mark. I moved to Overture. Google may say they have other motives, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

Google doesn't run the internet. Google's policies keep a lot of very worthwhile new websites out of their search results. Many of Google's so called relevant search results turn up pages that haven't been updated in years. Among other things, Google is rewarding staleness. 

The natural result of such tyranny is the growth of tagging sites where real people get to vote on worthwhile web pages, whether they were put up years ago, or yesterday.</description>

		<description>Basically, what Google wants is absolute relevancy. And if you're not helping, you're either paying for the loss, or you'll have to see your traffic drop. There isn't much you can do about it, if you can't keep up, you will lose. The only difference here is that this time Google is your competitor, not other companies. And I'm pretty sure Google will know when their boundries are reached; they will do it gently but surely, step by step and avoiding big changes that might scare people off of Google forever. Also, I'm getting the idea that Google prefers pages with a linking structure to pages without them. Basically that means that &#34;real&#34; websites are not experiencing the pressure landing pages do. And that would not be entirely unlogical, pages with a good big structure will almost always have more relevant info than a single scrollpage. You might almost think Google prefers informative websites to business-related websites, because, in effect these landing pages are just those people who advertise on Google. Telling us to up the relevancy of our keywords in our ads with the webpages seems kinda self-explanatory.. right? But I can't blame them for approaching starters, they probably make up for the bulk of Google advertisers.</description>
