No More NoFollow on Site

Apparently there was some big changes in the Google Algorithme recently.

GoCompare penalised by Google again?

This was the online marketing buzz of the week. Gocompare has been blacklisted from the search engine result pages…. again? Yes, again! It has happened last year already in January 2008.

I have just read the post from Lisa Baronne on Blue Clay Blog, reporting from the SMX advanced 2008. I won’t talk about the whole post but only the information from Michael Gray and his tests on the quality score. The reason I want to talk about that is simply because we actually made some [...]
