"Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens."
- St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians 6:11-12
Having read this Biblical quote and knowing that this is a review of the new Iron Man movie, you would be justified in assuming that the Iron Man suit is somehow related to the "armor of God" and that he is somehow doing symbolic battle with the forces of evil in the Heavens. You could not possibly be further from the Truth.
|Let there be light...
For Iron Man represents the forces of Prometheus who attacked the gods and stole fire from the Heavens and gave it to Man. Hail Prometheus!
|Prometheus by occultist painter Jean Delville
If Iron Man represents Prometheus then Iron Man's enemy must represent one of the other gods of Olympus - but not just any god - the one that bound him as punishment for an aeon. Ah, but be patient. All shall be revealed.
|Prometheus Bound by William Blake
The setting is the site of the New York World's Fair in 1964. Most of you are too young to remember this event. The SYMBOL of the fair was the Unisphere which so prominently features in Iron Man 2.
Creation of Unisphere by USS (United States Steel) video
This celebration took place at the height of the Cold War - just after the Cuban Missile Crisis that brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Despite the moniker of "world's fair", most major European countries and the Soviet Union refused to participate due to a conflict over the rules. One of the largest exhibits at the "fair" was General Motors' Futurama pavilion which purported to show a city of the future.
This was a time when the Race to the Moon had just begun and the Soviets had a huge lead. They had put into orbit the first artificial satellite - Sputnik (which means "co-traveler") - on October 4, 1957. It took Sputnik just 96 minutes to complete one orbit around the Earth. And thus, the "space age" was born.
On April 12, 1961 Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first Man to orbit the Earth.
The first Man to ascend into the heavens - the home of the Gods. Prometheus must have been proud that day of his human protégés.
During his flight, Gagarin famously whistled the tune "The Motherland Hears, The Motherland Knows". The first two lines of the song are: "The Motherland hears, the Motherland knows/Where her son flies in the sky".But the United States with the aid of former Nazi rocket scientist Werner von Braun, who had designed the German V-2 rocket that terrorized England during WW II, was able to not only catch up with the Soviets, but soon overtake them.
[baba: Note that Prometheus and Mother Earth are symbolically closely linked.]
Around the same time, some Western sources claimed that Gagarin, during his space flight, had made the comment, "I don't see any God up here." However, no such words appear in the verbatim record of Gagarin's conversations with the Earth during the spaceflight.
[baba: Isn't it curious how the godless capitalists like to attack the communists for being godless?]

Man had taken his first steps on one of the heavenly bodies which formerly had been exclusively "the home of the gods". Prometheus could truly say at this point in time that he was the proud benefactor of Humanity which was beginning to challenge the gods.
At the New York World's Fair the theme song was provided by Walt Disney. The name was "It's a Small World".
It's a small world after allNever in the History of Mankind had a generation been more effectively brainwashed than the Baby Boom Generation of 20th Century America.
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
ad infinitum... ad nauseam...
And here we are in 2010. The 21st Century. The Golden Age of Mankind.
In the 20th Century technology was used to Land a Man on the Moon. In the 21st Century technology is used to create a half-robot half-man that can fly through the heavens like a god. Hail Prometheus - bringer of fire and light!
|Statue of Prometheus bringing fire down from Mt. Olympus at Rockefeller Center
But this creation does not exist in our physical reality. And yet, he is no less real because he is confined to the 2-dimensional virtual space of a movie screen. Because that image projected on that screen is reflected in our eyes and travels through the optic nerve to the optical processing regions of the brain and forms memories just as real as the ones that we experience in the physical world.
He flies - and we fly. He walks through a crowd of reporters and onlookers - and we walk through a crowd of reporters and onlookers. And he battles - and we battle. And he suffers - and we suffer. And he triumphs - and we triumph. Hail Prometheus! Ruler of us all.
And who does he battle? Who is his enemy? Our enemy. Our immortal foe.
It would seem that the Soviet Russians are back again. But wait. What is this? Our godless communist wears a Cross of Jesus. He carries with him prayer beads.
His Father died and left him with the gift of his knowledge. He completed his Father's dream, and made it a reality.
His weapon is electricity. A lethal spark in the shape of an evil whip. Is he not Evil? Should we not hate and despise him?
And in opposition to him stands the evolution of Iron Man. No longer the ferrous metal of the Romans. But a high-tech material which has Progressed to become impervious to all weapons. Invincible. Unstoppable. Immortal. Like the gods of Olympus.
But our Hero suffers a fatal flaw which threatens to destroy his very life. Iron Man is on the verge of self-destruction.
He reaches out to his Father. And begs, "Father, help me". "Help your son to battle against the son of your immortal foe."
|Freemason god with compass inside all-seeing eye by 18th century mystic William Blake
And the Father receives this message from His Son and reveals to him His Great Plan. But the secrets of the past are hidden in the form of coded messages which only the Chosen can decipher.
As one of the Chosen Scientists, Anthony Stark is able to decode this message from the past and uncover its secret. And behold, a new Element is born.
And this new Element - whose name I do not know, but whose sign is an inverted Triangle - is the Solution which has evaded Tony for all these years. Tony is Saved.
With this new gift from his Father he is able to go out and do battle with the forces that are arrayed against him. And he is able to deliver unto his Enemy a crushing defeat. And we applaud him. He is our Champion. All hail, Prometheus!
Who then is this vile villain against which our Hero battles and eventually Triumphs?
In ancient times it was believed that if one knew the name of one's opponent then one could exert magical powers over him.
The true name of Iron Man's opponent is Zeus. The King of the Gods. The bearer of Lightning and Electricity. It was these same gods of Olympus that had withheld from Man the Power of Technology. Because they knew that once man had acquired these tools of science, that it would only be a matter of Time before Man became greater than the Gods.
|Zeus - Greek god of lightning
If I were to end this story now, I would be doing the evil forces the greatest favor. Why? Because, the devil is practiced at the art of deception. And up until now the only thing that I have revealed is the very same thing that the devil wants to be revealed. The devil lives in a world where up is down, and down is up.
|The "good" white triangle and the "evil" black triangle
|Seal of Satan
|Goat of Mendes - Baphomet
To read the Truth we need to read the devil's message in a mirror. In that reflection we can finally read the True message.
It's time to lift up the veil.
In the Promethean Legend Zeus does not only represent the gods, but Religion itself. And Prometheus is Lucifer - the devil himself. But Lucifer/Prometheus is depicted by the satanic forces as a great hero. Someone or something to be worshipped.
Prometheus is Progress. And according to the devil, all Progress is Good. And also according to the devil, Religion is the Enemy of Progress.
And that is why in the movie Iron Man, the enemy is depicted wearing a Cross. While Iron Man is depicted wearing the Luciferean symbol of an inverted triangle.
|Iron Man with Inverted Triangle Sigil (click to enlarge)
|Fiery fennel emerges from head of Baphomet
[Can you see the similarities between the two figures above? In order to do so you must focus on the overall composition as an artist would and not on the details. The faces and the arms do not match up, in this context. Instead the head of Iron Man corresponds to the flaming fennel which juts out above the head of the Baphomet. And Iron Man's arms correspond to the wings of the goat-faced creature. Notice the hidden embedded inverted triangle inside the pentagram (five pointed star) on the forehead of the Evil One and observe how its position lines up with the Inverted Triangle Sigil on the chest of Iron Man. Just below this on Iron Man's chest are what appear to be a pair of eyes corresponding to the face of the monster.]
|Pentagram - five pointed star
[The space between Iron Man's body and his left arm suggests the downward left arm of the half-human figure, while the v-shaped pose of its right arm is imitated by the outline formed by the illuminated clouds on the right side of Iron Man's body. And in both pictures the lighting seems to be provided by a moon hidden behind the clouds. Now take one last look at the figure of Iron Man and notice how the helmet which encapsulates the skull of the lost soul trapped inside appears to be on fire when contrasted with the rest of the figure. This represents the fire which Prometheus stole from the gods. But this fire also represents the gift of intellect which is the function of the most mysterious of all human organs - the brain. And one final observation. The Iron Man suit is an artificial exoskeleton - like that of an ant or a shark. Interestingly enough their is one part of the human body that God created with a true exoskeleton to protect it - the brain. The human skull is like a helmet which protects and cushions the brain from impact. Which brings up an age old philosophical question. Where is the seat of the soul in the human body? Is it in the intellectual brain encased in the skull, or in the pounding heart surrounded by a skeletal cage?]
The battle that takes place in the Heavens above the Unisphere is between the Christ and the Anti-Christ. Can you figure out by now which is which? The drones are a diabolical representation of God's angels. We are seeing how this battle should take place according to the Anti-Revelation of the satanic forces.
|"Satan arousing the rebel angels" by William Blake
From this satanic point of view, Christ is a monster determined to keep Man from acquiring the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. It is as if the world had been turned upside down and Heaven is below, and Hell is above. Or as if the demons were to occupy Heaven, while the angels were exiled to Hell.
|Demonic parody of Jesus on steroids having a bad hair day
|Sagrado Corazón - Sacred Heart of Jesus
There is one last clue. As the credits are rolling the first song that we hear is "Highway to Hell". Oh, you trickster. See how you dare to reveal yourself to us. What infernal game is this that you are playing?

Step back in time with great black and white photography
Forget your trendy filters and effects for now. Keep your Pocket Wizards in your pocket. Leave all your funky gadgets at home for a while and head out for a day or two of pure and simple black and white photography.
It is a great feeling when you have a purpose to your day's photographic endeavours…a reason to get out and start a project on a particular subject or topic and black and white photography can be very rewarding.
Removing colour from the equation focuses your mind more on actual photography rather than many other "colour-related" factors. Bright and bold colours that normally catch your eye and engage your trigger finger become irrelevant as you start to imagine the world around you in monochrome.
A huge thanks to Headshots of London for writing the following article which explores the depths of black and white photography in more detail.
Set picture styles to monochrome and head over to read the article now.

|A Toy Model of the Instability in the Equatorially Trapped Convectively Coupled Waves on the Equatorial Beta Plane
Andersen, Joseph; Kuang, Zhiming
Note: Order does not necessarily reflect citation order of authors.
|Andersen, Joseph A. and Zhiming M. Kuang. 2008. A toy model of the instability in the equatorially trapped convectively coupled waves on the equatorial beta plane. Journal of Atmospheric Sciences 65(12): 3736-3757.
|Full Text & Related Files:
Andersen and Kuang.pdf (1.946Mb; PDF)
|The equatorial atmospheric variability shows a spectrum of significant peaks in the wavenumber-frequency domain. These peaks have been identified with the equatorially trapped wave modes of rotating shallow water wave theory. This paper addresses the observation that the various wave types (e.g., Kelvin, Rossby, etc.) and wavenumbers show differing signal strength relative to a red background. It is hypothesized that this may be due to variations in the linear stability of the atmosphere in response to the various wave types depending on both the specific wave type and the wavenumber. A simple model of the convectively coupled waves on the equatorial beta plane is constructed to identify processes that contribute to this dependence. The linear instability spectrum of the resulting coupled system is evaluated by eigenvalue analysis. This analysis shows unstable waves with phase speeds, growth rates, and structures (vertical and horizontal) that are broadly consistent with the results from observations. The linear system, with an idealized single intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) as a mean state, shows peak unstable Kelvin waves around zonal wavenumber 7 with peak growth rates of similar to 0.08 day(-1) (e-folding time of similar to 13 days). The system also shows unstable mixed Rossby-gravity (MRG) and inertio-gravity waves with significant growth in the zonal wavenumber range from -15 (negative indicates westward phase speed) to +10 (positive indicates eastward phase speed). The peak MRG n = 0 eastward inertio-gravity wave (EIG) growth rate is around one-third that of the Kelvin wave and occurs at zonal wavenumber 3. The Rossby waves in this system are stable, and the Madden-Julian oscillation is not observed. Within this model, it is shown that in addition to the effect of the ITCZ configuration, the differing instabilities of the different wave modes are also related to their different efficiency in converting input energy into divergent flow. This energy conversion efficiency difference is suggested as an additional factor that helps to shape the observed wave spectrum.

Maybe you've listened to it, or read something about it. Reports say it's been downloaded over 20 million times.
For those who haven't listened to it yet, I will not put any spoilers in this post. I do want to give you some basics, though, and also a little of my reaction to it.
The story is a complex one with a lot of pieces and a lot of social issues. It's a story first and foremost about a middle-aged man named John who lives in what he calls "S*** town" Alabama.
On the map that town is named Woodstock, Alabama, and it's just a hop, skip and a jump from where I live.
|Backroads, Alabama
You couldn't make up a character as layered and interesting as John B. McLemore. You couldn't conjure the conflict that erupts in this story. At first I was just curious. Later I was mad, heartbroken, disturbed - not necessarily in that order. These are my people. This is my Alabama. This is an uncomfortable story with no tidy ending.
It reminds me of something I heard recently about how the poet lives in that space between beauty and despair. I think John lived in that space. I think we all do. Some of us choose to focus on one, some on the other.
HILLBILLY ELEGY by J.D. Vance. Many of the issues Vance brings to light in Appalachian culture are evident in S-TOWN. The distrust of outsiders, the way people hide their problems/addictions/traumas, the way family/home is everything and how without any good examples/role models, kids have a hard time "getting out."
Brian Reed (producer/reporter/narrator of S-TOWN) didn't know what he was getting himself into when he responded to John's first e-mail. The podcast is as much his story as anyone's. We are with him as he peels back layer after layer. This is good storytelling, y'all. I wish so bad my father was still living so we could talk about this one!
Did I say "mad, heartbroken, disturbed"? Yes. All that. And more. Give it a listen. It's worth your (tedious and brief) time.

Myth No. 2: Alternative cancer therapists are quacks unscrupulous, unlicensed, untrained in medicine, out for a fast buck.
In a 1984 study in Annals of Internal Medicine, Barrie Cassileth, Ph.D. and fellow researchers found that 60 per cent of the 138 alternative cancer practitioners they investigated were medical doctors. Of the remaining 40 per cent, many held doctorates in biology, chemistry, or other related sciences and had extensive research backgrounds.
The American Cancer Society's compendium of "Unproven Methods in Cancer Management" is the cancer establishment's chief tool to label some 72 alternative therapies as "pseudoscience," charges Ralph Moss, author of the hardhitting expose The Cancer Industry (Paragon House, NY, 1989). "Just including a scientist's name on the list has the effect of damning that researcher's work and putting the tag of 'quackery' on him," Moss adds. It can lead to loss of funding, great difficulty in publishing, rejection of testing applications and harassment by government and medical associations.
Moss's analysis of the unorthodox therapists whose names appear on the ACS Unproven Methods list reveals that 65 per cent of them were MDs, many from prestigious medical schools; an additional 13 per cent held Ph.D.s in medical or scientific disciplines.
One such scientist was Max Gerson, MD, hailed by Nobel laureate Dr Albert Schweitzer as "one of the most eminent medical geniuses in the history of medicine."
Myth No. 3: Patients who seek alternative therapies are driven by desperation. They're ignorant, gullible, or both.
Contrary to the stereotype, Cassileth's 1984 study found that patients using unorthodox cancer therapies were a lot better educated as a group than patients on conventional treatments only. Most of the patients paid less than $1000 for the first year of alternative treatment costs that are modest compared to expenses of $2,500 per day for conventional US treatments.
Myth No. 4: Alternative cancer therapies are "unproven", therefore untested and unscientific.
In his revealing analysis of the ACS blacklist Ralph Moss discovered that for 44 per cent of those condemned therapies, no investigation at all was carried out by the ACS or any other agency. In another 11 per cent, the investigations actually yielded positive results. Inconclusive findings were reported for 16 per cent. In the remaining cases (28 per cent), the ACS judges determined the methods in question to be ineffective, findings determined through second and third hand reports like magazine articles and foreign medical associations charges Moss.
Five unorthodox cancer treatments, once stigmatized by their inclusion in the ACS blacklist, were later removed from it and now form an accepted part of treatment.
How "Cancer Inc." Suppresses Promising Cures
Today's medical cartel is spearheaded by the American Medical Association with its extremely powerful lobby. The AMA has waged a campaign in Congress and state legislatures to push legislation that strengthens its grip on US health care policies. Over the course of its history the AMA has denounced midwifery, self care, optometry, homoeopathy, osteopathy, acupuncture and lay analysis as being dangerous, fraudulent, or both. In 1987 the AMA was found guilty of restraint of trade in a "conspiracy to destroy and eliminate" the chiropractic profession, a legitimate competitor. The AMA is appealing the case.

Sophos firewall service failure
I am installing new clerk computers. On one of the six I have installed so far, the Sophos firewall icon shows a red X and the message on mouse over says "Service failure". The computer has been rebooted a few times. I haven't found, so far, an option within Sophos to repair the situation. Is there a recommended solution?

Re: Sophos firewall service failure
The only suggestion I can think of is to try and re-install Sophos. The fact that it's only happening on one of 6 suggests that it's something unusual with that one computer, not with Sophos itself.

Ring spinning machine G 36 – Cutting edge technology for superior, economically produced quality yarns
The ring spinning machine G 36 is a further milestone in the development of the successful Rieter ring spinning technology. All proven features of the G 35 predecessor model have been adopted but the energy consumption has been further distinctly reduced with the suction tube ECOrized. The electronically-controlled drafting arrangement drive FLEXIdraft permits highest flexibility. Customers profit from a high-capacity, dependable and high-quality machine with multiple technical spinning solutions. This is the basis for economically produced quality and special yarns.
- With the suction tube ECOrized the energy consumption of the G 36 could be reduced considerably by up to 10%.
- Longer machines with up to 1 824 spindles reduce the production costs per kilogram of yarn as well as the costs for buildings and climatic installations, thereby improving production economy.
- ISM (individual spindle monitoring) is available in the basis version or with extended analysis options provided by the SPIDERweb data system.
- SERVOgrip, the Rieter innovation for real, underwinding-free doffing, eliminates thread underwinding, distinctly reduces fibre fly and thereby ensures dependable and rapid doffing.
- The proven Ri-Q-Draft drafting arrangement with pneumatically-loaded guide arm and the Ri-Q-Bridge for superior spinning conditions form a solid basis for high and consistent yarn quality.
- The direct motor-driven intermediate drive ensures consistent quality with long machines.
- The ring spinning machine G 36 is designed for coarse to finest yarns as well as for special yarns.
- The MEMOset article module stores all necessary spinning parameters. The data can be processed on-screen. The data transfer from machine to machine is carried out via the USB interface.
- The FLEXIstart machine function allows a considerable raw material saving during spinning start-up by quarter resp. half-side starting of the drafting arrangement.

WAG's Gallery Ball Delights the Senses in Support of Kids Programs
WAG's Gallery Ball Delights the Senses in Support of Kids Programs
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is pleased to announce exciting new plans for this year's Gallery Ball, happening on Saturday, October 18. As Winnipeg's black-tie event of the season, the Ball raises funds and awareness of the WAG's kids programs.
"Each year thousands of young people in Manitoba enjoy the WAG's kids programs that share the joys of creativity and encourage a love for the arts," says WAG Director & CEO Dr. Stephen Borys. "Through art classes, school visits, Family Sundays, Summer Art Camps, and more, kids have the chance to experience all that art has to offer. Their horizons broaden as they learn to see the world from new perspectives. It's fantastic to think that the money raised from just one Gallery Ball ticket enables 43 kids to visit the WAG!"
Gallery Ball guests will once again enjoy the rare experience of dining in the permanent collection galleries, which will be complemented by art-inspired floral designs created by the city's top florists. Paired with live entertainment, delectable cuisine, and a dance floor (new this year), Gallery Ball attendees will delight in a dream-like atmosphere, not unlike the Salvador Dali paintings that will be on view in the Masterworks from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery exhibition.
With only 400 tickets available, the Gallery Ball will be shared further into the community via another new initiative for 2014: the launch of an official Gallery Ball blog correspondent, a.k.a. Downtown Peggy. Over the coming months, Peggy will reveal a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the event so unique, and give updates on Gallery Ball plans.

Judge Patrick responds to Billy Sword:
I was hoping Bill Sword would show his face this morning, because I'm in the mood for a fight. I think it's funny how people like to argue that a player's individual achievements mean nothing unless the team succeeds, but yet those same people like to put all of the blame for a teams shortcomings on just one individual.
I guess Lebron should have had a better triple double last night. I guess Lebron should've done something to stop Mo Williams from scoring 4 points in Game 2. It's his fault that Jamison "went off" for 7 points in Game 1. It's Lebron's fault that Williams and Jamison in Game 5, the players that supposedly are the two pieces that make this roster championship worthy, COMBINED for 18 points in the biggest game of the year. Why didn't Lebron stop the Times Square Bomber?
You don't want to talk about the roster around Lebron because it's a argument that you can't win. 4 of the 5 best players in this series wear Celtics jerseys. Big Baby Davis outplayed Jamison for christ's sake.
I noticed that you tried to make your mention of Scottie Pippen as brief as possible. "MJ never had great talent around him." Pippen was only named one of the 50 greatest players of all time and a hall of famer, you friggin idiot. I'm sure that didn't help any. Dennis Rodman, greatest rebounder and interior defender of his time, probably helped out too. They were both just along for the ride, just like those bums Ron Harper and Toni Kukoc were along for the ride. You laugh at that I'm sure, but those guys were good players at that time and played big roles for those teams. I haven't even gotten to Phil Jackson. More titles than any other coach in history. I guess it was just a coincidence that Jordan didn't win anything until they fired Doug Collins and brought in Jackson.
"Is that too much to ask of the supposed greatest player in the game? The ability, in a tight elimination game, to take over a quarter."
I guess you weren't watching the night that Lebron scored his teams final 25 points, leading them to victory against Detroit on the road. You seem to be convinced that the Lakers were Kobe's team from the first day that he got there, and that Kobe has been this clone of Jordan that just eat, sleeps, and breathes winning. What was Kobe doing that one year against Phoenix in Game 7 when he took a total of 3 shots in that game? Would Phil Jackson draw up a game plan that would leave the unquestioned leader, and best player of the team, with just 3 shot attempts? Or was Kobe just being a selfish baby. Your memory is quite selective.
Lebron is 25 years old. He has been in the playoffs 5 out of 7 years, averaging 29 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts. He's the only other player, besides Oscar Robertson, to average 27-6-6 for three years straight. He IS the best individual player in the NBA, but you can't win championships with just one man. You have to surround players like Lebron, Kobe, MJ with competent talent, and coaching, in order to win it all. When that happens, whether it is in Cleveland, New York, Chicago, or Baghdad, Lebron will win multiple championships. He's just too good not to. Until then, I guess he's going to have to listen to critics like Bill Sword, who thinks that a guy that averages nearly a triple double throughout his playoff career, is a glorified T Mac. What a horseshit line of thinking that is, Billy!
One last thing: until Lebron's son takes his dead body and cuts his head off so that he can stick it in a freezer in hopes of somehow being able to profit off his DNA, do not compare him to that lifetime loser, Ted Williams.
Now go fuck yourself. Judge Patrick.
Billy Sword:
Typical response from a Washington area sports fan, where the offseason and regular season seem just as important as the post season- you know, where championships are won.
You probably think it's okay that the Caps choked now that at least that same 8 seed beat the Penguins. Same fan that thinks McNabb is better than Eli Manning, when in comparable championship situations, one led his team to a title, while the other played the role of the big bad wolf and huffed and puffed and blew it in the 4th quarter.
Sometimes stats don't matter, especially when we're talking playoffs, you want to talk about playoffs..."playoffs??". Maybe Ovi and Lebron can enjoy a much needed MVP cruise together, while the real players are still chasing the hardware. So Judge Patty, continue to keep making excuses for those players that are supposed to be in the discussion for the greatest of all time, and while you're at it build yourself your own 'little' Mt. Rushmore of current sports stars, which can include Ovi, Lebron, Dale Jr., and Donovan.
Billy Sword
Judge Patrick fires back:
Is rape part of the process of becoming a winner? Maybe Lebron should travel to Colorado and ask the front desk girl to "fix his tv." Oh, my bad. Not to slander, I forgot, Kobe got off on that. (allegedly roughing up the suspect after she left)
Typical response from a Washington area sports fan??? Spare me, globe trotter. You root for the Steelers, Red Sox, Lakers, and the U, down in Miami. Does your sports gear come with a compass?
Is Trent Dilfer a better QB than McNabb? Is Mark Rypien better than McNabb? No and no. They were lucky enough to land on great teams, teams good enough to win a championship. All I'm saying is that in team sports, regardless of how great of a individual talent you may have on that team, you need to have a complete TEAM in order to win it all. The Giants don't beat the Patriots, despite Eli's efforts, without that pass rush. You can pick and choose examples all day long to fit the argument. People just take too much joy in pinning all the failures, but none of the success, on high profile players like Lebron and Ovie.
Lastly, just so there is no confusion, I want to make sure I have this straight. By your own standards, Ted Williams and his frozen head that his own son had cut off so that he could try and profit from selling the DNA, is a loser, right?

Has PSYCH reached Season 5 already? Wow. Not that I'm complaining, it's just that time flies when Shawn and Gus are having fun. After having their way with so many classic movie genres (horror, adventure, Western, etc.) over the course of the series, PSYCH finally got to check another notable one off their list in this season premiere: the martial arts film. In addition, we picked back up from where we left off last season: with Shawn's father Henry taking a job with the Santa Barbara Police Department and Juliet recovering from her harrowing near-death experience at the hands of still-at-large serial killer Mr. Yin. Like many of PSYCH's season premieres, this one was about average. I was hoping for a bit more of an interesting mystery, but as usual, the performances by James Roday and Dule Hill made up for the overly familiar story.
The plot (as they alluded to on many occasions) was Romeo and Juliet or West Side Story with an Asian twist. The children of rival Triad gang leaders fell in love and had to hide their relationship, or else a full-scale war between the gangs would break out. Their tryst was discovered by the evil brother of one of the lovers, which led to betrayal, kidnapping, scheming and a couple of fight scenes.
As far as original stories go, this wasn't one of PSYCH's strongest, and things got a bit muddled in the middle of the episode. It was difficult to figure out who was part of which Triad family, especially when everyone was wearing ninja outfits. However, it did lead to Shawn taking a children's martial arts class and getting his overinflated ego kicked a few times, which was highly entertaining.
Normally I would have a problem with PSYCH settling for an uninspired villain such as the Triads, simply because they're the villains in EVERY movie featuring Asian actors. Hell, I'm pretty sure they were the villains in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But fortunately, they played up this cliche by introducing a new character, Ken, who was Shawn and Gus' recently fired secretary, who also happened to be Asian. Poor Ken became their de facto "in" into the world of Asian gangs, even though he barely spoke Chinese and knew nothing about the Triads. I loved that he called them on their stereotypical behavior and I loved Shawn and Gus' serious backpedalling as a result.
Speaking of stereotyping and racism, by far the best scene of the episode was Gus' take-down of the lowly worker at the martial arts studio, (which also happened to be the secret hideout of one of the gangs.) Normally Shawn gets the big speech with funny references and over-dramatic hand gestures, but this time out, they gave it to Gus, who did not disappoint. His tirade against the racist, ageist and exclusionary practices of the dojo (which really weren't any of these things) was a great way to give Dule Hill the spotlight while also moving along the investigation. I really hope Gus asserts himself more this season, not only because he's a great character, but because his style as a detective is a different type of controlled chaos than Shawn's. A little bit smoother perhaps.
As for the other developments in the episode, I understand they needed to do something with Shawn's dad, but putting him back on the force was unnecessary. And on top of that, putting him in charge of police consultants (i.e. Shawn and Gus) doesn't feel organic. It reminds me a little of the talent show episode of The Brady Bunch where the only participants in the entire school were the Brady kids and their parents. No one else had talent? By the same token, no one else could do Henry's job? Why do the characters all need to work in the same place? Shawn already has a foil at the police station in Detective Lassiter, so why add another? I liked Henry's perspective as an outsider. I liked that he was a fresh pair of eyes. Now there's just more conflict for the sake of adding conflict, and there was plenty of that on the show already.
I did appreciate how they didn't gloss over Juliet's traumatic experience in last season's finale and that she had to take some time off from the SBPD. I also liked how Shawn helped her get back in the saddle by being his charmingly persistent and annoying self. Once again, we're back to square one with these two, but I'm not going to worry about it this season. They've strung us along for five seasons, so if something happens, so be it. As for the episode in general, it was okay, but PSYCH is capable of much more. I'm looking forward to another strong season of notable cameos, funny pop culture references and Shawn and Gus solving crimes by any means necessary.

AAT Battle Tank
The marriage of repulsorlift technology and heavy armor has resulted in formidable floating tanks known as AATs. These assault tanks form the frontline of Trade Federation armored infantry divisions, as well as Separatist forces during the Clone Wars. A crew of battle droids drives the battle tank and operates the array of laser and projectile weaponry carried by the vehicle.
- Length: 9.19m ,
Designed by Baktoid Armor Workshop, the Armored Assault Tank first saw service during the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo, anchoring the droid armies' heavy infantry.
The AAT's heavy weaponry made it a mainstay of the Separatist war machine, with armored divisions steamrolling opposition on many Republic worlds.

Battle Droid
Rather than use flesh-and-blood warriors, the Separatists prefer mindlessly loyal soldiers that are easily controlled. The soulless ranks of their armies are dominated by tall, thin B1 battle droids built as mechanical imitations of their Geonosian designers. Battle droids can be controlled by centralized command centers such as the Trade Federation's enormous Droid Control Ships, or programmed for independent action. They often suffer programming glitches that manifest as personality quirks. Battle droids are dim-witted and no match for clone troopers or Jedi, but they weren't designed to be smart – they were designed to overwhelm Republic civilians through sheer numbers, something they do very effectively.
Trade Federation
One of the wealthiest corporate organizations in the galaxy, the Trade Federation controlled most of the interstellar shipping passing through the Rim territories. The Trade Federation was headed by Viceroy Nute Gunray, and even had its own representative in the Republic Senate to lobby for even greater power. On the orders of Darth Sidious, the Trade Federation sent its battle droids to invade Naboo to create a government crisis. During the Clone Wars, the Trade Federation secretly signed on as a member of Count Dooku's Separatist organization, though representatives in the Senate tried to deny this.
Confederacy of Independent Systems
The Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatist Alliance, was a collection of star systems and corporate titans that left the Republic and fought for independence against the Republic's clone armies and Jedi Knights. The charismatic former Jedi Count Dooku was the Alliance's political leader, while its military power came from credits and assets donated by powerful galactic trade groups. No one suspected that the Alliance was actually a tool of Darth Sidious, who had engineered the Clone Wars as part of a Sith plot to rule the galaxy.
STAPs are lightweight reconnaissance and patrol vehicles used by the battle droids of the Trade Federation army (and later, the Separatist Alliance). Incorporating repulsorlift technology, the STAP (single trooper aerial platform) is a slim, agile craft sporting a pair of blaster cannons. STAPs are often deployed as support vehicles in conjunction with larger craft.
DDT tank
Lok Durd, a weapons developer and general in the Separatist army, conceived of the Defoliator as a means of eradicating living troops and terrain while leaving the battle droid forces unscathed. Once detonated, a Defoliator capsule creates a growing radius of destructive energy that scorches all living matter in its path. To launch these specialized warheads, Durd developed the DDT -- the Defoliator deployment tank -- a modified AAT that can support a heavy artillery launcher as its primary turret armament. For increased stabilization, the tanks lower skirt extends further back than a standard AAT, increasing the length of the vehicle to over 12 meters.
Jar Jar Binks
A clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life. Putting his awkward past behind him, Jar Jar left the swamps of Naboo to enter the even murkier waters of Coruscant politics, becoming a representative for his people in the galactic capital. There, his best intentions and eagerness to serve were exploited by scheming Senators and others in positions of power.

It sometimes sucks, being a publisher in a post-Penguin, post-Panda world. It's great that Google is cleaning up webspam, but it's not so great to be on the receiving end of stupid demands from people who give the SEO industry a bad name.
What am I talking about? Dubious links, that's what. Or should I say dubious links on a supposedly authority website (ours), that have been flagged up by dubious SEO tools. Emails with 'please remove this link' make our hearts sink.
What else? Dubious expectations. Why is it that publishers like Econsultancy are expected to clean up the mess? This is the last thing I want us to be doing. "It will be good for both of us," they say, with various degrees of menace. No it won't. It's a cost to our business, and to the publishing industry more broadly.
We have always been hugely supportive of the SEO industry, and as a web business we've always tried to stay on top of SEO best practice. As such it is deeply frustrating to be on the receiving end of requests to remove 'suspicious' links, or to add no_follow to links that I think are perfectly acceptable.
I'm not planning on revealing any names here, but let me explain what I'm talking about. There are three areas for concern. The first two are linked to stupid, short-term thinking, and needless panic. The last one might indicate that Google is changing the goalposts around guest blogging.
Is this the tip of the iceberg, or a few isolated incidents that we're experiencing?
Emails from SEO agencies that want us to remove old links
We recently heard from an SEO agency that had taken on a new client. The client's old agency had published a press release on our site, seven years ago. The press release included a link to the client's website, within the opening couple of paragraphs, but no shady anchor text.
The email we received went along these lines:
Please can you remove or no_follow the link?
Our stock response is 'no'. Why? Because there are better things to be doing, mainly, but for a press release that is more than half a decade old we simply refuse to do this. It's a waste of everybody's time, and is unimportant, archived content. Furthermore the press release distribution tool did not include 'free post-publication editing services', and we don't want to undertake link sculpting of any kind.
So, having told the SEO agency that we don't edit old press releases things escalated somewhat…
If the link cannot be removed we will add it to our Google Disavow list.
Great. So now we're being threatened. Clearly we don't want to find our way onto a Google shitlist, but I hate this kind of shakedown. It is completely unreasonable for SEO agencies to expect publishers to clear up their mess, especially when the link in question seems perfectly valid. As I pointed out, if we were to receive 100 similar requests every day then we'd get nothing done.
In some cases guest bloggers have heard from SEO agencies that want links removed… links that have been earned, that they have naturally placed in their articles, and that are perfectly acceptable. I find it mindboggling. It seems that a lot of folks have a bad case of The Fear.
Emails from brands that want us to remove links to infographics
We've also heard from brands that have created and shared infographics with us, and presumably with the whole world thereafter. I know that penalties have been meted out for excessive infographic sharing, and in some cases there is concern about link profiles (or perhaps, more accurately, with link velocity, as successful infographics can sometimes accrue too many new links too quickly, for Google's liking at least). In short, I think publishers and brands alike need to be more careful with infographics. A win isn't always a win.
We have been pitched thousands of infographics over the past few years, and we've always viewed them with a certain degree of scepticism. Some of them have made it onto the site: the ones that contained interesting content, and that weren't terribly designed. This is what editorial people should be good at.
Last summer Google's Matt Cutts said that he:
...would not be surprised if at some point in the future we did not start to discount these infographic-type links to a degree. The link is often embedded in the infographic in a way that people don't realise, vs. a true endorsement of your site".
It now seems that this has happened / is happening, so be warned.
The above quote seems to directly reference embed codes, which provide writers with a quick and easy way to share content. They essentially point at third party websites to access content, so they're a great way to build links. But if they have a habit of breaking then we publishers will stop using them. That aside, we a) perfectly well understand how they work and b) do not publish rubbish on our website. Embed codes do not suck… only low quality content sucks. Smart publishers do not publish low quality content.
But now it seems that some people have started to freak out, and in their state of panic they have – in some cases - removed the infographics from their own website, along with everything that goes with it. That means that some embed codes that we have used to display some infographics no longer work: they simply point to a 404 page.
It is these '404 links' that people ask us to remove, which is fair enough. But from a publisher's perspective it is akin to an act of vandalism. Posts that contained these (now AWOL) infographics by way of an embed code now display nothing at all, or a missing image icon. It leads to the disfigurement of our blog. It also makes us look rather silly, and it gives us a very good reason to avoid using embed codes in the future.
It is deeply frustrating to have to spend time cleaning up these pages (the very same pages that PR / SEO / marketing people wanted us to create when pitching us in the first place). Must we keep an eye on all pages with third party infographics or embed codes, as a kind of hygiene factor? Boring. I'd be more inclined to ban infographics completely, and get on with creating new, unique content, but that seems like a kneejerk reaction to a relatively small – though potentially worrying – problem.
Emails from guest bloggers, who have been notified about suspicious links from Google
Now, I haven't heard from Big G directly, but I have heard from a couple of our guest bloggers that they have received warnings from Google about suspicious links. Among the examples shown to them were their 'signatures' on the Econsultancy blog.
Their signature is a brief bio that can be found at the foot of each post, in a little box that sits separately to the main body of the article. I see no reason why these signature links should be considered in any way sketchy.
Here's what a bio looks like, and we're very much into standardisation - a name, role and company, and a few social profiles. I've chosen Mark at random - as far as I know he hasn't been contacted:
This is just good manners, from where I'm sitting. I simply cannot believe that this sort of thing poses any problems for Google, so I'm very surprised to learn that these links have raised eyebrows.
We have some firm rules about the signatures. Firstly, they should follow our standard format, and we never allow bloggers to use descriptive anchor text: a company name will link to a company website, but we won't allow them to write 'amazing digital agency in London'. Frankly we think worse of people who think that sort of thing is a good idea.
We are also have some clear guidelines for guest bloggers, in order to maintain the quality of content on this blog. One of those rules is 'no promo', and anything deemed too self-referential will not be published. Guest bloggers are invited to talk about the subjects that they know about, rather than the amazing things they have done for their clients. All posts by guest bloggers are unique to Econsultancy: we do not allow cross-posting. All posts are edited prior to publication. It is not in our interests to lower the quality bar. Google needs to recognise that not all guest blogging operations are the same.
In January we asked a few search experts about the future of SEO. Rishi Lakhani, who is often ahead of the curve, called it:
I am pretty sure that Google will target guest posting soon. As a result, am staying away from author signature / profile links at the end of the post. If it isn't in the main body, I don't want it.
This may now be the case, and we may have to review what we're doing in this area. But I for one think it is ridiculous: I don't believe that the Google algorithm is that stupid. We're led to believe that it can identify different types of links on a page, and apply different weightings. Do we really think that a link in the comments area of a blog that does not adopt no_follow will be given the same value as a descriptive link in the opening paragraph? No.
Does Google really want writers to shoehorn a link into the body text of a post, every time they submit a guest blog, because they don't have a valid link in their signature? That's only going to worsen the quality of the content. So much for our 'no promo' guidelines.
I guess we'll wait and see. If other guest bloggers from this or any other publication have had a word in their ear from Google then now is the time to shout about it. Is this actually becoming a thing? Incidentally, I'm not alone in worrying about guest blogging, and I also consider the many 'guest post' requests we receive to be akin to reciprocal link spam.
This post is something of an open letter to Google, and it would be good to get some guidance. I don't think we're doing anything wrong, far from it, but if Google is narrowing its eyes in our direction then like to find out about it sooner rather than later, and preferably in an open and transparent way.
Any insight from search experts and fellow publishers – and Google itself - would be great. Do leave a comment below.

Well said Chris. Really interesting to hear the story from your side of the fence.
I agree with you - Google can't be that stupid.
Even if it can now see the whole web and therefore know the exact average percentages that represent 'normality' it would be foolish to push these elements of the algorithm too much further.
If they do they'll be breeding mediocrity - a world in which your marketing attempts need to not be so good as to go viral, but not so poor as to only target low authority blogs!
I'm very concerned to read about this, Chris. Particularly that Google may be targeting guest blogging links. How can they justify that? I'll be interested to hear more if others have more information.
Sadly a lot of people are culling links they SHOULD not. Others are being hammered by bad links. The primary is that google is trying to do one thing and one thing only:
Devalue EASY methods of acquiring high quality links.
I had warned many people as you rightly point out Chris, and a load of them just laughed...
I can't believe people would have the nerve to ask you to waste your time editing old content. All this Google worship is also getting incredibly annoying, so let's hope that we get some more healthy competition in the search domain.
Excellent points indeed Chris and I cannot for the life of me imagine content on E-Consultancy being classified as spam or for the site authority to be challenged as being dubious.
If that is the case, I am not sure what role other blogs and sites with lesser authority and resource have in this new web "Gooniverse"!!
Looking at the press release example from an SEO agency perspective, if the release had a keyword anchor text link then it has to be removed or the site will not recover from the penalty. If you won't remove it then the agency should certainly disavow it. Appreciate that threatening you isn't the way to do it though.
The main problem is that most people doing link removal work can't tell good links from bad links. We've helped 35 brands recover in the past 6 months and it's pretty tough work at the start but once you get an understanding of the links then it's not too bad.
@Tim - Imagine a client request: "We want to go viral, but not too viral!" Bonkers!
@Patrick - We have never allowed descriptive anchor text within press releases. So the best you could do would be to write "Econsultancy (www.econsultancy.com) today released blah blah...", if you wanted a link included. It's why I find these kinds of requests so baffling. They're not particularly special.
I do understand, and I empathise to some degree, though from a publisher's perspective, an SEO agency is being paid - in some cases considerable amounts, over a period of months - to fix up link profiles. The publisher is not being paid to undertake this sort of clean up work. It is direct cost to our business, and an unacceptable cost if things scale up.
I think Patrick has made the key point here:
"The main problem is that most people doing link removal work can't tell good links from bad links."
What Google has been doing over the past 18 months or so has got a lot of slightly informed people very worried about 'link profiles', when in a lot of cases they don't need to be.
The press release example you've used is a clear illustration of this. Just because it is an anchor text link, doesn't necessarily mean it HAS to be removed. All their other anchor text links on less relevant sites is what they should be focusing on.
I think any link from econsultancy to an SEO agency would be considered a 'good' link by Google.
First of all, great post. It nicely articulates a fascinating but clearly frustrating SEO development which places an 'admin burden' on everyone downstream from Google.
One of Econsultancy's great stances has been how you have always talked about things as they affect your own business, so really appreciate this honest and open insight on your part.
Isn't this avoidable by clarity from Google (or as close as they want to get to this) on the effect of time on links so that those from seven years ago, don't need to removed as will not be regarded as toxic?
First time I've heard of guest post author bios being an issue. Sure, a contextual link higher up in the copy seems to pass a stronger amount of juice, therefore preferable from an SEO standpoint, but cannot see how signature links are in any way sketchy.
1. Econsultancy is a legit brand and has a high bar for content so doubt it's on any shitlist. Right?
2. Guest posts, if they offer value (measured roughly with time on page + engagement), seems to work wonders SEOwise, more so now that many other links forms dropped in value. Anyone guest posting here won't be spamming - so how is a link from this site negative?
Thanks for all of your comments.
@Nicola - Guest blogging is definitely used and abused by shady SEOs and shady publishers alike. So I'm not surprised to see it come under review, but our editorial rules are so stringent that I don't see how we could be affected by any sort of clampdown. A non-descriptive link in an obvious bio should not be a cause for concern, from Google's perspective.
@Rishil - He who laughs last...! You are bang on, again.
@Kaveh - You'd be surprised how often it happens. I'm sure lots of other publishers are on the receiving end too. It's just not cricket.
@Amit - I don't think Google has a problem with this site, but if signature links are being looked at then we may need to do something about it. If that is the case it says more about Googlebot than it does about our site.
@Luke - Yes, I agree. I understand that a Google update can instill fear into people, but I think some folks are starting to panic unnecessarily.
@Simon - Thanks. As you know, we like to be our own case study, partly for the benefit of others, and partly so that we can find out some answers. A problem shared! Do links have a kind of half life? I'm not so sure that they do. Indeed, some links may accrue value over time. Interesting concept though, and one that merits further discussion.
@Filip - Me too, I was shocked to hear that non-descriptive links in bios had been flagged as potentially dubious (or whatever the label was). I hope we're not on a shitlist, and I agree that guest posts on this site could not remotely be considered 'spam'. But it's a worry to hear that bio links have been highlighted.
Thinking about it from Google's perspective though, it does make sense to do this if you consider their moves towards a canonical authorship model hosted on Google+.
If you were using rel=author to point to your Google+ page in guest posts, in theory you wouldn't need any footer links (or in-content links for that matter) right? Hence by devaluing this type of link, they would be providing an incentive to use their identity model, rather than the more 'primitive' links to various web pages.
Maybe someone more technically minded than me will know of a way, but would Google be able to algorithmically distinguish between bio links and body links?
It seems more likely that signals would be used to evaluate the quality of the website hosting the article rather than segment a section of the page to downgrade a link.
For example, Google recently downgraded page rank for news websites that accepted paid editorials across the whole website - surely they would just do this on sites that it thinks are abusing guest posts rather than just target bio links?
More than happy to be called wrong on this!
It's only going to get worse for publishers. Wait until SEOs start asking you to add Authorship Markup to your sites because Google only trusts content/links from verified and trusted authors.
I regards to the article, personally I think most SEOs completely overreact to new "guidelines" from Google.
Just my two cents.
"Among the examples shown to them were their 'signatures' on the Econsultancy blog"
WMT warning emails never include examples they are always really vague. Where are they getting the examples from? Can we see a copy of the warning?
I liked this post because it's not the typical doomsday crap that everyone throws around. Instead of wearing a sandwich board that says 'the end is nigh' and a tinfoil hat, this post offers a rational analysis and asks valid questions.
It'd be a bummer if the bio box and guest posts were targeted-- not because all guest posts are great (we all know how much rubbish there is), but because I think the bio box is the most organic, nice-looking, sensible way to feature someone's bio. Anchor text or branded link or whatever else. Targeting bio boxes would be making the web a worse/less searchable place.
I like Stay on Search's idea, but they're big enough for it to work for them. Page One Power isn't. I have pretty strict criteria for who I'll even respond to re: guest post pitches, and so far we've only published one. I get it, everyone wants a link. But I want there to be something relevant and something I can actually bear to read (even enjoy) around the link, because I feel like that's what the web should be.
Sorry for writing a novel, Chris.
It's easy to get frustrated or laugh at the requests to remove links when you're on that side of the fence. However, once econsultancy sits on the other side of the fence (and it can happen to even the best of sites), then suddenly you feel the pain of trying to determine which links to remove.
It's not as easy as it may seem, and when desperation hits - i.e. when the bottom drops out, traffic and revenue dries up, and month after month goes by with no recovery...well...at that point, you could very likely be the one someone complains about. At that point, you'll do just about anything to solve the problem, and you'll probably inadvertently ask for some links to be removed that aren't hurting your site. It happens.
It also happens that many site owners will ignore your requests or refuse your requests. If it's just one...not that big a deal. But when many or most of them do, then you see your chance of recovery getting slimmer and slimmer, and you know that the only next best solution is to use the disavow tool. And you will.
Never assume that Google would not be stupid enough to make this or that decision. They have and they do...all the time. I'm sure it is frustrating to have to deal with these chores, but if the shoe is ever on the other foot, you'll be grateful when a publisher doesn't refuse your request. Just sayin'...
Number 2 and 3 are valid. Number 1 is just stomping your feet. There's this short-sighted behavior where every publisher rolls their eyes and complains about how these same SEOs were begging to add their links four years ago. This is great...assuming it was the same people that did it. Lumping them all together is convenient hand-waive to demonize your target and excuse your righteous indignation.
And for the record, I'm an in-house who doesn't do any of the above. I'm just really sick of publishers venting about things that aren't so simple.
One small observation - I have noticed that eConsultancy has been targeted relatively frequently by comment spam. Perhaps this is a contributing factor to this issue as my guess is that comment spam may draw more attention to this issue and, possibly, eConsultancy.
Hi Chris,
A good read and an interesting take on the situation!
I wouldn't worry too much about the Press Release/News based websites as Google implemented at the end of the year a no follow policy in one of its many algorithm updates to no longer follow the links on these websites as too many SEO Companies and individuals were utilising press distribution services for theirs, and there clients benefit... They are still however an incredible branding and awareness device if utilised correctly, basically creating content people actually want to read...
I would personally consider checking what kind of information was left on your website in more recent years as this could have an adverse effect on you Domain Authority, Page Rank and if you are doing some form of SEO can effect your positions within the search engines.
Good luck!!
Bravo, I wish more would take a stand against Google. They seem to put no thought into what they do, resulting in people following guidelines that then suddenly change in the future.
Why should Google be able to have an opinion on what or is not spam on somebody else's website? I allow guestposts on my site, I certainly don't allow spam posts and why should I not allow a link within the post or one within the bio box?
All this talk about varying anchor text, I really have no idea what to do anymore (I'm not an SEO, just a small guy running his own business), on the talk of anchor text, go and look at how links are configured over on Google plus, it's certainly not just branded links, it puts in the Meta tag title - which can be anchor text rich if you set it up so!
They have no idea anymore, Matt Cutts supposedly gives helpful answer through his videos, yeah right Google's Minister of dis-information who seems to take delight in warning of impending updates to come.
A disgruntled small business owner who tries to do everything the right way!
I completely understand your frustration however it is Google that changed everything, not the SEO industry and they can do just about anything that they want with no recourse.
If Econsultancy suddenly vanished from Google one sunny Friday morning with disastrous affects to you, your staff and clients and an investigation by yourselves led you to believe that a link to your site from a previously Google 'trusted' source and manner was one of the likely the reasons, would you sit back and just say 'oh well' out of principle or would you reach out and try to salvage your online business? Whilst you use 'nofollow' in blog comments, what if Google decides that there is case to penalise this next year or they deem that your premium agency listing links are paid links?
Most agencies will have had to carry the burden over the last year of tediously identifying and requesting links be removed on behalf of clients that don't feel that it is their responsibility to pay for the time incurred regardless of how long ago or who created the link in the first place. In my opinion, distributing AND publishing are both stuck with a potential resource overhead and Google is responsible.
The root of the issue is that Google is not clear when it comes to what is good and what is bad, they have everyone guessing and fighting the link scheme / bad link issue in the dark. If the rules were CLEAR, then people would NOT overreact.
Great post thanks Chris,
It's nice to see the other side of the equation and I can empathise with your frustration.
I find it rather disturbing that Econsultancy have been receiving so many "please remove my link" request.
Econsultancy are an authoritative site within their vertical, they only give a site link (no anchor text). Also the content will bear relevancy to the site link.
These are the types of links that you strive for, these are not paid, the posts are selected on merit, no guaranteed inclusion and no anchor text; unless I have been misreading this post.
I would say that the link would be relevant, hence valuable to the user, not bought, no optimised for anchor text, so what could be considered "dubious"?
Thanks for a great article and an interesting perspective.
It is sometimes necessary for us to clean up a client's link profile.
When a client receives an 'unnatural' links penalty it can have a real impact on their business, as traffic can drop considerably.
We use tools to shortlist the links which are most likely to be of poor relevance to the client, then review each site manually to make our final outreach list. Sometimes you can just tell from the url... but often we will visit sites and make a decision.
Finding contact details for sites on our list can take time and is sometimes impossible.
A 'soft' approach, asking ever-so-nicely for the link take-down, just doesn't seem to encourage as many responses, as explaining that as part of our reconsideration submission, the site will be included in a disavow report if the link isn't removed. It isn't intended as a threat, but is intended to create some impetus to act in the interest of both parties. We get the link removed, and they don't go on our disavow report.
Sorting wheat from chaff is a tedious and time-consuming process for us too and hard to 'sell' to clients. Getting a client site successfully reconsidered by Google requires evidence of effort as well as outcomes.
The issue over links in author bios is just Google forcing your hand to use authorship mark up. And if you use authorship you might as well use G+.
G+ got slammed when it first launched; people didn't like it, people didn't want it and it didn't get used as Google had hoped. Google's reaction - you'll use it one way or another! This is their back door to squeeze everyone through.
BTW I actually quite like G+ now
Chris, great piece, and I apologise on behalf of the SEO community for the idiots who try to pass themselves off as SEOs... they give us all a bad name.
On guest blogging - I can foresee an update targeting the worst abuses, but the abuses are so blatant, it's akin to article marketing circa 2005. There's so much rubbish being posted on rubbish sites, I'm sure Google's clever enough to sort the wheat from the chaff.
On removing links - only a fool would try to disavow a link from econsultancy.com. You're doing the right thing (and a favour) by telling them to 'do one'. :)
I think it is quite unfair that because some people get scared of the update and since they can't influence Google's decision, they turn to the publishers. This is overreaction.
I find amazing that so many people feel that the link profiles they were recommending on behalf of their clients only a few months ago are now deemed worthy of removal. Couldn't people see this coming? After all Google's guidelines have been pointing this out, to my recollection (I thought about a URL) since last October.
Corny looking links = Corny SEO.
Sensible looking links = Sensible SEO.
Hi Chris, great article thank you!
I don't understand why Google would be concerned with signatures when they are promoting and ranking content with authorship links to Google+.
Chelsey interesting point. Have you noticed how many of the SEO forums have gone very quiet since the issues around signature links surfaced?
I don't suppose this is in response to the recent headline article from the 10 April econsultancy newsletter is it?
When Matt discusses Scrapebox on this page, it includes the line: "hundreds of other awesome jobs that this can automate." made up of 4 end to end links.
My thoughts on reading that part of the page was "blimey, that doesn't half look spammy to me". If Google thought so too, I wouldn't be knocked over in surprise.
Econsultancy is extremely well written and I was a bit taken a-back by seeing those end to end links.
Matt Cutts farts and the world thinks a new symphony is born. He may be getting more scrutiny than Ben Bernanke (Chairman of the Federal Reserve). That has to be a tough job.
@Benedict - No connection with that - the link mentioned by Google was in the author bio of a guest post. I take your point about the end to end links, but the purpose on this occasion was to get the links in without taking up much space.
@ Don Nice quote!
Thank you Graham, useful to note.
Those are great tips by Chris Lake and thank you very much for the sharing. Can't wait to share your post with my Google+ readers!
Hi Chris,
Loved reading this blog, and all the comments with it.
As some of the other people have already mentioned, baffled by the first 2 points as eConsultancy has such strong authority - I'm sure you get so many people chomping at the bit to get links from you, as opposed to removing them? I only imagine that some companies are trying to remove all of their links without a proper strategy as @patrick and @luke said.
The whole thing got me thinking about how reliant eConsultancy is on Google. Obviously in a commercial/ competitive market like ours, having good visibility for unbranded keywords is imperative , but for you guys, even if the big G did strike you down for the 3rd point re: bio links (highly unlikely but I'm just pondering) then I imagine most of your customers would still come back time and time again via your daily emails, daily twitter updates etc? i.e. you must have a very loyal base?
Thanks again for a great read,
Really good read and a lot of food for thought, especially within the comments. It seems like quality publishers are stuck in the middle of the firing line. But after reading the few comments above mine, maybe there is more cause to combat blog spam :)
HI Chris,
I only just came across this article- very well said by the way all the points you made are valid and perfectly understandable! I'm wondering, did anyone from Google every contact you in the end? If so, did they enlighten you?
@Joana - Thanks. No, not as yet. I've tweeted in the direction of Matt Cutts for some clarification, so we'll see.
@Abdi - All cleared up now. The bastard spammers are more cunning than ever. We're working on better tech in this area.
@Heledd - We attract more than a quarter of a million visits a month from Google, which is great, and which we clearly don't want to lose (having worked hard to attain decent search positions). It makes for a chunky slice of the inbound traffic pie chart, and is why we take these things seriously!
Cleverly written post Chris!
I am one of your readers but I don't comment much. But right now, I just wanted to ask why's it that everybody always goes on panic whenever there's a Google (Panda/Penguin) update coming out? Who is to blame? Is it Google releasing updates that bring confusions to people or is it the people (SEO agencies and other concerned) who are just overreacting?
Panda will be updated from time-to-time. At these times, websites formerly hit may well escape, in the event they've manufactured the right alterations. Panda could also catch websites in which escaped prior to. http://members.1seo1.com/link-detection-and-removal-made-easy-free-download/

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
Two sisters are given a precious gift by the Governor of the land. A gift they are instructed to care for and protect until his son, the prince, returns. One sister guards the gift carefully, understanding its value. The other sister flaunts the gift and allows others to abuse it. When the prince finally arrives and the sisters are called into his presence, they are surprised by the offer given to the sister who cherished the gift.
Apples of Gold is a fairytale a la George MacDonald, where each scene teaches more than one moral lesson. Lisa Samson spins a tale that warns young girls of the folly in not recognizing the beauty of sexual purity, truth, integrity, and steadfastness. This tale illustrates the rewards of self control and obedience without being preachy.
The black-and-white illustrations resemble wood cut prints, enhancing the storys fairytale feel. This book is a perfect gift for every girl you know from toddler to adolescence. It is also a great resource for teachers of young girls. Vasthi Acosta, Christian Book Previews.com
Book Jacket:
Once upon a time, many years ago, when true love walked hand in hand with kisses and promises, and decisions were made to last forever, two girls received a summons to appear before the governor.
So begins the story of two sisters in a long-ago land who are presented with a precious gift. The governor wants the young women to protect and care for this gift until the return of his son, the prince of the land. Upon the princes return, one sister will be chosen to serve the prince according to how the gift was cared forand both sisters will be surprised by what the prince wants to offer the one who best cherishes the gift.
The young women have dreams of being happy and loved. But how they see the giftand themselveswill determine how that gift is treasured and what will remain of their dreams.
Apples of Gold is a powerful parable about the beauty of sexual purity and the prize that awaits those who are committed to the keeping of such a gift.

Following on from his acclaimed study of punctuation, Pause and Effect, this new book by Malcolm Parkes makes an equally fundamental contribution to the history of handwriting. Its purpose is to focus on the writing of scribes from late antiquity to the beginning of the sixteenth century, and to identify those features which are a scribe's personal contribution to the techniques and art of handwriting. The text is illustrated with 69 plates, and accompanied by a glossary of technical terms, which in itself makes a significant contribution to the subject.In line 3 a#39;Purifictfc/owa#39;sa#39; the scribe traced the letter u and the descending stem of the following r without lifting the pen, recording a ... ductus of rapid handwriting. 34 This constant process generated comparable features in cursive handwriting throughout Europe.35 Plate 10(b) ... 44-5; J.

There is finally a glimmer of hope for men who suffer from hair loss! Experts in the United Kingdom and United States of America have come up with an instant cure for baldness. This cure uses the blood of the patient and a powered extract that comes from pigs' bladder.
This revolutionary 30 minute hair loss treatment uses the placenta rich plasma from the patient's blood mixed with ACell which is in powered form and is extracted from pig bladders. This mixture is then injected into the patient. The mixture forms a barrier around the healthy hair cells and truncates further hair loss. It also duplicates the healthy hair growing stem cells, accelerates the regeneration of healthy hair and in the process prevents hair loss. When ACell along with the blood is injected into the scalp, apart from protecting the healthy hair tissue it also fools the body into thinking that the scalp cells are in pre-birth state. This helps in the growth process of hair. Many have also compared the ACell and platelet rich placenta to a flu shot, wherein after the shot it prevents further attacks of influenza. In the same manner this shot will prevent further hair loss.
ACell is a regenerative medicine that is used for purposes of healing and re-growth. It is produced by ACell Inc. which has been formed by a Harvard professor, Alan Spievack. The wonder medicine has found its way into hair regeneration because of the simple fact it has actually been successfully tested in the United States. This Pig Bladder cure for hair loss as revolutionized the feeling that baldness is not permanent and can be cured.
This innovative mixture will be made available to 20 patients by Raghu Reddy at the Private Clinic, London.

oooh love this look, so classically chic...simple and perfect STEALING IT..lol!ReplyDelete
Your lace blouse is lovely! :)ReplyDelete
Agreed, I always want to add some badass pieces to my sweet girly style. I love florals and lace and bright colors but I also love punk, goth and leather like styles. I love your boots and your blouse! I'm also lusting after some black lipstick actually, maybe not to wear as a color but to mix with my purples and reds to create darker colors!ReplyDelete
Cute outfit, the lace top is really pretty :)ReplyDelete
Also, your hair colour is lovely!
Oh my gosh!! I almost thrifted a skirt exactly like that!! But I put it back on the rack, cause I was dumb. Darn. I love this look you put together!ReplyDelete
I've been trying to find dark purple lipstick everywhere! But, like you said, my coloring probably makes it hard for me to pull off. This looks like a great alternative color, though! Super cute. :]ReplyDelete
Im liking the dark lippy color. And I am such a sucker for knee highs and a cute skirt, Im jealous yet again of how you can wear these adorable outfits in winter, I'd be ducking and running back into the house cause I'd be freezing in less than 2 seconds. This is so girly and sweet-I have the same dilemma, badass or girly today ? Both :) xoReplyDelete
Awesome outfit! I don't think that nowadays you have to choose between being girly and edgy. Everyone mixes both into their looks and this look totally translates to edgy with some dark lipstick as you've done and the leather boots!ReplyDelete
Btw thanks for the hilarious comments on my blog :)
I've really been loving dark lipstick too :) it looks great!ReplyDelete
Just so you know, you've really become one of my favorite bloggers. :) You're wonderful
