Hey,

Panda was about duplicate content, content farms etc.... it is widly talked about online.

Pengin is a direct attack on SEO and spam, as pointed out above SEO is gaming the search engines... and there for is spam in a search engine sense.

these are 8 guidelines taken verbatum from google on the recent update... its quite telling really.

Anderz i've not seen your blog so was talking in general, and was trying to strike up a convo.

evedntly my view point is a controvertial one.... i talk in a absract way about stuff which you have to, im not saying Matt cutts blog is bad.... but hes not using as I described... he actually talks about stuff... that intrests people who link to him...

http://www.moo.com/blog/

moo's blog would fall under my spamdar i supose... because focus its pushing products, not talking about... stuff... I should of made myself more clear rather than tacking the sentence onto the end of my post in a cryptive way... "its a very subtile diffrence in intent that results in a massive diffrence to writing."... im not saying blogs are bad, im saying they are often used wrongly... without pointing fingers at anyone in perticular apart from the moo thing above, but you guys forced that one out to show you what i mean.

also, Anderz...

it is somtimes given a bad name because of sharlitons and blackhat marketeers making a quick buck.... ive been doing this for like a decade and know fully why its got a bad name.... because its wrong... white, gray or black its gaming the search engines for bussiness results... and the goal of any bussiness is to make more money... and thats the pitfall... there is never engough results... more is allways wanted, and todo that tricks get used which make it ruddy hard to make a search engine... and for people who play by the rules to rank.

expressing opionions is not what gives the SEO industory a bad name, and is actually how the SEO industory progresses in general. this forum is a place to talk... and talking is what im doing so implying im giving the SEO industory a bad name by the expresion of my research/views is below the belt. i can see how you thought that was a personal attack on you... which it was not, i dont do subtile digs i am alot more direct when on a attack, sure someone here can vouch for that.... either case im sorry my writing struck nervs but i do still stand by my words.

and, Jason Dexter its cool, it dosnt bother me im enjoying this.... i supose i do alot of shock factor, ya know ruffle feathers.... i do alot of consultant work these days and know everything i say to clients only gets like 50% taken in... so you go the extream ruote and a nice middle ground gets found.... like having a blog for a online shop is cool, im not really saying its not but taking on-board what i said (remebering people dont do everything advised) then hopfully there would be more posts about stuff than directly about products.

actually yes it is. its the first update to spam fighting in a algorythmic sense in almost ten years... call it a hunch based on a decade in the field. but

"The company I'm working for have me adding content to a blog, they've asked me to talk about a product or category, and pick keywords, and link back to our website (e-commerce website)."

dosnt fill the heart with a sense of qaulity, a blog to promote a e-commerce shop that the writer, as a non seo is told to focus on keyword density.... which you can deduce the content is not qaulity.... you can not write somthing of qaulity while a focus on keyword density is paramount.

granted this bit is very either paranoid or insightful, Gogole translate (which they closed the public API) has given them a deep understanding of language, now stop words can have context in a algorhymic sense... structures of naturally formed senstences can be worked out and they could work out what is written for users and what is written for them.... call me a crazy if you like, but its not wise to think that that many PhD students wouldnt work out how to fight spam in the end.... its obvious to a human but computationaly hard work but thanks to mores law time is all you need to solve that.

having a blog for the purpose of promoting a single website is spam, or heck a blog filled with affiliate links in posts is spam.... its content written for another purpose than publishing a good content piece on a certain subject for the blog.... its a very subtile diffrence in intent that results in a massive diffrence to writing.

i dunno im fond of the method, it works... but i would not like to read that blog or any blog whos purpose is to market the owners other website.... mark my words, one day... google will update the algo and push these sites down the rankings... its a dead cert i should put money on it!... untill then it will work tho and you can fill the internet with more crap (although with the pengin update that ship might have sailed allready... YaY! )

Think the only time final would be handy is for Library writers, so you can make sure some functions dont get overwritten by child classes and other developers and not use private.... but using absract and final would be extreamly odd as Jock says,

Also google did this guide years ago, which basicly has 3 valid points

• Avoid writing naive setters and getters
  
• Don't copy variables for no reason
  
• Avoid doing SQL queries within a loop

"- final can be used for class properties? (why?)"

also checkout this section of the php manual: http://uk3.php.net/m...nguage.oop5.php

not sure, generally people block spam before it hits the DB rather than analyzing the contents of the text and you allready know about akismet... so you should spend some time googling for some stuff... it is what every here would do anyway.... google has the answer, always, if it dosnt you dint ask it the right question.
