Google’s Schmidt to Colbert: Comment About Kids Changing Their Identity ‘Was a Joke’
Sep 22nd
Google CEO Eric Schmidt was on “The Colbert Report” for a “Google Chat” last night. As Stephen would say, “At least that’s what it said when I looked it up on Bing.”
Colbert and Schmidt discussed data mining, why Stephen doesn’t get more hits when searching for “tall women carrying heavy things,” why Google pulled out of China, privacy, and how low Google’s stock prices will have to go before they throw out the “do no evil” slogan. During the interview, Colbert also brought up Schmidt’s recent controversial suggestion that young people will someday have to change their name to distance themselves from embarrassing content on social media sites.
“It was a joke,” Schmidt said. “It just wasn’t very good.”

Join the Experiment: Do Comment Links Still Hold Any Value?
May 25th
Well, hi to all and thank you Ann from granting me this opportunity to post on Search Engine Journal. I am relatively new to the SEO world (3 years) and even newer still to the profession of link building (2.5 years), and yet isn’t it amazing, even as an old man (40 years next month), one can learn quite a bit in a short space of time thanks to the internet.
Much to the annoyance of my partner I can often find myself spending 16 and more hours a day in front of my computer. Why is this? Well, to be honest I have never been so interested in finding out what others know and I don’t know regarding my profession. It is refreshing to know that there are so many others in the link building profession that are prepared to share some of their own creative ideas. Just take a look at this link if you don’t believe me. It is with this free exchange of ideas and sharing of creativity which has prompted me too to give something back to all those which I have learned so much from.
Let’s face link builders get a pretty hard time and this is mainly thanks to the many ‘cowboys’ and girls out there that have no consideration for their clients or their own reputation. I likened it the other day to that of the building profession back in the UK in the 1980’s, if they were wearing their hammer in their holster and a wide grin on their face then they were probable best avoided. This leads me, nicely into the arena of blog commenting links which, many would say is a ‘cowboy’ approach to link building these days.
Blog commenting links have had a somewhat ‘bad press’ these days, at least in most quality SEO blogs and forums. Now given that most of what I read on these well informed blogs and forums can be supported with good quality evidence, I find that this topic has very little. Now, if I am wrong and you can direct me to some evidence which does show that blog commenting links are of no value please leave a comment. Most of the SEO gurus would agree that blog commenting links can be beneficial in driving new traffic to your website, if that is that you are commenting on a blog that is on the same topic as the link you leave behind… Take note here I am not endorsing spam links which I believe have no value except drawing attention to the fact that you are somewhat dumb!
However, I am interested to see if blog commenting links will improve SERP’s for a website not just to see if they drive new traffic to a website. With my limited experience I have found that building good, related, blog commenting links have helped to increase my clients SERP’s, but the truth is that I have never built just blog commenting links and further still have not tested the result of this against not building any links to other websites and building different links to others still. It is for this reason that I have decided to carry out an experiment/test to see if in fact blog commenting links are worth the effort, at least for SERP’s that is.
There are various variables which need to be considered when testing whether blog comment links help with SERP’s or not, to eliminate as many of these as I can I shall conduct different forms of link building to 4 different groups of websites see diagram below. All websites currently have no links pointing to them. Before building any links I shall record positions on all 3 major search engines for 2 key terms to see how they perform over a 2 month period.
By testing 4 separate groups we should be able to identify whether or not blog comment links on their own help to improve SERP’s or in combination with other links help to improve SERP’s.
| Group 1 |
Build no links |
|
Group 2 |
Build only blog comment links |
|
Group 3 |
Build other links |
|
Group 4 |
Build both blog comment and other links |
Tips on how this experiment could benefit you.
- By following this experiment you will be able to ascertain whether or not blog comment links are of any value with SERP’s.
- This can help you to decide if blog comment links should be included in and all round link building campaign. (If group 4 outperform group 3 in SERP’s this will clearly show that blog comment links are of value with SERP’s)
- This is real evidence that can be shown to win new clients for your business.
- If you have any interest in SEO then you surely want to know for sure if blog commenting links are of value or not!
So if you are at all interested in the topic of blog commenting links and whether they are or not helpful in increasing SERP’s for you or your clients websites please take a look at the official experiment page: Blog Comment Links, Have They Lost Their Value?. Now this experiment will not be perfect but I hope it will at least give some clear empirical evidence one way or the other as to whether blog commenting links are of value for SERP’s.

Should Your Blog Allow Every Comment with a Link?

A few months ago I decided to turn my blog into a do-follow blog to see if it helps increase activity, but honestly I can’t really say how much it’s helped or not. Sure, I’ve gotten some spam comments, but I always remove them. Just because it’s a do-follow blog doesn’t mean I have to approve every comment or allow every link. However, I have a moral question for all you bloggers. Would you approve ANY comment with a link you feel is just wrong or illegal on your blog? Before you answer, let me provide some back story.
Last week I was going through comments yet to be moderated on my blog (I know I need to be better at that) when I came across a comment that was really good, but the link in the user name (which wasn’t spammy btw) scared the crap out of me. I won’t mention or even link to it here. Let’s just say it was among the extremely perverted illegal type. At first I removed the link, comment luv from it and I almost approved it. Then I trashed it completely. I couldn’t with good conscious approve a comment from someone promoting such a vile site. It really made me re-question my position on continuing my blog as a do-follow. But then again, if it were a no-follow would I still get the same comments?
No matter if your site permits followed links or not, allowing usernames to put a link on your site, you’re the one hosting that link. I’m not talking about removing a competitor’s link when they comment or disallowing the little blue pill links, but your own personal and even professional ethics. Would you allow a comment with a link to a site that:
How ethical should we be as bloggers when it comes to allowing links in comments on our blogs? Would you consider allowing the comment to be posted even if it were legit?
On the off chance you get a link from a site you feel should be looked at by the proper authorities; here is a list of some resources where they can be reported.
