Open letter to Matt Cutts
Par Noarchive, jeudi 6 octobre 2005 à 00:23 :: Google
Dear Matt,
Sorry it falls on you! We at DarkSeoteam appreciate your blog, respect your work… and you look like a nice guy. But your blog looked like the perfect target. First because you don’t rely on it for income, second because, on the internet, there is no better proof than a punchy example.
As many fellow webmasters, we have been reading the endless threads at webmasterworld, where site owners were complaining for having their websites “Googlewashed”, and income hurt by unscrupulous competitors.
As many fellow webmasters, we were shocked that Google and GoogleGuy did not even dare to comment.
Matt ! Google doesn’t have to feel ashamed for the bugs. Everyone involved in software and algorithms can understand what bug means for real. We all had bugs. The only thing we can’t understand is that Google doesn’t say it’s going to fix it asap.
We won’t make public the way we ranked on "bacon polenta"because we don’t want the technic used spreading on the web. However, it seems that many posters at webmasterworld and threadwatch understood the whole thing. But that’s not the point.
The point is:
Anyone can use Google’s duplicate content filters to ruin a competitor’s website, and steal his ranking and traffic.
Moreover, Matt, the webmasters' community does not need an immediate fix, but it needs Google to admit that it is not able to differentiate between the original contents and the duplicate one, and it needs to hear that Google is working hard on fixing this severe issue.
Last thing Matt. You said at threadwatch that you were not going to do anything special for your blog. It honors you, but beware that the whole thing could worsen in the next days. Not that we are going to do anything else about it, but our test is very recent. It was just set-up on September 25 (yeah, less than 10 days to get a visit from GoogleGuy, we’re proud lol), and Googlebot has not finished his job yet.
As we said Matt, we’re leaving the test "as it is". Hopefully you guys in the Googleplex can use it as a "cobaye" to fix your algo. After all, our site is just a lab, and you’re welcome to use it.
The DarkSeoTeam

All your backlinks are belong to us !
lol - runpete, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Grammar War!
@KesshoRyu, an examination of your commenting history shows that you do not know how to use a comma, semi-colon, or period correctly. It appears that these hackers are French. They conjugated "to have" incorrectly. Get over it.
This post is hereby deemed hypocritical by attacking KesshoRyu's grammar and telling him not to attack other's grammar. (I am also certain that there is at least one grammar error in this comment.)
Vive la France! - tektalk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9" PR9 since 99. MaDD LoVe to e&o. Peace out. "
He even left a little message in the code; how nice of him. :-) - ThreeDee912, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Hm... is it real, or just an April Fools joke? http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/3298808.htm

I'm wondering the same thing... it's been happening in more than one article ...
@captinherb (#5958151) said: "kevinrose: >>"And on an unrelated note: my account has been hacked.""
this probably explains it. pretty funny stuff if you ask me. - iDiggIt42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9how do u come to a tech site and ask such a ***** question?
- Tiak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I do believe that was intentional... Notice how the first word following the little table is "Shoutz" and the later alternating caps... More or less it seems like it's there to make the joke a bit more blatant.
- Tiak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Hmm, apparently the Dark SEO team site has a Xiti stats page, but I haven't a clue how to see it... Anybody?...
PS: @DDRRE, the comment has obviously since disappeared. - Ap31r0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Link bait.
HA. - minitrollster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5''The French loosely translates into: "We are the property of you." ''
No. It's ''We are the owner of you'', or ''We own you'' - katatonos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The French loosely translates into: "We are the property of you."
- norbiu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Please block this guy. He's everywhere.
- timhayes7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3OK, it fooled me too. Very good.

lol, i thought that was a hilarious thing to say, especially on a tech news site. - NicePaul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2LOL. Nice of the hackers to leave the Google Analytics code in the page source. At least Matt will be able to see how many people viewed his "hacked" site.
- cressfore, on 10/12/2007, -8/+10Its not a "Google Site" - its unaffiliated. He's not even using Blogger software, its Wordpress.
