Would you post an accomplishment of your significant other on the refrigerator?
I was proud of my boyfriend and posted a copy of his corporate announcement on the refrigerator! He is in his early 30's his mom passed away, we don't live together (guy friends wont see it) and I thought it was a nice way to show him that I was proud of him. I only left it up for a few days. Of course he got "other things" as well. Would you do this to your significant other and how would you feel if someone did that to you?

Anyone that understands Google adsense terms and conditions fairly well can I ask you a question please?
So I am getting my blog designed as we speak and writing up new content (original) and have been looking around the web on some people who stated that Google cut off a lot of their traffic for various reasons one including the Panda farming algorithm that happened recently. Anyways one guy who runs a pretty big forums all original content no spam etc, stated Google had just cut them off after the panda incident. I was curious of one of the responders replies to the incident who makes it sound as though having Google Adsense on your pages of your blog almost sounds like a violation the way he puts it. Could anyone clarify if the way he's putting it is correct? You'll have to see some of his comments One of the responders StevieD_Web, in the 2nd reply he left, said this (here is the link and then his reply): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=6546710fb55bd11b&hl=en 1) Then, I learned that I could use AdSense to break even on web hosting costs Bingo. There be a problem. AdSense and other ads is the only source of revenue. You said it. Google can't find another source of revenue. You got lots of pages with no buy now or call to make a purchase. Instead we got pages with ads. That smells of a Content Farm. IF the revenue stream from the ads did not exist the site would not/could not exist. Google says so because there is no proof of otherwise. 2) Nearly all of the content on the site is user generated. What isn't user generated. Where did it come from and why is it on the site? I consider anything generated inhouse (editorial or visitors) to be of decent quality, even if it isn't because generally it is unique. The issue is RSS, News Feeds, corporate announcements etc. Especially if an ad is added to any of those sources of content. Even if the ad is directly related to the announcement the use of ad indicates the content may have been added just to generate revenue through the ad. 3) The amount of money made off of ads appearing on these articles does not come anywhere close to the cost of paying writers for them Google doesn't know that. Google knows content is added and an ad is generated. 1:1 ratio. All content has an ad. Try adding content for the sake of content without the ad. Maybe the trick is to have 1 ad for every three pages of content. Or one page with 300 ads and the next page with none. We don't know what the ratio may be or how many ads can be on a page. But 1:1 in anybody's book is going to be trouble. 4) You missed the question. What pages have you deleted from your index in the past week, month or year? Have you ever delete a page of content or combined several pages into a single page? Think an ecommerce site. If a product is discontinued by the manufacturer, does the product remain on the site or does the site owner delete the product page and direct the viewer to the new product? All too often the crappy ecommerce sites leave up the discontinued products as search bait. Not good for the consumer. You are an IT website. Should you still have discussions about the merits of Windows95 or something equally stupid and out of date? What do you do with those old pages? Content Farms, just like crappy ecommerce sites will often leave the old material hanging around. Not good for the web. Rework the old pages or just delete them. This is especially true with an ongoing discussion..... let's say a rumour discussion regarding Windows27 to be released in 2041. Do you need a separate article for each rumour that is produced? How about combining all the rumours into a single running article and when Windows27 is finally released get rid of the rumour page because it is no longer valid. 5) Do you link another website without using an add or affiliate link? What outside links do you generate that are not ad or affiliate based? Do you link to.... oh I don't know.... UCLA Grad School of Computer Science as a follow link or a scientific whilte paper published by Intel as a follow link? Or all of your editorial outbound links nofollow? It seems that most sites with an issue with Content Farm do not have follow editorial links. 6) You answered well. 7) 2500 editorial pages with all links nofollow Stop and think for a moment. Your ad links are follow. Your editorial links are nofollow. As far as Google is concerned the only outbound links from your site are connected to ads. If we take this a couple steps further..... all content that is added is 1:1 with ads. Lots of content is added, always with an ad. Content is never deleted. It smells like a Content Farm. There are ways to improve the site. Drop some of the darn ads. Add follow editorial links. Delete old content. Remove the news feeds. Show the site is to provide quality original information first, revenue maybe somewhere else.
