Estuvimos presentes en Madrid
Search Engine Marketing April 19th, 2007Entre las t?©cnicas que hemos observado est??n las de generar dominios sat?©lite o crear infinidades de p??ginas irrelevantes con el ??nico objetivo de ganar tr??fico en b??squedas que no est??n necesariamente relacionadas con el contenido del sitio. Otro fen??meno que hemos observado es la continua aparici??n de dominios que s??lo tienen contenido procedente de afiliados sin aportar valor ??nico o relevante.
Vamos a ser m??s severos con las t?©cnicas previamente mencionadas, porque en Google consideramos que es muy importante no defraudar a los usuarios. Por otra parte, consideramos que la responsabilidad ??ltima de los contenidos de un sitio pertenece al webmaster, quien debe velar por su calidad y verificar que sus paginas tengan como finalidad primera satisfacer a los usuarios.
Con el prop??sito de mejorar la comunicaci??n con la comunidad de webmasters, queremos anunciar que Google a partir de ahora estar?? presente y participar?? activamente en el Foro de Google para webmasters.
We were in Madrid
Last 8th and 9th of March we went to the OJOBuscador conference in Madrid. The event was very interesting for us since we had the chance to listen to presentations from the main search engines and to discuss with the webmasters their main concerns regarding Spanish search engine positioning. One key point mentioned frequently both in the SEO sessions and in the informal chats was the disadvantage of working in an SEO market where several companies use sneaky methods that go against the official Webmaster Guidelines.
There are some techniques such as generating satellite domains or creating thousands of irrelevant pages with the sole purpose of gaining traffic in search queries that are not always related to sites' content. Another phenomenon we have observed is the steady influx of domains which only have content from affiliate sites without adding any unique value or relevance.
We are going to be stricter against the techniques previously discussed, as we consider it is very important to avoid deceiving the users. Nevertheless, we think the ultimate responsibility for the contents of a website belongs to the webmaster, who should watch over the site quality and verify that the pages are made for the user.
Aiming to enhance communication with the webmaster community, we would like to announce that going forward Google will participate and monitor the Spanish Webmaster Discussion Forum.
