Search Industry Conference Drinking Game – How Many Can You Do This Week? Posted: 14 Aug 2012 05:31 AM PDT Since many people are at a conference this week – both Affiliate Summit and SES San Francisco, thought it would be fun to play the Search Industry Conference Drinking Game.  How many points can you rack up this week – and if enough people posting their points totals, I’ll bribe Jeremy to send Shoemoney shirts to the top point scorer.  I know some people have made a pretty good dent into this list already.  And you have to list details, because we all want to know who has the drink with the pink umbrella in it and whose ringtone was the Spice Girls “Spice Up Your Life”. 1 point/drink Someone mentions Panda or Penguin Someone asks where the party is Someone forgets their conference badge to get into a party Someone remembers Jeeves fondly Someone says something to the effect of OMG Marissa Mayer Matt Cutts surrounded by fewer than a dozen people (no bathrooms don't count!) Matt McGown, Mike Grehan, Missy Ward, Shawn Collins, Danny Sullivan or Brett Tabke buys the table a round of drinks Share a kiss with Brandy from Webmaster Radio Spot a male with a chick drink Someone tries to buy links Someone talks about advertising on a network other than Google AdWords Someone uses Bing as their primary search engine If you recognize Bing's Dwayne Forrester in the bar Hear someone's phone go off in the middle of a session (and +1 more if you can name the ringtone) Pick up more than 10 pieces of swag in the expo hall Someone speculates about who SEOBitch really is 2 points/drinks Share a drink with a former or present WebmasterWorld moderator Someone says they loved Penguin or Panda Someone admits why they got banned from AdSense Someone admits getting a client’s site banned in Google Get interviewed for WebmasterRadio or another industry podcast Talk to someone who has made a G+ post each day for the last 7 days Scoop up more than 20 pieces of swag at the expo hall Listen to someone drunk share TMI Someone tells you about their negative SEO campaign against a competitor (and +1 more if they were targeting an SEO industry competitor) 3 points/drinks Spot Matt Cutts in the bar Have fun! #SEOBitch Trying to increase your Google rank that is like no other?

Google Will Penalize Sites Accused of Copyright Infringement - DailyBlogTips

Google Will Penalize Sites Accused of Copyright Infringement Posted: 13 Aug 2012 07:17 AM PDT Google announced last week that it will start penalizing websites that violate copyrights on a consistent basis. In other words, if a certain website is found to be violating copyrights of other people regularly it will lose search rankings and possibly even be removed from Google’s index. They will calculate the number of copyright infringements based on the amount of DMCA takedown notices that Google receives from content owners. Here’s a quotation from a Search Engine Land article explaining the process: But as it turns out, there is a way that Google can guestimate if there's copyright infringement happening, by making use of Digital Millennium Copyright Act "takedown" requests. These requests are one of the ways to get content removed from Google. Anyone can file a request. It's not proof of copyright infringement. It's merely an allegation, and one that can be challenged. But Google evaluates each request, and if deemed valid, content is removed. The requests are a pain to file, and they only remove an individual web page. If you're a big entertainment company, it's like playing Whac-A-Mole. But now, Google's shift will change the game from a page-by-page basis to a site-by-site one. Beginning next week, a site will a lot of requests against individual pages will find all of its pages ranking lower in Google. Overall I think it’s a valid measure, and it should certainly help to control the levels of content theft and plagiarism around the web. I don’t think the update will have a large impact on small publishers, though, but hey at least you have one more weapon now to fight against people ripping off your content. What do you think?
