It's no different to everything that's been before, it will always be exploited, but as with other shortcut marketing, and as the Panda updates have shown, anyone who takes shortcuts runs the risk of getting punished later on.

Personally I'd steer clear of any ropey looking paid services.

Now of course if you have some great content worthy of a Plus one, I'm sure I could find some equally worthy content you would fill compelled to Plus one in return

...and the MLF reciprocal +1 ring was born...

Guess it depends how many links you have to your site.

Top of my head, one way would be to go to Yahoo Site explorer, and view all the links pointing to your site, and in theory, your banner link should be in there, if you reconise the name of the website.

Traffic wise is a case of analyzing any analytic's you have. By default you should have access to server logs, which you could try and search through, but not the easiest of jobs.

Ideally, if you have Google analytic's installed, then it's straight forward and you can track where any of your traffic originated. If you haven't got GA installed, highly recommend you do it, and its free!

Hope that helps.

Like it!! Certainly can't miss that

Indeed, as a directory owner, I'd end up in the middle of any content aging battle ground, with some listings that have no need to be updated for years and still relevant.

But there is a sea of unloved and out of date content. I suppose the recent Plus 1 rollout could be an attempt to sort this, but at what point does an old piece of content fall off the index? Or is it there for eternity?

Here's a good example, the site owner has freely stated the content is now out of date and won't be updated.
WINDOWS 95 HELP

How about a Google search archive for historical content? The above link could be useful for a student doing a thesis on Windows 95 in 10 years time.

Maybe we will end up with an approved time and date stamp, with this content was approved, or reviewed by it's owner once a year? Who knows...

Looks like the end for Gaddafi has arrived as rebels arrive and fighting breaks out in Tripoli.

Lets hope the world learnt from the Iraq disaster and the post conflict see's some kind of sensible planning and stable goverment put in place, not a power vacumn and a slide into total anarchy.

Interesting turn of events though. Bet there's a sigh of relief from the UK Goverment, I was wondering how long we could afford to keep up air operations bearing in mind we are supposed to be broke!

Looks like this thread has generated some interest, have seen a spike in traffic over the last few days with this thread as the entry point!

Google Search - HP to stop making computers

Agree totally, still gobsmacked to be honest. I guess that free's up Dell to take over the world.

There you go, shows what I know, well it is Friday...

There's always Experian Harry

We used to have a regular member called sean aka credit manager who did them, but looks like he's packed it in, or at least his website is no more.

But regarding "Check That Company", it seems they are owned by Total Web Solutions, and we have one of their members, Total Web online right now

Now I'll be very disappointed if this is a set up

Maybe we can get some info from the horses mouth!

Thats what we like to see, no fence sitting

I do think there is an element of "that jobs not good enough" which then goes back to our hand out culture.
