Thanks for the info especially the q&a regarding Matt cutts. Any idea how to expedite geting listed with DMOZ?

I don’t like the look of them at all. Google has managed to go against its own rules once again. When will this stop. Why doesn’t yahoo do something about this. These things really annoy me because little webmasters like me have absolutely no say at all.

I definitely agree that his tools are greatly useful. I was only referring to the usefulness of the noscript code in my comment. You didn't outline the usefulness of the 'noscript' tag to your readers so I thought you were hinting to Aaron to add it to his script. I know that you mentioned it in this post, but maybe for the novices out there you could talk more about the noscript tag and its benefits when used properly unless you have a post on this already and I missed it somehow. As always - Keep up the good work on your GREAT blog!

Mark I try to include some value in each post for as many people as possible. The keyword research tools are useful if you don’t have something better already.

The noscript hint is there for the more advanced users, though I have written before I would advise using another domain, or in Aaron’s case he is using a subdomain for his tools.
I am not sure whether Aaron will use this, he might not think he needs the links.

But how would this help anyone but Aaron in this case? Or was this a subtle hint to him that he should add in the noscript code and reap the benefits?

The “internet police,” Google does it once again with even more contradictory guidelines.

While massive conflicts of interest abound with Google and its Partners, they continue to hinder legit marketers and webmasters.

…all in the name of, “fighting spam,” it reminds me of all the war crimes and human rights violations committed in the name of “fighting terrorism.”

Here is a thought Google: Fix one of the main driving forces behind spam, ADSENSE !

anyone want to start a site with me called “Google Bashing?”

i see the domain is already registered: http://www.googlebashing.com/

My guess is that you are trying to confuse the Google spam team with the keyword “paid reviews” that you seem to include a little too often?

And now I have added one more… ;)

So you believe that there is an algorithm checking for this keyword in Google?

OK, I have two lines of thought on this. (1) Google doesn’t seem to penalize for the stuff it (or Cutts) claims it does – evidence: sites I know that do paid reviews and paid links and continue to get more and more search traffic anyway. (2) A lot of people have been speculating that the PageRank toolbar update delay may be related to a crackdown on paid links – is there any chance the penalties just haven’t kicked in yet?
