Comments on: Google’s Amit Singhal’s Post About Google Rankings http://www.thegreatestinternetsalesman.com/2008-07-googles-amit-singhals-post-about-google-rankings.html Internet marketing and money making secrets revealed Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:41:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: app http://www.thegreatestinternetsalesman.com/2008-07-googles-amit-singhals-post-about-google-rankings.html#comment-17 app Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:45:15 +0000 http://www.thegreatestinternetsalesman.com/?p=51#comment-17 I would say that deliberately changing the algorithm so that nobody that has a domain name with a certain particular TLD can achieve a PR above 1 regardless of the popularity and quality of their site, would qualify as "human intervention", in some respect...no? I think it would also qualify as a type of discrimination, as well. How else do you explain the fact that all .tk domain names were busted down, whether they deserved a decrease in rank or not? When my respectable 3 year old site that was a PR4 gets dropped to a PR1 overnight, for no good reason, along with every other .tk site, then something was tampered with by a human, in some way, to cause it. So this "no human intervention" stuff that is being spewed is lies & crap. Some group of people behind closed doors at Google decided that every site of a particular TLD is worthless and took actions that resulted in the drop in rank for all of them. I am just glad they decided to do it before I plunked down the money to pay for the domain name for the next 9 years. I would have been even more upset if they did it after.

I was reading about Amit's post on digg and found your site. They certainly do some human intervention, the question is how much. I agree with you on most of this article points.
