Matt Cutts you know the official blogger for Google has pointed out the alt tags is very important and that we should subscribe to the webmaster blog by Google.
You should always listen to what he says even if he sometimes talked about his cat or something. There almost all the time hidden secret messages in what he says. So maybe he is talking about the cat but what’s behind the cat, know what I mean?
Now try to figure out the secret with alt tags when looking at this Google video
Matt Cutts has written to Search Engine Journal and told them that the PageRank that happened this week was to correct the paid links to gain PageRank. No shit Matt!
Matt Cutts said
The partial update to visible PageRank that went out a few days ago was primarily regarding PageRank selling and the forward links of sites. So paid links that pass PageRank would affect our opinion of a site.
Going forward, I expect that Google will be looking at additional sites that appear to be buying or selling PageRank.
There is no word when the next PageRank is going to take place or what we should think about until then. But Google has to blame themselves they are the once that created PageRank and people use it and abuse it out of Google’s control right now.
The word goes out even stronger don’t sell or buy link you get spanked by Google or at least by Matt.
Web directory penalizations
Google is punishing so called Directory rings and paid directory and taking away links coming and going from them. It has been a lot of talk on different forums what’s really going on but not many people know how they really determine what link that should go away or not. We can just see one paid directory after another loosing PageRank and the owners are crying out.
Matt Cutts warned the paid directory people long time ago so this was something that expected. But still it must be terrible for those how are affected.
