“You can follow comments through the RSS 2.0 feed”.

Google has still plenty of second rate pages like archives, categories etc. in the index, it takes a while until they spider them and find the noindex meta tag it seems.
The Google traffic stopped completely though by now.

Can you please tell me what you mean by “When I chose to block Google recently…”

Because when I search Google I see lot’s of your pages in the index:
http://www.google.nl/search?q=site:http://seo2.0.onreact.com/

Is it specific content only you are blocking?

Please allow me to give you a small remark on your blog:
a “subscribe to comments” plugin would be helpful.

Bas

Then you insisted on links while I was talking content. I’m glad we understand each other better now.
Btw. I didn’t call you a Moloch, I said that you are cheerleading the Google Moloch. A Moloch is “a person or thing demanding or requiring a very costly sacrifice.”

I got angry that you didn’t read my original tweet again and actually rather than get angry I just decided since you weren’t listening but reacting, to end the conversation not to make a fuss.

The original link did not mention anything about content scraping, I wasn’t even aware this was an issue, that’s my issue, rather than educate me on the content scraping you chose to call me a Google Moloch (I still don’t know what that is).

Maybe if you just read the story and said “oh that says links, the bigger issue here is content scraping” then the whole conversation would have had a different outcome.

“Oh Really Tad thanks for letting me know, that’s not good and I definitely don’t agree with that strategy”

Wasn’t difficult now was it ;)

In fact I’m pretty tired of the content marketing hype. People are shouting like crazy as if it’s something new.

The recent content marketing hype is just the latest result of Google’s strategy of making everybody provide them the content they need for free.”

Love this quote.
