Ask Matt!

[everythingfurniture]

I think real content is key, like a mom buying a bunk bed to solve her furniture situation and sharing her experience

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture and there are lots of other forms of advertising online than relying only on organic search

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture if you don't get links from other places, if you don't have people coming to your site and consuming the information... you aren't going to be successful

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture buying guides are fine, but don't know if people are going to "care" about that type of content

[onewayfurniture]

@meiskristopher - you refering to buying guides

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture you would need to be of a higher quality than other sites...

[onewayfurniture]

even with unique content we need "panda gates" to open. Any speculation on when that my happen.

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture changes the descriptions may be all well and good... but do you have any other supplementary information? It really doesn't look like there is a lot anywhere

[onewayfurniture]

unique content. working on 1,000 products per wekk.

[woodsandhillsplc]

solution = unique content

[onewayfurniture]

if you have a solution i'd love to hear. its mitch@ figure out the rest.

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture the descriptions are the same as everywhere else on the internet

[onewayfurniture]

@therealhockeygod - The site happens to be useful if you want to buy furniture. I've rewritten product descriptions but are doing them in batches. Its a ton of stuff.

[therealhockeygod]

there's nothing unique. same products, same descriptions, as if it's allcoming from the same feed everybody else is using. and I gotta run. sorry.

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture there is no original content on your site like @therealhockeygod says

[jpredaina]

they talked about it being recorded and placed with all the other webmaster videos with transcripts and such

[therealhockeygod]

i can find several hundred other sites all using them.

[therealhockeygod]

it's your product descriptions

[onewayfurniture]

@therealhockeygod - Journalist called me. I didnt call them. I've changed 32 things on the site. No improvement.

[digideth]

i hope this was recorded

[smweb23]

thank you @jpredaina

[jpredaina]

he was using youtube live

[smweb23]

does anyone know what software he was using for live stream?

[woodsandhillsplc]

My life will never be the same again.

[RemixPicture]

Did I miss it?

[tigereye339]

Ha Matt! I made a page WHILE watching

[therealhockeygod]

onewayfurniture. I mean this with the most respect ever. But stop calling journalists to write about panda, and call an SEO who can help you with your duplicate content issues. don't worry about panda, worry about making your site unique and useful.

[frankfonseca]

congratz!

[RICHARDIVANdotCOM]

Did you notice how fast matt said sasha grey when talking about porn? :)

[YoMaMJ]

Thanks, Matt! This was really cool.

[theREALnetmeg]

@simplelivingskills which of course doesn't help.

[vasca316]

I do good work matt

[onewayfurniture]

#askmatt please close with a few rods on Panda... Throw us a bone.

[theREALnetmeg]

@simplelivingskills there are tons of people in your situation on WMW.

[aaronkronis]

anything new / interesting coming up on the domain front?

[sschwegman1]

@mattcutts Why are sites that are scraping mine outranking us when our content is the ONLY content on the scraper site? #askmatt

[thinkthinker007]

Because SuperPages hijacks customers Google Places pages! Jk I'd like to know the same thing but I've noticed Super Pages is using small businesses names to drive traffic to their directory through Google Places/Organic.

[hartmannr76]

do facebook app pages get indexed by google?

[meiskristopher]

@theREALnetmeg and @simplelivingskills .... seriously!?

[woodsandhillsplc]

It was really sad when Autocrat got banned from the GWT forum - can you give him a job at Google?

[manfmnantucket]

tried multiple pings! pleease help, yes its tech prob with site

[colohanjason]

eCommerce suggestions?

[smweb23]

@mattcutts what are you using for this livestream? what software? and thanks so much for all the great info always

[JillWhalen]

Wow they actually acted on a spam report!

[haukur46]

@askmatt what is the best way to get your main links under site title in google search ?

[theREALnetmeg]

@simplelivingskills I know, I just know that Google doesn't talk about this stuff.

[meiskristopher]

LOL... spam gone!

[yasirimteyaz]

Mine got disconnected :(

[lucasjforrest]

Matt, would love to know how Google determines the originator of content? Thanks...

[tjw1963]

spam product placement?

[manfmnantucket]

which question should I not repeat lol

[woodsandhillsplc]

What is the meaning of life? #askmatt

[dooperweb]

Nice teeth!

[Funnergoat]

Will Google Reader ever get more love UI/features wise. It's like the black sheep of Googles apps. #askmatt

[meiskristopher]

a user "onewayfurniture" and a user "everythingfurniture"... if you guys aren't the same person(s) then you should talk to each other

[pemeric]

Why superpages was affected by Panda? Google prefer Places results in SERPs instead of business directory pages?

[pursarth]

How often does Google crawl a website and what determines that frequency?

[simplelivingskills]

@theREALnetmeg - two months is a long time to work your ass off and not see a single bit of possitive reinforcement. This is unlike ANY other thing I've ever seen, on-page or off-page.

[colohanjason]

GoogleKids!

[onewayfurniture]

@meiskristopher - you haven't got a clue.

[amazingprint]

Can I opt out of locolized search?

[ajkohn2001]

42

[BrightSoul80]

In italy, a company's using our word for "big tits" as the domain name for their housewares e-commerce.

[woodsandhillsplc]

What is the meaning of life? #askmatt

[ajkohn2001]

Any comment on the fact that Bingbot crawled much less (or not at all) on the launch day of Panda?

[mpgomatic]

Angry Birds in Chrome 1 Productivity 0

[JillWhalen]

Then it would be yahoo

[aaronkronis]

Angry birds for kids!

[rockzz]

What's the rule to a recent ad go above the organic results?

[youradrenalinefixllc]

@tjw1963 I 2nd that!!

[simplelivingskills]

Anyone who says "don't worry about panda update" obviously doesn't have a site that was affected. This id NOT THE SAME as other, previous algo updates @meiskristopher.

[everythingfurniture]

Journey

[thomcraver]

Which team "runs"/"controls" GoogleBot? Search Quality? Webspam? A third team altogether?

[ZapZang]

don't stop / believing / hold on to the feeeeeeeeeeling

[tjw1963]

#askmatt  How about an @askmatt 24 hour marathon

[onewayfurniture]

@shoaiblatif3 yeah join the crowd. lol

[manfmnantucket]

"Please - don't. Stop."

[colohanjason]

any advice for eCommerce sites and manufactures content? Duplicate content?

[youradrenalinefixllc]

At some point were gonna have to stop, ya know?? That was hillarious!!!

[Zagathon7]

@mattcutts - G Analytics sends title & url. Why can't you used GA to determine who published an article FIRST? #askmatt

[manfmnantucket]

as sasha grey says

[meiskristopher]

no don't stop! get red bull... all nighter!

[Keshabraj]

keep going matt

[manfmnantucket]

no no no dont stop!

[woodsandhillsplc]

Don't stop! :)

[ClothBottom]

No dont stop!!

[shoaiblatif3]

#askmatt 3 months ago my website search result in google has been shifted by 50 # or so in google. I have done bulk of changes in the last 3 months and submitted a request for consideration and still nothing. Can you please help me anything?

[onewayfurniture]

pick me coach :)

[amfikz]

* doesn't google thing that to put facebook pages in front of much better results that are located on much more specific websites is not really logic?

[theREALnetmeg]

I sympathize with the "how long till I recover" questions but I would fall over dead on the floor if he answered them directly.

[therealhockeygod]

please don't tell us how you know

[meiskristopher]

@onewayfurniture forget about Panda or other algorithm changes and build quality content, get involved in your community/industry, offer things other people don't have... make a difference

[ajkohn2001]

Can we get a better way to remove rogue sitemaps from GWT? (e.g. - those old bad sitemaps uploaded by another user)

[simplelivingskills]

margaritagrisles I've seen folks noindex, follow their feeds. Probably better than blocking.

[goodroi]

actually disney character porn is a fetish with a decent following

[punitt1]

What steps can/are Google taking regarding exact match domains and their rankings?

[simplelivingskills]

Assuming your site has been recrawled and cahced page index data is post-changes, HOW LONG before we can hope to see any movement back up the SERPs after improving quality issues?

[Fhenrir76]

I love disney porn

[onewayfurniture]

lol

[motherfackingsob]

Disney porn!

[FilmsPointBlank]

@mattcutts How important is video (or YouTube) now for search? #askmatt

[vasca316]

she is awesome.. oh wait.. i've said too much

[goodroi]

disneyworld aint a legit porn keyword

[margaritagrisales]

MATT!!! Should I block rss feeds with my robots file!? PLEASE ANSWER!

[everythingfurniture]

Sasha Grey LOl

[goodroi]

sasha grey, bree olson are legit porn

[im3eb]

Why can I NOT set my preferred domain display URL when I've claimed my webmaster tools account?

[simplelivingskills]

WHEN will sites start to see any noticeable change in rankings if they've done everything they can to improve "quality" issues post-panda?

[joeleyba]

Best question ever.

[theREALnetmeg]

simplelivingskills - I know, but not real question for me, not pandalized, just scraped.

[jpredaina]

Google/Facebook integration: will we see this in the future? or is Google B.A. without needing Facebook to improve search #askmatt

[Keshabraj]

Do you have list of blocked site?? you said 26000 SPAM or porn site..

[onewayfurniture]

#askmatt - How do we know the changes we are making in response to Panda are good if we get no validation and traffic keeps dropping. Site wide panda penalties are like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Except we can find a needle, so far we cant find the panda.

[fliajimenez]

Matt make a 360 tour to the ofice

[ZapZang]

when are you going to root the virusware out of Google Image Search? I don't even use the thing anymore because of it ...

[vasca316]

[postal2600]

When will Google do something like Yahoo! OpenHack in Romania ?

[vasca316]
