Preventing Virtual Blight

[JustinNeverSayNever7]

Virtual Blight, I don't like that.

[nattsurfaren]

Listening to this video I understand the problem but there is another side to this. The effect of stopping/making things harder for spammers also affect persons with a low budget to make a living on internet. The direction this takes is that everything will cost more money and you will get less results from the money you spend. The level of success will rise very high because methods that worked before but doesn't work now will still be found in articles and videos.That goes for new stuff also.

[craftpals]

[badqual]

thanks you...

[livinintraffic]

How is this any different than us having a YouTube channel? Trolls, spammers and

jerks hack us all the time.

[perplexedmortal]

its different because you have a lot less control over your youtube channel than a webmaster has over his website.

[rfry]

man hide that chest hair

[pureiipker]

wow no

[mohimohi1983]

Did anyone notice what website he was warning us not to go? I really want to see that website, but can't understand the address well.

[msn164]

i like the turn down the lights feature

[spyro303]

Great presentation! I really liked that bit about the obfuscated Javascript redirect!

Nice job not revealing your coworker's identity there. :) A word of advice - you're credible enough that your audience will believe you if you show us an example but don't mention the domain name.

[cdtavijit]

i like this guy too. And yes, no one will question his credibility.

[summerwizz]

youtube is infected

[pa6xylly]

fantastic. your solutions are so creative. i love google.

[buenotc]

very good

[TB674]

google is one of my favorite company....:D

[naichengwei1]

google i know you own youtube but do not anyhow delete people video!

[mexicanmonkey123]

yup, he was right. that web site is seriously sick

[ConcussioNMedia]

PM what it really said on that website please.... mexicanmonkey

[dansgalaxy]

Im sure one of the reasons is because they know that many people cant afford or just cant go to these big confrences...

Hell i can't im 16, as much as i would like to its just not an option.

However it is important to note that in many cases it isnt the men in suits at confrences shaping the internet, its the kid webmasters sitting at home coding away...

Share the knowledge and google get to employ the next generation of computer boffins to make them money ;)

[atlaschooty]

really cool...

[eliaskai]

Great move

[glasnt]

I like this video, however, you've pretty much advertised 6 spam sites in the video :p

[glasnt]

Oh, and seriously, don't go to that mentioned site. Its illegal in most of the world.

Shouldn't Google reflect the popularity of a site rather than defining it?

Why webmasters should jump through hoops in order to get a new pagerank for the next chi20xxDOTorg?

Obviously users knows about it, but Google doesn't?

So, webmasters should get their user-popular website popular with Google in order for Google to tell users that their site is popular?

Interesting

[timwintle]

I think you've missed the point - Google detects what's popular based on what people link to. That's why spammers try to get links from your site to theirs.

You can't expect Google to detect how interesting people are going to find a site - they can only detect what people have found interesting before.

[peppeddu]

The popularity is reflected by quality links, it is not defined by it

Obviously a site like chi20xxDOTorg will be popular because those who attended the previous year's event will likely attend the next one

Among all the variables that Google uses to reflect the popularity of a site, this one apparently is not considered

Hence the suggestion is not to get a new chi20xxDOTorg because Google cannot properly rank it

In this case Google defines the popularity of the site instead of reflecting it

[MrFredGSanford]

He sounds like Kermit the Frog. :-)

On a serious note Google. Why would anyone pay hundreds or thousands if they know you'll just make free videos that summarizes things after the fact?

[wolfekeeper]

They wouldn't. But if google posts this particular video up, then it saves google money every time they don't have to handle a hacked site because the owner prevented it or handled it promptly.

[gnud2]

To Matt Cutts:

If you're a Hacker, you want attack, on the other hand if you are a cracker you shall attack.

Mind your language about Hacker, Hacking !!!

[Propolandante]

[warlord90210]

[04ayasin]

lol i did go, but i just wanted to pretend i didnt

[04ayasin]

i get PMs from people on this site all the time telling me to go to a certain site. i just ignore them

[igabbie23]

that was interesting

[eviltwin777]

There a lot of spam on Youtube. It's not links but website URLs, also why don't they just use moderators like every other major service?

[Shadow14l]

Because they would need staff to do it, in which they would have to pay. I'd rather pay a few people to make an automatic service, than to pay tens of thousands of people to moderate a site. Also you'd need people in charge of those, and it'd get too complex and expensive.

[eviltwin777]

Thats why we have Chinese, lol jk. Also the users of the site feel assured due to the quick response the mods will have since there so many of them.

[eviltwin777]

There's a lot of spam on Youtube. There not links but there website URLs.
