Jason, you are actually full of crap. For starters, you are mistaken, or pretending not to know, as to why this keeps happening to you. You brought this on yourself, and on Mahalo.com, by unsubtle spamming and boasting about it, and then being rude to boot. You can whine all you want about the perceived injustice of people calling you on your crap, but the fact remains it is your actions that are getting called out, nothing more and nothing less.
This isn't about a small handful of pages that don't have content on them, and if you read the posts you were rebutting instead of trying so damn hard to make yourself sound better then you might actually have information you could use to improve your site.
The vast majority of the pages on Mahalo are empty pages devoid of human generated content. It is not like I am straining my ass off to find them, either. Click on this link, scroll down the page, click through to 20-30 pages (the ones with all lower case titles demonstrate what I am talking about most often, focus on those), and LOOK AT YOUR WEBSITE:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=site:mahalo.com&start=300&sa=N http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&...
In order to appease Matt Cutts, who gave you the courtesy of warning you instead of banning you outright, you did in fact add noindex to all of those pages. 1 day later, after he saw that it was there, you removed it again.
Pretending not to know what is being talked about and making shit up in an attempt to garner pity for being picked on is not helping your cause any.
- shareme 17y agoI agree, Jason at least address the points being discussed..
- jasonmcalacanis 17y agoas I've said, all these pages are being deleted, redirected or built out. also, the no index thing is going to be on all pages under 100 original words. we are working as fast as we can to resolve all these stubs, but many are owned by users and we don't want to just nuke them.... so, we're busy at work. thanks for the feedback....
- mvandemar 17y agoThe noindex tags were there... you took them out again as soon as Matt Cutts looked at the pages. If you want to be taken seriously, maybe you can address that issue instead of calling me a troll for bringing it up. Also, if you are going to attack me and make accusations about what is being written, could you please at least have the courtesy to actually read the stuff first?
- tdm911 17y agoHave the goal posts moved again Jason? i'm also getting a list of every page under 300 words and having the page managers build them out in 30 days or deleting them. from: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1143512 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1143512 or we're removing (or building out) any page in our system created by our users with under 200 words of original content. This will take a couple of weeks but it's tarted. from: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1144174 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1144174 and now 100 words?
- niyazpk 17y agoAwwwww..this is so cute, Jason! I have a mental picture of you and your engineers trying hard for months in vain to add no-index to all those pages. Don't worry any more. I am here. Here is the code. Copy paste and everything will be fine: if(content.length < 100){ content.setNoIndex(True); } Let me know if there is anything that needs to be explained. (I can talk to your engineers if needed) Peace and Love
- shareme 17y agoglad to hear it..now see was that not a better response than the personal attack of calling all SEO people terrorists that you did a few days ago?
