Here are the claims I can think of in the last few days: - Claiming that your email newsletter's Gmail reputation affects your ranking: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2600933 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2600933 I did a full debunk here: http://goo.gl/6A8f9 http://goo.gl/6A8f9 - Claiming that Hacker News was penalized by Panda: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2595704 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2595704 I did a full debunk here: http://goo.gl/7Tw9o http://goo.gl/7Tw9o - There was an SEO blog that had a headline "Google Copying Bing's Image Results? Google Cheating Bing?" at http://www.seroundtable.com/google-indexing-bing-13477.html http://www.seroundtable.com/google-indexing-bing-13477.html when in fact it was just images on bing.net and Bing neglected to have a robots.txt file. We have a policy against search results in search results, so we were happy to remove the images in less than a day. The SEO blogger changed the headline to be less sensational. - Oh, one more debunk: http://allthingsd.com/20110527/google-no-government-investigations-have-not-frozen-our-manual-search-tweaks/ http://allthingsd.com/20110527/google-no-government-investig... The webspam team continues to take manual action to remove spam in the same way that we have for the last decade. Those are the four debunks that come to mind from the last week or so. Sigh.
