Es un verdadero problema el ver la reputación de tu sitio comprometida por enlaces de los cuales ni siquiera tenías constancia de su existencia, es algo que puede haberle ocurrido a quien dejó la gestión de su Web en manos irresponsables, acumulando links en granjas de enlaces y directorios poco recomendables. Para quien no se dedique profesionalmente al desarrollo Web y tenga un sitio que se vea afectado por esta contingencia será bueno saber que existe un servicio de Google para repudiar los enlaces negativos, pero es preciso manejarlo con cuidado, pues puede ser fatal el emplearlo sin conocimiento. Éste es el enlace al servicio, para el que se necesita tener cuenta en Webmaster Tools: https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2648487

Interesting Neil. I've had some newer sites link to other websites only to suddenly receive emails saying that they DEMAND I remove the link to their website from my content! Since when does a domain owner have the legal power or authority to demand that a link to their site be removed because they hadn't authorized it or because they said it was in violation of Google's linking requirements. What's with that? I remember not to long ago that people wanted links because that was a doorway to traffic. I don't have "crap" sites nor do I create them for advertising purposes like adsense like so many people do. What's up with that?

Disruptive & Exploding Content Curation
Wish I could tell you I plan to write sentences that will resonate and define something like content curation in a helpful way. The plan is to LOVE what I do and want to share it as often and as many ways as possible almost everything after that is accident (lol).
Content curation is about to explode. It has too, as Scoop.it's CEO Guillaume noted a good argument could be made that all content that ever needs to be created already has. This means the shift is to the curators.
I read something attributed to uber-curator Maria Popova. She supposedly said each time an Internet marketer uses the word "curator" real curators kill a kitten. Popova was being dramatic, but I take her point.
Our "curation" is digital curation - the active filtering, theming and organizing of a monster fire hose of content pointed at all of us. Our ability to read and make sense of the world may mean we are all "curators". A contemporary life requires curation.
Wish I could plan my day to create another piece of content as well received and helpful as this Curatti.com post, but it doesn't work that way. Better to focus on digging the ditch that needs digging than worrying too much about "viral marketing" or "legacy" content (is my thinking :). M
