Matt Cutts tweets out that Google algorithm had started to work after he was notified about the SEO practices by NYT.
What I dont understand:
1) Since the search results disappeared after it was brought to Google's attention, this was a manual effort. Matt makes it sound as if the automated algorithm removed the offending sites.
2) What is the world does 'started to work' mean ? Was it 'not working' earlier ?
word on the street is that Gap-Groupon deal worked out horribly bad for Gap. They were hoping people to spend more than the 50$. And it seems that a very,very small number actually did that. Majority limited their purchases to very close to the coupon amount. I doubt if Gap will be doing a Groupon again.
lmao on the (with each other) emphasis :)
