#2I'm sure it's just a bug, and they're working to fix it real soon now... ;)
Re: Mahalo's disappearing noindex tags
#3When will we stop hearing about Calacanis and Mahalo? The only thing I take away from the whole thing is how effective manipulating search engines can be. And I already knew this. From blackhat SEOs.
The only thing the blackhats haven't taught me is how to get into the Google index and stay there - how are you doing it, Calacanis?

#4Shame on Google algorithms for not automatically being able to detect a page without content.
Over the years, my view of the Google's ranking algorithms went from dream-like (they are so smart they understand everything) to infant-like (just a bunch of keyword counters).
Obviously there has to be huge complexity involved, so my current view must be pessimistic, but still...
Just one (unrelated) example: search for "leader in online used cars" in Google. Does every human understand what I'm looking for? Here's search result #5: "Indian holy leader and BA stewardess arrested over prostitution".

#5Who is Jason Calacanis and why is this particular but of SEO notable? What is aspect of this should "gratify my intellectual curiosity?"

I am just waiting for Calacanis to show up here and say just that.
I have never seen anybody else lie that openly and get away with it.

Damn, you're going to feel pretty foolish if it ends up that either the Indian holy leader or the BA stewardess are among the current leaders in online used car sales.

Jason Calacanis is a guy who runs a sweatshop building a website you've probably never been to and never will because you're a smart person who doesn't fall for spam.
He also has made a career out of being a professional asshole and making fun of "lifestyle businesses" that make products that people like and pay for. He thinks that if you're not a workaholic and want to enjoy your short time here on Earth then you shouldn't be working with startups.

#10If Mahalo is alleged to be a scraper site then just let Google handle it.
If you think about, if Google delists the site then thats probably their business model gone because Google is like 60% of search Market in the US and higher else where so if Google delists them and take away their Adsense then they are in trouble.
So let them taunt Google all they like and then see what happens when the Google Dragon wakes up because it won't be pretty.
