Hi Lisa,

At this point if a website has not recovered significantly after numerous overhauls of content, would you suggest toning back overall content and writing comprehensive guides?

Part of the issue for many businesses lies in the definition of high quality. To Google this might mean research studies on topics, to the laymen user it might mean a simple 500 word guide written by the owner.

Thanks,
David

Lisa, how do you his statement on Panda recovery? Almost impossible until Google changes /runs it or what?

rel=author, seems to be an attribute that’s already available in microdata (schemas), though advancing the concept to stand as AuthorRank looks promising, especially in ranking better pages (than scrapers).

I’m glad Matt debunked that facebook correlation. I didn’t go to the conference, but I saw the tweets come across and started cringing – knowing that Google doesn’t have that information.

I’ve always theorized that Good sites rank higher, and people share good sites more often. (or, people just find the sites that rank high and share those)

Correlation can be very dangerous.
