Google Requirement: Pure White Hat SEO or Perish in Hell!!
I wanted to be the first to break this story. Google is going to announce next week a new policy regarding SEO. Either you practice Pure White Hat SEO methods or you will have your site removed from their index. No ifs ands or buts about it.
“It has gotten to the point where we just have to put our foot down regarding all this Spam and Black Hat techniques,” said Matt Cutts, one of the most well-known engineers by webmasters. “I mean, we’ve given them so many chances to comply, the time is now to end the madness.”
Cutts also stated that he had taken long-time “Black Hat Spammer” Leslie Rohde and converted him to the truth of White Hat SEO. The conversion was so powerful at the GooglePlex that the earth actually shook (reporters said it was an earthquake, but what do they know). Since all the evilness has been purged from Rohde, he is now known as “Sister Leslie”.
“I hope all SEOs will look to Sister Rohde for guidance,” said Cutts. “If not, they will learn a new term, Google Purgatory, from whence there is no return.”
Note: When asked the specifics of the definition of “White Hat SEO” Cutts stated there would be a teleseminar announced which will go over all aspects of the program, as well as integration inside of Google Webmaster Tools. “Just say out of the “fire” area and you should be okay,” concluded Cutts.

Now that is funny Jerry!
A little late for April fools day, aren’t we Jerry? You really need to get a day planner
I read in a Google follow-up post that white hat SEO’s must also sign a celebacy pledge and practice slope soaring twice a week aka the flying none. This may be why there are so few white hat SEOs?
Jerry, I’d love to see you in a nun outfit, too. Come on….
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all week Jerry, you really surpassed yourself with that one.
Sweet Mother of God.
I am sure payback from Leslie will be painful…
It is nice to see Sister Leslie Rohde has kicked her bad “habits”.
That’s almost as good as when you had Connor ask for Leslie at the “Live 5″ event. It will be interesting to see what “Sister Rohde” brews up in retaliation!
Well, when I look at that picture I see black and white. Which will Leslie really follow? Only God, I mean Google, knows.
I have been struggling after page rank loss for almost 2 years. Lost page rank, worked endlessly, removed anything that could be considered bad or sneaky, requested reinclusion 3 times. Never got page rank back. Of course nobody ever told me why. Site (unnamed here) is included in the index, but with no page rank traffic is 10% of what it was.
What’s next ? Pope Matt I
Being the good sport that I am, Leslie got me - and got me pretty good….

Well, this sounds kinda stiff from Google, i really hope it is a joke…anyway…i have never used black hat, since it usually includes many dedicated servers and high programming skill = expensive.
Marc, it was a joke.
Very interesting angle. Kinda like how we shouldn’t be focusing on web standards so much as producing good content.
Could you please give me some suggestions how can we make our blog no follow free.
Thanks for your post. Actually I am unaware of the SEO before seeing this topic but I am now clear of it.
