Insider Ranking with Vanessa Fox and Zillow.com
Now put on your tinfoil hats folks, because I smell the start of a conspiracy theory of Insider Ranking…
On 5-16-2007 webmasters started posting about removal of credit for reciprocal link accumulation on real estate websites.
On or about 6-6-2007, The SMX diaries Interview with Matt Cutts revealed the discussion about the reciprocal linking penalty against real estate sites and the thread going on at Real Estate Webmasters about this.
On 6-11-2007, this posting was made on seomoz about how to handle a Google Penalty, and an example from the world of Real Estate.
On 6-14-2007, Vanessa Fox announced that she was leaving Google Webmaster Central, and it was also reported on SEOMoz and on Matt Cutts blog on 6-14-2007 as well.
On 6-26-2007 additional postings have been made concerning how it looks to be hit by Google’s Real Estate Reciprocal Link Penalty.
Does anyone know where Vanessa is going when she leaves Google webmaster Central?
Anybody???
The answer is Zillow.com
Anyone want to tell me what Zillow.com is?
Anybody???
From the title and description…

Did Vanessa give a 1 month notice then help pave the way to make sure that the new real estate venture turned out profitable by damaging the ranking of competing real estate websites?
