After warning VegasMack and Las Vegas Homes and consulting with many people (my partners, forum owners and many members here) and seeing this last post, me and my partners from SiteTutor, Inc. have decided to revoke Las Vegas Homes' Super Moderator status since we no longer feel he is having the best interest of our community in mind.

I have sent out the same PM to both mack and Wayne stating
" as a forum owner I do not take sides, but if any of you starts this again, I will do so based on that."

I am very sorry it had to come to this especially since Wayne has been a great help and support from day 1.
However in recent developments me and my partners have unanimously decided that in order for this forum to run well, las Vegas Homes can not be a moderator at this time.

I wish everyone the best and in order to help make that happen, I am doing what appears to be in everybody's best interest.

Everyone feel free to PM me if they have any questions.

Mike Dammann
Site Tutor, Inc.

P.S.: The ban is only temporary and a precaucion done by my partners until they feel comfortable to move on without any further problems. My email is sitetutor@gmail.com

I think we will see many changes in the Top 3 this year in an effort to improve on relevance to keep visitors coming back.

I for one like the competition and feel the Internet will be a better place for it.

From my understanding google is going to release an aglo that will make Hilltop and Florida look like a walk in the park in April. I get this from a very good source that has a relative working at google. I guess only time will tell.

I am on aim with a friend of mine who runs one of the best search engine companies in the nation ( he doesn't let me mention his association because of my previous war at the DMOZ forum

and no, it's not Morgan )
He told me, yeh an algo change is coming soon but who cares, focus on good content, good structure and good links to and from good sites.

basically when you hang with the best you will be a part of the best....

Qualiy survives.
Stay away from bad neighborhoods, sites involved in random link exchanges with garbage links solely placed there for the purpose of gaining SERPS.

It is like having a magazine about vacation rentals and featuring run down buildings in bad neighborhoods. Eventually people will say your magazine is garbage.

The best thing to do now is cover your bases and then let the search engines do the rest.

Good advice Mike.

Thank you, Mack

Remember, the search engines are in charge, the " experts " are not.
I am trying to put myself in the search engines way of thinking every day and of course the average surfers. We need to help the search engines find us.
They spider the popular sites and when they find your link on them, they will validate your site as well.

Keep your thoughts coming, guys! I love these conversations
