But on the same note I am also creating paths that allow me ways to gain traffic from other areas while also continue to increase my overall traffic. And yes, you're right... your blog is a channel or a line of communication that connects readers with your profession. It's nicely done! :) Overall I don’t want to do things that can close the door on having the opportunity to be ranked in Google.

I think you got the right approach going; seeing Google as a way of getting traffic, but not 'kissing their ass'. It's your blog not theirs and it's the engine's choice whether or not your site should be included.

I too have been building website for a long time... long before Google was around. Before Google came into the picture... I would cross my fingers that the Yahoo Dir editor would be having a good day when he reviewed my site for inclusion. lol... always joked about wondering what would happen if the editor came to work after having a huge fight with his wife... I was also a ODP editor and had tons of fun doing that. The Internet really wasn't all that bad back in the day... and don't get me wrong, its great today with Google. But, I don't know man... it just seems like things are getting to weird and complicated and because of that... I am focusing more than ever on making sure my incoming traffic is repeat as well as diverse in the source. Hey John,

I think their attitude is both unfortunate and heavy handed, as it stands to stifle individual revenue generating initiatives. I'm with you on building relationships with others though. I started off with a personal website ten years ago (before Google even existed, or at least was known of) and traffic building was achieved almost entirely by word of mouth, or tapping into inter-networks of like minded people.

Andy and I haven't always seen eye to eye on things... but when my day comes to a close... it's no different than his day coming to a close. We both make a living off the Internet and when a fellow blogger takes a hit, I have sincere compassion for them. All in all, I think Andy is going to do fine... he is widely respected and provides a ton of great information on his blog. I think he could get completely banned from Google and it wouldn't make much of a difference for him. The John Chow story as it is pretty controversial, it is also a historical milestone in itself too. John Chow doesn't need Google and he has more than proven that. His blog, even though it doesn't rank at all in Google, all the thousands of blogs that have written about him do and he gets tons of traffic from all the bloggers who have written about him and his wacky adventures with Google.
