Feedback on BigDaddy Data Center

This quote is from Matt Cutts blog:

I’m about blogged out for the day, and there are better places to discuss this stuff (WebmasterWorld, Search Engine Watch Forums, etc.). The best way to get people to process your feedback is to use the spam report form or the dissatisfied link, make sure that you include the keyword “bigdaddy” and try to be as specific and clear as you can.

... I’d be delighted to get webspam feedback, but I’m most interested in hearing feedback about canonicalization, redirects, duplicate urls, www vs. non-www, and similar issues. Before you send in a report, please read my previous posts on url canonicalization, the inurl operator, and 302 redirects.

<Very interesting reading today on threadwatch.org
Google BigDaddy = SEO Honeypot?>

Reseller,
Thanks for the food of thought in your post this morning. I don't believe it but it is an interesting thought. I think it is easier for Google to collect SEO terms by data mining the adwords databases then using a honeypot though.

I was using Google this week to look for good travel related information sites in the top 10 of search results to put CPM Adwords advertisements on them. However I could hardly find any for one word terms. Also not on Big Daddy. Might be the result of Googles succes to put authority sites (= accomodation-brookers and travel agencies) first in the SERPS?

I don't want my advertisements on thin affiliates and spamsites as well but some more (and not less) good informational travel related sites with Adwords high in the SERPS would be nice.

"I was using Google this week to look for good travel related information sites in the top 10 of search results to put CPM Adwords advertisements on them. "
What is your point?
search for one word.
hotels?
flights?
travel?
All the top 10 sites on the above KW's (we are talking about Giants )are the most relevant and they don't use adsense ,exept a UK travel site.Probably you don't like thin affiliate sites ,but if the above Giants aprove smaller publishers with quality sites to be there affiliates why don't you want to put your add in one of those.Unfortunatelly you can't put your adds at Expedia or Kelkoo or Travelocity.

Maybe you're using the wrong one-word terms, or maybe you should emulate users by using multi-word terms (such as "widgetville travel" or "widgetville tourist information" instead of just "widgetville"). Generic searches on "travel" or "hotels" probably wouldn't do you much good even if Google excluded made-for-AdSense scraper sites, thin affiliate sites, etc. from search results.

Since there is no BigDaddy and hasn't been for awhile, this thread should go to sleep until Big Daddy is actually ready.

Agreed -- see you all in a later thread.
