update: I have confirmed with two Google employees that these new guidelines were put up by mistake and were not meant to go public yet. I just happened to notice them and I naturally wrote about them.
I have removed this post because I was writing about something that was not supposed to go live yet. I guess all I can tell you for sure is that there will be new guidelines at some point.
Sorry for the confusion. Not what I wanted for my first blog post on feedthebot!
Bummed you pulled the post mate. I think, even if premature, it was some good info and definitely some insight into the direction Google is going when it comes to their webmaster guidelines moving forward. Perhaps you could repost and just leave a disclaimer that the guidelines aren’t final.
Hi Mike, thanks for the comment, I know what you mean, but I write almost exclusively on the guidelines and I know the googlers involved, and it doesnt sit right with me to display their stuff that was put out there by mistake. I can wait.
Any idea on when they will be public? Super interested now…
Aww, Google updated the cached version of your page already, and Bing doesn’t have it at all… bummer ;(
Hi Scott,
Sorry, no word on when they will be updated publicly
It’s their fault for going live by mistake, not yours. You should put the post back up.
Stop kissing googles ass and post the guidelines
