I came across your blog while searching for review on SEZWHO as I have just installed it on my blog but unable to get the picture to show on my site.

Loading is a killer too...

I took it out after few times of loading... :(

Who on earth , except Google/Alexa , know how page ranking and other alogrithams work.

We at best only can make intelligent guesses based on our own and our fellow webmaster's experiences.

I am not "making it up". Few intelligent and successful bloggers and SEO guru's who own PR 6 - 7 websites have shared their experience. I have thought its good idea to pass this information along to the community.

If you don't like it or don't believe in it... just ignore it. there is no point arguing about it...

What evidence do you have for any of the Google/Alexa statements you make?

Absent any sort of proof, I think you are just making it up.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually use a tool on Pingdom to measure time for a site to load.

Hi, Jitendra,

Nice to have you on my blog. The whole concept of giving incentives for commenting on people’s blog is absurd. This is waste of internet.

You are trying to erode the line between publishers and readers.

That being said. Google does not penalize SezWho but in a way it does by ignoring circular links. some times the crawler assume that it’s link farm as a closed group of people commenting on each other’s blog creating back links. such links are worth nothing.

Also the point of discussion is not Google’s view of SezWho. Its the bug fixing your team has to do. It slows down sites and your company has to come up with a solution. and Fast…

I do understand your Marketing teams concerns about Positive Public Relation Strategy, but there is nothing you can do about bad code but fix it. You are not microsoft for god sake…

I hope you don’t take this article negatively and take it as a positive criticism.

Hey, Jitendra from SezWho here:

To address the issue with the slowness of the blogs, we are adding the option to have local CSS and JS for your sites. This will make sure that site are not dependent on SezWho for loading time. On Blogger, we have had a few issues with the layout and to address it we are implementing a template based solution for it which should be available soon. This will enable full customization.

Also please feel free to send us emails at support@sezwho.com for any slowdowns etc. and we will be happy to investigate. Typically we take about 30ms to load the CSS and about 50ms for the js. The blogger users see the slowdown as UI is shown dynamically, only after most of the page is loaded and depending on the number of widgets that might be slowed down. So this is really a perception issue...The template based approach will fix that problem as well.

Also there should be no issues with Google related to SezWho..SezWho displays the connections between blogs based on comments and commentets on demand…It does not effect the crawling of the site and as such there should be no penalties associated with it.

Hope this clears things up.

Thanks, Jitendra

Hi R Mak, interesting article... I was just wondering though, would you mind giving us the link for your source of information that allowed you make this statement: "The whole concept of Entre Card is so bizarre that it is being termed by Google and Alexa as spam." Thanks a million! :)
