Google Poll: Do You Want Us To Call Out Your Technical SEO Issues Publicly?

Dec 17, 2014 - 8:05 am 22 by

Google's Gary Illyes posted a poll on Google+, which currently has only 70 votes, asking if you would feel comfortable with him publicly calling out technical SEO issues on your site on Google+.

The question was:

Quick webmastery poll: How would you feel if I publicly disclosed here on Google+ that I reached out to your site (mentioning the URL) about a very serious technical issue?

Most of you, thus far, have no problem with it - including myself:

Google Public Webmaster Feedback

But we need more people to complete the poll. 70 responses is not enough, so head over there and complete it.

I doubt Google will go ahead with this, because it can lead to people losing their jobs. Although, I think it would help more people than hurt more people if Google did indeed do this.
