Would you report to google?

evilfurby · 09-06-2007, 10:09 PM

I'd just like to know what people think about Google's new policy on sites that buy/sell links. Would you report sites for this? I think it's disgraceful that google has adopted this new policy. I think many people make more money selling links than they ever do off google adsense. It's just another way for google to crush competition and take in more of our money.

In my opinion if you report this stuff to google then you are just a sheep being led to the slaughter.

But then again this webmastering stuff isn't really a big source of income for me...

1. buy traffic
2. link farm, link bait
3. send fake traffic

So? The $150 billion corporation should do it's own damn work instead relying on this type of web-vigilantism.

Link purchasing is not over at all, paid directories are what are currently being put under attack.

I read an interview that was done by SEMOZ , the interview was with 4 search engine represenatives from Google, Yahoo, Ask, And Aol all of them said that pay-per-post is still fine, but Ask did mention that they would discount link value if the review wasn't on a related blog, While Yahoo said it is not worth their time to check pay-per-post reviews.

Pay-Per-Post reviews will turn into the new directories as all search engines say that using this type of method is perfectly fine. Usually 3 links are imbeded inside of a review. A whole new way to purchase links.
