Shit’s about to hit the fan over paid links with the goog’

Posted by stuart as

Seems the goog’ is offering a form so we can all report sites that are using paid links.

Who the fuck do they think we are? The only people reporting paid links are going to be jealous wankers trying to cut a competitor sites revenue.

Rest assured people, buy a link here and I will NOT be adding nofollow to the tag. They can do the goddamned work themselves to work out if it’s a paid link or not.
For fuck’s sake, way to piss off the whole webmaster/blogging community google!

This is a massive boost for the paid review and pay per post type business model, as there’s no way that Google can be sure whether they’re paid or not.

Google’s on the run policy making is becoming a real pain in the ass. How can they chugg along letting everybody do what they think is the right thing, then in one fell swoop, effectively cut off a major revenue source?

One must wonder whether google’s position as the most prominent search engine is giving them FAR too much power outside the core of their main business model, and the ability to stick their fingers into areas which are of no concern to them.

This is obviously an attack on text link ads, it will be interesting to see how they react, what will happen to the value of text links if TLA add a nofollow tag to the links
