Ok, so I’m sat in the airport bored waiting for a connection and I notice Google once again spreading FUD. Encouraging average web users to label legitimate email that they have requested but no longer want to receive as spam is totally irresponsible. Way to go Brad Taylor ‘Gmail Spam Czar’ – you should be ashamed.
EDIT: Wow… over a year since I last posted.
Google has basically admitted they have lost by asking users to dob in anyone buying or selling links so they can have a nice clean set of search results to hang their paid advertising off (adwords). If they are going to penalise every site that buys or sells links then they are going to have to penalise a very large proportion of the interweb!
I can imagine all the Indian SEO companies gearing up their adverts now for the ’services’ section of DP – ‘We will report your top 20 competitors for buying or selling paid links – only $50!’ It’s has to be cheaper to burn your rivals down than to build yourself up.
Quadzilla is already welcoming the new legions 
If adwords isn’t full of false promises then I don’t know what is. Squeeze as much bullshit as you can about some crappy product into 70 characters. Even their QS makes you optimise your landing pages in a similar way to a doorway page from 1995. The REALLY hypocritical thing is what happens when you type ‘buy links’ into Google…. and then get faced with a pageful of crap results framed by adverts trying to SELL you paid links.
