		<description>Hi Rob, ah a gr8 thread :) I think Goog has been a whole lot smarter, sometimes they come across all bright and fluffy - it must be working :) Certainly not a quality M$ ever displayed. I actually like a lot of the googlers I encounter, it&#039;s more a case of disliking the bs the company tries to push out, albeit with exceptional aplomb and delivery :)</description>

		<description>Rob - it&#039;s clear you&#039;re not alone, but I do agree with an earlier comment that if you know you can get penalised for doing something, then don&#039;t do it.

That said, the power that this one company has over the world is incredible and very dangerous. Why is it Microsoft get hit and yet Google are basically skipping merrily through a field of daisies in the sun while feeding lovely little bluebirds?

Incidentally, does nobody think it&#039;s a touch ironic that paid links are exactly where Google made/make their $gazillions given their stance?</description>

		<description>@ Brandon - I believe it was penalised cos they knew I would rant about it :) I wrote a review and got paid for it, once.


@Ted - you&#039;d be surpised at how profitable some renting deals can be. They work it&#039;s why people use them.

@ EM - Not entirely sure as to what part of the post or comments you are addressing but generally speaking sure, it is how it is and it works. When it changes people will adapt and do the very same. The web is a commercial thing, some might say that Google profits disproportionately, others might say that it is right that money should dictate who does and who doesn&#039;t succeed. We do live in a capitalistic system afterall. Maybe our monopolistic megalith will change algorithmic tack and embark on a reverse policy, more links equal lower ranks :D The web turned upside down, that could be fun ;)</description>

		<description>But isn&#039;t hiring a small army of people to post link spam for SEO purposes basically the same thing.  I mean, the more money you have, the more you can promote yourself whether paid or organic manipulation.</description>
