"If an SEO and Joe Bob conduct the same PR campaign, the benefits should be equal, not less for the SEO because they “know the value of a link”. This isn’t a white hat/black hat debate. There’s no good vs evil. It’s about creating good sites, doing smart things and not being accused of being a cheat just because you’re an SEO." A level playing field is in order. Simple as that.

Can he make that claim enough times inone one day? He gets to sell links and manipulate the results with pages like this: http://www.seomoz.org/pages/seo-consulting#clients. Whereas any other SEO get's their less manipulative client list banned http://www.searchrank.com/clients.html. I guess being a tattle tell and teachers pet really does have it's benefits!

Technically they are Google enemies because by design they want google SERPS manipulated and hurt Google's pockets. Technically google has bigger fish to fry: counter are still working to get backlinks and mega corps have site-wide links to 20 sites and nothing happens to them.

Each and everyone of us has to decide, whether it is better to follow the Guidelines, be a wise White-Hat SEO or a "criminal" one. I made my decision from the beginning on. Build your business on highering the real value and relevancy of web sites. It is much cheaper then being punished and in the aftermath lose everything.

Most are afraid the stand up to the evil Bully Google has become. You want solid undeniable proof? Then read this article: http://gototom2.blogspot.com/2009/09/warning-google-continues-to-penalize.html And if it is not true why does Google not sue me for libel? Answer: Because they have no case against me because I have email proof of what I say from Google. You can not win a libel law suit against someone if they are telling the truth. Hello,

My only regret is I didn't get to it sooner. I've said for a while now Google is a monopoly it will take a court to stop...ask Bill Gates :) . I hate how they rule the web like "a Hitler" of sorts. If they don't like you, they can just put you into a "we think you're bad and it doesn't matter if you're not camp" or kill you. Keep in mind, I say this and still Google stuff....such a hypocrite or a good little trained monkey? Which ever...I'm in good company with the rest of the world. Absolutely love this post Lisa.

Google are massive hypocrites and their unintelligent algos can no more evaluate the quality of a site than they can evaluate the quality of a glass of wine. They employed this whole shady, false business of using popularity to ascertain quality and then they criticize others for attempting to manipulate popularity in order to thrive. Hypocrisy! The Emperor wears no clothes! The reason the internet used to be cool is that information was predominantly non-hierarchical in an overly hierarchical world. It was refreshing to find new, different stuff. Now, the internet has become a hierarchy. Awesome article.
