Who Can We Blame?
Is Google Being Unscrupulous? (click here)
When SearchKing/PR Ad Network's Bob Massa began selling text ads on its network with prices based on Google PageRank, all hell broke loose.
To make matters worse, the last Google Dance showed that every site in the PR Ad Network had been assigned a PR0, a sign that Google had penalized them.
Since Bob didn't inform his network he was going to try a new marketing strategy before he did it, the web site owners in his Network had no choice but to go down the tubes with him.
Did Google throw pie at Bob and his Network of sites? Could any of this have been worked out peacefully without the need to hurt the reputation of a hundreds of web sites?
When Google policy states their Toolbar can not be used for commerical purposes, does this mean no SEO professional can use it for work on their client sites, and to help them judge a client's competition?
What, exactly, is going on here and why isn't Google talking about it?
This is a hot thread. What do you think? Would you link to Bob or any of his Network sites now?
