So lets report google! To Google!
Sphunn for the graphic.

Thanks for the positive responses for "Uncle Matt," I couldn’t resist!
Don’t do it, never do evil ( unlike Google). It isn’t right and what goes around certainly comes around. Never do to others what you would not like done to you and your own sites, no matter how tempting.
This paid link witch hunt can’t hold water. Google overstepped and they really need to start playing damage control like yesterday. Who cares if the link is paid? Seems to me Google has always approached things from a quality standpoint, and if you have links from junk directories or sites, then they don’t count positively towards your ranking. This problem should have been solved with that policy years ago. So now should we expect Yahoo to get penalized? How about sponsor lists on conference websites? Customer lists in your profile? Is Google trying to convince us that they can’t identify a link farm accurately enough anymore, but we can trust them to determine the intent of a sponsored link? Bullshit.What this tells me is that Google’s algo isn’t as good at doing this as they wanted us to believe, in fact, most people know that having a bunch of links you can 301 around from crusty old domains is a pretty consistent way of gaming Google for some time now. Fix your algo you twerps, don’t try to villanize other people’s businesses and try to make the general public turn on them for you. Do no evil, indeed.
