You gotta love double standards. :)
I wish I could get away with something like that! Come on Mr. Cutts... Where are you on this one?
Wow...can they even DO that? Google or no Google, I would think the legalities around running a promotion like that would prevent them from being able to exclude such a massive number of people from a contest. You know...like the contests McDonald’s runs in which they have to state "no purchase required...to enter by mail...blah, blah, blah...". Not only should Google penalize the domain, if that’s what they’d do to another domain, I think the authorities should look into this. Then again, I’m no legal expert! I’m sure Martha’s cracker-jack legal team reviewed this contest before it was launched...right?
I don’t see why this is unethical, the bloggers can put a nofollow on the link if they like, yes Martha gets SEO benefit but some bloggers get a huge traffic increase if they win. You may as well tut in dissapproval over every competition you see in the paper, after all they only do it to get more people to buy their newspaper.There are certainly cases where Google seems to have a double standard but lets not cry wolf (geddit?) too much :)
