Google clamps down on pay per post
General News November 21st, 2007Google has been latly been on what only can be described as a mad rampage of the interweb.
Page ranks on lots of site slashed, and now, pay per post bloggers, making a humble income to supplement their lives has seen their pagerank cut if not reduced to zero.
But why.. ?Â
I think this is because the google system for measuring links to judge a websites popularity is so flawed at every single level, when people chose to use pay per post as another advertising avenue, google cannot cut these links out, so rather than amending its system to take account of these, google just black lists the lot of them.
This in my opinion is merly forcing people who want to advertise to use googles advertising programs.
Google who does no evil, apart from removing sites it doesn’t like from its index, condeming other avenues of avertising for websites, and censoring results in china and elsewhere, have also removed one of my most favourite sites from their index, www.gotoandlearn.com  - Thanks google.

Its the kind of thing you expect from Microsoft, bullying everyone into submission. I can understand why it has been done though.
