Wrap-up on Google’s anticompetitive link-buying scheme
by Randall McCarley
August 28th, 2007
I’m ready to move on from this issue but I wanted to point out some of the discussion about Google’s “hide your paid links” policy. First up is Michael Gray’s Paid Link PowerPoint Presentation from SES San Jose which is not just informative but also fun. After the panel WebProNews caught Michael and Rand Fishkin to discuss more about the issue and some of the confusion around it.
That movie is 18 minutes long and worth the watch as it covers immediate impressions from the conference.
I made another post about Google’s policy and what you should do about it at SEOmoz. And started a couple conversations at Sphinn. Read those comments as they have great insight.
I’d like to see Todd Malicoat weigh in on his blog as his points at the conference were so good. And I’d like to see you weigh in too. Join some of the conversations going on or write up your own blog post. This issue gets pretty scary if Google learns it can control how webmasters build and promote their sites.
