I'll certainly be keeping my eyes out for people selling links and submitting reports accordingly =)I do have one question...I have noticed a few competitors for my own websites have links from paid link and "high page rank seo" directories. I feel that this is an unfair advantage they have over me and they are purposely manipulating your algorithm to rank above resources that are genuinely popular with real internet users. Do you intend to bring a way for people to 'snitch' on the competition, so to speak, Like on a case by case basis of each link, or will you just be dropping entire link selling directories from your search results?Hope this reaches youAll the best Hi matt,

Isn't this the same as having a doorway site?Regards, Joe Hi Matt,

Does Google down grades the ranking of those sites ?, then why is there is so many sites still offering paid link services?

Here in the UK there is a government department selling a product to the public on a commercial basis, there are lots of private companies trying to compete in the industry but this gov.uk ranks top of Google! They run this commercial activity on a .gov.uk domain which is against the rules of such a domain extension. Would google act on a report on this and consider an index removal? If so, how can we report it and where?Cheers, Steve Hey Matt, on the off chance you read this would you give me a quick head’s up on something I have not come across before.
