This post is going to get a new life via a convoluted path from a current article. Will be interesting to see how many comments it gets.

One of the problems white HAT SEO practitioners face is the transparency and accountability of people purposely manipulating search engine rankings. Unfortunately there is no court of law for SEO. I am hoping for a fast interactive system where flagging of penalties where webmasters can flag report infringements and know what penalties they received after all they have got all the benefits of the traffic.

Hi Matt could you please tell me if this is considered spam, Here. Basically this website has multiple domains all targeting the same keyword linking to each other and the leave comments on sites like the linked site given which is a news site that is not a nofollow. The comment is nothing but an advertisement for their business it helps the viewers with nothing but yet they get a backlink ... is this allowed, can we all do it cause right now these guys are not being penalized. I'm sure if the spam team looked into their network you would see something.

I see our competitors buying links, doing all sorts of tricks and yet they are still ranking at the top for key keywords. Its hard when customers say why are they there and we cannot bad mouth them for what they do as that in itself is bad business practice. Maybe one day they will loose there ranking.

Interesting article, there seems to be a launch every few months for some software that promises short cuts to getting great results.

I guess there is always a new method or software that comes out that promises it is going to get great SERPs but if they work, they don’t last long normally. This is just short term stuff.

Now this was a good read that just showed up on a business search. Sometimes sometimes finding something like this on a random search is like a belated Christmas present.

What about ‘unpaid’ variations of links embedded in content? I received a request from another site to have them write free articles for my site, in exchange for my leaving their embedded back-links intact. I’m not sure how you would detect that, but it’s certainly spam.
