There’s nothing new about this post. It’s been said before. But for those who still confuse ethics with believing whatever line of bull the search engines might be throwing out for their own betterment, I wanted to just put out a little reminder on this fine April day.
One definition of a hypocrite, according to dictionary.com, is:
a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.
Google’s stance on paid links:
…link sellers can lose trust, such as their ability to flow PageRank/anchortext…when I say “paid links” it’s pretty safe to add in your head “paid links that flow PageRank and attempt to game Google’s rankings.”
And yet, Google has NO PROBLEM profiting off of this very thing, as you can see by the screenshots I took for a search for [sell links].
Like I said, nothing new here. We’ve all seen this before, but I like to serve a reminder now and then, that Google does what is in the best interest of Google’s bottom line, so keep that in mind the next time you kneel down at the altar of Goog. Just sayin’…
