I find it interesting that selling text links still is popular on the web. You would think Google’s whipping of Web sites selling text links across the web would have essentially erraticated the practice. Many of you are probably aware of the several ‘get paid to blog’ sites out there. These are the ‘new’ paid method of text links. I have to assume it’s only a matter of time before Google catches up to these methods and punishes advertisers and/or bloggers for buying/selling text links.
What is stopping Google from crawling through the listings of bloggers? Then crawling through their blogs and identifying the potential Web sites that are paying for links. All seems quite simple to me from a Google engineers standpoint. Google cracked down on standard text links and I suspect they will do it again with any new method of buying and selling text links.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this…
