Comments on: Google Buys DoubleClick, Announces Penalties for Non-Google Advertising http://www.johnon.com/289/googleclick.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

Previously accepted practices like linking to other websites are now high-risk, as Google threatens to devalue sites that link out under sponsored arrangements like discounts, membership or even professional courtesy." Excellent points. In recent PR upgrades I`ve seen sites plunge to zero from 3 and 4. “The danger may be greatest for business owners, however, who know even less about the technical details of web sites.

Do they penalize the `big boys` the same way if it comes across paid links? Somehow I doubt it. They need the big guys more than the smaller sites, and some even say that they are using double standards because of their own use of backdoor paid links to promote Google itself.

Seems to me you're twisting lots of words and actions in order to sensationalize the situation. What’s with the sudden anti-google propaganda lately, John?
