I was wondering what everyone felt about
John Chow website being basically baned in Google for simply trying to be monetize. Personally I think it is awful if it was a hand job by Google. First off relevance is ruined for the query "John Chow" and second it makes Google look petty. Sort of like if your not making money with us you wont be in the Google SERPs.
I have a detailed blog posting at my blog everyone should read through for more details:
