Google has and continues to say, build your website for your visitors. Now they say, build them for "our" SE and algorithym or be "harmed".

Exactly. I think it really backward of Google for them to make webmasters write code to please Google and Google alone. This is a problem with their algorithm, not our websites. So the onus SHOULD BE on them to fix their own damn broken algorithm, not on us to code our pages so they don't have to fix it.
Having said that, I don't buy links, and I don't sell links so none of this affects me either way, though I do give better placement in terms of a featured link in the webgeek directory, which hasn't seemed to hurt it any. Maybe because I only have a very few featured links.
That being the case, it doesn't stop me being totally PO'd at Google for this "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude of theirs. They sell links all over the place and don't use the nofollow attribute on any of their own stuff. Yet they expect us to code for them and squeal to them? A$$holes.
