Calling Upon Google & Matt Cutts - Do Something About ALL Paid Links

[Peter (IMC)]

I'm calling upon Google and Matt Cutts to do something about paid links.

The situation is a mess. There are companies spending lots of money on paid links which are not discounted and they obtain top 10 positions with them.

Google, Matt,

I am ok with your war on paid links. A big fan of it actually. But right now it's not going very well. You´re simply not catching enough of them. The result is a mess and you´re causing problems for SEO companies.

How is an SEO company going to explain to a company that you are against paid links and are discounting them while their competition is buying tons of them and are in the top 10? I tell them to do the same? I doubt you want that. Who's responsible if all the sudden you discount a whole bunch of links that they just paid for? For this reason I never advice to buy links for search engine positioning purposes.

Maybe this problem is worse outside the USA. But it is a problem.

I'm calling upon Google and Matt Cutts to contact me so I can show them a huge list of sites that sell links and still have PR. You have an office in São Paulo and I'm very happy to meet with a Googler in São Paulo to show the problems. Just contact me, Matt knows my email address (from mattcutts.com/blog and from there you can find the address of my company as well) I won't use the spam report form because to be honest,... it doesn't work. It looks like most of those reports are simply ignored.


To give an example, A website in the portuguese language buying links from english language websites with portuguese words in the anchor text. Links in blocks marked as "sponsored links". These pages show PR in the toolbar, sometimes pretty high PR. Aren't you supose to zero out the PR of those types of sites?

Obviously I can not publish these sites here. So I ask Google to contact me to show them to them personally. Let me help you with the war on paid links. I'll even have an employee find these links for you and will not charge a dime. All I want is the certainty that you do something about these paid links. And I realise in some cases we might be wrong. No problem. That can happen. All I want is the certainty that you really have evaluated these links and taken the appropriete actions.

Thank you,

Peter (IMC)

How do you know they are paid links ??

How do you know these "so called Paid Links" are causing these sites to rank ??

Have you reported these "paid links" to Google with proof that these sites purchased links to rank in or rig Google.

Who told you the Google spam reports do not work ??
