It's something I now learned about Google taking such serious action. I am not surprised though as Google is always making changes or taking actions as often as we change clothes.

There are bots, but there also are humans checking links and watching the changes throughout the internet database of Google. Anyway, nice post! I guess the problem with the TLA was that affiliate were obliged provide Dofollow links, which could be double advertising: you get PR and Advertisement at the price of one.

Can you blame them? They're a business, and their business is making sure serps and pagerank mean something. What is more important to you, a monthly check from TLA, or a neverending flood of traffic from Google? I have to side with Google on this one. My relationship with them seems a lot more important than some easy paid link money, links that have nothing to do with the content of my site to boot. No matter how much TLA pays, it's a site killer if it buries your serps. Good and plentiful content, good design, and advertising that is relevant to your niche may not make money as quickly, but in the long run it's a better recipe for success.

Dee, you are absolutely right, Google has fought on one front and totally forsaken another, try searching Google pictures for ANY sexy girl's name and you will find porn if not on the first, then definitely on the second page.As a result Google just loses credibility in many people's eyes. Anonymous, I lost more than 8 advertisers via Text Link Ads over the past month and that it's a rather unusual result considering that the traffic and Alexa rank only improved. On the other hand, I made a record with Adsense revenue, but of course it probably varies with every publisher. Funny this is, if you search Google for "buy Pagerank link", you will have "sponsored links" on the side offering openly to sell you a link on PR6 page. This only proves that if you advertise it via Adwords, it can get uhm overlooked.. Thanks for your comments!
