Reply To: poker sites penalized in google recently

if it is paid links then many of the casinos /poker room are in big trouble lol.I dont even give myself a link on any websites i make any money on but i have spent $70,000 on content so far in 2008.Content will be king in the end in my opinion.I also check my own backlinks frequently becuase i believe google’s new ‘system’ is flawed and easy for people to pick off the competition if they put up links for them then report them to google.
This ‘manual ‘intervention from google staff is very scary stuff .But the sites mentions still have their pagerank and pages are in the cache so i wouldnt really get excited yet ,not a total ban .
