I see two fundamental issues with this approach. The first is punative. While it does, kind of, punish bad behavior, it doesn't go far enough. You may deprive Google of some small revenue, but you're still giving them a lot that contributes to their bottom line. They can still claim a googol of clicks and eyeballs, etc. People will still see them as the end-all-be-all, and voluntarily submit their sites to google's attention--ignoring any other options. The second is the failure to reward. It is not enough to kill off bad actors if you haven't nurtured good actors to take their place. In this case, the good actor could even be Google. If there are efforts to do things differently, we should find the ones we like and reward them. They will benefit and their competition will observe and imitate.
