By 'penalizing' sites for bad links, Google is opening a lot of scary doors. Historically, they've instead devalued bad links which makes a lot more sense to me.
Penalizing a site for websites that link to them simply isn't fair. There is no way for a website owner to control that.
- scottkrager 14y agoI agree with you there. I would think Google penalizes the sellers, and only if they can nearly 100% confirm that the site linked to initiated the link, then the link buyer. In the past Google would just take away PR from link sellers, but not de-index them.
