not a conspiracy -- if your entire startup is focused on essentially ensuring your pages are top of google results, and you're a killer networker like the Mahalo CEO, you'll ensure you have someone you can call and whine at if you suddenly get blacklisted.
You honestly believe Google would ever blacklist a prominent startup like Mahalo?
- mileszs 18y agoI wasn't offering a counter point or opinion. I don't "honestly believe" anything. I just wanted you to explain your reasoning, adding some more information to your comment. After first read, it sounded like a conspiracy theory. (I think if someone at Mahalo can call someone at Google and get special treatment, that qualifies as a conspiracy by definition.) I don't understand why Calacanis or Mahalo are important enough to warrant such special treatment, but I don't think I'm Mahalo's target audience. I've never visited the site. That's why I was interested in more information. Thanks!

I must honestly admit I have no idea who Mahalo is, and by reading this headline I automatically assumed it was a spam network. They might be well known and influential to you, but that doesn't automatically translate to the rest of the internet.
