You would have them be "penalized up the wazoo" because they didn't apologize in the way you would have preferred? Talk about being unreasonably punitive. I would hope that making an example out of somebody is not a formal strategy in search engine ranking. Instead, be rational and penalize them in proportion to the degree to which they cheat, just like everyone else.
- davemel37 13y agoNo, I would penalize them for building spammy backlinks the same way Google penalized their own chrome site. The apology seems to indicate that they only think they did something grayhatish. In reality it was the worst kind of link spam...buying links.
- obstacle1 13y agoI didn't see any inference from OP that because of this apology the site should be penalized. Perhaps OP thinks that the extremely shady spam tactics the site clearly uses in themselves deserve penalization up the wazoo.
