Wow, that's a very stiff penalty if they're not even turning up for their own brand name. It will likely cost them millions. It's a clear warning to all sites out there to avoid similar tactics.
- yogo 13y agoI feel for them. At the end of the day business is suffering. However, a high profile example of the consequences of using these myopic tactics is also good.
- donthe 13y agoThey're aren't currently monetizing their site at all, no ads, so how will it cost them millions? The VC's already know that the founders are a bunch of fruitcakes. I think they'll be right back where they left off after the penalty is lifted, probably in 30 days. When the same thing happens to other small websites than those websites are literally destroyed, no 30 day penalties, banned for life. Shut down your website and start again.
