Report paid linking

[web 24 7]

I have been in touch with a lot of directory owners, free and paid.

Also blog network owners and many have lost PR and SERPs ranking.

I think it is simply from Googles new 'Report Paid Listings'

For those who report paid listings, DP is a gold mine for these rats.

Killing a persons business because Google says so is slimy.

I think the whole directories situation and blog network problems is as simple as that.

If you own a network hide the urls somehow or they will be next.

Interlinking paid directories have felt Googles 'big stick'

Free directories seem ok as they are mostly individual and not networked.

:O can ppl report paid listings???

omg.... r u saying ther is some kind of reward??

omg.... i gotta get in on this (jks LOLZ)

well I only have 1 paid directory and ATM its ranking extremely highly for a free web directory so hopefuly google wont see it as a paid one for a while.

I ahve a network of like 3 (yes count em) freee (yes freee ) directories. You said free directories mostly go unpunished.... will mine??? yes they have network links to each.

I think 3 in your network may get away with it and yes if they are free.

But some big paid directories have dozens all interlinked and owned by the same individuals.

I know some blog networks also got hit.

"if I were Matt Cutts, I'd just tell one of my quality control guys to go spend a few days trawling DP for directory domains"
