A look at the much publicised case of gourmetgiftbasket.com and why Google looks to punish sites with ranking penalties for buying paid links.

Google hates paid links. Epitomising PageRank manipulation, it allows sites to gain an unfair advantage in their rankings. This in turn can skew results and lead to algorithmic confusion – not good for a search engine’s reputation.

Therefore when they find out a site has been buying up links, they tend to come down pretty hard on them. Just ask Ryan Abood.

Owner of gourmetgiftbasket.com, Mr. Abood discovered first hand just how serious a ranking penalty can be. His site disappeared from the pages of Google overnight, costing his business an estimated $4 million [see: How Google Cost Me $4 Million].

Facebook Like: Or, How to Spam the Socialsphere

Where there’s traffic and visibility to be earned, spammers aren’t far behind. Here’s a look at the growing problem of Facebook ‘Like buying’.

Social media is a catalyst for conversation. It enables user-moderation and the viral spread of popular online content. It is quick, cheap and effective. As a consequence, people are willing to exploit it.

Facebook Like was developed to provide users with the opportunity to share interesting links with their friends. Just like the Twitter re-tweet, Digg and Sphinn – to name just a few – before it, this opened the doors for opportunists and spammers. Facebook essentially enabled what the search engines have been fighting, unmediated link sharing.

Rarely content with the status quo, Google have been making some rather eye-catching changes to the way in which AdWords advertising is presented on its SERPs in recent weeks.

I’m not just talking about the subtle transition over to a pale lilac hue for the top results, but the options available within the results themselves. We’ve seen a number of new elements appear and doubtless there will be more to come.

Let’s take a look at few of the more eye-catching updates.
