Selling dofollow links and punishment for websites
Someone I know sold a dofollow link to someone for 300 bucks and got caught because he advertised it on a blog and someone who loves snitching to Google reported them. Google then punished him by giving his website a lower page rank. Do you think it is right to grease on others like this?
That is really sad knowing all of the tricks that go on involving millions of dollars of mishandled internet property that is used to gain advantage in the corporate internet world. I am surprised that Google even bothers to pick on small guys like that.

If we only produce content that people are searching for, will this lead to better quality content ? Will this lead to the growth of the knowledge base? How will new knowledge enter the mainstream if content is only developed to satisfy current demand?
