Comments on: Google Doesn’t Hate ALL Paid Links, Just Yours http://www.ginside.com/2008/1803/paid-links/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=paid-links Sat, 10 Dec 2011 14:16:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joseph Hunkins http://www.ginside.com/2008/1803/paid-links/#comment-614 Joseph Hunkins Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:14:40 +0000 http://www.ginside.com/?p=1803#comment-614 Jonathan what I have noted when big sites use paid links is that Google may keep ranking the site well but won't allow the paid links to pass any rank along. ie the algo slaps a "nofollow" on all the site links. Although I don't think they are consistent enough with this it's basically the right idea. Google's inconsistency creates a lot frustration that I believe they could reduce with a more transparent statements about *how they handle links* rather than *how they want me to handle links*.
