Google To Bring It On German Link Spammers

Google To Bring It On German Link Spammers

 Yesterday, Google posted a stern warning on the German Google Webmaster blog telling webmasters that you will be penalized for unnatural links.



Matt Cutts then Tweeted
the same warning saying "A reminder (in German) that paid links that
pass PageRank violate our guidelines." This comes the week after Google
took action on a French link network, where Matt also dropped a hint on German link networks getting hit as well.



The
question is when will German SEOs take notice of this? Which networks
will this impact exactly? How much of an impact will this have on
SEOs?



Former Googler, Pedro Dias tweeted
that he thinks this is going to target "German Newspapers that sell
links." But I am hearing from others that these are much larger than
just newspapers, but massive link networks in Germany.



Anyway, as I said before, Google likes to issue warning after warning and then issue notices and then ranking impacts - why? To break their spirits.
