Do you guys believe this? I was chatting with my friend a couple of minutes ago asking what the deal is. He believes that they are shown as "deindexed" because obviously BMR is high on the radar at the moment. And so its protecting the posts/backlinks from Google. Similar to ArticleRanks. We never see where the backlinks are going, but the sites are ranking up.

What do you guys think?

Sorry mate but your point of view here is seriously flawed. We are not talking about BMR showing posts as not indexed inside the dashboard. When you make a search in quotes of any sentence you sent to BMR you will see that no results turn up. Means all of them are deindexed.

If, on the other hand, BMR did this themselves somehow (which is very, very, very unlikely), how is it different than posts getting deindexed? Sadly, seems the game is really over for BMR...

First of all, it's not MY point of view. I said from a friend.

Second of all, he's talking about the ones in quotes where you type in Google.

Link schemes - Webmaster Tools Help

"However, some webmasters engage in link exchange schemes and build partner pages exclusively for the sake of cross-linking, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. This is in violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines and can negatively impact your site's ranking in search results. Examples of link schemes can include:

Links intended to manipulate PageRank
Links to web spammers or bad neighborhoods on the web
Excessive reciprocal links or excessive link exchanging ("Link to me and I'll link to you.")
Buying or selling links that pass PageRank"

What does BMR stand for? It's not really surprising is it? Especially given what happened with other things such as ALN.

We've been saying it for weeks now - Private Blog Networks like BMR are in trouble.

The problem is they are not 'Private' at all and the quality just isn't good enough to pass as natural links on natural blogs.

Mr Paul, all ya do is a back link check and find many of them, also, you know your blog content, grab 2-3 lines of it, and in Google put "content" and search, if you can't find it, ya been ripped off buddy and you deserve it buying links, KARMA.

Ha, no, they are always trying to "do something", but I agree it's a bit surprising they hadn't targeted KNOWN services like BMR that were also well known to WORK.

Part of it is I think that they do not like to go manually looking for networks to hit (other than as warning shots, which this may well be), they prefer to improve their algorithms to the point where they can recognise "real" links and discount "gamed" links totally algorithmically, or with the minimum of human intervention. Otherwise it's just not scalable for them, it's like a game of Bash the Mole, new networks pop up too quickly to deal with.

Thanks. That might be a good option for anyone who's rankings tanked. Opt out of there and see if you get lucky on the next update.

I checked my friends BMR account (he posted 900 times between October and December.) All wiped out. What a thorough destruction this really is.

  Google wouldn't deindex your site but they will penalize it as has been the case with many over the last month.
  
  DEindexing is the most drastic action that Google will take and for it to happen you going to have to be engaging in some really dodgy tactics.

  IMHO, the damage would be done already. Sure, as a general rules all rats should probably flee the ship. However, if you're not exactly sure what will happen to your rankings, think twice.
  
  The might still be counting Yahoo/Bing for example.
  
  I think it's safe to say links from de-indexed domains won't HELP anyone in Google. They might even be poisoned. Worse, if all of your links are from 'poisoned de-indexed blogs' I'd probably pull them real fast and say a quick prayer to Mercury (aka Thoth, the God of written words and search engines)
  
  It might be enough to save you.

I agree with Markowe about BMR been a victim of their own success. Just a few weeks ago every second thread (exageration) was about BMR. Very difficult for any network to stay under the radar when the biggest IM forum in the world is plasting their name everywhere.

I don't think it is the end of blog networks though! I'm using a network right now that is built similar to BMR but because they are under the radar they have not been affected by Google's wrath.

I've haven't liked relying on a single network or backlinking method for some time, I found it dodgy that people were basing their SEO strategy on BMR alone, though I must admit, I didn't think they would get hammered this badly. It's not enough for a service just to "work", it's got to STAY "working".

For easy keywords I just mix up random services, simple as that, never use the same BL profile twice. I had a similar thing happen before - I had some rankings that were largely got using AMR and they all dipped, some of them disastrously, in the October Panda. Course, I can't know for sure it was the AMR links got devalued, but I ain't risking that happening again anyway.

That's the thing people don't understand... diversity is key! It's easy to fall into the trap of sticking with what works but unfortunately that logic doesn't align with SEO... you need to stick with various proven methods not just one!

Strange thing is: before blog networks became all the rave I relied heavily on Web2.0 properties because they worked and what is strange about it is that this technique hasn't died... it is still as effective as it was a couple years ago.

The problem with software programs like AMR is that the directories don't last, many are deindexed, and this could be the reason for your loss in rankings. But as with most things SEO, we can only speculate.

More than the fault of saturation, which left more tracks, is that the sites on their networks simply do not look like a website the casual web surfer comes across. This is why competitors can easily point them out, notify Google, and get them de-indexed.

Same here, I cancelled my account about 2 weeks before they closed off new members. Too much publicity is never good for these types of networks.

What sucks even worse is that I have multiple partners that poured, literally, $10k+ on outsourcing bmr posts. All that time, effort and money just got flushed right down the drain. How sad

I've kept a fairly diverse link profile and I've used BMR sparingly but I still wonder if there is going to be penalties to come. I love my little niche site portfolio but I for one am DEFINITELY moving away from this model and into something far more sustainable.

Good of BMR to address it and quickly. I know there were a ton of rumors recently, but I'd checked as recently as 4 days ago and our BMR posts were still there, indexed, etc. Not the case today.

I wish I had seen this post before I wrote 15 posts this morning. You would have thought they would have disabled the posting feature on the site.

So, Now what? Any suggestions?

Hey guys, sadly I have to report this is not a rumor. Just put up a blog post, but it appears that Google has wiped out a large portion of our network the last two days. We still have many sites left, but not nearly enough to support ongoing demand.

BuildMyRank.com – Link Building Service Featuring High Quality One-Way Backlinks » It’s Been a Great Run!!

Right now we're going to close up, and figure out our next steps, and let clearer heads prevail. Still think there's an opportunity to pivot, and turn BMR into a higher quality, more focused offering. But this cannot be done overnight for sure, and will take some time.

Thanks

Ok guys really important questions (would love your opinions):

I have a high quality website: Custom Theme/Images (Thnx to my prof. photog gf), High quality (typo-free) original engaging material, over 100 pages.

I must admit I relied heavily on BMR for the past 6 months, and in a way I knew it would probably hurt me in the end, but analyzing the backlinks of the top 20 search results (my competition), I noticed they were doing very similar things so I figured if one goes down, we all go down.

Where I was hoping to beat them was with a good site, something many of them were choosing not to do.

I received the unnatural links in webmasters tools I believe 2 days ago. I've read a lot of responses on how to approach this.

One thread on the black hat forum said to not respond (ignore it, doing otherwise was a death-trap).

Others have said to remove all links as they said and respond for reconsideration.

My question to everyone is (in your opinions):

Should I start removing the 1000's of BMR posts and when I'm done immediately file for reconsideration, or should I remove them wait a few days and then file.

Or should I just go about my business, don't respond to the message, start guest posting to build natural real links and leave it be.

Thanks

Hello,

So you got the message, and probably site is ranking as it used to,

It takes about 2 weeks to see the 'effect' of penalty,

Now that the network has been deindexed you can ask reconsideration, like "more than half of backlinks are deleted now" - something like this.

They'll reply within 3-4 business days,
I thought they'd reply after about a month or so (they've sent thousands of "unnatural links found" notification messages) but it was surprise to see their reply after 3 days.

Now that the links are removed from their index, ask for reconsideration.

Ignoring the message won't solve anything and the rankings will start falling after 2-4 weeks.

I'd also like to know if removing the posts is a good idea. Will the content be seen as duplicate if it is re-purposed? It seems the best thing to do (to salvage all our money and time) is to combine posts and submit them to article directories, right?

You can always take a part of the article you submitted to BMR, put it in quotes and copy/paste in google...So if I know this, those responsible for de-indexing BMR know as well.

Whether that feature was there or not, it was easy to find the sites. Since the articles were unique content, all you had to do was pick a paragraph from an article and search for it.

? Just so a blind mans see's clearly in the rain - instead of people using bmr or similar services they should now all turn to the manipulation of social media ? and as such those fiver gigs giving out xyz likes or yzz tweets should now be starting do a a roaring trade as social media becomes the new black.

One of my sites I used BMR for some of the links. I got the notice on the 18th from G about notice of detected unnatural links. Do I go ahead and delete the links off BRM and do the reconsideration request? The funny thing is only one KW dropped a lot and only dropped from 17 to 30. And since has climbed back up to 27. I am not sure what to do. Thanks for any info.

If you can give yourself one good reason to keep them , you can keep them,its time to move on to better things, you are a prolific writer, you can find blogs related to niche you are in and start submitting content to them if they allow or add the same useful content to your site and make it a small information hub on the topic that the site is based on and see the authority you get , ofcourse it will take some time as it will be a white hat method ..

I did not rely solely on BMR. I have over 10K Links and around 350 are from BMR. The question I have is, will my rankings drop in the coming weeks or is this it? I am proabby going to delete the BMR links just to be done with it. The other part is do I do a reconsideration request? From what I can tell if my rankings are done dropping I am OK with where I am. But if in the coming weeks they drop even more I do not know.

What about all the "unethical" WSO's and Warrior for Hire services you have bought here? Are they next on your radar?

You have tried to game the system as much as anyone. It's easy to follow your past posts and see that.

I am not defending BMR. I could care less that they are gone. I just think you are a hypocrite.

And of course, he won't reply to this post because that is what he does every time someone points out his hypocrisy.

If you do not rely solely on BMR then you will not be affected very badly, the sites that will be hit most hard are the one's that had achieved high rankings with BMR links predominantly , if you used other links along with BMR you will still get affected but will have a chance to bounce back.... no point in sending reconsideration requests thousands will be doing so , know very well they took a short cut to higher serps, google will never accept them...

Well, let's hope. I hate when people start throwing around claims like "all sites participating in blog networks will be de-indexed" ... so that makes me nervous.

I really don't think there will be a specific penalty, many legit businesses have hired what they thought were legitimate SEO companies (who used BMR, to whatever extent) to promote their site. I think it'd be wrong to penalize a business owner like that. But who knows...

Rather, they SHOULD suffer from lower rankings because of all the links and link juice that they would lose.

Give us a few days to get everything organized and we'll be refunding unused payments for subscriptions and post credits. So if you got billed today of course you would get the full refund.

Any idea when the download feature is coming for all the posts? Some of us have received the unnatural links in webmaster tools, and for those of us that have legit websites that want to get back in googles good graces will most likely have to go the path of deleting all BMR posts and submitting a request to them.

Thanks

Just noticed I got a message 2 days ago on one of my aged domains I worked real hard on and built various links to it but from BMR as well....the message was of-course on webmaster tools about unnatural links detected....

So sad, what now? Will this site as well as other sites I've built hard over the years will fall down the serps and suffer?

Any ideas guys?

BMR was one of my techniques but a lot of links were built using this service to a lot of my sites....

So what's the final word on deleting all the links or not from my BMR account? Should we at first try to download all the posts or something before doing this?

Any help?

Thanks

Well the question is when is the download coming, I will probably go the route of deleting all the posts, but I want to get back on the right track especially when I have a quality website that is a hell of a lot better than the garbage at the top of the serps now.

So we can go ahead and delete all those, but still be able to have access to your posts though when the tool is available to download correct?

No I wouldn't delete them yet unless you want to risk losing all the material written. Thats why I'm asking about when the download feature is coming in my post above.

Well let it be a lesson for the future, not always wise to take that knee-jerk response. The Seo community is being rattled a little bit, and people are jumping ship and panicking.

Hopefully this will all be settled later down the line, but based on everything I'm reading it looks like deep pockets are going to win in the end as long as emphasis is put on backlinks.

People can easily buy guest posts on renowned blogs, and stick in googles good graces.

Well the deletion part is no big deal since I have backups of all my posts and since none are indexed anymore it is no use whether I deleted them or not.

Guys you can log into your accounts now, and you'll see a link on the dashboard (Export My Posts), just above the system messages. This will create a zip file with 1 csv file for each domain. Fields included are date_published (if the post was published), title and body (html).

Hoping to get thru all of the refunds in the next 3-4 days. Each of these is having to be processed manually, so it takes time. Once pro-rated subscr payment refunds are issued, then we'll start work on issuing refunds for unused outsource credits.

As much as I don't like things like BRM, and I don't hide that at all, I consider it close to blackhat. I must say I am impressed that BMR are going down this path with the refunds when Google caught up with them. They are to be respected for this as individuals in my opinion

A few of your posts were deleted because you're being abusive. Not because someone else didn't like the opinions behind them.

So anyone know what sort of drop we can expect from not having these BMR links now? I know it's though to give an answer to this, but if we only did like 40-50 posts per url will that impact us as much if each one had like 200+ posts and was the major portion of your backlinking?

Would it be a good idea to start implementing other things during this type to counteract this drop that will be seeing in a few weeks possibly?

Note - I am trying to get in touch with some legal guys to teach the BMR people a lesson they will remember, this is definitely not the end of story , they simply cannot shut shop and run away, they will be held accountable ....

Can somebody please find this clown a circus. Is he for real?

They are not shutting up shop and running away. They are offering a pro-rated refund and in legal terms have actually done nothing wrong.

The only rules they have broken are those of Google's.

It is the equivalent of your local shop closing down and going out of business and then you wanting to sue them for it because they misled you by offering a service.

People that have used BMR were paying for a monthly service, which they got at the time. Now that the service is no longer available they will not be charged for it.

That does make me wonder...

Google appears to have spent some effort in taking down BMR and other networks. If backlinks are losing their importance in the ranking algorithms, as some are saying, then why bother with taking these networks down at all? Just let them lose their effectiveness over time as the power of backlinks diminish. Hmm...

Of course backlinks aren't losing their importance. Although I believe that most types of backlinks will soon be irrelevant, as I think Google is trying to build a smarter algorithm to rank sites for these three factors alone:

1. Great content (I know right, not an easy thing to do).
2. Authority backlinks (blog links are some of the highest quality backlinks on the internet).
3. Social (they won't let this one go).

This is pretty evident so far - they have devalued most other link types, but they didn't want to devalue blog links. Blogs are good, because blogs are media. I believe that blogging is only going to become more popular as time goes, and so does Google. This is exactly why they bothered putting together a "task force" of sorts to take out the trash.

Great content (and lots of it) is really kicking in at the moment. I've always said in my posts - build easy to navigate, highly informative websites. If you're in any of the many info niches out there - you need a lot of high quality content on your sites to rank good. I have sites with **** load of content and merely 10 high quality backlinks ranking on page one for numerous keywords right now (5k+ exact US search terms) and I don't even use EMD domains.

.... build good sites, build niche blog networks to support those sites, make monies.

I was busy before, and didn't want to spend the time right then giving this "cheekugames" twit a proper answer. It really won't make any difference to him, but it may serve as a useful example of the ludicrousness of the conspiracy theory mindset.

This dude has 14 posts still available on this topic at this point, in this thread alone. Going back to February 11, all 21 of his posts are blasting BMR. He's clearly got his cause on.

I deleted a couple of over the top insults, and asked him to make his points in a more civil way. Somehow, he managed to read that as defense of what most long-term members will know is a practice I dislike, and consider to be active deception: The manipulation of SERPs by artificial means.

The conspiracy mindset is apparent in the suggestion that I'm getting paid off by whoever owns BMR to support them here. He has to believe something like that, because admitting that I might have deleted his posts because he was being a jerk isn't something he can even consider.

The presence of all those other posts, or the comments from other people who consider these types of systems abusive, doesn't register. It's just ... [blank].

This is what obsession does to you, folks.

For those of you that aren't familiar with cheekugames, here are some facts (instead of wild assertions).

cheekugames has constantly accused BMR of "unethical practices" and "malpractice".

Yet, despite repeated requests, he has never stated what these alleged malpractices are.

It's obvious that cheekugames thinks that by using BMR, you were gaming the system. Well, yes that's true to a degree, but the BIG rub is that cheekugames then uses just about every spammy backlinking method for his own website. That makes him a hypocrite of the highest order.

Additionally, his YouTube channel contains copyrighted material (please provide proof that you gained permission to post the movie clips and I'll retract that statement).

Cheekugames, if you want to be consistent with your campaign, then make sure you report your site to Google for unethical practices.

Sad to see BMR closing, it was good while it lasted and actually had some decent content on some of the blogs as I picked up some great niche ideas from just checking my own posts.

Of course we should all be using various techniques to get our sites ranked...just a painful reminder !

Well...this is a sad day for me.

I have a keyword that was for almost a year #3 on Google, an aged domain.

After Panda 3.3 update it got down to #14 or so....

After BMR yesterday, I so the unnatural links message on webmaster tools for

this site and now this keyword is #600!

Think I'll still be able to get it back?

The sad thing is that I used all my sites on BMR, sites that made me money

and now they'll get destroyed on the SERPS....

Ideas?

Thanks guys...

Here you are quoting rankings in Google, feeling sad for your self, while delibratly going against Googles rules.
How about you go quote rankings on a Search Engine that allows fake bought back links.

I'm not accusing anyone, yes I feel sorry for my sites and hard work...as if Google is any saint, give me a break.

People here started a thread, sharing their feelings, ideas and so on and you come here to what? Throw slat on injury?

Everyone here will rise again, I'll get back building links like I always have and all of them were white hat except BMR so don't come here and play a preacher. I take full responsibilities for my actions, all I did was sharing my hurt that after hard work now it's gone.

The lesson by the way is that in order to build a successful business, Google needs to be only part of your arsenal and you cannot rely on one source for traffic, never. So, back to the drawing board.

Rinor, I'm really sorry to hear this. My sites will probably fall soon because I used BMR on them. It's a real shame and a waste of six months of work. I haven't got any notices from Google, but I don't have GWTs for my site. So I don't know if they have targeted my site yet or not, but I'm sure that they have.

I wonder how many individual websites will lose rankings because of the blog networks. I bet BMR was used on thousands of sites.

Hey JeanneLynn, sorry my inbox is full (not a war member haha!), but yeah

. I woke up this morning and my friend told me that BMR is no longer available. One of the saddest news I've heard in a long time.

Nevertheless, we just got to stay positive and understand that this is a business. We'll come back up again, and better than before. It's just unfortunate for all the time that we've devoted into BMR. I remember when I got it a month ago, I would be at the office until 2 am on the weekends just posting on BMR. Thankfully my sites are still up, but I'm sure they will be caught soon. I better start making some backlinks from web 2.0 and some other way.

Thanks

Hey Jeanne Lynn,

Thank you...

What sad for me is that I am talking about sites I've worked hard for years building and I used not only BMR to promote it but other natural links over the years as well....but enough that Google caught you once building this way and he forgets the other link diversity you have over the years....what can we do?

I guess that's a lesson to us all, maybe sites which are more important for us just work hard and build links "naturally" if you know what I mean, white hat. Google is getting smarter each time and we always walk a thin line with these service which worked great for me by the way.....up until they get caught and my site is diminished.

You think it's still possible to get the keywords back from #600 with link building over time?

Thank you.

Thanks

Maybe Google hasn't caught all sites yet....so I guess there's no harm trying to delete them.

I've asked for deletion, so far got a warning for Google on 2 sites but am afraid the others are on the way....unless Google hasn't caught them yet and they'll get deleted in time...who knows?

Not a silly question at all... there is no point deleting the posts now as Google already have the record of the OBLs on these deindexed sites but people are afraid now and many will receive a Google love letter telling them that they are engaging in artificial link building. Google will go on to tell them to remove all artificial links and file a reconsideration since many of these sites will also be penalized.

It is the fear factor that is at work now!

Update on legal action against BMR owners - I have had a discussion with a lawyer who deals with internet related laws and she has suggested that there is a solid case against BMR, if we can explain the court that such manipulation of Search engine could lead to racist and neo nazi content being promoted as BMR had put together a network of blogs where by they could put any links and promote them in search engines, this was an extremely serious situation though google has taken action but the consequences of such a malpractice could have resulted in potential unrest and social disharmony, thus BMR will be tried for some serious internet crimes for putting together a network solely withe purpose of trying to promote links artificially and that these links could have been any type of links ...........

It's amazing the length to which some people will lie on the internet to make themselves seem important. You didn't contact any lawyers and no lawyer told you there was a case. What specific "internet laws" did BMR break? I know you won't answer this question because you can't. Racist? neo nazi? you must either be a child or a very uneducated member of a third world country...or both. But I digress. I actually pity you, you started this whole tirade because BMR rejected your website from their network...and I have to say they did so for good reason.

I got hit a 4 weeks ago on one site and got the wmt's warning on another 2 yesterday. Ah well it was good while it lasted and we made a good amount of money from our rankings.

The question is is it best to delete the links and tell G they have been deleted and ask for reconsideration or just wait for them to drop naturally, the first site that got hit dropped from #2 to #26 on a competitive keyword. BMR wasn't the only link building we did but it was a good percentage (30% - 40%).

Sam here.

Have a site which is up for 2.5-3 years, was on #3 for a long time, went down to #14 after panda 3.3 and with BMR now it's #600...

BMR was only one part of the link building process to it but I guess it was enough to "kill" it. Will file a re-consideration maybe in a few weeks when things cool off a little bit and keep building links again to it....see how it goes.

I have been absorbing a lot of information since yesterday from various blogs, forums, and other online communities on what is going on.

First a little background on what happened to me:

I had a website that was on page 1 for keywords that had 90,000 & 12,000+ searches a month along with 100's of long tail keywords.

Relying heavily on BMR was the easy approach and it did have its rewards, it helped my websites make money. I took that money and invested it back into my main site, more content, created an original design, (hell, I was even sick of other competitors using the same stock photography as me, so I had my photographer gf get two models to be on the new front of my website (photos I knew if I saw anywhere else would be getting a take down notice from me since we own the full rights).

I've been through a lot of ups and downs, adsense disabled, unnatural links notice, and now the deindexing of a huge backlink component of my websites.

So what does this all mean:

For those that are panicking and jumping off the ship (metaphorically), you really need to ask yourselves if you truly know how to handle failure.

Failure is a necessary evil, and it can be a very tough road to the top. As of now its unclear what googles true intentions are with these changes, here are the possible scenarios:

1. Google truly wants to clean up their search engine and produce results with white hat methods only (how this is going to be possible boggles my mind since now I hear people preaching about owning your own private network aka still gaming the system).

Or

2. Google wants to set itself up for people that truly want to traffic to go through adwords, and they want to make it much much harder for the poor man to have a fighting chance.

Think about it, if you have the budget, you can buy anything in the world, entry to a network, social media followers, a guest post on a well-known blog, the idea of the system never being gamed is a joke since quality content is subjective.

So if this is the case, (one of the theories) is that if you're just starting out your going to need a great amount of money to start to compete, buying into google, buying your guest posts, etc., which means people that made a good amount of money from gaming the system over the previous years won't have trouble adapting as well as wealthier people beginning to enter the game.

I also see a lot of people freaking out on what to do due to the webmasters notice of unnatural links. I've seen well-known bloggers say they are not going to respond to google at all and not remove any links, while others have said to remove links and contact google either taking full responsibility or blaming competitors or an SEO company you hired (whether you did or not).

THE SOLUTION:

So despite all the theories out there, I believe the best approach is requesting to remove the links from BMR (I just did), contacting google, make sure the links are almost gone first, being upfront about what you did, and watching what happens.

For those of us that have truly quality websites, we may face a penalty for awhile (I know it sucks), but I doubt google will keep us out for long.

Great post, thank for sharing!

I also asked from BMR today to remove my links...question is what will happen first? Will they remove the links or Google get to the site first and de-index it. Fingers crossed.

It's a shame really but I guess it's a lesson learnt, let's keep building links and with time hopefully restore our sites rankings and trust.

It is a good lesson for all of us.

We should never waste our time anymore on private network. It very easy for the Google to identify and deindex the private networks overnight as there is clear footprint all the way.

Soon all other bigger private networks will also get deindexed.

It is much safer to use the public blog networks & Web.2.0 links.

You guys know that message that Google has sent to almost a million webmasters over the last couple of months? That is how Google tracked down BMR. That message was just a scare tactic, many people reported receiving it for sites that they hadn't even built backlinks to yet. Many people responded to that message by telling Google that they used BMR (or other blog networks) to build links, Google looked into their link profile and that is how they tracked down BMR sites. Pretty sneaky trick if you ask me...

I have been using BMR for 8 of my clients and have gotten good results from it. While I am sad about Uncle 'G's action on BMR's network, I wish all the folks at BMR well and will continue to support you all for newer initiatives in the future.

PS: I'm not sure about deleting the previously indexed posts simply because it's kinda tedious and I felt it's harmless to leave them there since G already knows those sites and warn all wm's out there lol.

The key to all these Blog Networks being successful is keeping them small and tight. If they get to large and the masses use the same networks and backlinks on all their sites Google will recognize this and destroy it.

What we all have to understand that Google hates people like us that can do what we wish with their search engine. Matt Cutts even admitted it himself that their main goal is to get rid of people that "abuse" the search engine.

By the way Google just announced that they are going to start penalizing websites that are over optimized.
