Hi Everyone,

I saw this in an Australian paper today and thought it might be of interest, particularly if anyone has been punished by google for using artificial links or for people considering these tactics or anything similar.

The article describes how one small business almost got shut down completely after google decided to punish them for links created by an SEO company they hired to help with their site. It took a concerted effort to remove the links and get back in googles good books and they outline the steps they had to take.

Wishing everyone a great weekend :)
