		<description>I understand that Google is trying to protect their business but they aren&#039;t doing it by improving their product, they&#039;re doing it by trying to dictate what other websites do.

The other HUGE issue is what Google considers a paid link. Obviously if I say I&#039;ll pay you $$ per month for a link on your site that&#039;s a paid link. But what about if I offer you a service or good in exchange for that link? Maybe I will host your site for free in exchange for the link. Is that a paid link? What if you link out to your clients (which Google itself does in several different places)... is that paid? Obviously if they hadn&#039;t given you their business, you wouldn&#039;t be linking to them so that&#039;s a monetary motive behind the link. Are reciprocal links paid links? What about affiliate links?

My point is, Google is trying to dictate how people link to each other and that&#039;s messing with the very fabric of the internet. Sure you can do whatever you want and not be allowed in Google but with 65% of the searches in the US going through Google, is that really an option anymore? There is such a thing in the US as unfair business practices and IMO Google has crossed that line.</description>
