Interesting…seems like this whole paid link debacle may be the straw that broke the camel’s back for many search marketers. I listened to the Strike Point podcast on the way into work this morning and it sounds like Dave Naylor, a well known and well funded SEO, is completely fed up with Google’s increasingly arrogant behavior. Also, on this week’s Daily Searchcast it sounded like Danny Sullivan wasn’t too big of a Google lover at this point either.

Thankfully, Danny took the time to write an explanation of why he thinks Google is overstepping their bounds with their new posture on paid links. Since Danny serves as a semi-independent and impartial voice for the search engines and search marketers, my hope is that his pleas for an end to the paid link witch hunt will be heard by the big G (fingers crossed).

Time will tell, but Danny’s full post is worth a read and certainly a step in the right direction.

Enjoy your weekend.
