Google's Link Snitch Program IS Evil

I'm a Google fan, I admit it. Not just because they're the biggest kid in the sandbox, in fact that's a valid reason NOT to like them. I like Google because I get the most relevant search results when I use it.

The Google motto has always been "Do No Evil". That's cool. But I guess "evil" is a relative term.

If you are at all concerned with doing business with Google, be it organic listings, analytics accounts or AdWords, you've got to read this article: 7 Reasons Google's Paid Link Snitch Plan Sucks.

I agreed wholeheartedly with the rants of Rich Ord on this one, especially #3 and #6. I mean, c'mon, Google sells AdWord ads (paid links, in case you're living under a rock-hey is there room in there for me?) all day long, yet wants to devalue all other "paid" links. Huh. Sounds kinda evil to me...

What do you make of this?
