  • Google has been cracking down on link networks like never before in recent months. That continues with a couple more announcements from head of webspam Matt Cutts.

    In January, Cutts said Google was taking action on French link network Buzzea. He also noted that Germany was on the list of places Google was looking at. Then, in February, Google put out its German blog post warning about paid links.
