Google’s crusade again paid link and its unpopular penalty again web directories is a subject of one of the lively discussions at UK Webmaster World forum, among the exchanges one of the memebers, OWG sets out steps that could lead to a website being banned, the steps follows:

Google are getting really good at disguising how they handle sites selling paid links, and are quite happy to handle this manually as well in the following manner.

1. Someone (probably one of your competitors ) reports your site for selling links
2. Flag raised
3. Link map created for your site and cross referenced to other reported sites
4. Human visits site
5. Human applies Page rank flow block to site(s)
6. Pages drop like flies
7.? what next, what to do now?

You say it is easy to get PR if you are using your own sites, the danger of that is that Google are quite happy to bring down a network as they are to bring down a single site.
