Being in the industry for by 3 years I have seen many changes in the way SEs treat backlinks. Not so expanded ago the best way was to use spammy tactics which yielded good SERPS. Things have started to change recently with big G taking into history mostly relevant non-spammy urls from quality websites and changed its algorithm for good. that moment Google plans to declare war on paid hyperlinks (they have done it for some moment now). Matt Cutts asked citizens to report “websites known to buy links” so they can pop quiz their new algorithm. Now would be a great day to buy some urls for the competition and report them.

This additionally caused some heated arguments among the webmasters. Two questions here: whether they indeed launch it, how towering would it be before webmasters find the loopholes in it and start exploiting them just like they did before and the second one: will folks agree to be told by Google how they can run their websites?
