In that way, somehow, Google places itself in a position of a market monopolist. Anyway, thank you for this very useful post.

As for the comments, those steps were taken to ensure that no links to bad places make their way into this blog. An active blog can be hard to monitor that way, that's all.

Link text ads means including Adsense itself, why shall Google penalize her own advertising tools? I believe point (2) and (3) are due to spamming or irrelevant comments. Else I can't see why an active blog post with a lot of comments will jeopardize its standing in search engines. I am interested if you can explain the rationale behind these three actions?

Or do you mean something else? doesn't google adsense itself provide text link ads? what about things like for CJ products/advertisers -- is that also verboten now? I thought you could recommend something and send someone to a product without being penalized -- or is it actually the opposite? I.e, is google penalizing everyone who dares to be an affiliate for anyone/any program OTHER than google? sorry to be so dumb, but what do you mean by ‘text link ads’?

I should probably revert back to that model myself, which would triply ensure that no spammy comments make it in. It doesn't lend itself to extended, immediate discussions, though, which is why I've avoided it... but maybe that's not worth it anymore...

I love Google on many levels, and hate them on a few. But it's so hard to keep up with every little thing. I've never heard that leaving comments open on older posts is a bad thing. I have several do-follow blogs now and I have left them all wide open. Of course, this mean a lot of spam, but I'm living with it. I still don't let any junk get through since I'm set up for manual approval on everything. And I'm really uncomfortable selling text ads...unless they have the no-follow attribute in place. I won't be selling any new ads without that. However, I will admit that I still buy links now and again, in various forms. Why? When trying to get my second biggest site ranked (and this is truly an excellent site...if not the very best in the genre, then certainly in the top 5), I look at the top-ranked site for the top keyword phrase...and they have 11,100 backlinks according to Yahoo (564 according to G). There's NO WAY those 11K are organic backlinks. I have no chance of competing if I sit and wait for organic backlinks...although I do get a nice stream of them on an ongoing basis. I HATE having to spend time trying to get ranked instead of focusing on development of new content. But until the search engines get it together and find a way to rank sites based on merit instead of whatever manipulation critera gets around their filters...I will have to play the game to some degree as well. Maybe someday... Doesn’t seem fair, does it? I love Google on many levels, and hate them on a few. But it’s so hard to keep up with every little thing.
