our unethical practices

Good thing you also admit.:-) Do you think Google didn’t make any manipulation to PageRank when one of their great competitor (Yahoo!) has fallen into PR9 when I noticed it since that it has a PR of 10? Have you observed it also?
Btw, thanks to your effort in explaining me about misspelling.

Even big companies, like BMW (!) can be excluded from search results due to using unethical means. Also, there are legal precedents for punishing black SEO firms, e.g. recently a Washington based SEO company (Internet Advancement) was to pay more than $118,000 in civil penalty. BUT: there are no industry-wide standards yet, only intentions. :) Hi Jan,
