Google Bombing is Back - Yeah Baby Yeah!
Have you heard how Google is stomping crushing those poor widdle people who had sponsored posts?
There’s enough that has already been said about this topic. It’s really been beaten to death and honestly I don’t give a &*((#@ what Google thinks about paid links nor am I too worried about PageRank.
That’s me tho - there are people out there who depend on getting some income from their blogs.
Unfortunately for them, GoogleBombing is back and it’s now easier than ever for blogs…
P.P.S. Donna, I’m guessing your disclaimer might have been an issue; you still say “This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation… The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog…”
I’d check if the disclosure policy you have is accurate at this point.
That’s a comment from Matt Cutts about Donna’s blog that I linked to above.
Feel free to copy/paste the parts between quotes to put in comments on those you want to GoogleBomb your competitors.
G-Man
P.S. Yes, I know the term GoogleBombing isn’t quite accurate here but it works well enough for me 
P.P.S. It appears that it may have been a manual ban because Donna is a spammer - LOL. She has paid links therefore she must be a spammer - OMG! Seriously tho, I figure there is something in the algorithm that works like I described above so there’s a way to get your competitors penalized now.

I actually make an image of my disclosure policies. That way the text is not picked up by the big G. I still got penalized. Go figure.

My guess is that you are linking to Associated Content without a nofollow.
Also, there is some text on the blog that could be assoicated with paid blogging.
Making an image is a great idea tho. The only thing that will hurt with that is if you had a manual review.
