| Paid Blog Reviews: ReviewMe & PayPerPost
There are two recent threads that I found at forums I typically do not cover much on the topic of pay per post reviews. The posts are at HighRankings Forums and at SEO Refugee Forums. I am going to pull in all sources I know of, to give you the perspective of the search engines, advertiser, SEO and the blog writer. Search Engines View of Pay Per Post Reviews: Earlier this month, I reported at Search Engine Land on Pay Per Post Reviews Acceptable By Some Search Engines where I quote SEOMoz's coverage of a SES Chicago session. Specifically, Tim Converse from Yahoo starts off saying that "there would be no discount of link value for paid blog material." The rest of the search engines, including Google, represented by Adam Lasnik nodded their heads, according to Rand. Now, this was not just shocking to Rand, I was shocked by the response after Rand told me this on Thursday.

A report produced by PandaLabs in the third quarter of 2006 revealed that 72 percent of Internet threats were financially motivated. "Despite what people may think," explains Luis Corrons, director of PandaLabs, "the risk of virus infection is greater than ever.
Attorney General Abbott settles spyware lawsuit
AUSTIN - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today concluded a year-long investigation and legal action against Sony BMG Music Entertainment by obtaining an Agreed Final Judgment that provides restitution to consumers and brings sweeping reforms that will protect consumers nationwide. Texas was the first state in the nation to take legal action against the music giant after determining that Sony BMG released millions of compact discs containing harmful software that was not disclosed to consumers. Today's precedent-setting action prohibits Sony BMG from selling CDs containing XCP, MediaMax or any other content-protection software that hides or cloaks its software files. Sony BMG must also destroy any existing CDs embedded with XCP or MediaMax technology, continue working to withdraw those CDs from the marketplace, and submit to independent, third-party monitoring of any software-enhanced music CDs for the next five years.
