[QUOTE="MikeCF, post: 583664, member: 1914"] Yes, it happened to a friend of mine. He is in the sex business. His site is still up. The Google penalty lasted a year. Again, his site is still operational and he made plenty of money off of his site despite the penalty. Why is anyone going to pay for 100K backlinks to take out a site? That is the shadiest of practices and is reserved for the dirty stuff on the interest - porn, ED drugs, car insurance, payday loans, and other shit. If you want to bring up fear, people could hack your site, DDOS, steal your domain, and do all sorts of attacks. All of those activities are federal crimes, and unless there is real money involved, people are not going to engage in that criminality. In fact, someone with a personal vendetta would be more likely to break the law to harm your site than a business competitor. How often does that stuff happen to regular guys doing their thing on the Internet? [/QUOTE]
