My question is this, wouldn't those on Thunder-Ball.netB/LinkSpun.com be running the risk of this happen to them? If your domain(s) show up in the index on those sites, wouldn't Google (in theory) be able to simply go to the site and hammer everyone?
I am just curious is all. I have not used T-B in years, and with LinkSpun's launch as well as some research on different things, I thought it would be interesting to hear from the regular users of those service(s).

When I started visualizing
www.linkspun.com I tried to be considerate to the fact that if Google spam department, signed up and created an account, that they would walk away with nothing bad to say about the tool or its users.
I tried very hard to keep all links 'hand placed', and have no intentions of generating any type of include to add links or anything that leaves a footprint for that matter. They are solid links generated between niche relevant sites, between 2 webmasters who've agreed to add them. On the google scale of bad things you could do to harm your site, this isn't even a factor.
Also about profiles or domain lists, despite being asked by a few users already to have public profiles, I do not, and will not have them spiderable by any search engine, in fact they are all completely protected behind a linkspun login and will continue to be that way.
The main reason I built this tool is so that I can use it myself, and not have to worry in 4 years when google says "look what you were doing in 2008".
Barefootsies, I guess to sum it up best. You use a tool like linkspun or TB to expand your inbound link dynamics, to allow you to trade 4-5-6 ways (not just ab,abc or abcd) this is a 'footprintless' method if you use it properly. If i had to explain it with just sentence, it would probably be something like this "A link trading community/tool for adult webmasters to generate links, and then track them" (and the domains/sites involved).
I actually have a very indepth post coming just about this exact thing, but I can't spoil it
It will be posted on Monday.
