Google hates affiliates, end of. They don't see affiliates as being of service to sponsors - they are too utopian and believe affiliates are evil. Offline equivalent is wiping out the entire salesman industry for being 'leeches'. Too many cunts at G now, when they were a SE they were fantastic. Now they are 'insert whatever the fuck they are, because I don't think anyone even knows', they are shit.

How's this for serps, after all the 'great work' they've done over the years, for someone trying to sell a phone in the Ripley area:

be more specific with 'sell my phone ripley':

Total and utter shit.

Sooner all their serps are full of shitty off topic results like this, and everyone switches, the better.
Even the traffic generated from the jokers registering all the splogs and initially seeding them would be significant. I recall people here and elsewhere speaking of creating thousands of blogs per day from different IPs. Multiply that by a 1,000 every daily for a year and it's pretty crazy. I have a couple sites which feel the effects of that crap too. On one smaller site I get over 8,000 spammers trying to register on it every month. It's a pain in the ass and a huge waste of resources. I can imagine how Google feels. Then they have to index it and deal with it on the search side as well. So they were funding and providing for their own hassles basically.

I totally agree about them hating affiliates. That's been known for years.
