        wonder if its the sign of a major crackdown on everyone. Or is it just to scare the shit out of all the small guys, by making an example of BMW?

                    "We never comment on the specifics of individual cases but we would stress that the quality of our index and search results is of the utmost importance to Google"

                    Quality? What quality - they remove BMW for having doorways (which in actual fact may have NOTHING TO DO WITH GOOGLE) - then they say they show "quality".

                    Google = Crap - and watch your shares.

                          "He added the company was in talks with Google and he was confident the site would be reinstated. He said 0.4 percent of traffic to the BMW.de Web site came through Google."

                          I hardly think BMW should give a flying fuck what a search engine like google think about their site?

                          I certainly wouldnt be bothered, if I owned BMW, if google fucked the site or kept it on. Google could fuck off basically - BMW will be around long after google has fucked off.

                                        Why is everyone so shocked? If BMW really tried to swamp the net with doorway pages, they had it coming. It's not the first site banned for doorways, you know. Happens to me all the time, guess that is not newsworthy.

                                            The point I was trying to make is that BMW should stop crying and people should stop saying how Google's lost its way and shit. You fuck around with the index, you get canned, sooner or later.

                                              with all due respect, i HIGHLY doubt BMW has anything to cry about

                                                            hundreds of millions in profits ... sounds like they've really lost their way...

                                                              in a related news article, bmw said that only 0.4% of their traffic comes from search, most of it is type ins

                                                              I doubt they're hurting, except maybe embarassment. bmw will remove the pages, and google will let them back in. simple as that
