PrisonPlanet.com owner caught search engine spamming

Quote:
The article at prisonplanet.com states "To stress again, this is three days after we broke this massive story." The first mention of this I saw in Google News was March 22. It's March 23 now. But let's assume that prisonplanet.com had coverage up three days ago. Google doesn't find the urls this site wants for three days and therefore it must be a cover-up and/or censoring? Anyone who knows about Google knows that different data centers get different data at different times, especially during Bigdaddy.

Later in the article, prisonplanet.com states:

Google has banned its users inside the US and the rest of the world from accessing the Space War website from its search engine. Space War speculated at the time that this was at the behest of the "boys from Beijing."

Begin sarcasm: yeah, prisonplanet.com. That must be it. I'm sure it had nothing to do with hosted doorway pages like

spacewar.com/dsw_shoes.html
spacewar.com/dvd_players.html
spacewar.com/heloc.html
spacewar.com/payday_loans.html
spacewar.com/portable_dvd_players.html
spacewar.com/tatoos.html
spacewar.com/the_free_ringtones.html
spacewar.com/the_payday_loans.html
spacewar.com/the_verizon_ringtones.html
spacewar.com/verizon_ringtones.html
on the site.

Heck, there's still hosted doorway pages live at other sites by the same guy, like
http://www.terradaily.com/bed_room_furniture.html
and
http://www.spacedaily.com/Myspace_editor.html

But no. I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.

Okay, end sarcasm.

I have nothing personally against prisonplanet.com (I've never heard of them before), but when you don't see a url get crawled for 3-4 days, it doesn't mean that a search engine is trying to oppress you.
