Here's the corresponding tweet from Matt Cutts, Head of Webspam at Google: <a href="https://twitter.com/mattcutts/status/337586357822169088" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/mattcutts/status/337586357822169088</a><p>This looks so open to abuse and manipulation. An anonymous form where anyone can drop any link?<p>Is this Google - Showing face, trying to make people feel involved in their algorithm - Pattern matching submissions against their own computed ideas of what is and isn't spam - Genuinely looking for data, and this is the best thing they could come up with?<p>Google rolled out 'Penguin 2.0' today (<a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/penguin-2-0-rolled-out-today/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/penguin-2-0-rolled-out-today/</a>), an algo update to target websites with manipulative link profiles.
