There's some difference between what Google says and what it actually does.
Although Google hires people to check pages manually, inevitably this covers only a miniscule proportion of web pages online. Google uses the results of this manual research when it tinkers with its page ranking algorithms.
If you're an optimist, you may regard some of what Google says publicly as wishful thinking. If you're a pessimist (or perhaps a realist) you may take what Google says as a useful warning of things which are likely to happen in the future.
Over the years, hundreds of thousands of websites have been hammered by Google algorithm changes because their owners chose to take risks. And, remember, every time a lot of sites are hammered and website owners complain, an equal number of other sites RISE in the rankings.
Google's alorithms at the moment don't catch every "thin affiliate" site. However, with all the PhDs at Google frantically working on serving up better search results, it's absolutely 100% inevitable, I reckon, that Google will get better at serving up the sort of sites it wants to.
Therefore, it makes sense to create the sort of sites which Google wants to present to its users. _________________ Allan Gardyne
