Until there are more threads complaining about SAPE site's being hit, I think google is going to keep focusing on them. Their strategy is probably to hit enough sites so that everyone gets so scared of them and stops using them altogether.
Since most people disregarded this hit, I'm guessing google is going to do another one.. and another until they get their desired result, which is panic and fear.
They don't need to take a network down, they just need to get enough people to believe that it's already down (Which they haven't achieved yet).
Just my opinion. Doesn't mean you can't rank and bank some sites in the meanwhile though![]()
Bingo! Been trying to tell people this since the first wave of panic back when they hit back in February and it continued to work afterwards!
They can't take down something that continues to grow daily, the only way to totally fuck this as it stands right now would be to devalue footer links completely, but then SAPE would just move the links to a different position. Google is on the war path guys but trust me its going to be a long long war just the same way yandex learnt shit they been going after SAPE for years now!!
