Hi!

Here in Portugal, the yellow pages company has an internet directory and also sell sites created on some sort of basic cms. Even thought most of thse sites are just plain informative sites, with no quality content, they rank well.
I heard from some guys that they pay some undisclosed ammounts of money to big G in order for their sites to rank better - as they usually do, at least here in Portugal.
Is it true? Is it a myth?
But more important than that: if it is true, is there a way to still get ranked even when their poor quality sites are well ranked?
Are there ways to do some kind of reactive bh seo tactics in order to lower their ranks? Or whatever other measures...

it's myth, I remember Google deindexed Ceneo, biggest price compare service in Poland with 15 million monthly visitors
they need to fix things to Google policy, there are no exceptions even for big companies
 
Well, it's a little off topic but google is kinda idealistic when it comes to search results. They want their user to experience a search activity in an unobtrusive way and serve what they search faster
 
I don't really believe in that sorta thing, but on the other hand, YOU NEVER KNOW what goes behind closed doors.

I remember one time Matt Cutts lifted a penalty to Neil Patel. You have a few cases like this where Google has dealt personally with people. Among them is Barry Schwartz from SEL.
