wtf are you talking about.The is not link penalty in Penguin 4. They just null the links and a "Penguin Tag". Get enough tags, you get a review from a Google employee (which is worse) IMO
So who was it?
I'd like to know this as well. Since the seller hasn't come out yet.
He didn't, but he closed down his BST.
This does not help me. I've bought from several sellers here and I'd like to know him. If I bought from him I'd like my links removed, right?
He took down the domains and sites,

Stay tuned because I am cracking down on two more sellers who I believe their whole network was hit as well.

Let's just not make a witch hunt out of this.And not mentioning names until proven guilty would be a good idea too imo.
Well, one already closed down his BST, and I have the domains/post date/order dates of the ones who got penalized.
In the last 24 hours I've received several messages from various members who have sent me PBN links from sellers they used. I received links from 5 services so far. Looking at the links, no wonder they got deindexed in the first place. Horrible hosting, poor WP set up, garbage content, rookie footprints and the list goes on. Some of the sellers are also marketing the service as "homepage posts" when in fact the posts don't even show fully on the homepage! Others are claiming their domains are clean when all it took was 2 minutes for me to find chinese and adult crap through Wayback. And to top it all off, the links I received from a particular member for a particular PBN service matches up with links I received from another member for another PBN service. Clearly some sort of PBN sharing going on here.
I'm glad this thread exists. Hopefully more light is shed on these shady sellers. Seriously, some of the sites I saw are utter garbage and it's clear there's some sort of connection with the PBN's between various specific sellers on the marketplace.
