What I really want to know is: can I link to my nationally recognized brand name sites in this thread?

Sure - just get Google to make bad official comments about you in their Guidelines - and then get them to punish you. That will make your product news, too ;)

You're right that we're making a major exception to our usual policies in this thread. Having the brand name in the thread title, for starters. But that's where the "News" is and we felt it was necessary to make an exception so the discussion could be direct, and WebPosition Gold certainly deserved some space to address this move by Google.

But from here on - the Google Forum Charter [webmasterworld.com] is in full effect. No more links to WPG related pages. We will be ruthless ;)
