Yeah, I've been watching it, but I thought surely it was going to be temporary. It's getting worse and worse, and all so a few 5 to 10 year old established sites with trust and perhaps a handful of bad links can be punished. It is a scammer's haven now. Fly-by-night sites and press releases.

I know this all to well. Negative SEO is rampant in this niche right now and it's working - victim of it. I was positive the PR's would get shut down fairly quick as well but that hasn't been the case. Check back on pages 5-10 for some keywords phrases in that niche it's PR insanity.
