But then who's going to be using Adwords?

New websites, and sites that want to promote a product/service that search isn't providing enough traffic for?

You make a good point and tbh I haven't really thought it through. It was just something that popped in my head because I was always taught that positive re-enforcement is better than negative. I don't know how true that is or how it could translate to a profitable model for google.

I'm as unhappy about the panda-penguin-disavow-tweak-every-single-freaking-day nonsense as anyone. It's killing too many 100% white-hat businesses but we all know that so I'm thinking a fundamental change in their thinking is needed.
