It came to my attention today that at least one mid-sized hosting company is risking it's clients sites in Google.

The host is cloaking all of it's clients sites when Googlebot visits, adding it's own links to their pages. They currently have 17,000 backlinks pointing to the home page.

If you're not on your own dedicated server, it might be worth a look in Google's cache of your site.
