Okay, so we have v7n.com promoting the buying and selling of links, (by providing the forum), and we have members that are doing the buying and selling on v7n.com.

Anyone see a problem?

Here’s the kicker. v7n.com has a forum rule that when selling links, you must put the URL in your post. Notice here the moderator chicgeek reminding the original poster, (OP):

chicgeek: “Please post the URL, as per the requirement of this forum’s rules.”

Next, two more interested members ask for the URL to be pm’d to them.

Next, chicgeek steps in again insisting that the OP post the URL for *all* to see:

chicgeek: “Second and final request for the URL to be posted.”

That’s where the thread is right now. Will the original poster, WD-NYC Designer, be punished by moderator geekchic if he does not comply? If he does comply by posting his URL will his URL and all his link-buying cusomers be penalized in Google’s SERPs?

Stay tuned for more episodes of the v7n-geekchic & Matt Cutts show.
