A former News of the World Journalist who was the original whistle blower for the scandal has mysteriously died, which will keep the conspiracy theories going for years... Hackers managed to get in to the Suns website, and redirected readers to a phoney story that Rupert Murdoch had been found dead in his garden and today, the Murdoch's and Brookes are getting quizzed by MP's "The trio are expected to be questioned over what they knew about phone-hacking at the News of the World and whether there was a cover-up.

Crystal gazing and google penalties 19th July 2011 9:48 AM “If steady link building goes on with spammy comments/posts might there be a day when Google recognises the quality of the comments /forum posts and penalises the web page/web site ranking? Looking at a counter argument this might open up the prospect doing spammy stuff in the name of your competitors to bring them down.” The way it was explained to me a while ago was that you have little control over who links to you, but you have full control of who you link to. Although the caveat with that is things like spammy link directories, and you suddenly appear on 500 on them. So Google weights this accordingly. Things like Forums and Blog comments is down to the site admins. If you happily allow blog comment spam, then it's your site (blog) that will suffer. Likewise with forums, if they go unchecked and unmoderated, then its the forum that will suffer. I doubt any penalty will be applied to the outbound link from a spammy forum or blog, although its actual value will be diminished or undermined accordingly. So I doubt you could harm a competitor just using comment spam or ropey forums, although I guess taking out lots of paid links on porn or bad neighbourhood sites may impact it?
