Google Penalized Google Japan. The end of PayPerPost ?

Google Penalized PayPerPost article including their very own website Google Japan.

In Order to compete against Yahoo Japan ( Yahoo Japan is the most used search engine in Japan).Google Japan hire a Advertising Company Cyberbuzz to use a tainted and controversial social media optimization method called pay-per-post.

Cyberbuzz uses pay-per-post method to promote Google Japan new “Google Kyuujyoushou Waado (Hot Keywords)” feature. Cyberbuzz pay Japan Bloggers to say good word to the new “Google Kyuujyoushou Waado (Hot Keywords)” feature. This campaign caused unsatifaction on the Internet as people think that google has spamed its own search result.

After a few days Google Japan has forced to stop the campaign. Google Japan was caught buying blog posts in a promotion campaign by Google HQ. As a result, Google Japan gets penalized with pagerank reduction from PageRank 9down to PageRank 5.

This is not the 1st time Google takes its action against PayPerPost. When Google penalized its own Google Japan is that mean that the PayPerPost has come to its end ?

Also Google anti web-spam team Matt Cutts has a very interesting article about “Selling links that pass PageRank”
