Matt Cutts Apologizes

Google was forced to swallow some pride as it issued a penalty against Google Japan. We all know that Google is strongly against paid links, so it was surprising when Google Japan was recently found out for buying blog posts as part of a promotional campaign for a new service.

Google penalizes Google.jp by reducing its PR from 9 to 5.For doing Link buying.
