And More From Matt Cutts
Two days ago we brought you information on an interview with Google guru Matt Cutts in which he described a fairly new black hat tactic. In this interview he pointed to OneupWeb as a company that used the technology and got their clients into major trouble. Visit our blog post from September 19th for more on that topic. The next day we brought you information from Jim Hedger of SiteProNews on a pretty major issue. He received a call from the CEO of OneupWeb.

I felt bad enough about the mistake that I posted a clarification on my blog at: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/goodkarma-radio-show-and-a-clarification/So there we have it. OneupWeb is vindicated.
My apologies to Lisa Wehr and the folks at Oneupweb, who responded to my error with grace and humor.
