Shouldn't Google catch on to this stuff and demote their site ranking?
I thought Google specifically penalised sites which did that?
Google does actually penalize this. It's also not that easy to catch given the layers involved.
Google should start penalizing this kind of sites
Isn't there a Google PageRank penalty for sites that do that now?
It's not inconceivable that some Googlers reads here or otherwise and took note to punish that site.
No, this is google enforcing a harsh penalty for one site to discourage other people from trying to game search which basically makes us all suffer through content farm links, etc.
Google is doing the thing that it punishes other publishers for doing? Whaaaaa? /s
Oh boy, thats going to get google hammered in the blacklist and age blacklist lawsuits.
Reminds me of SEO link spam attacks on competing websites to get them banned by Google.
