I was reading about JCPenny getting busted for buying links - i've noticed another very large business that is buying links for both the US and UK versions of their site, and rank #1 in search engines for most of their keywords. This company is huge - making millions per month world-wide.

I was wondering if starting a blog and busting large sites for buying links would be a good idea. Show the evidence and how I know they are buying links.

It seems like a decent idea, but might not be worth the hassle. What do you think?

I think you'd be inviting LOTS of trouble and enemies onto your front lawn. But hey, if you get crushed it will make for a cool story. There's always a bright side.

why don't you ask Jill Whalen how it's going?

I'm not actually competing with any of these websites.. but I'm sure people that are competing with them would be willing to pay to have them busted. Potential for high value clients - could turn into a business on its own that sort of "checks" google and helps keep competitive keywords being taken over by SEO techniques that are mean't to deceive Google.

@clyde - I never questioned the legality of buying links - its the morality. Does Google care people are buying links? When a story goes mainstream, they do. The fact is... buying links is cheating - should the people who follow the rules be left behind because they didn't resort to paying for rankings?
 
Blackhat will rule over whitehat but not in the long run :) So buying backlinks it's not good when sombody is looking at what you're doing :)
