I have to say, after reading those posts, Matt is looking more trustworthy than the OP.

Especially considering the definitely-not-a-sock-puppet post by jimboykin [1], an account that was created immediately after this thread and has but a single post on HN.

I mean part of this issue is that there is no feedback to the website owner, which is shown by the guy only getting a response here on HN.

Like isn't it kind of insane that the top Google search engineer provided customer service to OP, but he couldn't get a response thru a normal channel.

Thank you for the links.

When I refer to Matt Cutts lying, I mostly mean his comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5426209

I have no idea what that business is with that company.

I did everything in his comment to address the claimed automated penalties: removed every single ad and every single citation from the site. No changes in ranking at all, after months. I forget how many. 6 months?

That’s because Matt Cutts was lying: there was a manual penalty in place at that time.
