Recently, it
came out that
Matt Mullenweg, lead developer of
Wordpress, was selling advertising on the
Wordpress Web site using Wordpress's high Google page rank. Read
the article to
find out how this was being achieved. Essentially, he was hosting pages that
contained high-dollar Google keywords. It appears as though most of the
community did not know about this, and an outcry resulted. Matt has
responded to this and has
removed the pages from the Wordpress site. This is an interesting issue, and
I'll be interested to see how this affects Wordpress usage in the future, if it
affects it at all.
