SEO penalties for speaking bad about Google

[Beverly]

Do you think it's possible that Google penalizes sites and blogs that post negative reviews or opinions about Google/Google Search or any of the Google sites? Has this happened to you? And, if so, how would you be able to link the two events?

Probably not. I mean, I've criticised Google to hell and back for some of their practices, yet no site of mine has been penalised for it.

Did you make the comments on forums not directly connect to your site (such as Google could not prove you owned) or were the comments made on your own site? Google is known for their ability to crush small webmasters. Kind of want to see if anyone got damaged from bad mouthing Google.

I always have sites I own in my signature/profile/home page field, so it's obvious either way.

No comments about them on my own forums, but that's just because Google is irrelevant to gaming.

You might be penalized only manually for that, but I don't think it's very likely. I've never heard of such cases

This is quiet interesting.

And that says it all. They're not punishing people for criticising them, otherwise that Google Sucks site would be nowhere to be found.
