Google Tweak Creates Crisis for Product-Review Sites (wsj.com)

Good riddance. When google changed their algorithm to favor site reputation, these big news sites spun up product reviews sub-sites to push paid advertising. You'll notice that they've all hired freelancers and not full-time employees.

Now that things are going back to normal, these news sites are crying about lost revenue (that they probably took from someone else in the first place).
