SEOMoz Outing Sites For Selling Links

This is not the first time that SEO Moz was tattling on sites who purchase or sell text links, but finally someone did a full post on Rand's latest outing post. Kudos to SEO Refugee for bringing SEO Moz to task for blatantly targeting sites selling links.

Rand throws up these posts in his words, 'to make a point', yet fails to consider the implications. There is no question that Googlers including Cutts read SEO Moz. I would also say that there is pretty good evidence that any passing mention in forums or widely read blogs of any specific activity that is against Google's Guidelines is manually acted upon by Google in the form of filtering or penalties.

I think it is irresponsible for MOZ to write a post where he actually points the finger at specific sites by listing their URLs.
