Controling Content
It's a sad day here but we see know other alternative. Out Robots.txt files will be changed to exclude Google from all our business and family friendly sites. We can not and will not allow our sites to link to additional sites without being screened by our editors. Some of these sites are designed specifically for children, We have assured the users that the content is kid friendly. From our college baseball site to the Alaska campground locator, as soon as links are being redirected without consent. Google will be excluded from indexing the sites until they learn to control there engineers.

Just because you can do something does not make it acceptable. The content on many of the sites I refer to is covered by copyright laws and monitored by CopyScape.
