# Geek News on Auto-Link

Hmmm...Geek News has a very "open kimono" response to Google on the AutoLink function, raising all of the issues we have had on the back of our minds. [[here](http://www.geeknewscentral.com/archives/003879.html)]
The one about compensation for clicks that drive traffic to Google sites is a good one; like AdSense in reverse.
Maybe it's time for a few key sites to block the GoogleBot. I wonder what would happen if large sites that are already well-known just stopped allowing Google to index them....
Just a thought...
