Great deal. Until you get a Google Penguin penalty and have to spend $10k+ in employee time getting it corrected, disowning backlinks and so on.

Some types of company see penalties (or cleanup cost) as a cost of doing business. If they make > $10k to incur $10k in costs, then it works out.

It's a faulty way of seeing things, but businesses like that tend to have a fog around them. They don't see the icebergs coming.

First failed assumption of course being that they'll automatically make > $10k

Those fines usually exist for a reason. Just because you can pay your way out of consequences for the negative externalities doesn't mean it's good for anyone but your shareholders.
