Nothing Wrong With Advertising
On the subject of paid links and PR, I have found that some (many actually)
webmasters are arrogant. For them, it's all about their sites being so great
that they get one-way IBL (Incoming Back Links) automatically. If you ask for
a reciprocal link, their answer is just like they're saying, "I haven't found
a website worthy of my links yet, what makes your site so special?"
And the topic of paid links is "above" them...unless you are willing to pay
three figures per month that is. But the way I see it, the internet was - and
is still is - built by links. And paid or not, linking out should not be based
on whether Google will devalue your links, or based on arrogance - but should
be decided on by whether the sites are relevant to each other, and if so, can
you monetize that link for the benefit of yourself as well as the advertiser.
What do you all think?
