Kgun, I beg your pardon. I didn't quote you because it would have been out of context, and I thought the ethics issue was worthy of another thread ... but you did say (bold mine):

If you wan't to sell links on your page:
  1. Set up a professional link broker business. Did you watch the second video in my first post? Note what Rand Fishkin say's in the time interval 06.20 - 04.35. Build a marketplace for paid reviews. There has to be a solution to this problem to make it white hat. Related

  2. Hide the link selling as good as you can. An argument for unlegal and / or unethical business. <snip>
and I hope you can see how I might have gotten the wrong impression and interpreted #2 as a suggestion that link selling is unethical ...

I didn't mean to misconstrue your words.

In any case, I simply meant to sound out members on whether ethics comes into play or not.
