Somewhere down the line that little fact seems to be forgotten by many. I guess it doesn't fit with their conclusions,. Selective evidence gathering that is called.


I'm not a big fan of what Google does because in my opinion they should be able to figure out if a link is paid for without the webmaster telling them it was paid for. But that's another discussion.
Peter if you followed the thread from the beginning, I was telling exactly what you said repeating myself again and again, but my voice was ignored, until suddenly Bruce came over and his voice was heard. Forget it man.

Bruce said its unethical if you do not warn the client about the risk of buying/selling links for boosting PR, which was nothing new or obvious. Discussing about buying and selling for boosting PR is ridiculous anyway, as I do not think anybody who is interested to be ranked in Googles organic search would take that risk, except if that Rambo would try to implement black hat techniques or something like that.

After all I regret that I have spend my very valuable time joining this discussion. I honestly learned something out of this experience. You have to be a famous in the SEO industry if you want your opinion to be accepted without any doubts or so ever.

Ladies and gentlemen I would like to apologize for taking your valuable time to read my crappy posts.

Once again, after mentioning many times again and again in this thread:

Selling or buying links for boosting PR is unethical and unwise. PERIOD!
