Well, we have gotten a ways off the topic here ... but after all, if a thread makes it to page 6, it probably has to go off topic ... there is only so much that can be said about the ethics of selling links.
Personally, I learned a lot and it has enlarged my point of view. I did always believe that presenting a link as though it was a 'recommendation' when it is paid had a 'deceptive' edge to it ... but I had not even thought of the issues with disclosing the risks to clients when buying or selling links.
Just hoping to steer us back to the thread topic ... oh, and I also wanted to note that a
more general thread on ethics has been started in the break room.
Perhaps we have said enough here ... if others think so, we could close it ... let me know if you want me to do that ...
