Wow, Great pitch … I should send them a letter …

“Thanks for damaging the integrity and credibility of the search engine marketing industry”.

I had to customise the XMap sitemap plugin in Joomla to write out their spam links - be very careful about this. I'm surprised noone has tried to charge me for Google sitemap inclusion yet - furthermore they are targeting the wrong audience, they really need to hit users of the MSN search engine = more ignorance => more evil p.s. on sitemaps, you have to be careful that the service you are using doesn’t add spam backlinks.

My rule on link buying: For advertising and additional traffic = its good For ranking = a big NO! SEO is not a snap of a finger success it takes time…if you do it the right way…naturally and eventually you’ll see the results…its a long term goal not an over night success!
