Other search engines are allowed to come up with their own standards. I'm actually quite impressed that Microsoft embraces link exchanges instead of following suite with google and becoming link fascists.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('783','Cash Volume'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> </div> Interesting topic absolute link bait material, but hardly black hat seo… you must keep in mind Google is not the only search engine on the block.

I was not advocating link exchange programs. I was trying to imply that link exchange, if beneficial to your users, should be be done. It certainly does not mean that you do what is mentioned in referenced post. I am sure there are other ways of doing it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('282','Kneoteric eSolutions'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> </div> My comment “Some good stuff under ‘Natural link building’ however quite cheeky of you to have included your post.” was just meant to be a teaser ;)
