		<description>Great article, thanks for sharing your views on this.  We are newer to the blogging community and are facing our first decision regarding an request for a paid link.  I think we are going to stick to quality content and normal forms of advertising through google and mainstream affiliates.</description>

		<description>I have found out that honesty is the best way to go. Because if you play dirty you will get caught in the end.</description>

		<description>What happens when you believe you are the BEST resource for traffic? Instead of purely a &quot;for profit&quot; linking strategy, some people use paid links to keep up with these black hat seo types!</description>

		<description>Hi Michael, re Google &amp; links... I&#039;ve adopted the philosophy that no matter how smart I think I am, I just assume that the folks at Google are a lot smarter when it comes to links, SEO, trickery, page rank manipulation, etc...

 I just stick to my own little corner of the net and try to be the best I can be in my niche, so for it&#039;s worked well. I guess mom was right, honesty is the best policy. ;-)</description>

		<description>@ Eric - that would be this &lt;a href=&quot;http://tnx.net&quot;&gt;TNX&lt;/a&gt;.

@ James - Exactly. It seems this is a symptom of the never-ending conflict between means vs. ends. Or results-oriented, rather than process-oriented. However you choose to look at it. I believe that success is not a goal, it&#039;s a by-product of doing things the right way. Integrity, trust, and reputation are paramount.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; Play dirty or don&#039;t play.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My personal philosophy in life is that I don&#039;t want anything I haven&#039;t earned and that if it&#039;s dirty play, then the end result is dirty money. It&#039;s not worth compromising my integrity. If I can&#039;t get links the honest way, then I have no business having a website.

&#039;nuff said.</description>

		<description>I remember seeing a website called TNX that allowed users to trade text links.  Their entire business model is based on helping people buy and sell text links.</description>
