The question is - do I like the site and the content I am linking to? If so, I take the money and run with it. Otherwise, its not worth selling my integrity over. Perhaps for a short time.....

I would feel pretty conflicted at that point...@TylerI'm not 100% sure, but I believe Google does penalize for linking too much, but that's only if you link to other pages to the spam-blog level. One link shouldn't be the equivalent to a pagerank crash.<em>Shantanu Bala's last blog post..<a href='http://sbala.com/firefox-3-and-safari-4-javascript-interpretation/2008/06/12/' rel="nofollow">Firefox 3 and Safari 4: Javascript Interpretation</a></em> I’m not exactly sure what I would do if someone offered such a large amount of money for links.

"Google will slap you across the face in their search engine results. Lower traffic because of first point, lower Alexa ranking and perhaps less advertisers."Can you explain why/how linking to someone else's content can negatively effect your alexa/google ranking? Also, I've started my first hosted WP site (I've always used blogger before) and I was wondering if you would care if I linked to some of the tips you've given (many of your posts are very good). I'd like to share them on www.tystips.com (assuming they won't hurt my Alexa/Google ranks) :)Oh, and one other thing, since joining your Technorati train my authority on www.snigit.com has jumped from 0 to 28! Woot! I am curious about two of your cons. “Google will slap you across the face in their search engine results.

His blog wouldn't have been as good as it is now if he had adopted this link selling strategy earlier. In the long run it would be a bad idea.Thanks,Sarah.
