To Be Paid Links
Michael “Five links for $100″ Gray has tagged me in his dirty, filthy and despicable paid links scheme. Erm, meme.
I was even considering paying him $200 not to link to me, and stating, for the record, I wanted no part in it. But he said $200 was far too cheap for that sort of non-publicity, and I’d have to come up with a decent offer.
That gave me an idea. I think this marks the start of the paying-for-not-linking market.
Now, unless these five people come up with $500 bucks each not to link to them, I’m going to link to them.

Pete,
I’ve just woken up (I’m on British Summer Time) to do my monthly reports. I’ll tell all my clients about the paid non-linking scheme.
Will being placed next Matt Cutts in the paid non-linking scheme reduce or enhance my standing in the eyes of the Google algorithm?
