One final thought on Google’s “paid links = bad” declaration
Maybe what we should really be asking ourselves is what this has to do with Google buying DoubleClick.
I think Aaron Wall has it right, and this is pretty much what I’ve been saying but I hadn’t connected it with that purchase. Google just wants to eliminate their ad selling competition.
We can stop that by not letting them bully us.
Maybe now is the time for me to look into buying text link ads to promote some of my sites.
