Some Link Building Firms are Scraping the Barrel

I’m not doubting the power of a successful link building strategy. Links can make or break a site. However I’ve spoken before about how I think Google needs to do more about shabby link selling and spammy link sites, this post shows you why.

The article isn't clear on what exactly the author feels is the problem with the pages where the links are placed so it's difficult to say if this is a good article or not.

Thanks for the feedback Jill.

However, the article states "I simply want to raise the subject and stimulate some debate" and concludes "I accept getting links from truly authoritative sites is near on impossible for most websites. But is this the answer? Is adding to the spam-o-sphere really the way forward. I hope not."

I would have thought is was clear from this I regard the listed sites as spam. But I take you point.
