Another answer on the blog boys and girls - allow me to share my interpretation: Work for the answer. :)

Commenting on the cat pictures isn't as bad as snitching which comes in second behind search engine ass kissing which ties for first with people who think link building is "hardly a skill".
Real link builders don't need scripts. :)
Mark - .. white moral horse eh? Hmmm, I think you'll find most link builders ghost riding these day. ;)
I know and understand competitive markets need to be more aggressive and use more aggressive tactics to secure links, and I'm totally ok with it. It's a doggie dog world out there and in order to survive, you need to be smarter, faster and have more insurance than the next guy. That's never been an issue for me.
But the thing about not needing skill to build links? I just can't agree with that one. I don't think you can make a blanket statement like that about building links any more than you can flatly say PPC is easy. Everything has levels of complexity and range, linking isn't any different.
If all you're doing is surfing around doing utility type linking then yes, you are totally right. But if you're in this to make money, be around long term and be successful, good linking is really about good marketing and good marketing is always a current trend.
Ok this old web-hippie is taking her linky ass back to work. Still think snitching sucks though. :)
No you're right, the "regular" phrase is dog eat dog - but doggie dog is something Snoop Dog says all the time, it's one of those silly things you pick up and say as a result.
don't you all get the E! channel over there? :)
Between the title of this post and the comment about guys pissing in corners, it's been a good week on Sphinn :)

This is a very good collection of sites and well put together, good job ya'all.
"Does anyone else see this as a clear attempt by WebMasterRadio.fm to get some PR by making up a rumor they heard "at bars and such" ?
They must be going to an awful lot of bars in Countries all over the world then.
LOL - well that's true, you can hear rumors anywhere and in some cases they are lies, but not this one. People talked about this "banning" issue in all kinds of places, I heard it and I'm betting half the people reading this did too. All WMR did was talk about it in the open.
So cudos to them. It's what reporters do, they hear about an issue, go to a source, bring up the issues and get them talked about. Nothing wrong with that and WMR didn't make anything up.
Whew, all is still right with the world. I actually thought you had turned into a helpful blogger there for a minute.
too pedantic
It's all them big damn words you use boy, just can't follow.
at no time was there any pulling of hair, scratching of eyes or partial nudity.
Well - damn.
Sphunn for being called sexy in the same post with Lisa. How cool is that?
I am sooo jealous, off to pick a fight with Christine............ meow.

Here's a really good example of why a review system like the one being discussed in this thread won't work without both sides of the story being presented.

What if that client reveiwed Ian's company and left a commnet that simply said - didn't complete contract or didn't implement all aspects of contract...
Innocent comments when you know the whole story but alone can be detrimental for Ian and his firm.
