Link baits and internet billionaires
I often get offers for my better sites from individuals who want me to add a link to their website in exchange for an “informative article” . This is a “white hat ” technique to get links.
When I ask them if they will pay a small amount for adding their link, they usually refuse to, saying that a multi billion dollar company (whose owners are the some of the richest individuals on the planet, but scrimp on customer support) will ban/demote their sites from the SERPS if they find out. Google’s advertised motto may be “do no evil” , but the company will stoop to any level to destroy a possible competitor/ rival.
