I agree that most of the legitimate internet marketers teach link building skills with the rule that you should not spam.

I like to follow the blog of James Brausch, and he always preaches that the way to long term success is to always add value – and spam isn’t adding value.

He, and several other marketers, also say that websites, forums, etc. should be treated as someone’s home, and respected.

The problem is that, if you give someone advice, you can’t police him or her and make them follow the spirit behind the tactics.

I like the way you 'protect' the sites you link to from these kind of opportunity seekers.<br/><br/>Eventually those people always spam opportunities. But the true 'internet marketers' aren't to blame. Most of them have high standards and operate completely ethical - without spam and breaking site's policies.<br/><br/>-Dave Hey Debra,

you’re right on. I like the way you ‘protect’ the sites you link to from these kind of opportunity seekers.

Eventually those people always spam opportunities. But the true ‘internet marketers’ aren’t to blame. Most of them have high standards and operate completely ethical – without spam and breaking site’s policies.
