Nik: "Why are you asking?"
oh i just want to find out if you guys employ such tactics, and if anyone doing it will confess outright since it is an unethical way to promote one's site. also, i want to find out which technique works best amongst them all... not that i will launch a black hat seo campaign. you know me, always curious about things i still dont know...
