Linking because I laughed

Despite the fact that I am about to link to a post that is nearly 2 months old (gasp! the horror!), this post made me laugh today, so today you get to laugh at it too. I don't care if you laughed at it 2 months ago. Laugh again!

Google Webspam Initiative

Here's a taste of what you'll find.

The website mentioned above sells paid links - I know because I paid them to link to a competitor of mine

    Interesting post…that’s definitely one reason why people link to others…because they laughed at it. If it’s funny, controversial, they love it, or they hate it, then there’s a good chance that another blogger is going to link to it–as long as they know about it!

    You have to admit, though, that even the title (your link text “google webspam initiative” is pretty funny, too. Even the words Google and Webspam are pretty hilarious if you actually think about it. 😉

    That’s hilarious. 😀

    I wonder, do you think Google would penalize me if I paid people to laugh at my jokes…?

    Oh man…that’s a good one. And here I was thinking that Google execs were just going to ignore paid text links!
