And your conscience still allowed you to sleep at night?
All this seems like a nice illustration of how the web ecosystem encourages parasitic behavior on so many fronts. It's sad.
- jermaustin1 6y agoWhat do you mean? We sold links on websites filled with unique content we paid for... We were masking those domains from google because google penalizes selling backlinks to justify paying for their ads. My conscience is quite clear. When google delisted our network, we refunded our customers and moved on to a smaller invite only network that ran well for years. I left that company 6 or 7 years ago, but I'm sure they are still making some money off hosting and managing private blog networks.
