I thought it was good to hear that using some of our own network links is okay with them... Also i keep reading, but am very surprised that it is okay to exchange effort for links (like work for links), as long as money is not involved or intentions is not to effect pr... This has major potential for trade systems to become popular.. eg. For a review you can have some of my own services for free... Yeah two major sites i checked out were Johnchow.com and Problogger.net... John Chow has robots.txt, but Problogger does not... however Problogger changed there links for advertisers, which looks like there own solution... yet "nofollow" is not being used or robots... Another that caught my eye was BOTW.org a directory, that sells links but does not use "nofollow" or robots.txt...? What is up with that...? I thought directories were being targetted in particular...?? Other than those ones it looks like many webmasters are starting to change there system now to comply with Google... :) Hey Yan,

I could be wrong but that's my understanding of the issue. I figure you are right on the use of robots.txt for big websites. Have you ever checked on their robots.txt file?

I've been adopting this strategy on all of my paid reviews but never use the robots.txt method as it's too time consuming. Just for the record, I'm using a plugin to set all the links as nofollow on any category I choose. Yan Hey Timon
