Comment on Is paying for backlinks for SEO ethical? Do you do it?parent

Comments

Who gets to decide that? Google IMHO does NOT (even with their "don't be evil" slogan). All Google gets to decide is whether they value certain links or hand out a penalty for them. That does not define whether something is ethical or not. It's ethical to pay for advertisements, so why shouldn't it be ethical to pay for links?
