Link Buying Poll


Please take the following poll ONLY if you already purchase text link ads (from anywhere). If you don’t, the poll has no meaning for you. The poll is completely anonymous, so participating won’t out you in any way.

I’m just curious how the text link ads marketplace would change if there was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY a purchased link could pass any link juice. So, let’s just play a “what if” game. What if all text link ads suddenly functioned as though they were nofollowed… If you already buy link ads, how would you then answer the following question? (Remember, your participation doesn’t out you in any way).


For just a $5 tip, you can advertise your site or affiliate link on SEO Scoop. Find out how.

If you are the first to "discover" any of my posts in StumbleUpon, one of the following categories would probably be the most appropriate to place it into. You don't have to choose one of these, of course, but based on what I usually write about, there's a good chance any of my posts will fall into one of these categories.

Business * Computers * Computer Graphics * Computer Hardware * Computer Security * Databases * Ecommerce * Internet * Internet Tools * Linux/Unix * Marketing * Search * Self Improvement * Web development * Weblogs(Blogs) * Windows * Writing

    Buying text links will never be stopped! Matt will never want it to be abolished if it was a law.
