Sam the Link Spammer
This is something every SEO should read:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/31/link_spamer_interview/
A great article, even though the author seems to display his own bias, particularly with lines like:
...the link spammers - who prefer to call themselves "search engine optimisers"...
I don't know if Sam the Link Spammer would consider himself a search engine optimizer. Maybe more of a renegade marketer. What he's doing is a bit extreme, especially when you consider there's probably some doddering old men in congress/parliament right now considering passing some draconian new law against this stuff.
I wonder how many of us read an article like this and feel the pull of the "dark side". And I don't mean the cloaking, doorway-page making pseudo-dark-side that we usually hear about; but the real, borderline-illegal dark side that Sam treads on.
