Google's Adam Lasnik Knocks on Paid Links

Sep 15, 2006 - 8:38 am 11 by

It has been a while since a Googler knocked on buying links in a while. But recently, mini-Matt, Adam Lasnik, of Google, wrote in a WebmasterWorld thread saying;

Advertising's fine
Buying links for PR: bad

So buy links for advertising and not for building your PR. Got that?
