Thanks for the replies, both of them answering my questions.
Dominique, I particularly like your point that something done right (and honest) the first time does not need done again, on the other hand a blackhatters techniques need to be reaplied over and over again…
greek39 very well written reply. I think you make much sense.
My honesty was never in question. What was in question was my devotion to this project if this type of behavior was the norm. Seeing the strong positive replies I’ve gotten, I will continue the moral SEO pursuit, as I already have done in other projects.
Thanks again…
