I missed jumping into last week's debate because I was traveling. Can't say I missed that much. In general, I'm pretty tired of the entire "let's police paid links" thing at this point. Google especially created the link economy, and that link genie is simply not going back into the bottle, no matter how much you try to stuff it in with nofollow might and warnings.
Tired? Yeah, tired. I mean it's just become absurd at this point. But I'll give it one more go, a stroll down memory lane in the wake of nofollow and the Paid Links War II (PLW I was fought in 2002-2003 against SearchKing).
