Cheating?

My current focus of attention is, rather boringly, on fundraising / paperwork / earning money. None of which are much fun to do and I rather imagine are not that interesting to read about either. The interesting bit, actually practicing for living in the jungle, has rather fallen by the way side of late on account of the sheer amount of time that the other activities take up. Such is life.

I have a question for you.

Would it be cheating if I was to put a post on this blog asking the people who read the blog to put links to it from as many places on the web as they can find? If this were to happen it would increase both traffic to the site and the status that search engines consider it to have and so increase the potential for it to make money.

 

"Such a request is unethical", discuss.

Interesting question...I have already put your link on jugglingjoe.co.uk anyway without you asking. The fact of you mentioning it may be seen as legit in just giving people the idea of doing so (I.e. those who would do so, but hadn't thought of it before). The fact of you 'asking' people to put your URL everywhere they can find...as far as I can see is fine legally, ethically and morally...but I'm keeping an open mind if people disagree!

Actually a few people have even clicked through to my URL just because of posting comments on your site! You could go and do that to lots and lots of other forums/blogs and it may work well for you!
