If it is going to be hard for google to detect, than it probably isn’t that good of an item. Or is it? I think that organic links will always be the best.

Inlinks is pretty much awful. Even after cancellation they continue to bill your credit card and don’t reply to requests to stop that. Have to go to my CC company now and get a chargeback.

Ha. This is funny time and time again.
#1 InLinks is a dupe of LinkXL which has a hidden footprint, automation and been around for over 2 years now.

#2 Matt is really reaching for any fruit by bringing in the Federal Trade Commission and their suggestions for consumers. Google needs to revamp their algo and try not to rely so heavily on backlinks for rankings

#3 Google hates that they created a black market with PR. “Opps- we didn’t realize that people would make $ off our engine too, where’s our cut!?” (or do I say “Cutts?”

#4 LinkXL has the ability to add “NoFollow” to any link, therefore as Matt states “provides a legal link that does not pass rank” therefore is not a bad text link.

I have a question for everyone (including Matt Cutts) about this interesting conversation. What if I put a simple disclosure on my blog or website that says that comments may be used to promote products that have not necessarily been reviewed by my site. This is more in response to the dofollow or nofollow that google has been so intent on. It is my understanding that the only reason that google does not like commenting for links is that there is no disclosure. Google could set a uniform disclaimer for all sites that when the spider reads the disclaimer it knows that these comments have been disclosed. To go further what if I allow webmasters to place paid links on my site with a simple disclaimer on my site that states that these ads may be paid for. Would that not meet the FTC’s rules? It seems that google is being somewhat anti-capitalist in their stance on these topics. Maybe I am misunderstanding google’s entire argument so please inform me or let me know if something like this might work.

Looks like Inlinks has been punished by Google. Despite 100’s of incoming links itself PR appears to be 0.
