I have to be a pointer today and regurgitate some great posts on Webmaster World. A couple commenters do a great job of explaining their views on link building in an altruistic, white hat manner.

I’m only spewing this forth on my blog for the sake of the fact that they’ll probably pull the post down from public, leaving it only accessible to paid members. And hey, these people have said it much better than I am able to right now.

My takeaway: even if spammy link-building techniques get you results today, the algorithm will catch up with you one day.
