I have a site (which you can see by removing the @yahoo from my email address) and I am trying to figure out a way to get the girls to link to me. Is it ok for me to have a linking contest? Like, can I say "Place this link on your blog or whatever and whoever sends the most people will get a gift certificate?" As you can see my site is not about internet marketing so I don't know if Google will get on me for that. Please let me know if you have any advice for me! Thanks so much again!

Seriously, am I the only one who see something wrong here. They index the web content, and sell ads to their visitors... that's it. They don't own the Internet, it's not theirs. They are coming to monopolize the greatest thing ever. SOmething that doesn't and shouldn't belong to anybody and that nobody should control.

On multiple occasions I’ve linked out to 40+ brand new sites at a time. This is fine as long as they are providing something of value. i can’t believe you actually did this:

Plus the rules keep changing every few months ! Quite a circus really.

However, I think there are a couple other times in which using the rel="nofollow" attribute is valuable: <b>1.</b> restricting PR (authority) from flowing to useless links ie. affiliate links, bookmarketing links etc. <b>2.</b> To control your own internal link juice. For instance, I use Andy Beard's "nofollow those dupes" plugin to nofollow all links on the homepage in order to drive the juice into my money pages. This does take from the temporary front-page link that people would be getting, but it puts more juice into the pages that really matter in the long run. Good points Courtney.
