Hi Richard,

thanks for your remarks and suggestions.

Now we have a more user-friendly linking policy…

I like the bit about spacing in milimeters! Who is whipping out the ruler on their 17″ screen, are they checking it on the 27″ too?

omg!

They should really have a set of conditions on talking about them as well. I mean imagine what people could say about them. The things they would likely imply. It’s kinda frightening….

This post has been picked up on a few other SEO blogs now, so it might get back to ICS at some stage or other.

I might drop them an email on Monday and see if they would like some free advice on the issue.

Nah, I spotted it on Donncha’s blog too – was spreading the word about Daffodl day, but couldn’t resist spreading the word about the bizarre linking policy too.

I wasn’t sure of your linking policies, so I decided to play it safe. But given your desire to keep the riff-raff out a link has now been added

Richard

I’m glad to see that you haven’t linked back to me where we talked about this (I expect the fax is in the post).

I don’t want any trailer-trash-seo-traffic-from your site. Only people that I have personally interviewed should read my blog.

Sorry Richard, I have to review that link. You need to fax me at 555-9876 to get my linking policy. I don’t put it online because of nasty hackers with open sores who might infect my website. As it is, that link breaks rules 5 subsection a, 9 subsection c, 7 subsection h.

Oh, thanks for the link

Done. And while I was there I checked your linking policy and see I’m in the clear

Well, you might as well link directly to my post at http://ocaoimh.ie/2007/03/23/a-free-daffodil-for-your-blog-today/ and get a pingback out of it!
