Is there such a thing as ethical SEO? 50% of my junk mail box is spam, sorry marketing from SEO guys and around 10% of telephone calls, must be quiet out there at the moment for em or too many of em

On page SEO and articles that have value I suppose.

I asked someone on another forum if the 1,000 links from blog comments for £10 she was offerring was spam. She said of course not as it was done properly. I asked if it was done manually - she wouldn't answer that question

I doubt Google would see it that way - manual or automatic it runs the risk of a penalty unless you already have millions of links already and naturally attract those sorts of volumes.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd ask in here reached the magic mark of enough posts to link my signature - is there anything wrong/against the rules with the current sig?
