I did visit a lot of the sites on the list. More links to your site, better chance someone will visit. I'm not trying to preach the anti-viral tags gospel or anything. I made the choice that it was wrong for my site for the reasons I've laid out. If someone else feels differently, that's fine with me. You have a point there.

I did find your/this blog because of viral tags.. Well that shut me up!

Most of it is in Google's policy. Here's a good article on <a href="http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-handle-a-google-penalty-and-an-example-from-the-field-of-real-estate" title="How to Handle a Google Penalty - And, an Example from the Field of Real Estate">reciprocal linking</a>. It uses Real Estate as an example, but a lot of what he's talking about would apply to viral linking as well. <strong>Edited to add:</strong> Here's what Google says about it. <a href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66356&query=linking&topic=&type=">Link schemes policy</a>. Is that proof enough for you? It was for me. Yep. Most of it is in Google’s policy. Here’s a good article on reciprocal linking.

Someone who sees the light and gets it. I've been telling friends the same thing and have run the other way each time I've been tagged with these link trains and viral tags. I've spent many an hour researching SEO, and I've read this myself. At the very least, they simply won't validate the links, so all the time and energy spent is for naught. It may help your technorati ranking but that's it. But at the expense of your site if they punish you, you're just shooting yourself in the foot. THANK YOU for posting this! Finally!
