It is a bit over done." I'm really annoyed because the Link-o-Matic puts 6 links to EASTER in a 1-page article about the Easter Bunny. And links to "running" (the sport) from a review of a dishwasher where I mentioned the sound if the running motor. Never send software to do a human's job. But we're not Google-slurping bottom feeders. “The interlinking between pages, I’ll give you. It is a bit over done.”

I'd repost it here, but there are some links in it that might not make it across. No, Google just figuring it out is not enough. I mean, sure, I could agree with you that maybe we should all say it is. But Google itself does not say that's enough. Google is pretty specific that if you sell links, you should flag them as nofollow or break PageRank in some other way. That's a Google guideline, not mine. Hey Everett–
