But I didn't make the joke! Its just my interpretation of why it is funny. If you don't agree, why do you think its funny? :) Jill: links bought for PR (ie non no-follow) are contra-TOS for Google, so to use them is non-white hat.

It was a more popular drink than Guiness at Pubcon. Funniest thing I heard was from a guy asking Vanessa Fox for help with his site. She doesn't have the patience of Matt, but still she deserves an award for exemplary patience under fire as the guy kept pressing her for the secret magic steps to ranking. Every time she suggested he review *anything* on his site as a possible concern, he interrupted her saying "....no..no...for SEO, the site is perfect..." Hey Michael what happened to Ghost Bar? I was there...alone (?) I called it Goolaide today on my blog. It was a more popular drink than Guiness at Pubcon.

Well at first I chuckled, then I wondered: have we all drank so much of the Google kool aid that we now equate purchased links (from someone besides Google) with black hat optimization, rather than what it really is: legitimate advertising?
