So, my peeps over here are a big, bad, cheating, lying, failing, floundering, flopping, greedy, stinking, gigantic wad of rat poo. You just don't mean that in a <b><i>bad</i></b> way, with all due respect. Really, though. I have no interest in discussing business operations. But I would be happy to give you some gardening tips or yoga advice! Right.

I know I have said it many times before but I really do have a lot of respect for you guys over at Rentals.com. Sometimes it is easy to poke fun at a large company like yours because you guys would never say anything back. But now with your blog it might appear that Rentals.com has a voice. I know this is your personal blog and not the official Rentals.com blog, but it feels like your blog can help me stay in line by debating me on certain issues. Can I ask how many people work under you at Rentals.com. I want to know how many people I am competing against. :) Dave John,

C'mon, did you not read my posts!? Are you really unsure about whether I created the PPP campaign?

Do you not consider RentVine a mom and pop site? Was it you that created the PPP campaign in mid July or did someone else at rentals.com start that? Dave John,

Please don't consider this as a blog within your industry, it's not. This is my personal blog where I talk about gardening, yoga and sometimes SEO. I do what I do and I'm occasionally inclined to talk about it. As far as industries go, I am probably best known in the Yoga community. You completely miss my point(s) about paid links so I'm not going to repeat myself here. Sorry I left out the emoticon - the Greg Boser comment was a joke. I have helped many small businesses thrive online and none of them ever participated in shady link acquisition schemes. Hi Dave,

I would enjoy meeting you some time. When it comes to paid links, I think your view point can be affected by where you sit. For instance: - if you are an SEO and have clients, buying links can be a quick way to get your client ranked and make you look good. [SEO's are pro paid links] - if you work for a large company that has a large advertising budget, buying links is easy thing to do [Pro paid links] - if you are a small mom and pop site buying links to keep up with large companies is too expensive [against paid links] For someone like Greg Boser or other big SEO's that have a large voice in the SEO community of course they are going to be pro paid links because it makes their jobs easier if they have a client that has the money to spend.
