>> Is exchanging links something Google frowns on?

To ignore is ok .. but to frown on, is bad and promotes extreme antisocial behavour.

Exchanging links, ideas, contacts, favours, drinks are a part and parcel of forming networks, both online and offline.

Does this mean if I give MB a cigar at the next pubconf, in appreciation of his fine work and he buys me a drink the next time he sees me at the bar... someone else would have a frown on his face?

The problem starts when and if MB only buys drinks for people who give him cigars.

(Was going to use a political campaign contribution analogy ... but figured this one is more fun)
