zafile,

Here is what insulates one from the search engines:

A high number of regular visitors who bookmark and use your site.

We get only 17% of our traffic from search engines.

Now Bretts guide is fine as far as it goes and for when it was written.

Requiring other sites who provide unsolicted links to do it exactly so is a joke, as I understand it Google doesn't hold you responsible for another sites actions.

So all your carping about folks linking to you is a laugh.
