What's even more interesting than the post itself is the backlash the writer received from the SEO community. Just check out the comments by the bloggers and "expert SEOs" such as "... Danny Sullivan considers this 'embarrassing' because the Microsoft Office Live team doesn't seem to be on the same page as the Microsoft Search team.."

Why is it that folks cannot see the difference between natural volume relevant linking for the end user and full duplex high volume irrelavant linking?

But by my listing some of the link-exchange software and services you may come across out there, I implied that these are good options too. That’s often NOT the case. Using these services could actually get you into trouble with search engines, especially if you try to “game” the system with excessive links.

cybox, forget irrelevant linking. More important is that high volume relevant reciprocal linking has been penalized in the past. Numerous examples.
