    I agree, this is very thought-provoking. I have been blogging since 2001 and so I remember when sharing links was as normal as day and did not involve placing a rel="nofollow" attribute just so Google pagerank juice doesn't leak from your site. I thought the use of personal photos was a creative way of bringing your point across.
    It seems that everything on the internet now is commercial in nature and yes, that is truly sad. Thank goodness for Squidoo which allows us to share what we are passionate about and, at the same time, allows us to give back to the community and our favorite charities too.

    I too remember the happy days when getting links on other people's site didn't involve a negotiation about money or a reciprocal link. I understand why Google puts a higher value on one way links, assuming that nobody has a commercial interest in putting that link on site. Unfortunately, that isn't often true.

    I think you've written an interesting and thoughtful lens.
