The "Scroogled" part also applied to anyone looking to buy, sell or trade links on their sites.
If you use The Big G's email service to talk about those things, and your messages include the urls of your websites, you can count on them being devalued or penalized for violating G's terms and conditions regarding search engine optimization and manipulation.
I see buyers, sellers and traders using Gmail all the time, and even some who list their sites' urls right in their message board posts which Big G's spiders crawl every day too.
If you don't do this, don't start.
If you do this, stop doing it now.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.
