Yes, but the same goes for any traffic trading. Say, for example you flame me in another thread and I want revenge, I could just as easily send them to wherever the traffic trade link in your signature goes to, and that would be preferable to them because you no doubt have the URLs you want trades on listed, they could just cut you off in an instant. But if they wanted to cut DarkJedi off after seeing this thread they have got to find him first.

Bottom line : Yes we could all someday get penalized or dropped by Google, but if we get paranoid about every little thing we may as well give up on SEO, close down our sites, and see if K-Mart is hiring.

You can get a job - I make too much money at this - LOL. Yes, but there is an agruement that a link trade has some value to the surfer, such as guiding them to more sites with realated info - which is what SEs want anyways. They need links to crawl. Whereas, just buying links for SE purposes is just fim-flamming Google and they would crack down on that much sooner that link trades.

FYI: I like DarkJedi - he's one of my best submitters to my LL. He asked for advice I'm offering it. Not to mention:

1. The price
2. Are the people selling the link gonna be there tomorrow?
3. No matter how high the PR. Are the links relevant?
4. How many other people are they selling links to?

And much much more.
