Suppose you were offered 263 links coming into your website from 263 other websites all in one fell swoop. Everybody knows that

higher you will rise in
search engine rankings.Suppose further that these were real links from real websites that actually sold real products and services – no cheap FFAs throwing come-ons on a street corner on

Suppose further that this offer included
reciprocal linking code for all 263 sites that just had to be cut and pasted into your website. Piece of cake.
