The guy that is advertising on my site that I talked about in the other thread is asking me to change my sidebar block's name from "Sponsored Links" to something that doesn't imply that he paid for the link, saying it will hurt his rankings. I don't really buy this as tons of sites are using sponsors or sponsored links or something along those lines (including this one) and nobody is complaining. This guy has already been requesting things left and right of me so I already don't want to do anything else for him, but I also think he's wrong about this. What do you guys think or know about this?

Selling links requires a nofollow or they consider it buying links to pass link weight. Sure you can probably get away with it but nothing sucks more than being blacklisted in Google and all for a 10-20 a month link. | ||||
