Don't Try to Pay Gawker to Place Your Clients' Links

In short, an agency specializing in SEO sent him a series of emails “bribing” him to insert clients’ links into his totally unrelated Gawker posts in order to push their names up higher in Google search results.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone, but we are a little shocked by the marketer’s insistence and his willingness to provide links to clients’ content when he should have known right away that Nolan would shame him in public by reprinting all of his emails.

Of course PR would never do such a thing, because it’s strictly the domain of “shady” marketing firms and we have ethics.
