I had dozens of people say it was the best session of the whole show. I won't make that claim myself, but I was pleased with both the content and the response. I am not sure why you would criticize while hiding behind the name of someone who tried to blow up parliment in the name of the catholic church, but that is your option. A more engaged critique could elicit more conversation. Actually, I was quite sober and most people spoke highly of my presentation.

" Becoming a member of a <a href="http://christiandating.breakingthelight.com" rel="nofollow">Christian dating</a> service is not considered immoral, as long as the person understands the rules of dating in Christianity. A search for a good Christian dating service produces uncountable results — there are too many to choose from. However, it pays to exercise prudence while contacting and signing up to these services." Christians have rules for dating? Since when? Oi guys

Each of these improves the relevance of what the user sees and makes our jobs clear...deliver relevant content that is structured in a way that the search engines easily understand it.

From what I read, google won't penalize the redirected site. So, in the approach above with the mysite-mylinks.com site, they won't blacklist the mysite.com domain. The reason is that people would abuse it to harm their competitors. For instance, if I were to want to put my competitors out of business, I would create a site that points to my competitors then spam via the mysite-mylinks.com site to get the mysite.com site banned. So, I still think the redirect method would work, at least from what I've read. About the redirects. From what I read, google won’t penalize the redirected site.
