the reason i ask this is because google states that they want there clicks to be original, meaning that they would like people to find my website through search engines only right?? I'm still working on the SEO for my website ( www.name-ninja.com ), before i do any search engine submission..., but I have been doing a lot of advertising on myspace with a friend adder bot I purchased recently from the www.thetoolsmith.com , called "easy adder". It allows you to add up to 400 friends a day and makes for some quick advertising without waiting for the search engines to find me. I just don't want google to pull any fast ones on me and ban me! anyone who has any knowledge on this topic let me know!! thx
