I mean which is more dear to webmasters: a backlink or few bucks when they are submitting their web site?
How long is a piece of string? What backlink pr0 or pr8?, how many bucks, and what site to? We all have to budget our outgoings with our (expected income, everyone's strategy varies
Yah... even if you said the backlink - the backlink only leads to money in some way or another... Would you rather have $40,000 or a link for month on www.google.com (during pr update month)?
Arbitary question you can earn money almost all of the time But some backlinks are only available for a limited period, so you have to secure the links when the opportunity comes along
