Normally the companies names in the previous sentence would be links to their sites, but their recent tactics don’t deserve the business I might send their way if someone followed the links.

I link to companies when I write negative comments about them in the hopes that it drives my posts higher in search results for the companies. I’m not certain that it does drive the search results higher though as I never researched it.

Still I’ve seen from my logs that many people have arrived to my site by searching for company names (Rust Consulting Epson for example).
