    I made a comment in class today about how there is a large industry that is kind of developing on the internet. That is an industry that is paid to give businesses higher profiles on the internet. My mother works at a company that inserts links onto benign blogs, just to get links to show up more often when you look things up on a search engine. Check out this guy's blog as an example. This guy isn't too sneaky about it: He puts his purpose in the title. Its just interesting to see the jobs that are opening up through the internet.
