  1. Oh I can still blame them. Their gray hat short term techniques to increase traffic by shady means are unfair to other people who are trying to do everything right and bring traffic to their sites by white hat methods. It is no different than doping in sports. Those athletes who chemical enhance their performance are only interested in short term goals and making quick money. But when caught they are rightly banned from the sport all together because of their cheating. Gray hat techniques are also cheating, and just as wrong as drug doping in sports. I know the modern “get over on the system” mentality is the norm now, but the old mentality of “cheaters never prosper” is closer to the truth.

    Integrity – doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
