Consider the following situation: you have an upcoming fundraiser. You have a choice between using rubber silicone wristbands and customizable t-shirts, both of which are good promotional materials. But what promotional material would you prefer? Thought so: you will opt for the rubber silicone wristbands.

Is there a value in buying one way links? Does this cause your site to be flagged by the search engines and considered a spammer?
