I for one love the nimbleness and humor Lauren has taken on this. But to address your concerns - "The human capacity to rationalize bad behavior is amazing." True that :) "Making lying and cheating the search engines into a version of the ninja honor code is definitely creative, but it doesn’t make you any less lacking in ethics" We Build Pages was engaged heavily in such manipulation, which could be seen as unethical on a billion levels. We are no longer engaged in it. Game over. Lauren is a link ninja who has a wonderful intelligence, outstanding work ethic, and clearly is a great writer as well. She represents the employees of We Build Pages well. We are fortunate to have so many amazing people working with us and so are our clients.
