      Felicity, I wouldn't necessarily bunk it in the black-hat category, but it's certainly grey.

      Clearly you're not just offering a paid link, you're also creating some content, which is good.. But your site is making it clear that the user is paying for a link within a blog article.

      Your site clearly isn't spammy and it's got a good general feel to it. As to whether google would penalise your outbound links (if they happened to come across your site), not sure. It's not like your putting links up for who-ever wants them, as you're also seeking a degree of relevancy. Tough one to call

            ha Shelly love your segue - now this is an interesting issue indeed - a garden as an investment - yes - all for it - a garden can be an extension to the living areas of a house....there has been a transition in people's approach to outdoor space and the spend - totally in my niche - would love it -

              ahh ..people who ask for links are probably not the people reading my blog...which is where I ask for the blog submsisions ...but having said that I have had a blog submission heading on the top menu since february - the text only changed today - it use to make a strong plea for articles...

              ..all my submissions come through networks i have established ..usually tweeter ...so perhaps i am not on the radar...........

                  That's probably a good thing, making a strong plea for articles can give off the wrong impression and potentially put people off making them. People may question why you are so keen for articles.

                        Felicia, tell them to get fu#*$@ if they don't want to write content.

                        Charging is a great idea too.
