Has anyone thought about the fact that you're providing a link to an unknown site from yours, and the possible ramifications from search engines to linking to bad neighborhoods?

I had signed up after request from a fellow blogger, but when I saw the links on the widget on his site, I decided against installing it until I saw improved results. 4 of 5 links went to spammy sites. Obviously I wasn't the only one commenting on it, and they took things to extreme and became overzealous in their attempt to redeem themselves. Your site is a perfect example of their lack of judgement, whilst I still see spammy and non-related links in the widget at other blogs. I'm so glad I didn't waste time and space on it. Consider yourself rid of a bad concept and be happy for it ;-) Yours wasn’t the only quality blog that they dumped through bad judgement on their part, as you apparently know.
