Natalia's Diamonds sneaking in via comments
One way to increase the ranking in Google or other search engines is for a webpage to link and be linked to. For some companies, this is a challenge.
Challenging especially when you are in a business that sells high value products, such as jewellery or diamonds, you are not as "famous" or "reputable" as Amazon.com or an EBay.
It seems AlwaysWoW has been found worthwhile by a company to be used as "link base".
In an older entry of mine a diamond company commented, totally unrelated to the original entry. Sprinkled in the comment are a variety of different links as well.
I leave it as it is, but please, dear Natalia, I am linking back to you. I don't like spamming, or sneaking in. It is unethical. And anyone who will search for Natalia's Diamonds on the web will also find this entry. And once they read it, they might think twice of shopping at your side.

Interesting, I was trying to find out who it was that I had linked to that had decided to start spamming my web address into peoples blogs, and I think you've just highlighted the culprit for me, as I'm finding my web address turn up in entries about the holocaust etc too. I despise spam and the annoyance it causes to people I really didn't want to keep finding my details turning up in peoples blogs. Time to delink from a certain diamond company obviously!!

Natalia's Diamonds recently spammed the comment section on my site, but did so using the topic of the holocaust. The HOLOCAUST... to sell JEWELRY?! The post was "A newspaper in Iran is now holding a cartoon contest called iran holocaust cartoons. Iran made Holocaust denial government policy when Iran foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in December that remarks made by the Iran president that the Nazi mass murder of Jews during World War II was a myth."
Of course, it had links in the middle of that to Natalia's Jewelry site. Very low and very shady. I wonder if someone in NYC sees this if they could check out the location on Natalias contact page ( 23 West 47th Street) to see if that buinsess is actually even located there. I doubt it.

If the major search engines cannot recognize quality without being smacked in the face with it then so be it. Nataly is probably one of those mom and pop’s sites that fights back. She does not stand still watching "fake authority", MFAs and junk blogs outrank her just because they use can unethical techniques to increase their link popularity and she cannot.
Lets face it - organic link development does not work in commercial sector. The only legitimate way for a new business to enter internet market is thru online advertising. However if you have limited resources you are doomed to fail in the fight with corporate America that dominates online advertising.
Perhaps, just like many others, Nataly does what it takes to succeed it this imperfect world and I applaud her for it.

Maybe you should manually edit every comment before they are posted. That's an extra task to do :)
