Recently I wrote a blog about how inbound marketing can enable sales teams to sell more, faster.

As with certain posts, there were people commenting and we had a pretty good dialog going around this topic. Then, I came across this comment-(I underlined where they had links, keep in mind this was a blog about sales and inbound marketing):
@ Fri July 09, 2010 @ 03:11 AM tiffany jewellery (-hidden-) said...
As with any kind of insurance, the right engagement tiffany necklace insurance makes financial sense. Insurance give you some tiffany necklaces for your monetary investment and gives you peace of mind in case tiffany bracelet the engagement ring is lost or stolen. While you may not be able to replace the sentimental tiffany bracelets value connected with the ring, at least you’ll be able to get tiffany ring a replacement ring without too much of a financial burden.  
 
Most homeowner's and renter’s policies come with tiffany rings jewelry coverage as part of the over-all policy. The limit for the coverage tiffany uk is usually low, typically in the range of $1,000 to $5,000, after the policy deductible tiffany and co is met. If you have fine jewelry such an expensive diamond engagement ring that is worth more that tiffany jewellery the limit of the coverage, you need to pay an additional premium to buy additional coverage for the ring.

All of the links led back to an online store selling jewlery.

The moral of the story, if you are looking to be self-serving you are not an inbound marketeer. Furthermore, these types of practices are exactly why you should only work with people in the inbound marketing community that are certified and are committed to the cause.

Looking at comments posted like this really makes me think about the ethics and whether moves like this are ethical, aside from being disingenious.

What do you think? Is this by any means necessary and ethical?
