Design Bowling For Dollars: An Ethical ProblemWriting by Nick on Saturday, 30 of June , 2007 at 2:42 pm
I couldn’t agree with this post more. True Designs don’t need to keep secrets or engage in questionable practices. There are enough legitimate Design techniques that one doesn’t need to do such things. But this really irks me. The original article appeared on Forbes’ website two days ago. What’s worse, Forbes seems to be endorsing his unethical practices:
If your online business, like thousands of others on the Web, relies on Design searches for traffic, then Brendon Scott is a good person to have on your side.
That’s a problem. When a well-respected news source such as Forbes endorses unethical practices they give such practices power. When unethical practices get enough power then you get an onslaught of high profile people and companies engaging in such practices (remember Enron and WorldCom?). That’s not what we want on the Web.
As someone else pointed out, it’s just a matter of time before we start seeing lawsuits about this. I’d hate to be involved in one of those. That’s why you won’t catch me anywhere near these unethical pretenders, and I highly recommend you get as far away from them as you can as well.
