That file opens their entire site to scrutiny from other ruthless seo's. As for not knowing what I'm talking about... well, whatever you say dude. Your site gets a lot more attention than mine from SE's so you must be right. Quadzilla. Strictly white hat?? And quality content you may have, but what that content teaches is spam, plain and simple. Ads. Duncan doesn't use blind affiliate links within his posts here, which is what I referred to in my origional comment.

These guys are amatures trying to look cool and make a few sales of the latest commercial software through blind affiliate links. No self respecting black hat would show off their <a href="http://seoblackhat.com/robots.txt" rel="nofollow">robots.txt</a> file like this.
