Right, I agree with you =]. Guess when I said "we're considering", I meant "a company pitched this idea to us". I feel the same way and it bothers me that companies have begun flooding the Internet with this kind of stuff...just makes everything more difficult to find.

Bryan, I'm skeptical that this strategy will be effective and generally think it's a bad idea since it's basically trying to trick the search engines. The value of inbound links is directly proportional to the ranking of the pages those links are coming from. The pages being created by the company you mentioned are likely to have a very low ranking themselves, thereby giving you little value for your time and money. As your website says, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing well..." So spend the time and money asking for legitimate links to your sites instead, along with other standardized SEO techniques.
