Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Ryan, my "conspiracy theory radar" lit up when I come across those links.

I think i'll call the newspaper today.

It's the website of a major UK national broadsheet newspaper Ryan. I'm not doubting the quality of the website.

The links are not relevant to the discussion, it would not be classed as a further reading resource.

Am I the only one who finds these links strange?

So I was doing some research in OSE and come across links in different articles on the independent.co.uk. There are more than three but I have included three below. Do a find for "blinds" on the articles.

What I find interesting is that each article has a different author. Which probably rules out a friend doing a favour. As far as I can see, of all the many different types of advertising programmes the Independent has, this is not one of them. Which begs the question, how are they getting these links?
