Google PageRank Update was a Non-Event
After this PageRank update was finished, sites that dropped one point in PageRank basically stayed the same. All that Google did was turn the PageRank meter up a bit driving the average PageRank down by one point across the web. So a PR7 has the same value as a PR8 one week ago. Read more
Masive Link Packages Rocking in Google
Everyday I study the Google SERPs and continue to be happily amazed. I find it ironic that for all the tough paid link talk, Google seems to love crappy paid links more than ever. Link buyers with new sites that bought those 1,000 -10,000 non relevant link packages over the past 6 months are happy as pigs in slop as many are ranking with the big boys now.
Normally turnover on these packages is fairly high as new webmasters give up after three or four months without measurable results. Now that they are killing the SERPs non-renewals are almost non-existent over the past 4 months.
Still, I have to think this complete loss of the ability to manage link spam is a temporary Google glitch (one that can make someone several thousand dollars in the right niche). It is also a great opportunity for those that have 100,000s of links to sell because SEOs are buying up as many links as possible for their clients.
It’s funny, I’ll see an SEO preach about buying high quality relevant links and they are the first ones to buy up all the garbage links - I think they know what I am seeing and don’t want to let the cat out of the bag. Let the competitors run scared while they slash and burn.
But stubbornly I stick to my mantra (for now) - Buy links in the existing content of relevant websites.
Text-Link-Ads Banned by Google
Yes, I know this is old news. However what is a bit strange is that everyone in the SEO community knows about it but very few have written about what happened and why. The question that lingers is why was Text-Link-Ads banned (or perhaps penalized)? Why was one of the original text link brokerages banned by Google while others were untouched? At SES, there were two theories floating around: Read more
Did Matt Cutts Kill the Text Link Business?
He tried his scare tactics. Buy links and you will be punished. Many green webmasters have been scared off never to have their websites found because they want to tow the Google company line. However, the SEO experts know no links = no ranking. I have never seen more interest by MAJOR SEOs in buying text links than at the latest SES San Jose Conference.
Countless $5,000 per month plus text link ad deals were cut by the various link brokers at the conference. In fact, I noticed the text link sellers had the deepest lines of interested attendees. Especially hot - Contextual Text Links. Read more
This Site Banned (censored) By Google
It didn’t take them long. I woke up today to find buyselllinks.com banned by Google. This only confirms they don’t want the truth about text links to be spread. So if you found this site, please bookmark it so you can make it back to learn the truth about text link ads.
Contextual Text Links – In Context Text Links
Since they are a new concept in text link ad buying, I thought I should define ‘contextual text links’ or ‘in context text links’.
These links are standard search engine friendly HTML based links in the middle of relevant content that both human visitors and search engines can follow. When you buy links, the key is to get links that the search engines perceive as ‘natural’ and follow the link to your site and count the link as a vote to your site.
I should also note the services like Kontera or Intellitxt sell JavaScript based contextual ads - not contextual text links. While you may get some clicks, the search engines completely ignore JavaScript contextual ads as paid ads so they will not help your natural search engine rankings.
