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.
10 Ways Google Can Spot Paid Links
With all of their spidering and datacenter power, it should be very easy for Google to spot paid links. However, they continue to give top 10 rankings to sites having nothing but obvious paid backlinks.
To make things easy for Google engineers, I have created a top 10 list on how to spot paid links. Read more
An Example of Where Not to Buy Links
Money hungry bloggers never cease to amaze me. Here you have another blog bragging about selling text links and advertising just about every link program under the sun. Do link buyers on John Chow’s blog really think that his links have any value other than putting money in his pocket? The saddest part is what he is making is not even worth bragging about 
Please, link buyers use your common sense, don’t buy links from a site like his, at best you are flushing money down the toilet, at worst you risk being labeled as a text link buyer.
Buyers – if you want to save money and get actual results use the Jazz Link Buy Rule: Purchase links in the existing content of great websites related to your site that don’t look like (or advertise) they sell links. Buyer wins, seller wins.
Blogger’s that sell Worthless Links
I will add this to my new Stupid Bloggers category, along with my stupid bloggers post. Actually it should be stupid greedy bloggers but space is limited…
I came across this post today on how to block people from viewing your plugins directory so they can’t snitch on you to Google that you are a PAID LINK SELLER. Read more
Google Loves Crap Paid Links
Over the past few weeks, either Google removed their filters to block sites that buy 10,000s of worthless links, or someone found a way to exploit a Google weakness. This Google shitstorm is making me sound pretty darn stupid. At Buy Sell Links I preach that if you must buy links, buy relevant links, preferably in content on high quality sites. Read more
Text Link Broker Reveals Where They Sell Links
I recently noticed a new text link broker, www.linking-service.com, is ranking very well. Funny thing is, I never heard of them and all of a sudden they have some great rankings. So I started doing some backlink analysis and was very surprised at what I saw. It seems they are buying links (or just placing their links for free) on all of their publishers sites. Read more
Stupid Bloggers Bragging About Selling Links
If you want to buy text link ads, do not buy links on a blog that brags about how much money they are making selling links. Most likely they are no longer passing Pagerank so you would be buying a worthless link from them in addition to putting your site at risk. It amazes me how some people just don’t get it when it comes to buying and selling text links. I guess that’s one reason I started this blog.
STAY away from these bloggers that don’t care about their advertiser’s success and only care about how much money they are taking from you for their worthless links. Don’t fall victim to their stupidity – if you buy links, you want to do it under the radar and definitely not a blogger that openly brags about selling text links.
Text Link Buyer Pagerank Obsession
Newspaper Text Links
There was a time about 3 years ago when a newspaper text link ad on a site such as http://www.sfgate.com/ would help your link popularity, giving your website a quick boost in the SERPs. Pagerank passing on blocks of sponsored links at the newspaper websites has been stopped long ago, so unless you are hoping for click throughs you are most certainly wasting your money.
Still, newbies continue to buy newspaper website links Read more
