I second that outsourcing linkbuidling to India is a pure pain and waste of time and (maybe less per hour) money. We tried to outsource over the past 3 yrs and always got links not matching our specifications - in fact some of those indians were even hurting reputation (e.g. "This is not a spam mail... bla bla")
RE: "not working in live" - well the linkdomain commands were turned off by MSN ages ago
Thanks Dave, but all credits go to Johannes Beus of SISTRIX (a german SEO company)
Is this a fake? I don't see that "No Follow Class" in any of the webmaster console accounts I manage for my own stuff and clients
Hey Dixon! This is a great post and I love your ideas... we had similar issues with scrapers and proxy sites, including some "big brand tool site" that was stealing our content
what a crappy tool... the pr checksum algo was cracked like 4 yrs ago, and even tough this tool shows PR10 for all ofmy pages... plus JohnWeb is 100% right
So why are you bitching at Jim and Aaron actually?
Jim's point was that a PR block by Google for link sellers will never stop them selling links,
simply because they don't know about it (like Halfdeck correctly added)
nough said... the rest of this whole thread is filler.
Amazing one Loren! I really like how in THIS case - where Google obviously earns $ for the traffic to the hitcounter sites that spamming works like a charm even still 5 months after the tactic being posted on Matt's blog
@Feydakin: they ARE paid links... they paid Google Adwords to get people to put the counters on their sites
Hey Dave,
thanks for feedback - I agree that the article title does not precisely reflect all aspects I wanted to discuss in there... in fact I had a lengthier one before but chose to make it a bit more catchy so people have to digg into it to find out what I mean...
Is renaming the article title here possible BTW?
best,christoph
sorry to hear about Robin's site tanking in traffic.
But I see two major issues with his current situation still
1) while he communicates he learnt his lesson regarding Text Link Ads and bash them, he a) still runs TLA ads b) still runs AT LEAST one or two other link broker networks that are A LOT spamier than text link ads IMHO (and may be the cause of your ranks dropping essentially)
2) it's the old "all eggs in one basket" problem ,as Robin already talks about laying off people after 7 days of tanking ranks... wow... that's not a stable operation after 5 years...
And frankly, the link boxes in his footer carrying TLA ads and besides that two other link networks, DO LOOK spammy
I agree - just because your commenter doesn't want to disclose it's id, it doesn't mean you may ignore him.
