b5media link building style

[Dazed_and_confused]

Hello
i was surfing the www.problogger.net website and see many irrelevant links placed at the sidebar, just because there were a part of b5media network.

Do you find this way of linking usuful? I'm on 5-6 different categories right now, but i don't link each other, if it's not in the same category.

What's ur thoughts?

Unnatural links will hurt your rankings in a long run once other search engines follow the organic linking system Google adopts.

Keep in mind that our algorithms can distinguish natural links from unnatural links. Natural links to your site develop as part of the dynamic nature of the web when other sites find your content valuable and think it would be helpful for their visitors. Unnatural links to your site are placed there specifically to make your site look more popular to search engines. Some of these types of links (such as link schemes and doorway pages) are covered in our webmaster guidelines.

Only natural links are useful for the indexing and ranking of your site.

How about the service The great link exchange.

I sometimes get irrelevant text links on my site and vice versa. Could this lead to punitive actions by google.

Links pointing to your site cannot hurt you. If they could, we could all link to our competitors to get them penalized.

I need to take a look of how are the links appearing on your site because I don't use their services. Do you put in php codes or javascripts on your site for the links to work? Can you send me your page?
