Contextual link building is a great way to achieve SERP, but I think it's going to be die soon. WHY? See bellow.

When a link builder need links (contextual links offcourse, I'm not talking about any other method), they have to hunting bloggers from various source like DP and others active forums or marketplace.

Many people will be agree with me that DP have the best marketplace to get blogger. After creating a thread I get tons of PM, whatever the niche.

But the problem is, quality. Most seller sell anything in there blog. Nobody care about maintaining quality. They needs only money.

And another painful thing is, dropped domain. It's spreading like viruses. Seems, most seller have dropped domain.

I'm giving some example of dropped domain here, may be those seller can angry on me but I don't care :cool:

zyybwg.com - Health blog
hzfish.com - Tech blog but have many finance and health post
rnc-re.com - Health blog but have a post in finance topic
jygxqy.com - Health blog but have post in SEO topic
ncccninc.org - Health blog
prirodnjackimuzej.org - Health Blog

Many buyers taking links from these type of blogs, they don't care about the domain name and the topic of the blog. Only links they need.

And those owner selling a blog post in very cheap. Because, they did not spent any money for their link building to gain PR. They just paid a domainer for a PR domain and started a blog. Now sell and take money.

Simple math, huh?

For this simple math, this super link building method is gonna die soon.

I do remember 2005, 2006 and 2007 when directory was one of the top method of link building. Then massive people came to this industry with simple math. And then? Quality dropped and Google reduced the value of directory listing. Now these days directory listing is almost out of counting.

Still we have time to save this super method, just avoid these sellers. Don't buy link from them. They'll get lesson and will build good quality blogs for selling post.

Just my 2c, drop your comments guys :)

A good view towards contextual links, most buyers who are buying links for themselves and know about SEO are careful while buying such links.

It's newbie webmasters and SEO just want to buy links to earn commission who buy from such blogs. Many people have been using dropped domains to make money - directories, bidding directories, pixel ads, blog posts etc. so this is not a new thing. What makes these techniques for making money work is that many webmasters don't know they are being duped.

BTW, I don't think contextual links would 'go away', bad links are not useful right now they will continue to be useless in future.

Thanks for your input. But think again about directory season.

IMO, everybody need to take lesson from past :)
