I agree, except I call it "total" garbage. Not only do many of these sites remove your link, but they catch on to the fact that something strange is happening when they suddenly get a million registered users out of nowhere (as any good webmaster would) and turn off registrations. On top of that, this method is on the black edge of gray hat.... of course, you could ride the wave and hope Google won't get smarter and start hitting these backlinks, but I don't do anything that can be seen as foolishly risky.
Imagine google crawling these sites and seeing hundreds of the same links mysteriously appearing on each one of these domains. google is not stupid and these links will be worthless.
this adhocads.com site was a good reading. is there any other good reading material available plz let us know ???
You guys are not using them properly. They do work, you just need to use profile link packets that have a very limited subscription, follow the instructions they give EXACTLY, and learn how to get them indexed and keep them indexed.
I've done it for over 2 months and saw absolutely nothing happen, and I've followed their directions.
I would recommend just doing the linking yourself. Paying for backlinks almost never works, and there are way more scammers out there than real backlinkers. Also, if the links get taken down or changed to no-follow, do you think they really care?
