Is it a coincidence that when I started using LinkMarket my website dropped from Google search page one to page 50. Was this because Google’s algorithm changed or the fact that Google disapproves of services such as Link Market? Has anyone else had the same situation?
I thing you have good numbers of followers on your twitter a/c. If you want to take advantages from your followers, first you need to check their interest. You need to have participated in conversations with people with a lot of followers. Try to post always interesting and useful information. You should have to retweet interesting posts again.
It might be LinkMarket or maybe you added to many links from your site. Of course there are other factors and it might just be a coincidence.
Excessive Link Exchanges: Yes, I know that I recommend link exchanges for new websites and I also know that Google discourages the practice. But although their guidelines are ambiguous, their actions are easier to interpret. Limit your link exchanges to related, good quality sites. A couple of dozen is all you need to get your site on the right track, not hundreds or thousands. Don't do massive exchanges through automated programs that create link exchange directories on your site. They don't improve your rankings and are likely to reduce Google's level of trust for your site. Trust is a term you will run into more and more as you study Search Engine Optimization. Both Google and Yahoo! use that term.
There's also another thread regarding Linkmarket. Try to use Automaticbacklinks (dot) com , they have a nice system but you get links based on PR . in mainstream it's easier to get backlinks so try not using linking programs to much.
That's what I was thinking haha anyways... LinkMarket isn't a very good service for your money site, unless you are manually searching for the best link partners on the site and review every request that you get. Don't just accept them all. I don't use LinkMarket for my money site, I just use it for a secondary blog that I set up for every site, or client's site, that I market for, and it works great.
