Why Links From A Word Cloud Sites Are Worthless

May I also state that I am the owner of a few word cloud website. I try to make them Quality word cloud website.

Less then 100 links as per google quality guidelines, build as many incoming links, gain PR ( Must I say that the last 4 word cloud I made gained PR6 from PR0 in 4 months). I dont use drop domains except once. Build domain from scratch. People use my sites to index fast their site.

Also, I have a website that ranks 3 out of 184 millions result for Permanent text links.

I believe I am doing something right for Google since I get the PR and the SERP.

Some people have reported having bought only 4 PR4 links from a word cloud website and their website scored a PR3 on the next update, and they SERP well for their keywords. These links were bought on PR4 clouds site with over 150 outbound links.

Altough the logic says it shouldnt be worth it, some people are getting benefits.

Yes I do gain some money, but I also invest in sites.

 

Let the market decide the value. Ultimately you can't really convince people like that. Some think this but others think differently.

I wonder alex really had a strategy or plan how his pixel site should be run when he started. It was probably just an idea he wanted to try and see. I bet many thought it was a stupid idea while so many others thought it was unique and worth the purchase.

 

As minstrel said, "The link BUYERS are not getting 50 to 250 visits per day - the SELLER is getting those visitors. See above."

Dakuipje, do the math - 50 - 250 visits per day divided by 500 keywords is on average, .1 - .5 visits per day to each keyword. Wow, 1/10 of a visitor per day! On a good day 1/2 a visitor! Woohoo!

Let's break it down even more. That would average out to 7/10 - 3.5 visitors per week, 2.8 - 14 visitors per month, or 36.5 - 182.5 visitors per year. Wow! What a great investment! You could get that for free with a number of other free marketing methods.

"Quality word cloud website"? That's an oxymoron - it doesn't exist!

TO ALL WORDCLOUD SITE OWNERS: Stop polluting the internet with your spammy sites.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself

 

Bravo to both of you. It's nice to see that there are still a few members of this forum who are not lemmings or naive suckers!

 

But new ideas often beat old ones Word TagCloud Keyword Directory

Dumb ideas are beaten out by even dumber ideas...

 

I guess I would like to hear a reason or two for your comment.

 

in my opinion i think they are just as the same as link farms, because all they display is links, and they are probably not relevant to your site either.

 

One of the best ways I've found to get indexed fast is to put a signature link for the domain on a site like DP - it's free to do too!

Therefore, I agree with those who say that cloud sites are spammy. A site like linkexperiment.com worked for a while because it got attention (ergo some traffic!) but 99.9% of these keyword cloud sites get the buyers no traffic, no PR benefit (eg. PR6 / 100+ links = almost worthless), no relevance, and no indexing advantage over sites like this one.
