Hello to all and i'm glad I found this forum Although I'm new to this site, I'm not new to field. The good news is I'm not trying to ask for a link-back, but to share with you a couple of wrong ways to link building. It really surprises me why people who want to earn a living online unethically can't get a real job? Now, I don't want to be upset at my first post, so I will use some discretion Just by accident, I came across a freelance site where people post projects and others show willingness to do the job. What really caught me was these 2 postings that by the way received many bids. "First, you will need to register at each site 20 times. So this is 2,000 registrations total. You will be given 20 easy-to-remember "users" (emails/usernames/passwords) to register with. Every User will have their own set of links, 10 links per user. All those links will need to be added under User1 account on all 100 sites. " Using 20 unique IPs and 5 different user names (5 per IP) do 100 submission to each of the following {ommitted site names}: -Manual submissions only -No Spamming -20 submissions maximum to each site per each day over 4 days, one submission per each unique IP -submit links and your user names to verify So how do you survive online when you're competing with the wolf?
how useful it is to do what they are doing ? and how much money they pay each time for this service ?
This is so unethical, but as things change larger companies will always find a way to pay to get to the top, theres just no way around it
They may benefit from link popularity, but serach engines such as Google and Yahoo are become more and more aware of this black-hat technique.
Generally SEs finds this black hat techniques and I found many sites loosing PRs. I am quite associated with freelance sites for many different works like seo also one among them. As long as you are following ethical ways no problem. What you have given is one example. But do you know anybody who thinks of serious socializing and partly advertizing with myspace and facebook sites? He will be mad!! Because of fake profiles. On these freelance sites only I have seen people are asking for 2k-5k profiles on myspace or facebook and bidders are just bidding at 30 bucks for 1k accounts! But on freelance sites I found fantastic programmers relating to designing, web promotion, seo, article writing etc. We need healthy competition...
What they are doing is altering their link profile. Your search terms should look like a natural logarthythm (hope I spelled it right). A gentle curve of keywords. When You do SEO this develops "steps" in the profile. Thse people are filling the steps so to speak which the bots like.
