That math is a little hard to follow. 1 million links = 16666/day 694/hr 11.57/min It may sound difficult, but that's just because you are assuming a single person doing it, and very little to no automation. 99% of the ways you could do it would be blackhat, but there are certainly many ways to do it. You could build a ton of really sophisticated scrapers and rewriters. You could buy big databases and build madlib style sites. Among white hat and expensive ways: You could hire 500 forum posters to make 34 posts a day. You could buy a link in 1000 forum signatures of people with 1000 posts or more. In the purely theoretical sense, not only is it not impossible, its not even that difficult. Practically, however, it requires either extreme programming skills, lots of money, or an extreme lack of morals.
Sure if you don't mind crime reaching into everyones pocket it's great remember...everyone includes you...anytime you pay for anything from a company you are also paying for the companies losses...I would estimate at least 10% of every dollar. How cool is that? Then you pay interest on top of the extra 10% the television manufacturer charge. Nice thoughts... however Google would likely devalue all of the links coming from the same IP address.
if you were giving awat free forum software 5 years ago when the whole discussion thing took off then this is not a dream.
Create a really good product that costs enough that the commission would pay affiliates well, then put it on both Clickbank and PayDotCom. If it is a great product it should build up back links very quickly. Then figure out how many products you would have to create in order get that 1,000,000 backlinks in 60 days. This could be accomplished very quiclkly if you could afford to hire programmers on elance.com to write several different in demand tools. Really... just develop a site that has the specific purpose of finding ways to get people to link back to you for legit reasons... be it for a download (adobe reader), an affiliate program, etc. Is it possible to accomplish in 60 days? I seriously doubt it. You are going to have to have some serious cash to throw around to generate 1,000,000 backlinks in 60 days. You should consider yourself lucky if you could accomplish that in a single year.
Ok I'll make it easy Buy a directory with 1,000,000 links and then redirect it to your site. Can be done in under under 24 hours with enough cash and web host.
Here's what I've done so far... I'm over 10k in back links but it's taken a while. http://miamicarpetcleaning.com/links.htm the main two are below gotlinks.com and linkshighway.net these two do it for you automaticly and they are free. Besides that I post comments on myspace. Michael Owner MiamiCarpetCleaning.Com Sales@MiamiCarpetCleaning.Com Miami Carpet Cleaning
I know you said that the ideas didn't matter with how Google or search engines would treat it, but honestly, I'm assuming you'd like some realistic ideas here. I don't consider anything that is completely black-hat. I would build links the proper way, which can also be the slow way. You could pay someone to do manual directory submissions for you, I know someone who does about 800 directories for a couple hundred bucks. I submit to directories by myself, but if you have the cash, then go for it. You can also create some Blogspot blogs, write up some quick content, and link to your site a few times from those. Besides that, if you know how, you can make money with Blogspot blogs.
I just no longer do the whole recip. link thing. The only sites that will exchange with ya are those that are at/ below your pagerank, and your link gets placed with 100 others on a junk page that nobody will ever visit. I can use that same amount of time building 1 way links that matter. SUPERBLOGGER: I was just hoping to hear some new ideas here, regardless of any effects of applying them. Some really great ones have popped up in this thread. If nothing else, creativity of DP folks is being displayed. :O)
WidgetBucks is a scam anyway. But you are right, if links are built up TOO quickly, it sets off a trigger with Google and they DO notice.
$10mil minimum And since only a few sites have 1,000,000 links... it would likely be a multi billion dollar purchase. I preached for years recips were / are worthless I vote for you you vote for me 1 + 1 = 0 Hold a contest with a $1,000,000.00 grand prize To get a ticket people have to build / have attributed, 100 unique links to your site 10,000 tickets to be distributed Make the offer to Shoe Filisame A Wall D Rowse Chow etc
$10 mil is chump change! lol Recips suck!! The contest idea is unique and worth some thought. It could probably be tweaked to spark some really workable approaches. :O)
