As I see some websites have nearly no SEO but ranked very top #1-5 at their targeted keywords with only use payperpost to buy links from blogs. Anyone here tried to report those sites to google? Any changes for the search result after reporting them?
It's hard to crack down on payper post links especially if the site which benefited has quality content and got variety of links from other sources. Moreover unless the blogger says this is a paid review, it's not easy to identify which posts are paid posts and which one are regular posts done by the blogger. Google may eventually crack down on these things. But at this point of time, it could be hard.
first, i dont like to be a snitch second, i have way better things to do than investigating people's link building practice and report them to google.
Blog post reviews are hardest paid links to detect (for bots and humans alike). Unless it's a network of blogs posting the same articles with same links etc. it won't work even if you report it to google.
