Hello i was surfing the www.problogger.net website and see many irrelevant links placed at the sidebar, just because there were a part of b5media network. Do you find this way of linking usuful? I'm on 5-6 different categories right now, but i don't link each other, if it's not in the same category. What's ur thoughts?
Unnatural links will hurt your rankings in a long run once other search engines follow the organic linking system Google adopts.
How about the service The great link exchange. greatlinkexchange.com/ I sometimes get irrelevant text links on my site and vice versa. Could this lead to punitive actions by google.
Links pointing to your site cannot hurt you. If they could, we could all link to our competitors to get them penalized.
I need to take a look of how are the links appearing on your site because I don't use their services. Do you put in php codes or javascripts on your site for the links to work? Can you send me your page?
