Backlinks? This has worked for me...........

I had the opportunity to add a couple of my sites to a free download template. I have noticed that so far my backlinks have doubled. I was told this was just the beginning.

 

In my opinion building backlinks with WordPress templates for example is a bit risky.
Google might decide to ban you especially if you place some keyword rich anchor text like "real estate chicago".

 

No these are PHP directory templates

 

So If I wanted to I could knock out my competition by buying them a sponsored template? Does anyone want to get me banned by buying me a few sponsored template spots too?

 

Yes, that's by bring them millions of spam-like footer links. But then again that would cost you a fortune.

 

So half a million is ok then? And how much is a fortune? I'm sure companies like BMW can afford to sponsor a bunch of templates to take down lets say every other car manufacturer.

 

Good for you.. wish you all the best

 

Can you please tell us where we can build templates ? What is the url of the PHP dir designed ?

Thanks .

 

From what I see you don't agree... but I'm pretty sure some sites got penalized in Google for sponsoring WordPress templates.
And I'm not talking about doshdosh here. I'm talking about webmasters using high traffic keywords as anchor text.

 

I may have to look into this.

 

it is ok as long they not use the template for illegal content

 

I probably shouldn't have posted the idea of having a footer link on a directory template but what I had in mind was giving people an idea in getting backlinks.
The way I added my link to a couple of templates was, I know the guy that built the templates and he added my links. I have 40 websites but only added a couple of links. Wishing I had more money to add the rest of my sites. I do have a social bookmarking site and I know people already know thats a good place to advertise but I was looking for MORE!!!!!!! Thanks guys
