Britecorp Linking Program

Hi I Brian,

Quick quiz..

As I recall, you're offering 50 links a day. You mention wide distribution, low PR pages etc. My question: are each of the links on seperate sites *(domains with seperate IP's)*, or are you using lots of internal pages across a number of sites ?

I'm simply trying to figure out your unique selling proposition. Please do forgive if already mentioned in the thread.. I read it a while ago and don't want to go over it all again

Cheers,

JL

 

brian has corrected the email issue. thanks for prompt resolution..

 

Apologies for that - I had the billing e-mail address on my records and it was different - now updated and e-mail sent.

 

Those who want to build their own IBLNs, or would just like to have a clearer picture of the potential pitfalls, might want to read DP thread

I'm not quite sure what you regard as a pitfall - but if you're concerned about a IBLN (a term I coined ) being penalised (and I thank you for your concern ) then do note that the Britecorp Link Network is set to cover 100 C class IPs - so an ARIN check will simply confirm the obvious - the the domain in question is on a shared IP, along with a few hundred other unrelated sites.

Of course, there is always the danger of an automated WHOIS check trying to track all your sites down - such as all those involved in a IBLN (I'm not sure if Bob Massa had some sites penalised this way). However, many domain registrars now offer services for keeping personal details from the public WHOIS record. I actually practice this as a matter of choice on my non-business domains anyway, after having a run in with some Neo-nazis in Belgium on one of my reference sites.

Overall, the Link Network is set up to protect the confidentiality of clients, and every effort is made to stay within the Google Webmaster Guidelines - so that there is every effort to ensure that links on the networks are perceived as legitimate text link adverts, even if the pages themselves are low PR.

 

Yes, I know. Good term.

Thomas.

Hello Compar, can i ask u what u think just now about this service?
any positive or negative opinion (For me is very important to know YOUR opinion)

thx

 

alexo - please read the whole thread before you post... compar has already weighed in (post #6 on this thread).

 

I read it .. it was 1 months ago or more...
i need to know his opinion now . .. hope u understand what i mean !

 

There are no results on the Link Network itself, as yet - Google has only just entered the network.

Deep indexing could take a few weeks, plus possible sandboxing in Google on top.

So no results are expected reported for a while.

 

I, Brian... do you mean google has not yet indexed your ibln but has just started? If so, that's fair enough... might even be optimal they don't find you too fast, as this would appear more natural...

In addition to the "sandboxes" you warned about, there may also be a "link" sandbox to look out for. IE, backlinks from your IBLN wouldn't be counted for a while, regardless of whether the IBLN is out of the sanbox or not. Sandboxes as far as the eye can see...

I think I read about the link sandbox on

a long, not very current, but in my opinnion valuable thread.

Thomas.

 

The link sandboxing is actually the one I'm warning about - but to be honest, no one really understands exactly what's involved, and Google appears to deny all knowledge of it existing.

Effects should be apparently on Yahoo and MSN in good time, but obviously Google is the search engine people expect to see results on - and that's where most patience is apparently going to be most required.

 

Does anyone have any real evidence to prove or disprove that this scheme helps. I seem to keep reading "wait a few weeks" or "stuck in the sandbox" - what i am looking for is someone that created a site with good onpage SEO but done no link campaign whatsoever, except joining this campaign.

 

I think by the time it's been proved that it works, it's too late. Everybody will be getting on the band wagon, and that will decrease the effectiveness.

It's all about google making seo operators sweat.

I think there's a good chance it would work though.

Thomas.

 

I must say something I have thought about whist looking in DMOZ for link partners how many free website operators (geocities) are not maintained yet have a high PR - 5+. If someone could take the time to create unique 5-10 page websites in a load of categories and and get 20 link exchanges for each one, you could then link back to your main site and get a large boost. I'm sure this kind of operation would be good for people in competitive fields and I guess it already goes on to a certain degree.

The only thing that stopped me was that if google ever did bring in a relevance factor in its algo for incoming links, these sites would be worthless.

 

Any news? How is it working out for you?

 

There are signs that this exists.


If you were to create a directory of the category and link into it from a relevant page to a relevant page you have established something that is not worthless...then link that to a relevant site.

 

Have there been any demonstrable advantages to this yet ?

Anyone actually seeing some ROI ?

 

If I may make a general answer: SEO in general has never been about getting quick results - lots of patience is always required. And the sandbox just requires a little more. I wouldn't expect to see any reports from the Link Network for a good few weeks yet. But once results do come in, they should be pretty steady.

 

Hi All,

It's been pretty much exactly 9 weeks since I commenced the linking program. I thought I'd give some results so far, links are to a second level page of my site. This page didn't rank anywhere before commencing the program:

timesheets - ranking 12
time sheet - ranking nowhere
time Sheets - ranking no where

So as you can see I've moved up nearly into the top 10 with a term that has 67 wordtracker searches per day, and moved nowhere with a term with 53 searches per day, and nowhere with a term with 200 wordtracker searches per day.

I'm going to give this another 2 months and re-evaluate (which will take the total cost to 200 pounds) to give the 'sandbox' effect a chance to dissappear.

Cheers,
