i have been offered this: 1. A link on all pages of 10,000 sites 2. All sites are on the same c class ip address 3. about 20 sites have a pagerank above 5 they want $2,000 per month does this sound like a good deal?
That will create a very unnatural linking pattern and may get you penalized especially if it's a new site or you don't have many trusted backlinks and then all of a sudden you have 10 000 more from the same c-class. Diversification is key.
you could actually get penalized by Google for having an obvious link spamming campaign, when you go from few to thousands of links in a short time...
bad bad deal ... BTW, even if all those links were on different C class, setting them all at the same time would put you in the sandbox for many months.
You are going to get penalize with this kind of links... Not natural and all at once and same c class IP. $2000 is a lot to risk for maybe no return on investment...
It doesn't matter if you build 100,000 links in one day...what matters is how you get those links. If I come out with a site tomorrow that explains how to cure cancer or how to turn lead into gold...people will link to it like there is no tomorrow. Would it make any sense to penalize me? Absolutely not, I did nothing wrong. I am really amazed that so many people lack the common sense to understand this. The problem is that 99.9% of the time, a website does not have a cure for cancer and is not the next myspace...so most mass link building campaigns are taged as spam because thats what they are. I can guarantee you that if you come up with a revolutionary website and you get 10,000 inbound links in a single day, you will NOT be penalized. A webmaster can not stop people linking to their website...but they can choose to not place 10,000 links on the same IP address. It would be like sending someone a bomb in the mail and putting your return address on the box.
I agree with what you are saying rz but I don't think it applies in this case. What you are talking about is a natural phenomenon in rare cases that are accompanied by press releases and many incoming trusted links from blogs, articles and other citations across many c-classes that make it natural. He's asking whether someone putting 10,000 links across the same c-class is a good idea and I say it's not for any amount of money since it will cause an unnatural spike in links, probably all on the same server and probably not trusted links which are all red flags.
I would stay away from it or just get one link from one site on the same class C block. Also, you might want to check to see if those sites that are hosted on the same class C block link together--which might indicate that it's a place that you don't want your link.
Oh I agree with you Brian...I wasn't referring to any specific post...just making a generalization. I have read posts where people with "SEO" in their name have said that distributing a Press Release is bad because it would cause too many links in a short period of time. My rant was actually targeted towards them. Having all your links coming from the same c-class IP is really unnatural and it will be very easy for SE's to identify it as such.
I would stay away from same class backlinks and anything that will increase your backlinks so quickly.
Yeh definatley, and im guessing all 10,000 sites aren't going to be relevant! You'd be better off going to text-link-ads and textlinkbrokers and get quality/relevant links for the same price
Excellent point! I just did a blog post showing a real life case. ReviewMe launched on November 9th and they now have 19,502 links pointing to them according to Yahoo. Did they get penalized by Google? No - They are the 5th site listed for "paid reviews" in Google. Not too bad. They did this by paying for links, but in a natural looking way. They paid bloggers to blog about them. Resulting in lots of natural looking links from lots of different web sites.
