Is Googles ranking method really the best? I use to think it is the best but now I am not so sure. They have a 101 penalties from links acquired too fast to no links at all. They have too many penalties that can be caused by other people, meaning if other people have the power to bring your site down or get penalized, does that really make Googles Method the best? Things other people can do to bring your site down or get penalizes. > Get cheap links for you from bad neighborhoods. > Pay a small fee to get thousands of forum links for you. > Make a few crapy sites with BAD content and give you sitewide links. And these will get you penalized by Google, they have no other way to deal with these. You are guilty, you have to prove yourself innocent. These were just a few example, there are many many other ways. Google relys on links SOO much for ranking and that same factore is what they have little control over....SO they just go around penalizing sites, hoping they will put enough fear in webmasters to never even try to build links that they consider irrelavant or un-natural. BUT someone else will always be able to do link building for you NICE JOB GOOGLE
huh? why would building links be bad? the only ones i know that can potentially damage your serps are from illegal sites such as warez and porn - other links will only help google is retarded now anyway, my serps havnet changed and i have nearly 60,000 backlinks - i only dropped by 1 or 2 on a few keywords but traffic is still great
It gave me the -50 in SERPS for my 10 year old site. If some bad link can do that then I am not sure about their methods. and if it is the links that caused it...then great now everybody can do this for their competetion.
Yes, things like these can bring down a site and Google sucks if they can't fix this. They were the ones who started the Green Bar called PR and said that links was one of the ways to increase it...which created a stir in the SEO community sending many webmasters into orgasms when they had high PR ratings and started selling links based on the Green Bar. Recent reduction in the PR for many sites has woken many SEOs' and webmasters. Bottomline, I know the reduction of the PR has hit the pockets of some webmasters but it is you who helped those Googs by supporting the Green Bar thing and they hit back at you for selling links. So ignore the green bar and look for other ways to monetise your sites other than your page rank. There is life after the Green Bar.
