Hey guys, Im building links to my website..... and I have about 10 GOOD QUALITY backlinks....... 5 PR3's, 4 PR4's, 1 PR6 authority link I also have about 10-20 PR0's from articles I wrote Now, I realize anchor text is HUGE... so I built about 50 do-follow blog backlinks wih the anchor text My question is this 1) Does google consider the fact that the person writing articles...... might be an SEO person? You think Google would penalize you for having a TON of articles on the ezinearticles.com goarticles.com etc. .... and consider it "Article Spam" 2) Do you think Google has an algorithm that says .... "Wow, this site has 50 blog backlinks, and all are do-follow.... none are no-follow.... also, all use anchor text....... this must be an SEO person, and they should be penalized" 3) Can inbound links even hurt you? Since it would be so easy for a competitor to commit sabotage to your site.
1) Does google consider the fact that the person writing articles...... might be an SEO person? You think Google would penalize you for having a TON of articles on the ezinearticles.com goarticles.com etc. .... and consider it "Article Spam" - I have seen sites with duplicate articles penalized. If content is different, it wont be a problem. 2) Do you think Google has an algorithm that says .... "Wow, this site has 50 blog backlinks, and all are do-follow.... none are no-follow.... also, all use anchor text....... this must be an SEO person, and they should be penalized" I have seen sites that give dofollow tend to rank better as google also considers relevancy. 3) Can inbound links even hurt you? Since it would be so easy for a competitor to commit sabotage to your site. Wont hurt you but can affect you.
inbound links can't hurt you, for the simple reason that google understands that you have little control over people who link to you. The real issue is linking to sites from your own, that are known link farms
They definitely won't penalized you if you have done your SEO well . If the number of links increase gradually, it won't be interpreted as spamming.
Dude.. Google understands that you can not control the incoming links for your site. They will penalize you only if you buy or sell links.. thats all.
Hi, I entirely understand that Google aims at penalizing link trades (buying/selling links) which are popular in the porn industry in particular. But how can the Google spider detect that the inbound links have been purchased? By measuring the content relevancy or by the anchor texts? Or does Google qualify websites as bad neighbourhood that tend to sell a lot of links or that are part of link farms. Could anybody unravel that mystery to me? Would be great!! I have got another related questions to the matter of duplicate content: If somebody is copying my unique content and publishing it at his site(s) -> do Google and other SEs recognize which one has been unique content and which one has copied it? I mean it would be kinda unfair if Google would penalize the originator of unique content just because somebody is copying the content. Does Google compare the date and time of publication between duplicate content published on different URLs? Could that date n time of publication be manipulated (e.g. in Blogs)? I appreciate your help!! Cheers, Bill
Great questions Bill. I wish I had the experience to answer, but also hope to learn from those who do.
