Google to Webmasters: Reciprocal Linking will get you BANNED!

I agree. This is also one type of natural linking for me.

 

I agree. Google cannot monitor and try and control the internet like this.

If they do inforce it, I will support yahoo 100% and probably come off the AdSense programme, and close ALL my google accounts.

 

Google = Propaganda

Seriously anyone who thinks this is true should PM me and I will help you find professional counseling.

Matt Cutts & Google have to lie to stop people from manipulating the search rankings.

Call it a line of defense if you will, but Google lies straight faced, while hiding behind "Do no evil"

Lastly the video mentions nothing about exchanging links

Seems the OP is looking to get people to his blog......

 

LOL..All of us "Cannot do evil" but they (google) has "special rules" regarding what they mean by "Do no evil" when it comes to themselves. There should be a larger authority (perhaps made up of webmasters or those who vote for them to forum a Consortium of sorts ) that they must get approval from before such drastic decisions are made or attempted to be passed upon.

 

You do not know how right you are believe me.

They actually allow a competing search engine to spam their index and it's huge, easy to uncover and allowed to continue.

They have allowed this search engine to spam them for at least five years that I have been able to dig up.

The problem is the search engine owns quite a few very large websites and they each spend in excess of $5,000,000.00 each per year in Adwords.

So Google is not going to stop them from spamming the SERPs when they are spending in excess of $50 Million per year in paid ads.

However that is getting off topic.... not that the topic has any validity...

 

Google is just plain stupid if they banned all of us (who doing recriprocal links). If we only permitted to get natural back link, most of those links won't boost our SERPs. Do you know most of natural backlinks have no correct anchor text? Example: "click here" or your domain name? How can a website with no link exchange get good SERPs in competitive keywords? All of us will only competing in one keyword which is "click here".

How funny google is..

 

Actually Google could care less if any website ranks well in the organic results.

The only care Google has comes when it is making money such as Paid Ads via Adwords.

Organic SERPs are an expense Google abides so they can display their paid ads.

 

Google is big hypocrite,for very simple reason-they bother webmasters with relevancy yet again you can buy at adword any keyword you want no matter do you have relevant site or not.

 

Also i think they cannot ban you even if you excesive reciprocal.For example there are sites with fully automated link exchanges which function on following way:You upload php file on your domain,and that php file shows links from other people in network.Since that php file doesnt change content on rest of site,google cannot detect that.

 

This is just one more reason to boycott Google altogether

 

I remember a day when Yahoo was the big search engine..Google may seem superior but that can be taken away they are not invincible. MSN may have a shot wait until the day that msn search comes as a plug in in microsft office etc...It could happen.

 

This is hilarious. Google is the largest reciprocal link exchanger on the web.

Think of how many people link to Google, and when you consider that technically Google links to EVERY indexed site on the web, its not an exaggeration to say that Google is probably the LARGEST reciprocal link abuser on the net.

Getting even more technical, isn't Google itself a link farm?

This sh!t just makes me smile.

For those complaining - drop your Adwords and Adsense accounts and look for revenue the old fashioned way. I've done this, and its worked out fantastically. I can't yet live without the Google traffic, but I'm not throwing my dollars their way. Google checkout, Froogle, Adwords, Adsense, etc., etc, etc. - I've dumped it all. I can survive without Google, but can they survive without us?

 

what? Of course they should care. They depend on users and if google can't satisfy their users, they will dead. That's search engine. If google care less about who ranked well in competitive keywords, yahoo or msn or whoever smart will take their domination.

 

i wonder if google has a max of outgoing links per page

 

i guess no?how will someone determine wht is the max amount for such links?

 

I wouldn't take down my reciprocal links. They are still effective but I don't believe its a good stragey to build one of those reciprocal link directories that you attach to your site. Google is targeting reciprocal link exchanges and reciprocal links are being discounted. Its good startegy to build a balanced link profile.

Of course anything that Matt Cutts says, you will have to take with a grain of salt. His priority is Google's best interests not yours.

In my opinion Yahoo created the current situation where Google is king. First, Yahoo became powered by google in 2000 and gave google oportunity. Then later, within a year, Yahoo succeeded in killing a good part of the competition to google. Here's a timeline:


Inktomi, which licensed to MSN purchsed by Yahoo late 2002
Overture bought Fast (alltheweb.com) February 2003
Overture bought Alta Vista April 2003
Yahoo purchase Overture July 14, 2003
Yahoo drops Google February 17, 2004

 

Just to clarify a few statements

Google = search engine. Leader in PPC however made a recent large purchase to try and take on Yahoo.

Yahoo = Portal # 1 traffic destination site. Happens to have a search engine feature. Dominates Display Advertising. (Google is trying to compete)

Msn = Portal - highly trafficed - also has a search engine feature.

In order to understand any of the three one must understand the core business model.

For example

Yahoo users are on the site in excess of 30 minutes on each visit

Google users are on the site a whopping 6 minutes each visit. Up 2 minutes from 4 minutes, approximately 2 years ago.

Who's playing catchup ????

 

Yahoo should have all the advantages, but, they let two college students jump their shark.

Not sure what you mean..

Yahoo is a portal

Google a search engine.

Both are built on different business models.

You're basically trying to compare Starbucks to Folgers...two completely different businesses
