Matt Cutts and the paid links

lthen how do u know link has been brought or exchanged.

some one who wants exchange can pay it and get done. back to step one then

 

Half of the readers of this forum. You underestimate the amount of free time most of the people on here have. If they spent that time building their own sites there wouldn't be a million posts talking about how little they earn in (insert ppc or affiliate program here)!

 

Actually i feel this as a silly move from google

 

Very very bad idea...

 

I hope you don't think I'm disagreeing! As wise man once said "this idea is ill conceived and inherently flawed" - comment #159.

 

u don't get traffic in ur website without link building. or do you expect all webmasters to start branding their sites in adwords spending huge budgets, small webmasters dont have such big pocket to spend funds.
even after inserting a ppc or affiliate program it never works out until they get traffic, so bottom line is if links are murdered where will small webmasters go ?

 

I think we should boycott everything

Adsense , google search, gmail, webmaster tools, analytics etc

 

Actually what I meant mad4 is that it is an excellent article to share. Thanks for sharing it.

It's popular now, 94 diggs so far.

 

I don't buy links and I make tons of money online. Traffic is not an issue, but paid links are just easier to get if you are lazy

 

well u don't buy links, then u get traffic by magic ?
don't u think u spend time to get traffic , or does it come from sky
and that time u spend building traffic is equal to buying paid links
if this logic ain't right i would like tips frm u for building traffic

 

They don't work. Buying links does and thats why Google is worried.

 

Google is going after the sale of links rather then the purchase itself.

Also, I doubt that the sites are going to banned at all, at most they will not be able to pass on PR or link weight.

 

Give me only 25% of your magic formula to get traffic without buying ( building) links

If you don't buy links --and if you don't build links --do I also hear that you rank on first page of Google search for many keyowrds? Well thats Online David Blaine

 

No, I get links in the normal manor. Buying links is not the only way to get links. You want tips from me to build traffic? It's called research. I've been doing this for almost 10 years. If you rely completely on paid links for your traffic, then you need to rethink your business model.

 

I never said anything about building links. I said I DON'T BUY LINKS. YOU guys need to read my posts before jumping to these conclusions.

 

Again, how in the world is Google going to be able to tell what is a paid link and not. They can't micromanage this thing, and their algorithms would have to have AI capability to do it automatically, which they don't. There is no fear here.

 

Whats really funny about this is how much google has pissed off webmasters when they are the ones who really helped spread he word about google. I can't even count how many times I have told people "no don't use yahoo, use google instead. Its much better" but its at least 100. Not to mention the "ads by gooooogle" tag next to the adsense ads. All yahoo would need to do is offer a control panel to webmasters to have thier sites indexed within minutes and then do weekly payouts on ypn and in 3 or 4 years yahoo could probably take google's spot with all the webmasters saying "no don't use google use yahoo I want to buy that new plasma tv next week"

 

Exactly! They are relying on webmasters to submit reports because they know that they have no way of finding the links themselves.

 

but how are they gonna identify if its paid or friendly link ?

 

I have to agree with you on that, I mean how many times have you heard about all the things googlebot can do and detect like unrelevent link exchanges and hidden links This is probably just google blowing smoke again to make the rookie webmasters scared so they stop buying and selling links.
