Hey all, Do you know all these sites which have a block (on either side) called partners? Well, these are back links which probably someone pays for them.... I was curious about: 1. How google treats those back links? 2. If my site is about graphic software and the "partners" site content is tvs, is it legitimate? Do i still get PR? 3. Does any risk involved with buying links? --ME
Hi Mzet, 1. Google does not want you to have paid bakclinks... 2. Yes you get PR even from unrelated website, it is Pagerank of that page which matters for PR 3. Yes risk is there... as Google will ban anyone they caught buying or selling links for PR. and also they have introduced complaint form to report sites like these..so maybe a competitor report such site... Good Luck
1- How would they know if iam selling links or these are really my partners? Don't you know any one owns 3 or more sites? I do. are these partners? site_a_about_pets.com site_b_about_cars.com site_c_about_nothing.com 2- For the PR related content: would i get higher PR from backlinks which our content is similar?
pr of ur site only depends on the PR of the web page where ur link exists....if u get the backlink from the page related to ur content or theme then it will help u gain high serch engine rankings for targeted keywords. and i think, the site selling links...often faces the paid links penalty rather than site buying such links...coz if its a penalty for buying site then in a way ur competition can screw u overnight with buying offensive links for ur site!!!!!
