Nice article. I definitely agree with selling links in the posts instead of site-wide links. I think in a few months time most site-wide links will go the way of reciprocal links
Iam confuse by one thing in paid link debate...why webmasters don't want to put nofollow on links? If nofollow put on links, then publishers keep link juice and advertisers get more accurate count of real traffics from the ad, so that they have better idea of what ad is actually doing for customer. Why the ppls who not want to put nofollow on ad links want to screw their advertisers? It bad business, give publishers a bad name, yay for Google for taking stance on bad publishers.
Read the whole post...I don't sell links. But if I wanted to...and pass on link juice from my site...that's my choice to do, not google's. Remember, it's my site...my property...
Look...these websites belong to us. They're our property, and we can link link to whoever we want to without google deciding what's worthy of us linking to. What about directories. Some are free, some reciprocal, some paid, and some all three. Is google going to go in and try and try and figure out who paid and then disregard their listing in the directory. You can pay to be listed in Yahoo's directory and reap the benefits. Are all the listings in there going to be discredited arbitrarily across the board? This is just like last year when google "leaked" that they were having human beings check all the sites and deciding what's quality and what's not...
My what a silly ass soap opera. The OP did not think of the ways to gat around Google this was posted on Sphinn.com and he copied it. Next If you build a business online You Do Not Need To Worry About Friggen Links
No you can't do whatever you want. If you're using Google's ads, they have terms. You agreed to those terms when you signed up. maybe you should read a little about that. I mean, you're welcome to do whatever you want, but when they stop paying you because you're not the smartest guy in the world and realize that unless you follow their rules they have no obligation to pay you, maybe then you'll figure it out. NOTHING about Google AdSense is your property. Not sure why that's so hard to figure out. the other 99.999% of the planet knows this. When you take AdSense off your site you can do whatever stupid things you want. When you're removed from the index, you'll probably wonder why. You say you don't sell links so at least you're smart enough to know it. You just don't admit it. It's google's rules, and their business. Contrary to your warped sense of responsibility, you already agreed not to
Adsense has nothing to do with this...never has. I never mentioned Adsense. The discussion is about google trying to discredit outbound links that they think are paid links...not Adsense. I have sites with it and without it...and the ones without are more important to me than the ones with. Google already lifted the ban on having other contextuals on your site with theirs...not to mention that your outbound links have no relationship to the bloody Adsense on your site. Just because google has a thing called Adsense doesn't give them license to do whatever they want in other areas. Your reply is stupid.
Maybe you should read the article genius. maybe your irrelevant babbling and bad advice doesn't have anything to do with adsense. But the thread does
Build a business online that does not depend on another business for its existence! To do otherwise is begging to go bankrupt
OK...there's no TOS violation from having outbound links on your page with Adsense on it. You can have them and also other contextual advertising along side Adsense. As well as banners you get paid advertise, inline ads...
Why has no-one questioned this yet? Where's the evidence that G is even taking account of such text in order to identify paid links? I've heard it repeated often, but that doesn't make it true.
I just love all these people with the 'just stop selling links' and 'a successful business online doesn't require selling links' This one on the first page....sigh:: Wow. A serious group of disillusioned ditto heads. Google is supposed to give the most relevant results on content, but it doesn't, nope it relies too heavily on backlinks. Instead of changing up the algorithm they want the internet to change. I buy links off of hip hop forums for traffic to a hip hop store for revenue, please tell me why I should stop. Should tv commercials be banned? Radio? The Google bot is bling and deaf for now but as soon as the technology is there and it spiders other media these imbeciles (yes you are) will want those ads banned. It's Googles fault for relying too much on backlinks and not content, it's an absolute and blatant weakness of their algorithm but they feel they're big enough to manipulate the webs behavior instead of their own.
Actually the only site they can control is their own. Not sure what blunt you smoked to make it appear they control the web, But I can assure you once your off that high, that Google controls just the businesses they own. How you surf the other billions of sites that make up the web is up to you. Peace!
Apparently english is not your first language I'll highlight for e-a-s-y reading. "they feel they're big enough to manipulate the webs behavior instead of their own" They feel enough people use Google as a search engine that they can manipulate web masters therefore their (webmasters) content. Amazing. I'm sure your home schooling was great, but you might want to venture farther in your studies.
Well it most certainly is not yours since you failed to capitalize English. Read what you posted.. Perhaps to the homie in the hood living the hip hop style it makes sense but to those of us with a clue we realize Googles does what's best for their business and does not force any hip hop retailer to use it's website. And you do not try to manipulate your homeboys into buying your hip hop merchandise?? Kind of the pot calling the kettle black Yes well any schooling I have had which as an ignorant person you have no idea and try to lay a lame smack down but heres the deal. I learned more in Kindergarten than you did your entire 8 years of (let me use my hip hop slang so you can understand) "skool before dropping out to slang on da korner and tag every bildin u sawd"
How do you suggest getting high PR for a really competitive term? You may have a better page with more unique relvant content but if you dont get big links then you will never make 1st page.
PR? Do me a favor step away from the keyboard....walk or drive to the closest town near you and count the number of businesses that have PR? Or better yet check this out for one of my domains - No site last week My clickbank earnings: Thu Oct 11 $34.02 Wed Oct 10 $68.04 Spent $4.16 on PPC So I earned $102.06 Ads - 4.16 Domain name - 8.88 --------------------- PR-ofit $89.02 That is the only PR you should worry about and thats PROFIT!!!!!!! Ask me if I care about Google PageRank lol
Who said "only"? I will tell you an example based on one of my sites monthly income: CPC = ~$10 Link Sales = ~$80 Now, not selling links on it would be stupid. However, maybe cost per click will go up if google will implement this right and CPC profit would be $90 hehe.
