I know all that now, i have read about it and then i went and checked out my sig links site and before I used to type in the site on google and it would show 600+ queries and it was a PR4 then PR3 now its not even listed anymore.....haha....that kinda sucks.... its superrichguy.com So I wonder, my dating site was a pr4 and now its a pr2, i wonder if its cause its linked to that site? How many others has this happened to? and whats the name of that big link site? wasnt it million dollar or something? i wanna see if they are still listed. Thanks Jason
you mean this site? http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ still seems to have pr6. they did get a lot of media attention so there's a lot of one-way inbound links
if i were to take a guess, google particularly didn't like the fact that you had a whole lot of verbiage extolling the virtues of link buying. just too cocky, given google's crusade against link selling
It's easy enough for somebody to report another for paid links, you do if through the webmaster tools console. I guess somebody could have done that to you.
How would Google know if the links are paid or exchange? LOL. I think alot of people here, think Google sees them in the John:Toilet:Outhouse:Baño
maybe we should unite and defend our self and not to allie with goggle on any circumstances ( dont report paid links) , but u still do their adsense but not become too close with them
Link exchanges are also off limits according to Google. AdSense uses javascript to generate the links; they're invisible to search engines and don't pass any ranking power. Google is punishing sites that sell links without doing the same.
Incorrect... http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66356 It is called excessive link exchanges, get it right or don't reply at all.
Take it as it is, you should not have more link exchanges than natural links, period. Does everything need to be explained in full depth, no. If they did, everyone would have minus one of the maxed allowed link exchanges.
So if you only have one natural link then you should only have one link exchange? Depending on the type of site,truly natural backlinks will be very hard to get. Like most of Google's guide lines, they skirt around the subject without offering any substance or clarification. This leaves webmaters to guess and speculate what they mean... with G posed to pounce...You violated OUR guidelines....you have excessive link exchanges. If they are going to use terms like "excessive" then yea, the need to quantity excessive.
I know, me either. I just get frustrated trying to decipher Google's guide lines. To me most of them or very cryptic and open to a broad interpretation.
