Collin1000 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Google has started to seriously crack down recently on paid backlinks to boost PR, and now they are emailing site owners letting them know they are being watched carefully: http://searchengineland.com/google-warning-more-about-bad-link-networks-117079 How do you think this will impact your SEO?

BlackHatClass Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm pretty safe as well, even though I'm fully black (no, I'm not racist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godric Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I prefer blackness too. But I am still learning the strings of that specific type of SEO. I dont really understand how they will understand, whether it is a paid link or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join a paid seo service, get the links report, find common things between the sites, change the algo a bit, and BAM! Godric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryce12 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It was bound to happen. The Private blog networks provided an easy way to get ranked without doing the hard work so it was natural that Google cracked down upon them. I think the best strategy now is to build your own blog network, not the easiest thing in the worl but not impossible either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely takes a lot of devotion to set up an entire blog network on your own, though I'm sure we'll be seeing people become more efficient at this process.

Administrators Nathan Posted April 17, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 17, 2012 I believe it now, I've seen a ton of micro niche sites pop up for sale, after checking them on http://www.semrush.com I see that they were on page 1 and now on like page 30 of Google. Beware! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm actually impressed that they're emailing the sites at all. I would fully expect them to simply slap them with a penalty and move on without any sort of warning. ChuckTesta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckTesta Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's funny to see all them sites listed! Good for google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware! Agreed, people are trying to sell off their sites while they still can before they become totally useless. I'm glad that Google is pushing these low quality sites out of the SERP pages.

Yup, they are sending these emails and notificatiosn just randomly.. One of my completely WH site also received it. ChuckTesta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram8349 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No wonder someone warned me not to use any of the paid backlink services when I asked him about it. But how does Google differentiate between paid backlinks and the links built by yourself or more legit ones like being posted elsewhere by real visitors?
