Stop wasting your money on bad links
- SEO |
Ever since google released Penguin in 2012, some of the SEO consultants as well as site owners continued posting links to questionable sites, saying that it is good for promotion in a specific region or through low frequency requests, but the thing is that I still do not use business keys in anchor for these sites, not everyone is penalized. The main problem is not a lack of knowledge but rather outdated information.
What do I meant by "low quality sites"? These are spam blogs, networks of satellites and articles websites. Why do I put them in the same bucket? Article resources are better and whiter than spam blog. Before we jump to any conclusion let's look at their common features. (Do you know how these things came to being?) Spam blogs are websites created for promotion of other sites.
Spam blog require little time to build, since there are free blogging platform and tools for generation or aggregation of contents. Many major seo-company and brand stores have long used this tool to increase the link mass, these are the site such as blogger.com.
But in fact, such links make no positive impact, not in seo, not in traffic or conversions. Those who make money placing links to spam blogs, will soon make money removing them. You can always use a waiver of links through Google Webmaster.
Networks of satellites are almost the same spam blog, but they work differently. This can be fake online shopping sites or services, information resources, directories and others. Network owners are guided by the same principle - once the links are working, it is necessary to create a variety of agents, which for us will tell about them.
Just for $10 you can find a script that creates a unique online store for a given subject, products, pictures, images to Google in a second. It can even pick up video reviews on YouTube. However, a good network is expensive, and only the large companies can afford it.
The "confession of the black SEO" describes how through ownership of a network of satellites in a pre "Penguin" era people lured major clients.
Article directories and site articles are in fact the same blog entry, just a little bit more text with a little differently decorated home page design. Articles Sites appear to be much better than blogs in terms of links, however, that is illusion, they work the same way.
And most article networks were created specifically for money making through the links, and not through a conversion but through their impact on SEO. You may be presented with a silver plate with the inscription of the "Article marketing", but marketing starts where there is a target audience but in most cases the web sites on which company or webmaster will get you to post links, do not have much of the target traffic, if any at all.
How do you determine which sites are useful for articles, which are not? In the first place this kind of sites contain useless content and the site in general is useless. There is no traffic, practically nobody reads them, except for someone who get there accidentally. In such sites almost all traffic comes from organic links and it is usually very small.
Behavioral factors are bad as well. Many failures, small internal transfer or comments. The visitor will be better off going to advertised sites than to stay on the site.
No one wants to get links to these sites (unless the sites are from their network). There are more sites that link to these sites than the other way around.
Links to spam blog sites lead to completely different topics, from children's toys and English courses to lease real estate and buying gadgets. Some webmasters find solutions by creating themed spam blog and link exclusively on the topic, but that doesn't help much. Commercial anchor links to these sites are mainly on the business sites and often have a commercial anchor.
Big mistake of the search engines is that they continue to index these sites. And these resources will exist for a long time, until sale of links and context pays for the domain. Traffic allows them to monetize and somehow exist.
Webmasters and SEOs may also participate in cleaning the Internet from marginally useful entities. A good place to start is to stop buying the links, express your thoughts to friends and colleagues regarding the links, publish in blogs examples of links have lead or may lead to a decrease in the company's reputation or its traffic from search, publish examples of how to obtain links naturally or in creative ways, not to cooperate with companies that offer to buy links or articles. It's time to gather stones, thoughtlessly scattered in the past.
The users of Fiverr are especially nasty in that, when ordering the links there you need to check them carefully, do not take a larger package from new users, especially if they have bought them on any link exchange or have placed them through software.
Lasty, I would like to share the minimum conditions when placing links:
And methods to distribute the links
It'll be interesting to hear your opinion on the quality of the links.
