Most Backlinks Will Kill Your Website

War. War never changes.

CROCK of bullshit, web 2.0 dying, articles dying? generic anchor catching up to? please. last month alone I ranked 30 clients on first page of google with all the dying shit you mentioned.

if google is catching up to generic anchor catching up, how about normal customer leaving a review but putting your website on the site.

Atleast show proof to back yourself up

This is completely contrary to my experiences. Building backlinks still work absolutely fine and dandy. I don't understand the web 2.0 links being devalued especially - not from my experience! Link diversity blasts with 20+ anchor links, mostly generic, has saved plenty of my sites from the grips of Google. And bookmarking? Please. Especially in easy niches this will rank alone.

Super confused by all of this and people going "SPEAKS THE TRUTH". Yeah, maybe if you're targeting a loan keyword in the USA!

Well you must be using some extremely spun social bookmarks. I've never ranked passed page 2 with bookmarks alone, even in extremely low to competitive niches before. Although manual blog comments is another story.

The world is over! :smash:

 

[rockong]

I actually do exactly what you have written to rank websites and it's worked out great for me so far. Through the panda and penguin updates..as others get slaughtered..my sites have just kept on increasing in its ranking and traffic

Best of luck to everyone - hope Google doesn't hit you hard just do it right...although this is a blackhat forum haha

 

[skripel]

nonsense - even tho the links loose power they will not kill your website if done correctly

 

[Bloodhat]

I guess I'm just small fish, none of my sites experienced any impact one way or the other. Even those that had thousands of completely lame trashed to death scrapebox backlinks from before I knew any better. Nothing improved, but nothing got hurt in any of the updates of the past year or so. No love letters, nada. Seems to me the whole Google omnipotence is somewhat exaggerated.

I created a MNS two months ago. I bought some fiverr gigs for 600 social bookmark & some web 2.0s. After that my MNS disappeared from top 1000 but now after 1 month it comes back at top 3. Can't be happier so I think backlinks still help.

I thought we had gotten past these "oh noes the sky is falling" threads. :-/

 

[leckie]

Great post
but i have a question
you build contents as many as you can ,but where did you post them?

 

[Bloodhat]

For another angle, it pays to know your audience. Just sayn' than not everyone uses G, even nowadays.

 

[Bestbuyfoam]

This is a must read. Ill have to take a closer read when I have time.

Very useful. Thank you for shared.

PS: Dori's network failed in their relaunch of SEO Link Monster... I was greatly saddened... She had great insight but she went too public... I was hit 3 weeks ago and now trying to recover... again...

Here are two in-depth videos by Dori Friend with extensive testing regarding links. I haven't finished
watching the first video, but it's excellent and covers the recent changes. There are some
suprising results with backlink testing. Note "branding" backlinks where it will be your "brand"
followed by the anchor link. You'll want, what she calls, "onezy, tuezie" to make Google happy.
That will be some anchor text only one or two people have used. In other words, you want
to have a mix of what a population of people will use that appears normal.

Another thing covered in video 1, are links from de-indexed sites, and that tests show the links
still have "juice". These are worth watching. Dori Friend and friends are knowledgeable.

A lot of typing went into this thread but PLEASE if your best advice to members on BHW is to do nothing then DON'T MAKE THREADS. Google has never beat BHW marketing and never will. The reason is quite simple. They must work on a macro level while we can work in the micro world. The only thing and I mean ONLY THING that gives Google any sort of advantage is bullshit threads like this that all but tells webmasters to sit on their asses and do nothing. This is just what Google wants to see on BHW.

If you're waiting for Google to do anything for you then you'll be waiting a long time. You get to the top of the pile by working. Trying ideas and putting together what works and tossing what doesn't. You don't get anywhere sitting on your ass whining or waiting. Google changes affect the whole search engine. They can't afford to toss the baby with the bath-water so they have to be careful about changes to their algo that might target a few smart SOBs that beat their system. They'll have too much collateral damage they can ill afford with the FTC breathing down their necks.

So just like we've always done, we find the cracks in the fortress and walk right in. We find the exploits by trial and error on properties that we can afford to lose. WHAT HAS NEVER WORKED is sitting on our asses or doing what Google says works. Google has left hundreds of thousands of ass-kissers in their wake. People that supported them on their forums and blogs for years have suddenly seen their online properties fall out of the serps doing exactly what Google told them would work.

Please NEVER use the terms natural or unnatural links. They don't exist. Never have and never will. Those are Google phrases that make no sense. Build a website, the best website and see how many natural links occur without intervention. Few, very few. Links happen on large sites because when the sites were founded the builders invested time and money into marketing the site and created UNNATURAL links by Google's definition. They were all rewarded. EVER LAST ONE OF THEM! So the next time you get an idea to take a swig of Google Kool-Aid and come to BHW and tell us how unnatural links are taboo and evil. Trade that Kool-Aid for a beer and forget that Google bullshit.

I've been in the trenches for years and before some of you were born. I suffered my first online Trademark lawsuit in 1998 for out ranking a pos check guarantee service that was / is nothing but a scam. Since that time I've outranked thousands of other websites but I didn't do any of it by sitting on my ass or listening to what the search engines said works. I learned through trial and error and keeping after it.

If you want to beat Google, get the right tools and get to work. Take notes and monitor your results. As long as you're working you're moving forward. You'll never make a mistake while you're working. You'll discover what doesn't work and change to what does work. Sit on your ass and you're done. Get your resume ready and start looking for a job. I've been hiring workers for almost 25 years. I make jobs for people that give up. Don't be one of those people. Only one thing separates the job makers from the job workers. DRIVE to do better!

Your predictions make no sense. Backlinks must work...what people who are saying this are probably doing is making bs sites and try to rank them just to get sales...the content isnt good but your relying on quantity over quality..u know if you get enough traffic you will convert even on a low scale. The key is doing different things...i use backlinks and im careful, i use it on my 4 year old site and ranking on first page for numerous hard keywords. I created articles and get them spun, i do web 2.0 properties, high pr links ...you dont need to over do it with the links and patience. Because it didnt work for you doesnt mean it doesnt work..

 

[BHMan]

Totally worthless post. Fearmongering of the worst kind. A backlink is a backlink is a backlink, a vote is a vote. That is how google ranks, that is how they will always rank.

 

[osmokes]

Well said...because it doesnt work for them, or their too impatient to do it the correct way they say it doesnt work.. Reminds me in high school, guy tried to talk to this girl i liked..he couldnt get her so he said something wrong with her, she looking for too much. I talk to her and it was all she wrote. If the method your using doesnt work blame you..dont blame the process

"Why is Google doing this? That I cannot tell you, but I know adwords spending is growing rapidly and the next quarterly earnings report would surprise many people."

COUGH BULLSHIT COUGH

"Some privileged information cannot be posted here"

COUGH MORE BULLSHIT COUGH

What a pile of shite.
The usual "wannabe" and "conspiracy" post mix.

Sprinkling some well known truisms with some darker "I know stuff that you don't" crap.
I've only ever "minus repped" someone twice in all my time here. I won't do it for this scaremongering bullshit, but I'm sorely fucking tempted!

Believe the "I know stuff" and "Google is gonna do this" crap on this post at your peril. It's supposition at best - total "crap on a pointy stick" at worst.

My real gripe is that heinous egregious shit like this is the sort of thing that will make people stop taking the massive action they need to take to achieve success on the internet.
If this was my forum I'd ban the OP for a week and tell him not to post anymore scare-mongering anti competitive crap or feck off altogether.
