Do backlinks even matter anymore?

Autumn · Sep 12, 2011

ATTN all of my competitors: Backlinks might have worked in 2010 but today it's 2011 and now it's a totally outdated strategy. Meta keywords tag is where it's at these days. It's ALL about the meta keywords.

Yes, backlink do really matters. Just be patient and soon you will see your progress because it takes three months for Google to update. And you cannot make your site get rank just in a click also you should be stable in making backlink so that you can get what you want.

Yep, jam your keywords into the Meta Keyword tags as many times as possible.

Then put this in your site footer:

Code:

<div style="color:#FFF">{KEYWORDS GO HERE}</div>

and you will be number one in no time!

Then lastly go to Matt Cut1s blog and drop a couple of keyword rich links back to your site, you get indexed quicker when Matt can find your site easily.

Miscellaneous n00b abuse over!

I can't believe how wrong some guys on this forum are. How can you say that? I agree, meta tags are very important but the most important are BACKLINKS. BTW meta keywords aren't that important in google anymore. Meta title and h1 tags are more important.

Backlinks are the most important factor. Always build more and more backlinks to your site.

It has 12k plus backlinks now + the total number of pages gives it an authority.

marcus.watts · Sep 12, 2011

Plus, notice that a lot of backlinks are from the same niche.

That's true, or at least it means he needs to be doing some other things right as well.

Plus I imagine he's ranking for some longtail searches as well. Even if it's just a temporary position though, if he can take advantage of it then he can make some bank while it's there.

edit-
Compete shows he's been getting about 200k-260k visitors per month since May. I'd be happy with those traffic stats for a site like that.

Depends largely on how much money he spent getting there in my opinion.
If he paid the going rate on those spammed out BPs, he's probably still in the red.

Everyone knows hidden text and stuffed meta tags are where it's happening nowadays. All this misleading information is turning BHW into another WF.

It doesn't matter at all now....
you should resell all your backlinking tools to me at 50% price and consider yourself lucky...

j/k

I think high page rank backlinks make a difference.

Aim100IM · Sep 12, 2011

u sure, your tool did show you all links of that site ? mate majestic seo or yahoo typo tools take some time in displaying links count.

kvmcable · Sep 12, 2011

remember most of his quality backlinks will be buried and no matter how much analyzing you do, you wont find the quality backlinks.

Are you serious? Nothing is hidden on the web if you know how to search.

cherie22eddy · Sep 12, 2011

How can you tell if backlinks are bad or good? I am new to this and highly interested!

ROFL. Did you actually just quote my post and say I'm wrong? LOL

My point to the OP was exactly what you said as well... The site has a ton of links to it. The search I told him to do shows that website is referenced and linked to by thousands of other websites.

Typing a domain in the google search box might not be the most accurate backlink finder around, but when someone thinks a site is ranking with virtually no backlinks, showing them a quick example like that can give them an idea of how many more links there actually are than what they thought.

The point is the site in question has a TON of backlinks which is why it's at the top of the serp.

lol :cool2:

Oh sorry, I thought you were showing the site had a lot of content, I was thinking site:site.org

Yep searching for a specific domain as a keyword like I suggested and searching for site:domain are totally different things. :cool2:

I just thought it was funny you said I was wrong and then made the exact same point. LOL

Dantheman · Sep 12, 2011

Thanks for the responses everyone! So obviously those backlink checker tools I used were garbage. What would you recommend I use instead to check for accurate results?

balsagoth007 · Sep 12, 2011

That domain has an authority score of 77/100 which is very high and 2378 backlinks from 1333 domains. Very strong domain.
