I’ve tried searching for this topic here and saw a rather old thread about this. I have already googled it and read some stuff about this. Have visited WF just for this as well.
My question is, are there people out here who have actually tried these links they offer and did it really skyrocket your place in the SERPs. In WF they say profile link creation is NOT a spamming technique. I’d like to make sure how true is that at this moment.
I did not say they did not work, I said they are only used by low life bottom dwelling scumbag parasites who’s sites are so bad that they can not get links given to them editorially so they have to abuse other peoples web properties to get links…what does that say about the ethics and morals of those people?
And they probably do not help; they will certainly get your site reported to Google via the spam report tool as using this method to build backlinks. More and more forums owners are getting really pissed at this abuse of their websites.
Google have a blog post about not building links this way, so assume that they either have or soon will have an algorithmic solution to deal with this
That was a really good article cbp. though I think it was intended to forum site webmasters but it got all my questions answered. I guess these angela’s and paul’s links are just so unnecessary after all.
It is a spamming technique and waster of time. I have seen the back link packet and noticed they are trying to get rank for term ‘Backlinks” for years.
Now if we search the term “backlinks” can we see Angela or Pauls websites?
Get as much as natural links like Yahoo and Dmoz directory, High quality relevant articles, press releases… Do as much as natural ways to get back links because if you do smart Google engineers are smarter
If an SEO “expert” can’t get top rankings for their own website, that’s a pretty good indication they probably won’t be able to do it for yours either.
I actually googled the keyword “backlinks” too and just couldn’t find anything that relates to their site or to wf. Just recently, I tried creating profiles/accounts using the links in one of their packets and found out that most of these sites disabled their signature or bbcode and html on bio sections (these are the places they say we can leave our links). I think what really happened was, they must have had really hit the 1st page of of the SERPS using this strategy with the keyword we just mentioned but after a while webmasters in these sites discarded their accounts on their sites or forums.
I used to use Angela back-link packets, as far as search engine optimization is concerned it can really increase your SERP’s. But, the downfall is those profile links are hard to get indexed. I started using it since October 2010 and 80-90% of my back-links have not been indexed yet, despite I tried almost all kind of back-links indexing methods or tips. That’s why I can’t really tell if it works.
Something terribly wrong has happened, Angela had an article about her back-link packets on Goarticles.com, this article was in the 3rd position for the keyword “Backlinks” on Google. While posting on this forum I type that same keyword, her ranking seems to be gone for that keyword. That article is nowhere to be found in the Google search result.
That sounds like something has gone terribly right. They got that position through spamming and dodgy tactics, and Google has dropped or delisted them as a result. They will now be showing in the place they deserve to be, which is way, way down. That is what is likely to happen to anyone who uses spamming services as well … why is why you’re better off ignoring the snake oil salesmen.
