“Bj…would you take a look at this link request and tell me if it is a good thing?”<\/p>\n
Good morning!<\/p>\n
If you click on the link and go to the page, you will see that what they are
\noffering you is an EIGHT page-deep link farm.\u00c2\u00a0 *Remember what I told you
\nabout SE spiders only going 4 deep?\u00c2\u00a0 There are rare exceptions, but always pertaining to articles (content).\u00c2\u00a0 That means the page they are touting ‘a grandiose future’ – will never be ranked at all.<\/p>\n
Google now PENALIZES the link that is placed in ‘link farms’.\u00c2\u00a0 *New rule (I
\nknow, always changing….but that is why you have me, LOL.)\u00c2\u00a0 The only
\nexception that we want to place here, is if the link farm has a PR ranking
\nhigher than 3 – and it MUST be on topic with your site…specifically!<\/p>\n
In return from your website, you would be giving them a TWO page-deep link on a 2-3 PR ranked page!\u00c2\u00a0 With the new rules, it is not about kindness…it is more like Bank Monies.\u00c2\u00a0 Link to a high PR page and you earn dividends.\u00c2\u00a0 Link to a low PR page and you pay charges.<\/p>\n
Link Farms are completely automated.\u00c2\u00a0 Meaning, these are not hand selected and code-written ‘natural’ links (like you have and what Google looks for).\u00c2\u00a0 The directory, the emails, the links…it is all handled through software on their server.\u00c2\u00a0 The Search Engines know this and can identify them immediately as places of no value.\u00c2\u00a0 According to Google, a site that
\nparticipates in a link farm may have it’s search rankings penalized.\u00c2\u00a0 Search
\nengines try to identify specific attributes associated with link farm pages
\nand filter those pages from indexing and search results.\u00c2\u00a0 In some cases,
\nentire domains are removed from the search engine indexes to prevent them from influencing search results.<\/p>\n
Things to look for:<\/p>\n
1-There is often times (not always) a ‘directory path’ lined up on the top
\nof the page, i.e., home > pets > horses > breeders > united states > pacific coast > California (all of these would be links).<\/p>\n
2-You will sometimes see ‘hits’ or ‘most popular’ meters.<\/p>\n
3-You will always find – or be requested via an email, to go visit the site
\nand submit all the info yourself.<\/p>\n
Please keep in mind, it doesn’t matter what the homepage ranking for their website is, which is what they will brag about to you.\u00c2\u00a0 If they are not
\nputting your link on their homepage, it makes NO difference.\u00c2\u00a0 It is always
\nand only the ranking of the page they place your link on that is – or is
\nnot, the benefit to your site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
