| I don't know if anyone did that or not, but I was getting concerned emails from people about this site and the ramifications of backlinking as well. I put that note together so that Paul and I both had an answer for the folks who had actually been frightened by the email from this guy. He is simply trying to scare people. It's a bit "over the top", IMO.

I think it would be better to let sleeping dogs lie or in this case a snarling dog. Firing off a nasty email to him might make you feel good initially, but it does little else. (If you really can't resist the urge, I at least suggest you use a throwaway email account) The email will not change his mind even if all the above is true. Worse, you could tick him off and get him on a campaign to get back at you. I view it like this. Its his house, his rules. If he does not want these extra profiles, it is his prerogative on how he wants to handle it. Sure he should just turn off these features, but maybe he doesn't have the programming know how or want to spend the cost right now to be able to do that. From his point of view, he is just trying to protect his website. I just think he is going about it the wrong way. However, his email is rather chilling which I imagine may serve its purpose of keeping multiple spamming from occurring. The real question would be even if he did report you to Google, would Google do anything about it or is this a small potatoes issue to them? |

Can you imagine all the "tattling" that would happen if this sort of thing DID have an effect on Google? Marketers would be "reporting" their competitors every day. |

Question... I have been linking the crap out of my new site, at first the rankings improved, but from a week ago my rankings started to decrease bit by bit every day. 14th, next day 15th, next day 16th etc etc I don't think this is the google dance, and I have never stopped my linking campaign. What is happening here? Maybe Google is devaluing my links? Age of the domain and website must play a factor, why I'm saying this is because the number one two and three spot, 90% of their backlinks comes from directories and link pages (reciprocal links), but their domains is at least two years old. |

Using Angela and PJ's backlinks, I've gotten several GoArticles to #1 for a range of specific phrases. THE PROBLEM? The problem is that these articles don't seem to convert into sales. I've played around with different article styles: reviews, FAQ, problem/solution etc but conversions are elusive across a range of Clickbank products in very different niches. Have any Warriors here hit on a good layout/style/approach on GoArticles that seems to work sales-wise? Plus, Warriors using GA should use all available formatting and linking options in their articles: centering, bolding, bullet points, in-article links, vertical spacing for readability etc as GA is very flexible in this regard (unlike EZA). Thanks for sharing your experience. |

LOL Saidar, I had the same worry a few days ago when my customers website vanished from page 4 - I was convincing myself I'd killed it off. Fortunately it's now back - it arrived half way up page 3 & is now currently at the top of page 2 - COME ON BABY, COME ON!!!! |

This kind of backlink building (Angela Edwards etc) works only with older trusted sites that have "some" traffic not with new websites which have a little traffic. You can try it yourself: register a domain, obtain 200 backlinks by using specific keyword from high PR sites and wait a few days. You can get a good position in Google for a while but then Google drops your page out of first 500 SE results with that keyword. Google do not deindex that page but you can't find that page later with your keyword via Google. And this is not some "Google Dance". You can wait a year but your page will not appear again in top 100 results in Google with your keyword. |

He created the page and I went to work on it. Within a week, his site was number ONE for that keyword, where it remains today.

But like I said, the age factor of a website must play a huge role in obtaining backlinks. By the way, the day before it happened I installed Google analytics on my site. Maybe Google uses that data to determine the rank of your website because a website with 200 links and no traffic in analytics is off course a website who obtained the links himself. Maybe we should not use analytics until the site receives some good traffic | |

I don't think so and if you read all of this and others threads many of us have had new sites rank and stay up on the first page with these links. I have finally reached #5 for a site I have been linking to for the past 2 mo. Thanks Angela! Quote:

Perhaps it had more to do with Porn ... other links from bad neighborhoods, or adsense spam/violations or something else - it certainly had NOTHING to do with a google penalty for too many HIGH PR backlinks to quickly. .... 200 ... too many backlinks too quickly? ... totally absurd. More likely you got spidered by the bots quickly cuz you used a high traffic high PR domain to obtain a backlink ... site got indexed quickly - ALL Good things ... you got a temporary QDF bump to the front of the line for fresh new content ... then your site settled into its rightful spot in the SERPS. If you went and placed 200 backlinks on 200 different sites in a 48 hr period - very UNLIKELY theyd get hit by Yahoo slerp or Googlebot for weeks... So in effect your new domain would trickle in those 200 links over a 4 week period or longer. Certainly nothing to set off any red flags. If all you did was put down 200 links and stop ... a good 25% of those likely never were found and another % were removed by mods or not approved and deleted - so when the bots went back on their rotation to that site - they were not found again, and deleted from gooogle and yahoo's systems. So your total link count likely dropped off big time. Quote:

Yes, it's based on my own experience but maybe I'm wrong, sorry Angela. Maybe I have used too competitive keyword terms. But (in my opinion) it's much easier to get better results with trusted high traffic website than with a new one. And some pages got (not very) good positions (maybe 3 months ago) but lost them, I don't know why. "Star Trek Computer Sound" has not competition at all: only 200-300 results (when search term in title tag) in Google. So it's easy to get a page with this term on page 1 on SERPs... | |

![]() But that whole issue doesn't matter. The only reason I brought it up is because it proves that the backlinks do, indeed, work for brand new websites, which you said they didn't. If you are trying to compete in a HUGELY competitive market, of COURSE it will take longer and more links. The links are powerful, but they are not going to get you to Page One out of millions and millions of results in a week or two. Even *I* wouldn't recommend that a brand new site try to compete with millions of other sites right away if they actually want to see a good ranking in the near future. That's a "given", I would have thought. But it still doesn't mean the backlinks don't work for brand new sites. | |

Love your backlink packets, am a devoted member! I also belong to Brute Force, where we just got access today to the Linking Loophole software that incorporates a certain number of high PR backlinks. I'm curious, because you (and others have) stress that it's wise to fill out profiles etc, but then isn't that quite contrary to the purpose of BF - where automation is key? Are you suggesting that although we have this great Linking Loophole software to automate the backlinking, we *also* should visit these sites and fill out profiles etc? I'm concerned, because obviously that just undermines the whole purpose of having the software automate anything to do with backlinking. My personal opinion - the backlinks through the automation of the software, without *any* other enhancements to the sites' profile pages etc, will still prove to be strong in the serps. I'm interested to hear what you have to say about it though. Thanks! Karen | |

Hi Karen, Thank you very much for your kind words. As far as the SERPS go, getting your backlinks that way will probably be no problem. For now. However, people are concerned about webmasters removing the links later on (although this really only happens in a TINY percentage of the sites) because all that is there is a link and no other information at all. I can see the point and if webmasters, sometime in the future, decide to really crack down on this sort of thing then backlinks that are automated in the way you are talking about will probably be the ones most at risk of removal. At this point it's really up to you, but I do advocate being a "good neighbor" and good neighbors tend to give (ie, a little bit of information about you) as well as "take". |

| Ok guys, this is what you may call a little bit off topic (I don’t think it is) but I have to ask cause is very-very important…. Ok, I’ve been using Angela’s backlinks and I’m doing ok so far, so I built 2 more sites and I’m in the process of KEYWORD RESEARCH for the new articles… Keyword research, I believe is the base of Online Business… Here is my dilemma: I did some research using WORDTRACKER and SEOBOOK (seobook is powered by wordtraker so it contains about the same data)… Then I went to compare the results with GOOGLE KEYWORD EXTERNAL TOOL and I was astonished!… not only the results are totally different; far worse they are opposite… Some keywords in GKET have hundreds, even thousands of daily searches (I divided the GLOOGLE numbers into 30 days to get a roughly daily estimate), and wordtraker shows only 2 or 3 daily searches… Other times is the opposite; Wordtracker shows 800 or 900 daily searches, and Google shows very few and in some instances “NO ENOUGH DATA” But it gets worse; if I do the research in MARKET SAMURAI, again I get extremely different results, and I’m getting frustrated over this…. I optimized a website before and after I got to GOOGLE ‘page 1’ I didn’t get the searches I was expecting…. So I like to get it right from now on… Where do you guys do your Keyword research? Any advice will be really appreciated… DJBory How To Stop Foreclosure |

Here's my update -- I submitted my Goarticles article and over the course of a week submitted 30 backlinks (most of the PR 7). A little less than a week after the last link was posted the article was at number 5. A few days later it dropped to number 6. Then yesterday (about 1 week later), it dropped to number 16. I think I will add at least one new link to it and see if I can get it to come back up. I know my Squidoo lens that I backlinked like crazy and had risen up to #16 has dropped to 40-something, even though I occasionally add additional links to it. So I guess I'm a bit discouraged about what seems at least in some cases to be a temporary gain in ranking. One thought about avoiding SPAM detection. I didn't really do this intentionally, but I created one profile and added a comment on their forum, then got called away.... haven't gotten back to it for 3 or 4 days and it occurred to me, maybe that is best. If new profiles are being reviewed, mine will be empty when checked. Tonight I'll go back and place my links on that profile page. |

Angela and Paul, I have a question about the need for "spinning" the profile content across the different sites. In the interest of being a good neighbor and extending the lifetime of the profiles, I believe in making the profiles as realistic as possible. So, I created a 2-3 paragraph fictitious profile which includes my anchor text for 2-3 links which logically fit into the content. This way, the description of the person makes sense and the anchor text fits seemlessly into it rather than just being isolated obvious spam. So, my question has to do with using this method but avoiding the Google duplicate content filter by just cutting and pasting the same profile text on every site. Do you believe its necessary to have the profiles be at least 50% different on each backlink site to avoid tripping this filter? It would seem to be a good practice so Google doesn't see the same text and just discounts it as something it has seen 100 times before thereby possibly devaluing the backlinks. Appreciate your thoughts George |

@djbory, if you are ranked 1, you aren't technique ranked one in every of Google's databases. If you see that in the external Google keyword that it is getting lets say 6,000 searches, this is all the searches with all the databases combined. So, although if someone searched the keyword up near your location, somewhere else, it may be different. The more you dominate for the keyword, the more databases you will rank first for that particular keyword world wide. |

There's absolutely NO WAY all my sites are hosted on the same IP address. No way. I find these sites all over the Internet, using various methods. They come from EVERYWHERE and from many, many different niches. Dozens and dozens of people have reported being on Page One (many of them in the number ONE spot); some for as long 6 months to a year. The keywords and search terms they are ranking for vary from very low competition to SUPER high competition. There are dozens of testimonials right on my thread. You would have to show me hard, tangible evidence that "90% of my links come from the same IP address" for me to believe that can even possibly be true. I've already given out 330 links; you're saying that 297 of them are from the same IP address? Uh oh. No way. I just found three more great sites in the last HOUR for upcoming packets that have NOTHING whatsoever to do with one another. Absolutely nothing. They are not on same domain, not in the same niche, they don't share the same host, none of that stuff. How can they possibly be "all from the same IP address"? This is just plain wrong. And what about Paul's links? He uses the same methods I do for finding links and he gives out 120 of them every month. Are you going to say that the majority of HIS sites are all from the same IP address, too? |

Other people have found the same thing with many of the sites; a lot of people are using the sites in the packets quite often.Because people signing up on sites and not visiting the sites again is pretty common for MANY reasons: a high school kid might be out of school for the summer, a family lost their internet access, a computer crashed, the person forgot about the site, the person went on an African Safari and there is no Internet Access where they are, etc, it is going to be VERY hard for any Search Engine, including Google, to judge whether a link on a profile was simply "profile spam" or if it was put there for another reason. If anyone is going to be cracking down on this, it's going to be the website owners themselves. Google wouldn't have published that blog entry if they had a simple way to judge this and take care of it; they published that blog entry for PEOPLE to read because they need PEOPLE to stop the "profile spamming" (just like they need people to report Paid Links). You don't read blog entries about stuff that Google can simply write into their algorithm. Don't forget that. ![]() Also, remember this whole "profile thing" came about because of the spammers in the first place. If I could add blogs and forums and news stories and people would handle them correctly, we wouldn't be having this conversation about the future of "profile links". But just like Social Bookmarking, which is still strong two full YEARS after people said it was going to die, I think that decent profiles with links left in them in a respectful manner are going to be strong for a good long time to come. | |
